The Beehive Tearooms - Rochford

This restaurant offers a wonderful selection of traditional dishes that will transport you back in time. The food is delicious and we frequent this place often for breakfast. It is definitely worth a visit for either breakfast or lunch.

We actually went into town for a coffee in another cafe which doesn’t seem to open Mondays. So we gave this cafe a whirl. Very glad we did. My husband and friend were tempted by a bacon sandwich. Very enjoyable. Staff lovely and friendly. We will be back.

I have visited this restaurant several times for breakfast and can honestly say that their full English breakfast is fabulous and great value for money. However, the main drawback for me is the poor ventilation, which was so bad that I had to go home, shower, and wash my hair afterwards. We tried sitting as far away from the kitchen area as possible, but unfortunately, the smell still clung to everything. I would be willing to pay a little more if they invested in a better extraction system.

This is a long established cafe with loyal customers but as a reasonably new customer although the service is good there is a major problem as you come our smelling of smokey cooking smells due to a distinct lack of extract from the kitchen area If this could be improved it could be a very nice traditional cafe but until this has been rectified I will not return and can’t recommend it

We frequent this cafe often and have always received great service and delicious food. However, during our recent visit, we ordered two meals that included sausages but after waiting for 20 minutes, we were informed that they had run out of sausages. A staff member brought in a few sausages from the butchers, but we decided not to wait any longer. We paid for our drinks and left. The staff members on duty were unfamiliar to us and did not seem to be concerned about the situation.
