The Vintage Rose Tea Room - Maldon

The stunning theme of Narnia created a beautiful ambience for our delicious afternoon tea. Every little touch added to the overall amazing time we had. Support small local independent businesses!

I love an occasional Cream tea and my step daughter found the Rose Tea Room and took me here as a surprise. What an utter delight this place is! I was a little confused by the pictures (or lack of them) on Trip Advisor but reading other comments it seems as if the theme of the tea rooms changes periodically. I don't know for certain about that, but when we went it was a great Alice in Wonderland theme. It looked great, the staff are friendly and, most important of all, the cream tea was delicious and a very reasonable price (to be honest I'd have been happy to pay a bit more for it). We had a laugh trying on the White Rabbit hats. Tucked away off the main road, more people need to know about this. Kids would love it this old kid did anyway!

What a charming discovery! We walked from the promenade with our grandchildren, a 10-15 minute stroll away. The food was delightful, made fresh, and the milkshakes were excellent. We even took some homemade cake to enjoy later. The Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatter's unbirthday theme kept us all entertained as we looked around and discovered every little detail.

Narnia themed afternoon tea for my Auntie's birthday was a beautiful treat. Delicious food, friendly attentive staff and a fantastic theme. Unforgettable, definitely worth a visit.

I made a reservation for afternoon tea at The Vintage Rose for my mom's birthday, and I couldn't be more impressed. They went above and beyond for us, even writing a birthday card which was a lovely touch. The sandwiches were delicious, and after requesting the menu in advance, I was able to make some changes to suit our tastes. Hayley was extremely accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The cakes were also amazing and a generous portion size. It was definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to host parties, events, or birthdays. They also offer gluten-free and vegetarian options. Overall, I give it a 10/10 rating.
