Went here with my mother for tea, had one of the tastiest chocolate cakes I'd ever had in my life and was pleasantly surprised by an Egyptian mint tea which I'd never had before. The staff were friendly and the building has great character. It's a lovely little quiet spot in the centre of town and I...

We popped in here as we was walking past, particularly as we was talking about the old clock museum that used to be inside - curiousity got the better of us so we went in for drink and cake!

It was busy inside and we had to wait a few mins to get a table but staff were welcoming albeit they seeme...

My son and family took me for lunch today. I chose from a lovely menu and was served by friendly staff, however, I chose a roast beef SALAD.
A FEW MIXED LEAVES TWO VERY THIN HALF SLICES OF CUCUMBER AND HALF A CHERRY TOMATO does not a salad make.

Food wasn't very nice it had no flavour and cakes tasted old and dry. Tea was served with hardly any milk. Cutlery was dirty. Tables where sticky.
Ignored by staff and spoken down to by the manager who didn't even ask if everything is ok. Toilets where dirty.
Stones on path where lose could be dan...

I organised a Hen Do. We had the most gorgeous afternoon tea over lunch time. One of our party was dairy free and the care and attention that went into ensuring the food looked and tasted wonderful was first class. There was a real desire to ensure the diary free was as lovely as the other teas. Th...

Pretentious greeting, very awkwardly say us down with our baby. A tea room that won't serve cake after 12, has no coffee syrups, which we didn't find out until we had got our hungry baby ready for his lunch.
The cake is sitting there on display and they won't serve it!
Nice decor inside though, sh...

This was a wonderful location with lovely tea and great scones. I wanted to but couldn't quite give 5 stars because while the scone was great it only came with butter not cream and they were very miserly with the jam. UPDATE: Have now been back a couple of times and the cream and jam issues have bee...

Beautiful surrounding garden, quite and relaxed. You would not think you were in the centre of Colchester. Service was ok.
Had a ploughmans lunch and it's a shame to say but it is not worth the money. Could be Improved and deserves some extras ingredients for the price.
The restaurant has so much ...

Brilliant, what a fantastic building tucked away in Colchester of one of the lanes.
Discovered it by chance and so glad we did, the food was lovely and the staff very patient as I have a hearing problem and not always easy to communicate in tea rooms, restaurants etc.
We will definitely be back fo...

England s oldest recorded town is also its oldest Roman city. With a history dating back almost 2000 years, it s a wonder that more people don t visit this north Essex town, an hour from London by train. When you re ready to rest your legs, More

Excellent spot for a quiet cuppa to take a break from shopping. We stopped on a sunny morning and had delicious loose-leaved breakfast tea with a teacake and lovely Tiptree jam, and a cheese and gooseberry scone. Table service from very friendly staff. Great facilities for babies too. Definitely rec...

A hidden oasis in Colchester is Tymperley's. Nice friendly staff with a variety of food and drink options.

Unfortunately I can't give 5 stars as I walked into dog poo on the grounds of the place. I learned that the manager's dog was responsible, it's a shame this wasn't cleaned up as it took away...

They provided a separate vegetarian afternoon tea and even a vegan one for another person in the group. The cakes were all delicious, I d highly recommend Tymperleys! Beautiful setti...
