About Us
A family-run business in the heart of Holland-on-Sea, established in 1997. With the support of the local people of Holland-on-Sea from the day we opened, we are pleased to still be serving the community and visitors.
With over 20 years of experience in the catering industry, we always do our utmost to ensure that our customers feel part of the family. Our friendly staff aim to provide attentive dining service and satisfaction throughout their experience.
Our intentions are to create a tea room which we can enjoy; an environment that is for both its food and design, but one that has a personality and identity.
With bespoke dining in the restaurant and private hire facilities, or a choice of outside catering, Grandma Lilly’s is a destination venue for all occasions and events.
Named after our beloved Mother and Grandma, Lillian who had a love of cooking. We liaise our dishes and recipes back to her favourite choices and preferences.
