The Courtyard - Menu

We had super coffee and cake here, very friendly service. Great selection for either lunches or just a sweet treat. Nice atmosphere. Will call again.

We often pop in for coffee or lunch, the food is always prepared fresh and usually served by Nicky ,she’s always smiling and helpful , despite being very busy

We popped into the cafe for a spot of lunch. Despite being very busy, the staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was tasty and portions were generous. We would visit again. View menu

Stopped here for a quiche and salad, there were a few quiche choices, opted for the salmon and brocolli, very tasty. Great selection of cakes on offer, lovely teas and loads of other drinks choices. Very tempting tiptree flavoured vodkas and gins for sale. Recommend if you're in the area.

Lunch at the Courtyard was interesting! The food was good. Portion size good and well presented. Not cheap, but good value. There was a 30 minute wait for food, but the service itself was slow and inefficient. Staff attention seemed to be elsewhere and even paying the bill was tedious. Nice, but wouldn 't return there is better locally

Arriving at 12:30 on a Saturday lunch time, we waited just a few minutes for a table.Debbie who greeted us was most helpful as we wanted a taylormade afternoon tea.With Debbie's help we had some lovely sandwich selection and two scone choices.Unlimited coffee was a bonus. The sandwiches were excellent and as we could not eat any more, the staff packed ALL our scones and associated paraphernalia into two boxes for us to take hope..Wonderful couldn't ask for more View menu

Visit here last week with my daughter. We sat outside . We had to ask for the table to be cleaned. We both ordered jacket potatoes. When they arrived the waitress did not have gloves on and had her thumb in my daughter's jacket potatoe . The potatoes were both luke warm and my daughter's beans were cold. We sent them back there was an improvement I guess but still not great. We did not eat much and our lunch was spoilt. We both came away hungry. Will not be returning !!

On a cold Thursday lunchtime, this Tiptree cafe was packed out.I was recommended the Christmas Cracker sandwich which was made up of Turkey and stuffing between to slices of brown bread. It was weird. It so didn't work. Whoever dreamt this up had obviously too many Christmas tipples. It was a car crash of a sandwich.The upside was that the chips were great, and the Tiptree Ketchup super tasty.The meal deal £10.95) also included a cup of tea and a perfect mince pie.At least it wasn't a boring lunch!

This was our fourth visit as always found this was a great place for lunch. As always the service was prompt and friendly. However the food was a major disappointment. The menu advised they were offering a reduced menu which would have suggested staffing issues, but we thought this should not affect the quality of the food particularly as they were charging normal prices. Sadly this was not so, my toasted Cheese and Ham sandwich was just a smear of cheesy stuff and tasteless ham barely covering the otherwise dry bread, with a side salad consisting of 1 slice of tomato and cucumber and some shredded lettuce definitely not worth £8.95. Also my wife's Teacake was burnt. All in all and overprice... View menu
