Beautiful tearooms in lovely setting. Plenty of space outside and in. Every time I've visited the food, service and amenities are outstanding. Highly

Our Breakfast was simply Yummy.My Full English was very well cooked freshly made and juicy sausages, what more could you ask for. The Salmon Egg on Toast again was spot on.We have breakfast generally at a different venue once a week and we do travel on occasions some distances for a Breakfast, and having had some amazing meals and some awful ones. “On The Latch” is way up there with the best, 5 Star Plus not just for the meal but a scrupulously clean venue, plenty space between tables and lots of seating.The Staff are all very friendly and very attentive when serving you.Highly Recommended.

Went for the latch-stack.To start the service is good. Friendly staff and manager.To finish, the burgers in the the stack were cook from frozen! Bits of gristle in there. Chip were ok I suppose.Tea was rubbish served in a mug! A mug in a so-called tea room.Won't be returning.

First time visit.Two of us popped in the off chance after a walk around the sea wall at Maylandsea. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive and we were soon enjoying some delicious BLTs and a pot of tea.

We've been here six or so times now always very welcoming, Excellent service, someone greets you as soon as you walk in and takes you to a table. Food is always very good, and very reasonably priced. Here's to our next visit.

Came here for a relaxed mum & daughter lunch on a Friday. We each had a sandwich and bowl of cheesy chips - it tasted amazing! Chips were perfectly cooked, crispy outside and ultra soft fluffy centres with generous amount of melted cheese and very filling. Sandwiches were fab too, granary bread was so soft. Comes with really nice crisps and homemade coleslaw. We were surprised just how nice it was for what we thought was a simple lunch. Really lovely staff too, so friendly and attentive.Unfortunately we were too full for cake, but that looked amazing too, so will definitely need to visit again soon for that! Would highly recommend this place.P.S. to the staff - we forgot cash for tip! So sorry, but we will be back and tipping double next visit. Thank you for the brilliant food and service xDietary restrictions: Asked for no butter or spread in the sandwich which they happily didParking: Not ideal for wheelchairs, but great that there's plenty of onsite parking

We wanted somewhere to watch the Football World Cup and by chance found this gem! Lovely atmosphere .... a very warm welcome and the service was outstanding. The food served was delicious and well presented. Can't wait to return . Thank you for making our Sunday very enjoyable. Shame about the football result!

We came here after being recommended by family.. We had ham egg and chips which was the best! Portion sizes were ample and the food was cooked to perfection. So impressed that we decided to return for Sunday lunch a few days later. I am so fussy when it comes to a roast, but my gosh it was amazing! Service was great.. the girls are lovely… the chef? Sensational!! Thank you so much for two amazing lunches.. we will definitely return ?
