Grandma Lillys Tea Rooms in Clacton-on-Sea

"Went to Grandma Lilly’s in Holland today with my daughter for a Christmas afternoon tea, and it was an absolute 10/10 The food was outstanding, the staff were so lovely, and there was so much food we were even given a goodie bag to take home. Such a beautiful experience we’ll definitely be back If you’d like it more casual, more professional, or with hashtags for social media, just say"

"Best breakfast I had in a long time sausages are perfectly cooked and good quality, hash browns crispy perfectly toasted bread ..great quality!!! A must for breakfast!!!! We also had some yummy scones with clotted cream and jam"

"We really enjoyed this lovely tearoom. The waitress was friendly and the food was good. Nice varied menu too. The decor is very pretty too. Would definitely return."

"Me and my husband were out shopping and decided to drop in for our first visit to have a hot drink to warm up on a cold damp day. As it was near lunch time and the menu looked so tempting we both ended up ordering a panini. I had tuna melt and he had bacon, Brie and cranberry. Both looked delicious when they were served and on trying them we weren't disappointed Nice and crispy but still very soft in the middle, with plenty of filling. We got talking to our server, Courtney, as we asked about the Twist herbal flavoured teas. She was very knowledgeable and some of the information she provided was very helpful. Courtney was very pleasant and polite and it was a pleasure to talk to her while there was a quiet moment. The only reason we haven't given five stars is because it did feel a little on the chilly side in the tea room. Despite there being a lovely glowing open fire and an electric heater on, I ended up putting my jacket back on after a while as I was getting cold and uncomfortable. Perhaps being in the corner with windows behind and beside us didn't help. Other than that it was a lovely experience for us both and we will be back again some time. Thank you for the advice Courtney."

"Grandma Lilly's is a lovely meeting place for lunch and the food is excellently cooked. The high tea is great too 10/10"

"Me and my husband popped in today to see what it's like in here, lovely people very bright and happy staff, the food was absolutely amazing great for value and will definitely be back again for more. My prawn with Marie sauce sandwich was the best what's your secret to the sauce!? Thank you Sam enjoyed the cake that we took to go as well"

"I had the steak pie with potatoes and veg it was lovely , service was great as always . I was so full up I had to take my Victoria sponge cake home with me! just like being at my own Nanny Ada's! Ty"

"We had a lovely meal in a cosy setting with a very pleasant waitress. Will definitely be back. They have a good range of food available."
