Claire's Cabin, Cafe & Smokehouse

Lovely lunch, homemade smoked fishcakes with salad, (chips separately), brie and cranberry sandwich and side salad, fish goujon wraps and salad, mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini and side salad. Good portions and very tasty. Good efficient service, clean cafe and toilets. Claire even came over and said hello, noting how far we had travelled. Very reasonably priced. Well done xx

Delicious smoked seafood in simple but pleasant large barn room. I had smoked prawns which I’d not tried before and a plate with 2 types of smoked salmon include a fillet , delicious fresh mackerel pate and home made tomato bread . This is a cute and very friendly place , it’s not formal and has an easy going laid back vibe . Very friendly staff , we were helped by 2 very nice young ladies and I was very impressed by the delicious food and reasonable prices. My father had scallops which were excellent! Would definitely recommend a visit here for lunch

Claire's Cabin is the ideal place for a casual lunch and worth seeking out. A good mixed menu to suit everyone with the addition of items from the smokery. Has a dog friendly area and outside seating for summer days.

Loved it food was good bit of a wait but worth it service was excellent very friendly would recommend to anyone

This place has everything. Exceptional interesting food, realistic prices, and absolutely charming staff team, all of them, they’re caring, attentive, capable and great fun for a bit of banter too. Highlights include their quiches, of which they’re rightly very proud. Home made smoked mackerel pate to die for; the best I’ve had anywhere. All of which is available to eat in or take home. Plenty of parking. Separate indoor section for dogs, who are also made very welcome Nice big pots of tea rather than the silly little ones you get elsewhere. Yes, fully deserving of five stars, visit them and find out for yourselves!

Have used Claire's Cabin since just after it opened & go as often as we can & wouldn't go anywhere else in the locality. Fantastic homemade good quality fresh food & the best lemon meringue pudding. Also dog friendly & supplies water & biscuits for our furry friends. Plus amazing friendly staff.

Went for lunch today with my husband and it was excellent. The Mixed Smoked Plate and the Scallops and King Prawns in lemon and garlic sauce were both delicious. The staff are very happy and friendly and made us feel very welcome as soon as we stepped inside. This friendliness continued throughout our meal. Thank you all, you are doing a great job.

We have tried several places to have breakfast since moving to Tiptree a few months ago and this is by far the best! The food was excellent, cooked to perfection and hearty portions all served by friendly and attentive staff, we will certainly be returning!
