The Beehive in Chelmsford

Called in on the off-chance. Lovely people. Although they had lost their chef the day before, they were doing their best to make sure everyone was fed. We had ham egg and chips which was very nice. They also had a walking group in, and were expecting a darts team in the evening. I wish them well. They deserve to succeed. 😊

Great pub this......friendly bar staff. The Guinness is 10 out of 10. Will be back soon.

Horrible place horrible barmen. He didn’t open football match because he said tv channels change it only from boss room .😂Rubbish bar.

Very friendly and comfortable pub

A proper pub , nice staff , tasty food , a decent pint of Spitfire , friendly clientele with lots of chat and laughter. Raised my mood so I'm sure when I'm next in the area I will be happy to return. Recommended 👍.

Needs a revamp, looks tired. Barman was happy, Not many people in though, so no atmosphere.

Quick drop off (and detour) while trudging the Essex Way. Great welcome from both the landlord and the locals. Great service and beer, nice atmosphere. And a grateful goodbye. Thanks for letting me stop by. ps Great Waltham seems a nice place to visit for a look-round and wander.

Not a bad place soon they are going to start serving food

Since Frankie and Ryan have taken over this is beeping a great place to be once again

Lovely friendly pub for our break time from rambling walk Nice chips......

Over 50yrs ago this was my local! I heard good reports & decided to visit for lunch with a friend. It was very quiet but we had a great lunch & had the chance to talk to the chef who was lovely & very accommodating with her understanding of customer's needs. The Beehive deserves more patronage & I hope reviews will encourage more punters. We will certainly be returning.

The Beehive has recently changed hands, I've eaten there twice now and really enjoyed the freshly made food at a good price. The pie was so big I couldn't eat all of it. It's still fairly quiet so lacks a little in atmosphere at the moment. I shall be returning.

Mediocre English pub, with typical poor food standards of the ilk.

Great food and amazing service. Very nice local pub

Really nice pub, friendly new staff as recently taken over, came in on the off chance as driving through and wasn't disappointed! Me and my partner both had the roast dinners and I had a fudge cake for dessert, was really lovely and we will definitely be coming here again.

Much improved venue. In the last couple of years this pub has changed and the interior is now more welcoming and comfortable. Worth a visit. I would still change the lighting in the lounge bar to a softer colour.

Cold, no heating had run out of oil. Ok but two members of party had over cooked lasagne. Ample helpings of Sunday lunch though.

Under new management, lots of new things coming including food and quizzes, nice atmosphere.

This place deserves to do well. Always has nice atmosphere and range of options and the food is great

Fantastic roast dinner . Highly recommend .

Fantastic place , highly recommended

Nice pub, we sat in the garden & had our dronks.

Great roast. Huge yorkshire and overall portion and very tasty. Staff friendly and nice garden. Definitely recommend

Nice food, really good prices, friendly service.

good food friendly staff all good

Great pub. Two areas, one bar with TV for sports, as well as darts board and pool table. Other area is a restaurant. Nice food available, Sunday roast is very good. Music is also played with song requests. Usually a decent atmosphere and a nice pub to go in small groups.

Only popped in for a quick drink with my two daughters, after visiting Walthan to view a car. Seemed a very friendly little village pub, and I would definitely visit again.

Previous welcoming landlord has gone, uncertain opening times have returned. Twice walked in here recently and was unwelcome. Closed on Mondays, i guess, apparently. Was also treated indifferently on a sunday at 9 pm- despite doors being open i was told they were closing- despite people being in the pub. They could have said "we are closing soon so if you want a drink its 10-15 mins" etc but no. For a pub essentially in the middle of nowhere, with at least 4 other pubs close, i give them a few months. The pool table and the fruit machine have disappeared, apparently to create a restaurant that no one will be interested in- with the Galvin Green Man close. Now run by a couple who seem to have little idea of customer service, on a previous occasion where i was actually served i witnessed the landlord have to run to the shop to buy some lemonade when some customer bought a jd or whatever it was and lemonade, he didnt even tell the customer who was like, wheres me drink? Hopeless.

An OK typical pub, no complaints at all.

Really lovely place, really nice landlord he can't do enough for you. Highly recommended.

Always good quality food drink & service.

We only came in here for lunch and we didn't get any service in here so we left

We went here today as a party of 8 including a young baby. It is a lovely pub with a varied menu which was reasonably priced. We spent just over 100 pound including the alcohol. The staff were very accommodating to the baby and the pub is dog friendly too! It has a real fire,epic sound track, and we sat in the restraunt end that was cosy but with a real atmosphere in the main bar. We will be back.

Great place to go . Great food and always made to feel welcome

Fantastic food, Lovely beer, friendly, caring and helpful staff.

A great village pub, great value and beautiful village it's in

Because your staff are rude on their phones one side children only but no heating in the winter no t.v no child facilities for entertainment inside food disgusting seen thicker tea then your gravy took ages to cook sausages frozen (oven) very dry chips cooked from frozen very not child friendly "pub" would rather go to the rose and crown lovely homemade food great welcoming friendly maybe you should take some tips from them and you might have some customers beer garden what a joke!!!

Great food, highly recommended the apple crumble!

Chef absent but Kevin cooked a very good lunch - mixed grill and lasagne. Always Abbot on tap which keeps me happy. Very quiet but advantage is No LOUD MUSIC. Visit was mid week in early March. Prices more than competitive for the area.

Friendly staff good food will go again

Came here for Sunday lunch, good quality food, friendly staff and good pricing. Will be returning

Very welcoming and wonderful food,atmosphere and people

Pleasant pub, friendly staff, and the big advantage of a bouncy castle to keep my son occupied for a while!

Excellent local pub with good food

Nice pub, nice staff. Just had to wait very long for our food.

Great place to be wether your chilling and having a meal or on a evening for a great night out

Local pub at the village centre with friendly, welcoming bar staff. Great views on the church and a good place to sit outside in the summer and watch the world go by. Perfectly placed as a stop-off for cyclists and ramblers. Bar snacks, Green King and San Miguel awaits.
