Tea Rooms

Our light and modern Tea Room, which overlooks the famous Gravel Garden was opened in 2006 and welcomes our visitors throughout the year. Our friendly staff are always on hand to offer light lunches and refreshments including home-made soup, filled rolls, mouth-watering cakes, teas and coffees. We try to source our produce locally as often as possible, from Tiptree Jams to James Whites Juices and award-winning ice cream from the Manor Farm Creamery in Bury St Edmunds.
