Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Loughton

Looked after very well by all the staff at the restaurant. I would definitely dine there again and have recommended the restaurant to friends and family

Always good, but the thing that makes this place special are the staff. They are amazing.

Lovely food, we had the afternoon tea. Service was on point, always attentive. They catered to my dietry requirements, even the chef came out to ask if the food was ok for me, I'm a pescartarian. Would recommend.

Our family group arrived at different times but all were warmly greeted. The small courtyard where we were seated was secluded and nicely shaded. Unfortunately, despite all arriving in time for when our table was booked, we had to wait a very long time to be served any food or drinks. This was the main downside of the afternoon. Some customers who came in after us were served before us, despite our afternoon tea having been pre-ordered. Also, the table was not big enough to hold all of the food and drinks that were brought out as they were brought all together. We ended up keeping some on the bench beside us until we were ready to eat it! There was a free table next to us so it would have made sense to place that at the end of ours to make it more comfortable. The food itself was absolutely delicious and plentiful. Between us, we had several allergies and these were all catered for really well - I was impressed. The staff were pleasant and friendly at all times, if a little slow at serving us. I would definitely eat there again but I would try to find a way of ensuring we would be served more quickly.
