Dedham Arts And Craft Centre Tearoom

Lovely cafe delicious food in an interesting and engaging environment. One slight criticism it can be jolly cold there in cold weather especially when doors are left open!

Stopped here for lunch today. lovely fresh sandwiches, served promptly by friendly staff in pretty setting. The tables were cleared quickly after each customer and cleaned thoroughly. What more do you need?

Offering a Covid restricted service we had a takeaway of Teas, bacon roll, pork pie with pickle, coronation chicken sandwich coffee and walnut cake. It was all fresh and delicious. The lady serving us was friendly and chatted to us. Will return and definitely would recommend Ver carta

Called here for a meal and we were happy enough but feel it is not a place we would return to. The staff were pleasant and the food was okay, but the portions were not very generous considering the prices.. . I feel it lacked atmosphere and was not somewhere we warmed to. There was just something lacking, but I cannot put my finger on it

Visited with friends for a cuppa and chat. My friends had bacon rolls which they said smelt off!! They had tea cakes instead as it had put them off. We were charged for the bacon rolls that were uneaten as we were told there was nothing wrong with them!! Also an extra 3 on the bill that they couldn't explain. I was so shocked at this customer service.

Have always loved going to the Craft Centre tearoom and took an American friend there recently for an English 'tea and cake ' experience. But it was quite disappointing, sorry to say. The tea was fine, difficult to get that wrong, but the Victoria sponge cake was very, very dry and obviously not at all fresh. The jam had all soaked into the bottom layer, so the cake had probably been sitting around somewhere warm for some days. Ver carta

We ordered from the outside 'hatch ' and had to wait about 5 minutes before a member of staff noticed us. We ordered a pot of tea for two, a slice of carrot cake and a slice of lemon cake. These were brought out to us by a lady who looked as though it was an ordeal to be working there no communication or greeting from her at all. The tea was tepid and the teapot only contained enough for a cup each. The tiny slither of lemon cake was dry and flavourless not at all worth the price. However the carrot cake was lovely.

We have enjoyed eating here for some years, the setting is very pleasant and food tasty. The last couple of visits have however been a bit of a let-down. The first occasion when one of us ordered the Rosti at £7.50. It was very small and wasn't in our view enough to call a lunch at the price charged. The second was last week when a sausage roll and salad was ordered. The sausage roll had flaky pastry which had been overheated and was rock-hard underneath, and inedible as a result, We told the waitress who said she would mention it to the chef but there was no apology or offer of a small price reduction for what was only half a meal. Not what we would expect!

Craving a Cream Tea driving by this very glam Church/Tea room on our campervan road trip we simply had to turn back pay visit What a lovely quirky place Well worth a visit .. i enjoyed the coffee that much i wanted to purchase some to take with me for my cafetière But they had run out of there own special blend but sold other options. The busy staff noticed i was disappointed so the team rallied round to find me 2 empty canisters he blended me the beans to ground coffee in front of me and charged the same as the other bags of coffee That is going above beyond I’m Very gratefull for this kind gesture still thoroughly enjoying my coffee today .. the place is huge offers a wide range of gifts t...
