"The Hyacinth Tearoom has recently moved from Halstead. The staff are friendly, although service can be slow at times. The food ranges from okay to good, but the highlight is the selection of cakes. Previously known for their delicious traditional homemade cakes like Victoria sponge and lemon drizzle, the tearoom now mainly offers "drip" cakes. While these cakes may be visually impressive, it would be nice to have more variety to choose from. One positive aspect is that the tearoom is dog-friendly, with a few indoor tables for pet owners. Dining outside in nice weather is also a pleasant experience."

I've been to this cafe many times over the years. It's a very pleasant place and the staff are nice (if a little rushed). But the prices are very expensive at the moment £6.80 for a latte and slice of cake is silly.

The staff and atmosphere at this restaurant are friendly and pleasant, however, the food is quite expensive. I ordered a sandwich with a small amount of sun-dried tomato, brie, and mushroom, along with a few crisps, salad, and a coffee, which came to a total of £11.45.

We had a lovely lunch in the barn. We had coronation chicken and mozzarella and pesto sandwiches. The sandwiches were accompanied by salad and crisps. The portions were generous and the food was tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. We just tried this restaurant on spec as we were new to the area. We loved it!
Barry
We visited Hyacinth for the first time in a long while and it was well worth the visit. Excellent quality, food served hot, big portions and reasonably priced. The lady who served us was friendly and very attentive. Will certainly be our 'go to ' cafe when we are next in the area and it will be sooner rather than later.

The cafe is in a lovely barn with an amazing selection of cakes. The menu is friendly for meat eaters and vegetarians alike and they also welcome dogs inside which is a plus! The food has always been to a high standard and the only issue is that they regularly seem understaffed leading to slow service… not an issue if you’re not in a hurry though. Will return again soon.

What a delightful afternoon! The afternoon tea was absolutely fantastic. There were plenty of finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, and various cakes and desserts. The staff were excellent and the prices were very reasonable. The ambiance was simply magical, especially with the beautiful Christmas tree. I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion or just a casual lunch or afternoon coffee with friends.

What better place to have a wedding reception. Wow …this venue and the staff are simply amazing. From the first day we met the manager to the last second before we left it was just amazing. My husband and I had the best day but having the Hyacinth afternoon tea for all our family and friends just made it for us. We 100% recommend this stunning venue for any occasion.. Even if it’s just a tea and cake. Myself and My Husband cannot thank you enough..

I’m a regular at the cafe and farm shop and love it. The food is always great, with helpful, friendly staff. I do think that the prices are very steep for the main meals for a local cafe, sometimes more expensive that pubs. Also, what really annoys me that the farm shop never has any prices on the products, especially the fresh fruit and veg. I often have a certain amount of money and too embarrassed to go and pay and then not have enough money. Other than that, it’s a lovely place with great food and staff.
