A great place to eat and have a drink! We did have to wait for a while since the place was full of people. But the food tasted great. And when you share a meal with friends from church it gets even better! We also got a few presents from our friends here.The orange marmalade is excellent! It is the best I have tasted so far.Highly recommend their products.. Enjoy the place..we surely did...

Stunning barn conversion café at the Cressing Barns. Service was friendly and the menu had plenty of options. The sausage sandwich was delicious as was the full English. The coffee was decent. I would return again, to try jacket potato or a ploughman’s.

Had a great ploughman's lunch, from the specials board. Elise was an attentive server, it was nice to have both good food and service, can be quite a rare experience nowadays

Tiptree Tea Rooms is a really nice cafe at the templer barn. If you like cake and afternoon tea or breakfast, this cafe is a good place to go. The staff are very friendly and there is lots of free customer parking. It's next to the fantastic Elizabethan style gardens.

As the name says it by cressing temple where there is the wall garden nice to visit after you have eaten. The menu is the same as all tiptree tea rooms. Have always been served with good service. A lovely airy place to sit in.

Absolutely love going to the Barns Tea room- either for coffee and catch up with friends or a spot of lunch. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and added bonus is that you can peruse the Tiptree produce too!! Would definitely recommend ...especially going for a walk around the grounds too! The walled garden is beautiful and it's sooo peaceful there too! At the moment they are serving Winter Ploughmans...wow! This was sooo nice and presented beautifully! Would definitely recommend!

Lovely tea room with a tea lawn in the Sun. There is also a tea patio and additional seating in two places inside. Service with a smile, delicious food. Served very quickly. Ample parking at Cressing Temple Barns. Can get busy and booking a table is advised.
