Well worth a visit the grandkids loved it and it was extra lovely as they were with grandad and his mum nanny elaine who use to take him to visit 40 odd years ago xxxx
Lovely museum, larger and covered more than I expected. The staff and volunteers were so helpful, would definitely recommend :)
Good service, good food....
Menus need replacing - they are like pieces of scrap paper now and are what was used during pandemic
Eating area was very messy and grubby - a lot of tables uncleared .
Pity because we enjoy the place but on this occasion - a return to our former home - it was not great.
Lovely here food was excellent. Very busy little place.but well worth the wait.
Really good cafe. Prices are really good here and the food and drink was amazing. Lovely and fresh handmade sandwiches but there were plenty of full meals available all day. Good options for drinks, including syrups and alternative milks. You can also order from your table and have it brought to you. The staff we met were bubbly and friendly. A little hidden gem that we had wished we had known about before.
Wow,thanks for the excellent service and quality of the food, it was so scrummy. 👌 The staff were very accommodating and friendly too. Pleasant surroundings were to be enjoyed as we dined on our various dishes, which did not cost the earth to enjoy.
Well recommended and we will revisit at some point soon.
Nice atmosphere,lovely food, service a little slow but it was a busy day. Needs better provision of toilets and access to it.
This is likely because it is part of the museum and is an old building. Lively grounds.
My daughter and myself (sometimes husband) visit on a regular basis. All the staff are very friendly and helpful, have never had a problem. Food is always exceptional and inexpensive. Took our son, daughter-in-law and 3 boys for lunch (they visited from Peterborough), they thoroughly enjoyed it. It also gave the boys a chance to have fun in the grounds.
lovely building in the middle of a park, visit when you are able to take in the environment and not in a rush. Honest food at a reasonable price. definitely worth a visit 👍🏻

What a find. Was looking for a cafe close to home but in a nice area, and thought we'd try this out. Never knew it existed, but so glad we took the chance to try it out. Food was excellent, and the cafe is a pleasant welcoming place with friendly attentive staff. Inside the park area, with lovely big windows letting in lots of light and giving nice views across the gardens and park. Reasonably priced as well which is a bonus!! Will be back.
They have decent breakfast and good coffee. The surrounding atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. Free parking for 2 hours in Chelmsford Museum.
When travelling, I use Google Maps to find the best place for breakfast. Absolutely came up trumps with The Hive. An excellent café in the lovely surroundings of the Chelmsford Museum in the park. Opens early on a Sunday too
