Frequently Asked Questions

We are now taking bookings for breakfast and lunch on a trial basis but are keeping the majority of our seats back for walk-ins. You can always book for afternoon tea.

Unfortunately, we are unable to mix Afternoon Tea and Lunch at the same table. Our afternoon tea experience is designed to include unlimited tea and americano coffee, which is unique to that particular service. Additionally, our lunch and afternoon tea menus are prepared in separate kitchens, which is why we need to keep them separate.

However, we are more than happy to cater to any dietary requirements or allergies that you or your guests may have, including vegan and gluten-free options.

We are dog friendly in all of our outdoor locations. In our Coggeshall location there is a dog friendly area inside. In our Maldon and Wickham Bishops locations we do not allow dogs inside the main building.

We have four locations.

Our tea room is best suited for those aged 10 and up. But we welcome guests of all ages and can provide high chairs.

We are delighted to welcome you and your little ones to our restaurant. We want to make sure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience with us. We are happy to provide high chairs for your child at the table to make them feel included in your meal.

However, we do have limited space for prams in our restaurant. Although we cannot guarantee space around a table for prams, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. If we are unable to do so, we may kindly ask you to leave the pram in the hallway or outside if there is no more room. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Whist we do allow most decorations, there’s a few important things to note:

• We don’t allow decorations that fix to the wall or ceiling as to not damage paintwork in our old listed building.
• Please be considerate of confetti – this can significantly slow down our team when trying to clear up the table, especially if there is a sitting after yours.
• You’ll only have access to your table or room from your booking time, so you wont be able to decorate before to this.

Yes, you can download our menus from each location’s web page.

Yes, just! As you can see from the pictures below, our listed building can be a little tight and steep for some wheelchair users, but we do successfully host guests in wheelchairs quite often. There is a doorbell outside our front door, just press the button and someone will be out to assist you. The measurement at narrowest width is 73cm.

The wheelchair accessible toilet is not in our main building, we use the Bright’s Path Site’s accessible toilet located at the end of the path way.
