Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Basildon

You must go to the Fancy Fox! Let’s start with decor- absolutely stunning! The most beautifully decorated cafe/restaurant I have ever attended. Food- outstanding! Fresh, home made and absolutely delicious! We had the Afternoon Tea and it was THE BEST I have ever tasted! And I didn’t feel full after- that is always a sign of good ingredients! Service! Exemplary! Kerry was our waitress and the loveliest waitress! So kind, friendly, attentive, polite, smiley! Utterly charming. My daughter has special dietary requirements and Kerry was extremely accommodating to her needs. I cannot recommend the Fancy Fox highly enough. We will be back! Thank you for an amazing Afternoon Tea.

Stunning place, friendly staff and overall aesthetic is really nice. No halal options but vegetarian options were nice enough. It falls a little short on the food as the sandwiches were very dry and the non alcoholic cocktails were terrible. However, the scones and sweet treats were nice and overall quite filling.. I like that they give you a teapot to refill your own tea throughout.

Enchanted experience, beautiful decoration, friendly staff and delicious food

Personally I feel the food was under seasoned flavour was good buck was lacking salt that's my personal opinion anyway but everything was okay

The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
