We had Sunday roast here which was lovely very tasty, the meat was out of this world. The chef was also happy to sort a meal out for my vegan friend which she said was very tasty also. The decor needs a little update but staff were very friendly.

Excellent meal and good value

Carvery- superb. This place can do roast potatoes. Beef is very special. Decor- has not been touched for maybe 50 years, so is in a bit of a time warp. Not the point, and really rather charming. People come here for an incredible value for money carvery restaurant.

Great food and staff

K. P.

Passed the New Times many times before finally visiting today. This is excellent place to eat and drink, especially the Carvery, although other good menu items are available. Even on a busy day the service was good and food delivery prompt. Their kitchen is clearly we'll run to support the service. All at a very reasonable price. A good place to try if in Tiptree or passing through😊.

Totally awesome food

P. B.

We have been to this place twice before and will certainly go back again. The first time we found it by accident and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the starters and the great carvery. The second time we took friends and they are usually very critical with food but said this was the best carvery they had been to and they would go again. Just wish it was open longer hours. GREAT PLACE.

Went in to dine in as a family of four. The whole experience from start to finish is great. The staff was friendly and kind. The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. We are definitely coming back.

p. s.

A real surprise. Wasn't expecting much, with it being a pub with an indian restaurant but the meal was really good. It was empty, shame as the place is nicely decorated and quite inviting but the service food and cleanliness was very good and we had a really nice birthday lunch. The Beef Kalimirch is fist class. Looking forward to returning soon.

Nice large pub. Service was friendly. The food was typical pub food. Nice but not gourmet pub.

D. K.

A very pleasant carvery. It handled our party of 25 with smooth skill. The starter bar was excellent as was the carvery meat choice and roast potaoes and yorkshires. Vegetables rather overcooked for my taste. Pudding selection was very good and coffee was nice

A. S.

Good pub food and friendly helpful staff, also very spacious dining room so easy to keep covid distanced.

E. J.

Yummy Carvery meal, well done chefs and staff. Roast Sirloin of Beef, heavenly👌👌👌

A. J.

Tiptree carvery is a fresh change from any of the big carvery chains. Yes it is like stepping back in time a little with the decor but that just adds to the character of the place. The starters of cold meats, roll mops & salad really gets the apatite going before a more home cooked style roast. It doesn't feel like the food is on a conveyer belt unlike the big chains. The deserts were just fantastic. The staff were rushed off their feet but still smiled as they came to the table. Only downside to me was walking through the bar full of locals to get to the restaurant.

S. W.

The best carvery in Essex, I would highly recommend, a choice of three meats, a good choice of veg, and lovely roast potatoes, huge car park, and very the staff are so friendly and helpful, there's a very good range of desert's. We go there once a month,

M. D.

There is a lovely starter bar, or soup if preferred. Main meal is a carvery (or alternatives). Selection of desserts. Cannot give 5 stars as the roast potatoes always let them down. Often have that "warmed up" taste, and even when fresh, are not tasty. I think they must roast them in water rather than in the near juices.

B. F.

Excellent food, excellent value for money, and may I say excelent and very helpful staff. excellent all round. Can't wait for the Sunday dinners to start again.

P. A.

The food is good, it's not expensive, and all the staff are welcoming and friendly. Generally a great atmosphere all round. In response to Mark Richardson's comment, I doubt the carpet is 30 years old, and in any case I prefer to eat my food off a plate rather than a carpet.

T. P.

This restraunt and pub has ample parking and, if the weather is kind a lovely beer garden. The only down side on the garden is that there are roads on two side so small children must be supervised. This also extends to a large pond in the garden. There are also several tables and seats available in the garden. Inside the decoration is dated but functionable. Staff are extremely helpful and always happy to chat and smile, even when rushed off their feet. The menu is clear and very reasonable. It doesn"t matter if you have the carvery on order from the menu, the food selection is very good as well as varied. Very recently I was there as just one in a party of 12. A good time had by all and not a single complaint or suggestion of a complaint. Looking forward to our next visit.

F. C.

Pretty nice food however the galmon 2as cold, friendly atmosphere

A. F.

This is the second time I have been with my family and the food was great, lovely roast potatoes and the meat was cooked to perfection, The waitress was very polite and willing to help and nothing seemed to much bother, A great place will be going back time and time again. Keep up the good work guys 👍

A.

Great place to eat and drink, really good food. If you like a carvery then the times is the place to come, good service and good food. 👍

J. H.

One of the best roast carverys I have had. Keep it up chef. Staff are brilliant. Very polite and helpful . Will definitely return. Thank you

W. “.

Decor out dated but food is fantastic. Great beer garden

D.

Not bad at all. Love a carvery that allows you to go up multiple times and when the beef melts in your mouth 🙂

A. B.

They do gluten free and I wasnt poisoned!! The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Good option if you want a roast but dont fancy making it yourself!

M. F.

Lovely food etc only thing was not much of salad to help your self to let a lone u had lot of other stuff which was bit expensive

P. C.

Had a brilliant experience food all nice and hot all fresh all courses are multiple times you can replenish your plate with meats as well as veg also the starters are the same and dessert staff really friendly it was really worth our journey from kent to have a meal with friends this is one of those little gems you find only by accident once in a while really cant recommend highly enough x

F. P.

Potatoes were very hard.could not cut them.but service was excellent we were a party of 48 and the waitress done a brilliant job.The sweets were amazing and very generous. Went home full and happy

L. M.

The food was not the best but loverly service and the dessert was amazing

G. P.

Great old fashioned eat as much as you like carvery. Love the place. Staff excellent, food excellent. Will return again and again..😀

D. B.

We always go here when visiting our friends,for Sunday carvery lunch. We've been doing this for at least 12 years now, they live in Maldon and we live in Northamptonshire. We have never had a bad meal and would not want to go anywhere else a fab meal everytime, thank you to all who work at The New Times.

h. s.

We have been in New Times for many years now,very welcoming and very cheap,meals are superb and staff are very friendly and helpful, we enjoy everytime when we are here.

J. A.

Great Carvery. Good honest food and plenty of it. As with most carveries you can go back for more but here that includes the meat as well. Well done New Times.

C. L.

Salad bar is fantastic but personally I felt that the carvery veg was a little dry and sorry looking .. still we had a lovely meal

r. s.

S. M.

We Have Used The New Times For Years The Service is Excellent and Staff are Attentive and Friendly

M. R.

Disappointed staff did not wear masks staff also not very friendly,, ok so not rude. Will return as the food was good, as there was eleven of us the deserts ran out ! No one in my party complained. It was a bit strange that in these times where most pubs complain of lack of business, I felt they didn't want us there.. may be it was just me. But I'm not the only one to review this place in the same manner. To sum up Its glum!!!!

P. B.

Two meals at lunch time for less than a tenner. Good quality very friendly and helpful staff and beautiful garden. Don't forget the carvery

B. W.

Excellent & tasty food. Unfortunately the tables were too close to each other. We could have done with abit more room

L. H.

First time here. No booking. We were made to feel welcome. The starter bar was amazing and the carvery was super. Will be returning x

E. H.

As delicious as it always has been. Very covid conscious. Very safe and the best carvery!

C. Y.

Great food the best carvery for miles plus you can have as much meat as you like and a good selection of real ales . Highly recommended .

B. C.

S. J.

Lovely food & very friendly service. Good value.

r. m.

Was highly recommended and i now see why. Great carvery and excellent friendly service. Will never go back to Tobys again.

T. W.

Really upset when we turned up to find that it was no longer a carvery. We had looked forward to it all day there was quite a bit of choice but all very dry meals mostly with chips. When our food was served the plates were cold and we all left some chips that also turned cold. Please bring back the carvery 6 days a week like it used to be.

R. C.

Very good food at a very reasonable price. Thoroughly recommend the New Times.

E. H.

Upside - Amazing Carvery, service was good. Downside - too hot inside the restaurant -starters buffet is a lot dated - but tasty and fresh

S. C.

Enjoyed the meal very much. But wasn't sure if we would be seated in a half empty restaurant because of timed sittings.

C. F.

Great carvery all you can eat including the meat, definitely better then these Toby carvery where people have all their dirty mits in the food

L. E.

Lovely food 😋 💕 carvery was excellent

P. A.

Absolutely best carvery in Essex go once a month easily

C. S.

Very quiet in restaurant. Very dated. Food was okay

G. B.

Excellent traditional carvery with carvery style starters. The only possible let down is that the beef is a bit fatty but all very nice otherwise

D. A.

Lovely meal at the New Times tonight. Staff friendly, and very attentive . Food excellent Great atmosphere

T. W.

Always good food, and you can have as much as you want of meat etc, the best carvery in essex.

b. p.

Lovely garden with benches, the carvery was quite tasty and you can help yourself to more veg as and when. Friendly family atmosphere set in rural location. Will pop in again when in the area.

R. B.

Nice carvery. Chuffing hot if you sit inside. Doesn't seem to bother a lot of people but I found it uncomfortable

r.

D. W.

Great food and drink. Friendly staff. Nice cosy place.

M. E.

I've been coming here for 10 years now, with what started as family dinners but now happily come for Sunday roasts with my partner too. Over those 10 years the food has been consistently excellent. For the low price that you pay, you receive good quality food, good service and as big servings as you'd like. You can tell it's a local business and run with passion! They also do Christmas (etc.) meals, which include the quaint little touches. I recommend booking a day or more ahead for Sunday's as it can be very popular!

H. F.

Omg the best roast dinner you will ever have!! Our go to place

M.

Food was very well priced, fantastic survive, would book maybe think I was lucky

S. P.

Friendly staff and cosy location. Went on Monday lunchtime so not too busy. The wife had fish pie (which she liked), while I had a tasty, well-filled. minced beef and onion pie - well worth £11 for the two. My brother & sister-in-law are over from Spain for a flying visit in a few weeks, and this is where they suggested we had the obligatory get-together (29 people in total), this time for the Carvery. Should be good.

M. R.

Great carvery nice little pub with outdoor seating and garden,has car park.

A. R.

Lovely lunch , table looking over the gardens .Very pleasant.

K. K.

I have not been to the new times for some years, it is a shame as it was all very old and shabby, it looked like it had not changed since I used to drink in there with my friends in the late nineties, we had the carvery and it was very bland, not a lot of choice in vegetables and what there was seemed to be boiled far to long. The waiting staff was very friendly and good at there job, so waiting staff 🌟🌟🌟🌟 cook/food🌟🌟 building 🌟.
