Absolutely brilliant place to go for a yummy everyday breakfast and today a fabulous afternoon tea for mothers birthday. Happy, friendly staff, thank you very much xx

Me & my other half had a lovely non greasy full English breakfast from here, was absolutely lush! Speedy delivery & reasonable prices too. Will 100% be eating from here again.

It was pretty expensive, but the place did have a nice atmosphere, the staff were very friendly, my only complaint is that the food was average. the board game selection was vast, and it was a nice quaint experience.

Such a great place to eat. Lovely, authentic and freshly cooked to order

Visiting friends and had the breakfast next morning. Food great. Staff friendly and attentive

Lovely farm owners are lovely milk ,cheese,eggs,meat all tastes amazing and love to say hello to all the animals 😊🐐🐑🐖🐕🦃🐓🐎🐹

We visited the Old Seige House for dinner with my parents and a great night was had by all. We had informed when booking that one of the party had allergies and when they gave us the menus the waitress was already aware and carefully explained what dishes they could have and made them feel comfortable. There was also a good choice of vegetarian options. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed all our dishes and the service was spot on. We will definitely be back when we are next in the area

Came in for a spot of lunch, I am gluten free, and there is no gluten free bread so options were a wee bit limited to salads and a couple of cake bits. Ordered the caprese chicken salad with a chamomile tea. The caprese salad was excellent, bar the chicken which was not very chicken-y, a little flavorless, but lovely when mixed with the cheese and pesto sauce. Didn't understand how the teabag worked, as it was extremely long and left open (I think it was a fancy brand) so it eventually just leaked water on the table. I think this could be improved by providing some instruction on how to use the teabag. Staff kind and food brought out very quickly. Wierd beeping noise in the loo that i noticed i have in my gym"s loos too! many thanks.

Beautiful gem, hidden off the beaten track. Well cooked and presented cuisine. Try the seafood pie or pie of the day. Fair prices.

My first Christmas lunch and I thought I treat myself a lovely hot coffee with Tia Maria. I had to wait for the coffee cocktail and that was ok but when it arrived it looked messy, then I tried it was not very warm but I didn’t had heart to complain so I drank it until the last sip then I could feel something in my mouth and realised I had a fly in my mouth so it was nearly dissolved and I thought I was going to trow up. I told the staff what happened and I had the fly on my finger, the staff didn’t think anything as it was supposed to be normal, they didn’t handled it very well. They didn’t apologise say anything so I had to say I hope my glass off wine will be free of charge as already paid £7.25 for my cocktail. Anyway we carried on with the celebrations and then my Christmas lunch arrived. Looked very nice, food was hot and I enjoyed it until I thought my Christmas sausage looked a bit pale so I joked with my husband you can have it as it looks undercooked. My husband ate half and realised that sausage still raw. Told staff again and no one raised an eyebrow…. Well i think its not the way how to run a restaurant, i know everything is not perfect but at least recognise the problem. Just a sorry and an apology would have been nice.

Stayed on Mersea Island for a few days with friends for birthday celebration and was looking for somewhere to go for afternoon tea. Found The Gilt Rooms on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a go. We had to book for the afternoon tea but wow so worth it. Everything from the freshly made sandwiches to the warm fresh out of the oven scones and home bakes cakes (chocolate eclair, victoria sandwich, lemon drizzle and choc brownie were amazing. All washed down with a perfectly chilled glass of prosecco and lashings of tea or coffee. It was the absolute best afternoon tea I've ever had and have had a few. Will definitely visit again when there.

Friendly staff .we were a bit late in the day but made very welcome .

Lovely place, lovely food and Friendly staff
