The Beehive in Colchester

Afternoon Tea Advised of severe nut allergy at point of booking. Served coffee and walnut cake !!! Waiter took it away and said its only touching a couple of other slices. Brought back 2 plates, one with the coffee & walnut cake and another without and proceeded to place both back on the table ! Severe nut allergy means severe nut allergy !!! Cakes were shop bought and not fresh, one small scone each, brown bread sandwiches stale. The pot of tea was lovely and the highlight

Lovely staff, very polite and helpful, but wrong meal arrived, my husband had finished his by the time the correct meal arrived. The hot meal was served on a cold plate and the food was not thoroughly heated. Not an enjoyable meal or experience. We were offered 1 x complimentary drink to compensate. :(

he sido regularmente usando este restaurante / cafetería durante muchos años y nunca hemos tenido ningún problema con ello. Hay una gran variedad de tamaños de mesa, así que si estás cenar solos o con amigos usualmente hay un sitio apropiado para sentarse. Como es un internet café hay obviamente ordenadores junto a una pared para aquellos que desean navegar por la red.

Excellent Sunday roast. Landlady very friendly. Good service and nice decor. This pub has certainly had its problems over the past couple of years but it is now certainly on the up.

The food was amazing and with one person in our party being gluten intolerant they went above and beyond to accommodate her dietary requirements. The waiter we had was so attentive with a refreshing sense of humour. We will definitely come back again! The only negative I can say is that we were one of two tables so the atmosphere was subdued but the food and especially the service was outstanding.
