Amazing Festive afternoon tea

We enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea in one of the winter orangeries. It was so pretty and cosy. I have been to Mrs S’s many times and I’m never disappointed. The amount of food on the afternoon tea was very generous with lots of sandwiches...plus other savoury treats and the most amazing scones. The sweet treats were all Christmas themed and thankfully not a mince pie in sight! Dylan was a great server - made us feel very welcome and looked after. Highly recommend Mrs Salisbury’s especially their events and seasonal specials.More

Incredible festive afternoon tea

Wonderful festive afternoon tea. Came with my sister, I have gluten allergy and my sister wanted to make some amendments to some of the sandwich options and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. On arrival the staff reconfirmed they had all our requirements correct...which they did, which was great. We were served by Chloe who was an absolute delight from start to finish, very through in explaining the food and drink, also with her service too - nothing was too much trouble. Food was 10/10 and we would both recommend and return!More

Perfect festive afternoon tea.

I visited Mrs Salisbury’s in Maldon High Street for a festive afternoon tea with a friend as our Christmas get together. I was never in doubt of the quality of the tea as everything is always of a high standard here but it definitely exceeded...our expectations. We were served perfectly by Amy who made the experience particularly enjoyable with her friendly and attentive demeanour. The food was lovely and very festive with a nice glass of Prosecco and unlimited tea. We both had a great time so many thanks to all at Mrs Salisbury’s and in particular Amy.More

Just lovely!

Very lovely afternoon tea experience. The food was delicious, the service was faultless. Such a lovely time. All the little extra details made such a difference, the scratch cards instead of crackers, the intricate details on the cakes. We loved it.

Festive afternoon tea in an exceptional setting

Festive afternoon tea taken in the orangery, which was lovely but the whole place has lovely themed areas to choose from. Varied selection of goodies, both savoury and sweet, with an exception range of gluten free options which was great. Staff were friendly and attentive...and I’m sure the kitchen staff who you don’t get to see must be working their socks off to achieve the standards presented. Good value for money. Will definitely return!More

Birthday afternoon Tea

It was for my wife's birthday. It was our third visit. We were outside in one of the orangeries. Food and service were excellent . They were doing a free scratch card instead of Christmas crackers. The top prize was afternoon tea for 2 in...the new year. My wife was lucky enough to win this. A perfect way to end an already perfect day. Can't wait to book in the new year. Thank you to all that made it special.More

Lovely atmosphere, tasty food, attentive staff

Came for afternoon tea - was our first visit. Such a lovely place, decorated beautifully and wonderful food. Really good service and attentive staff. Will definitely be coming back. We had a festive afternoon tea in the nutcracker room which meant we had our own...cosy space just for our group. It fit 4 adults comfortably and was decorated for Christmas with a bauble and fairy light ceiling.More

Delicious Christmas Afternoon Tea

Our annual Christmas afternoon tea at Mrs Salisburys, 5th consecutive year and we’ll definitely be back for a 6th year. Everyone is so attentive, beautifully decorated. We were in the Nutcracker room which is a private dining area. Each year the Christmas afternoon tea is...different and the everything was absolutely delicious. Nothing was too much trouble for the team even though they were very busy and looked fully booked, even offered to take photos for us. Thank you again for a great festive visit and we’ll be back again very soon!More
