I’ve been coming to this cafe ever since I was a little girl, I don’t live in Essex anymore but whenever I come back to visit I always come down for lunch or coffee and cake!

It’s also very dog friendly so a great place to walk to from the flitch or the discovery!

We have visited the Booking hall Cafe a few times on walks and had takeaway during COVID. The cakes are incredible and the sandwiches have been great too. Always a friendly welcome service. It can get busy so be prepared to wait, but it's worth it!
