The Essex Rose Tea Room - Colchester

Very busy great food well worth the visit seemed very popular friendly staff I would visit again

Total let down today, messed our order up completely, sandwiches were dry, sausage roll was forgotten altogether so my daughter had to wait even longer again and the scone literally fell to pieces. Staff looked and acted rushed and stressed. Definitely not in a rush to return and pay that amount for the food and service we received.

This is our favourite place. Service is excellent and very efficient. Staff very friendly. Food is delicious and nicely presented. Lovely surroundings. What more can you ask for it is a real treat to go to Essex Rose

This charming tea room has a delightful atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is consistently delicious and the staff are always welcoming and accommodating. The setting is beautiful and inviting, making it feel like a home away from home. The staff always goes above and beyond to assist guests. I highly recommend trying the afternoon tea.

Our experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. They did not have jacket potatoes, mozzarella, or vegan cheese available, without informing us beforehand. The service was very slow, with our simple order of two toasted tea cakes and three toasted sandwiches taking far too long to prepare. To make matters worse, when the food finally arrived, the sandwiches were not what we had ordered, leading to additional delays in receiving the correct meals. There were no apologies for the mistakes made. Needless to say, we did not feel inclined to leave a tip.
