About
The Courtyard Tea Room offers breakfasts, light lunches and afternoon tea. Customers can enjoy the sunny courtyard or take a seat inside. Located in the centre of Saffron Walden, it is just a short walk from the car park on the common or the town square. The Courtyard Tea Room provides a welcome break for refreshments before exploring the rich heritage of old buildings, the independent shops and St Marys church, the largest church in Essex. The twice weekly market on Tuesdays and Saturdays continues a tradition that first started in 1141. Dogs are welcome outside.
Coach parking is available a short distance away. Small group bookings mid week only.

- Currently closed - We would like to thank all our customers for their support through this challenging year. It is with great sadness that, following the latest government advice, we have now taken the decision to close all of our Tiptree Tea Rooms and shops from Thursday, 5th November. We believe that it is in the best interests of our staff and customers to remain closed until it is once again safe to open. We can’t wait to welcome you back to our Tiptree Tea Rooms once we are able to. The smell of freshly baked scones will fill the air and our friendly staff will be here to greet you with a big smile and a nice cup of tea.
