"Visited today Sunday August 2020. Fully appreciate the Covid-19 implications on businesses but now that many are operating once more, we thought we would give our custom at this important time for re-emerging businesses. However, having frequented this establishment many, many times over many years, we were extremely disappointed and shocked at both the lack of customer service and the poor quality/poor value for money and meagre portions. £5.95 for a standard tuna-mayo sandwich is shocking value for money. My wife and I both had the quiche with a side-salad which was more akin to a garnish! My stilton broccoli quiche was flavourless and was a child's portion (as was my wife's). We made the mistake of ordering dessert to cheer ourselves up. My wife described her Victoria sponge as bread like heavy (the exact opposite to what a V.S. should of course be). I chose a fruit scone which was devoid of fruit. Annoyingly, the scone was heated up, rendering it claggy and plastic like and again without flavour and the tiny single butter portion barely sufficed. You win some, you lose some but we are totally perplexed that a business, whose priority should be to ensure repeat business, is serving up food that is inferior to that which it used to provide in the not so distant past, where the quiche was to die for and was accompanied by a wonderful and generous multi-ingredient salad. A warm welcome and some friendly interaction with the customer is also a prerequisite for any business, something that was sadly lacking at this establishment today. Needless to say, we will take our custom elsewhere on our continued frequent visits to Dedham, where I'm sure it will be more appreciated."

We went here at the weekend for a tea and cake. It's always difficult giving bad reviews but this is the 3rd time we've been here and unfortunately it's the 3rd time it's been very very average. The cakes are over prices for what you get. Unfortunately we won't be returning here.

Stopped off for a light lunch on a lively Sunny Sunday. Seating outside and covid secure. Have to say sandwiches are expensive at £5.95 for 2 slices of bread with grated cheese and tomato and a small salad leaf garnish. Also tea pot only gives 2 small cups of tea. Not sure we will bother again.

Had lunch here. Noticed a number of tables reserved for booking, always a good sign. We had the quiche salad, which was amongst the best quiche I've had, pesto and tomato,, and the side salad was so fresh and tasty. It's not a big place but well worth a visit, they also serve hot food after 12 noon. Visualizza piatti

Very nice there and interesting in there and all around but be careful of the outside chairs to the cafe as one of them suddenly collapsed, causing one of our party to crash to the ground and they are not that particularly heavy for this day and age, no harm done but if they has been a bit older they could of been hurt.

What a lovely little Tearooms tucked in the corner of a craft shop. Went here for lunch with my partner, great selection I just had a ham sandwich, gorgeous freshly cut ham with fresh salad. My husband had steak pie wow it was amazing. Definitely popping back for the cake another day. Huge selection and all freshly made. A little gem for Dedham.

Visited with the wife today and had a pleasant cuppa. It certainly isn't cheap and is not to a top hotel standard, more like a very tidy cafe so makes you wonder why a piece of cake or a sausage roll is £5-£6 each? Drinks, Tea cakes and scones are more realistic but the rest is high. The service was OK but again far from top standard, we were offered an extra pot of water which was nice but this place needs to lower a few prices to make it better. The same kind of sausage roll is half the price in Paddy Scotts in Hadleigh.

Dedham is one of our favourite places to visit and we often have a picnic-style lunch in the grounds of the church, but on this occasion as we were only staying for the morning, decided to try the Dedham Arts Centre Tearoom......and wished we hadn 't!Despite the high price for tea scones for 2, we ordered it. Upon returning to our table, my wife found a silverfish under her tiny scone, so took the plate up to the counter where the scone was just placed on a new plate and handed back! I couldn 't find even ONE choc chip in my equally tiny scone, so pointed that out to the staff. 'Chef ' was brought out to examine it ! and I was grudgingly given a replacement which had all of 3 minute choc chi...

"Carluccios was my first dining experience out following I was impressed by the measures put in place by the team and how well these were adhered to. I felt completely at ease throughout my meal, staff wore face masks, tables were socially distanced, staff...were visibly washing their hands/using hand sanitiser throughout and the cleanliness of the restaurant was unmatched. It was reassuring to see these protocols in place during these uncertain times. The staff really went above and beyond to deliver the authentic Carluccio’s experience despite the current challenges! My experience was amazing from beginning until end. I was greeted by management at the door and by the wonderful bar team, Gemma and Emma, who made me feel welcomed with their friendly greetings as I shown to my table. I was then greeted by my amazing waitress Sasina, who is an absolute credit to the team! She was so friendly and bubbly, very attentive to our needs and delivered an overall wonderful experience! Our drinks order was taken promptly, we were asked if we had any allergies (very impressive and offered bread and olives to start off with. Once our drinks arrived, our food order was taken quickly without any hassle. Sasina suggested the lasagna for my main with a side of the garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Her suggestions were superb! Sasina was also very mindful of the fact my guest was a vegetarian, making sure to point out all the vegetarian options (and even went out of her way to get some vegetarian Parmesan cheese Our food came promptly and cannot be faulted. It tasted incredible (big thanks to the amazing chefs We had the garlic focaccia with cheese, tomato bruschetta and calamari to start which was delicious. The calamari is the best I have ever had! And for mains, we had the lasagna and the spinach and ricotta ravioli (which the lovely Sasina was able to change the usual sauce to a tomato one with a side of garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Our meal was phenomenal and the service was even better! My mother and I will be returning to dine with the amazing team at Carluccios without a doubt! Overall, the restaurant had a lovely, welcoming ambiance. All of the staff were smiley and friendly and all made a point of saying goodbye to us as we left the restaurant. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the mouth-watering new menu! Thank you all for a terrific experience!"
