The Bee Hive, Geeat Waltham in Chelmsford

Really good Italian food with a real home-cooked feel I recommend their pasta dishes, which I think they excel at. The pizzas are great but I think their pasta dishes are just a notch above! On my third visit to this restaurant on business, I went for the penne with chicken and cream. Really good, flavoursome and satisfying, just as a good pasta dish should be! I have also enjoyed and recommend the salmon spaghetti dish and any pizza. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. It feels like a family restaurant (which I think it is?)

Our first visit was on the 23rd January we had a lovely lunch the food was amazing our server was called naz she was so helpful so friendly nothing was too much for her , we loved the layout and the decor it was just a lovely experience looking forward to coming back x

Visited lunch time on Thursday to take advantage of the fixed price lunch menu, which whilst limited, offers good value. Kasia our waitress was very attentive, friendly and could not fault her. At 12:30 we were the first and only customers in there. One other person dining solo followed at 1ish and then one more table of two by the time we left so it was quiet and slightly detracted from the ambiance. The food was very good on the whole but one of the two steaks was quite tough, which was a shame but it’s just luck of the draw. I would happily return but the house red was very sub-par and I would not be drinking that again.

Peter, sorry to read that writing and publishing several 5 star reviews about yourself on Trip Advisor didn’t work out well for you. Better luck next time chap.

Stopped at this newly refurbed KFC Broomfield rd in the hope that it might have improved.....how wrong we were! first none of the automated card only machines for ordering were working and counter cash only. after finally managing to pay, food arrived, once home with takeaway found that one portion of chips was missing (not unusual) and that the vegan burger was completely rock solid and inedible and can only assume that it was reheated from earlier, was not worth the effort to drive back to complain but will definitely not be using this branch again. best option close it down and use the more professional and polite branch at Springfield.
