The Bees Country Kitchen in Chorley

Lovely café providing meals made with locally sourced produce. Visited twice now & the staff are lovely and attentive. You wait for service as everything is made fresh, but it's certainly worth it. There's also a local produce shop on site, which includes items made in the cafe & all local suppliers are listed on the menu board which is a lovely touch.

First time here. Very friendly, chatty host & a lovely setting. I went for the The Full Chorley breakfast & 'Mrs P' had the Avocado & bacon on toast. Food was piping hot & extremely tasty (Mrs P ate it all...a rarity trust me!). Quite a lengthy wait from ordering but then it was all cooked fresh & you could certainly taste that. Definitely be going again at some point. Well worth a visit we'd say. 👍

Excellent food. Lovely atmosphere. Great friendly staff. Will definitely be going back. I can highly recommend the afternoon tea and ploughman's.

I love this place so much. The food is great, the staff are fantastic. The little shop in the corner is always stocked with lovely items.

Went for a takeaway lunch, After reading such great reviews, we were a little disappointed. The leek and potato soup had absolutely no seasoning, not a fan of the course texture either, the chunk of bread has been left out so one side was stale. we ordered an egg mayo ciabatta, the ciabatta was not very fresh, the steak Canadienne was also not seasoned, the chips were good but a very small portion and it was supposed to come with salad but this was missing, I requested no onions on the steak canadienne but didn't say no salad! Such a shame.

Delicious food. Although don't come in a rush because they cook everything at the moment, so you would wait. The chefs are very kind, but not much the person at the till.

Great eatery, locally sourced ingredients and service with a smile 😁 Take home teas available and outside catering as well.

Definitely worth a visit , I will be returning

The business I work for wanted to host a lunch for our monthly company day and I’m so glad I found this place. Sarah and her team made it so easy for me to organise lunch for such a large group of people, despite date and number changes. The photos don’t do the food justice; Long gone are the days of stale sandwiches and a few crisps, everything was homemade at their kitchen and you could tell everything they did was made with such care and thought. They accommodated for nut allergies and even provided equipment so that the food stayed hot all day. I cannot recommend this whole experience enough from start to finish they were excellent and all the staff at our company absolutely loved the food. I’ll 100% be heading into their kitchen in the town centre soon. Thank you so much Sarah and team 😊

Proper service with a smile. Great, freshly made, locally sourced food. A must for lunch or breakfast.

First visit, great food nicely cooked and reasonable prices.

5 STAR Extremely impressed with the quality and value,,,,, the staff have been perfect. Superb quality cafe which has to be one of the best in the UK.

Must rate as the worst food I have been served a number of the chips were hard inside salad had some brown on the lettuce the fish fingers were actually gouchons.

Everyone local to here should pop by and try their amazing home cooked food.

As seen on Food Network's "Adam Richman Eats Britain". Our first visit to this lovely café and deli. I had the Chorley chips, they were topped with pan fried sausage, gravy, grated cheese, chopped spring onions and crispy onions. At £9 it was a good portion. My Mum had the Home made Pâté platter. We each had a cup of tea. Afternoon teas are available and the menu changes daily and seasonally. Vegetarian and vegan choices are available. Very child and animal friendly. Reasonable prices and great food. Eat in or takeaway available. I will be coming back to sample other items on the menu.

First time here and gotta say it was nice. Few things for me that let it down. I had a roast beef sandwich and gravey the roast beef was cold beef and would have preferred hot . Didn't didn't think to ask but if I asked for gravey maybe they should ask if I wanted hot or cold. Sandwich was served with crisp which where lovley. Hubby had hot pot and he enjoyed it. Would go again. Staff lovley one very loud one bit lovely all the same.

Great roast dinner mid week, good choice of healthy meals, cheerful staff, gets busy so can be a long wait.

Sat waiting for 10 minutes and the only thing I was told to do was move because I was in a "reserved spot", which there was no indication of when i walked in. Nobody came to serve me. Nobody came to seat me. The menu was very hard to read. I never actually figured out what the options were because it is so poorly formatted on the page. I was about to get up and just order myself at the counter, but then I realised I could just get up and walk to literally any other cafe in chorley and get better service. So I did.

Out and about in Chorley trying pubs. Oddly none of the pubs seem to serve hot food so Flatima suggested this cafe. Good choice for home cooked food at a very good price. Had a chick pea tagine and also a corn beef hash. Both with coffee. £20.50. Lovely room seats about 60. Afternoon teas look a bargain. Order at counter. Seems to be part of a Community Centre. It is not haute cuisine.

Really nice independent cafe, always popular. The food etc is fab & we've been a few times. The staff are super friendly.

A lovely cafe to enjoy an afternoon drink and cake. The fruit loaf is delicious. They also do very good lunch.

Took my parents here today. Food fabulous and the welcome was so very friendly. Highly recommend the Root Veg hot pot.. Thank you, Bees Kitchen. We will be back.

Nice & welcoming, pleasant decor, good selection of food and drinks.

Lovely place to have an afternoon tea with friends. Great place to bring children too. There are many cushions to seat on and is looking really cosy. Is pet friendly too

Great food and warm welcoming atmosphere. Eat in or take away. Catering also available Moved to Primrose gardens fleet street.

Love the atmosphere here. Also a good selection of local produce to buy and take home. Food is good. People are great x

Great place, the staff are really friendly and patient, nothing seems to be a problem. Greeting regular customers by name and making everyone welcome. Good food, good value.

Lovely warm atmosphere. Delicious food and very polite staff xx 😘

Bees Kitchen is a wonderfully atmospheric cafe on Fleet Street. It’s a hidden gem near ‘Big Lamp’. We stopped by today with our granddaughter for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful.. We ordered sausage and bacon toasties and mugs of hot chocolate. All were freshly prepared and delicious. They were served with a smile. We will certainly be back. Thank you.

Went this morning with my little boy, friend and her little boy, the cafe is so lovely and cosy. The staff are sooo welcoming and super friendly!! Food was yummy my 15 month old was very happy with his Chorley breakfast :) can’t wait to come back. Man behind the counter was just the happiest loveliest man, he knew all the locals by their names he was just ace! Can’t wait to come back thanks guys! Xx

A quite lovely place. Great coffee and food, a warm and friendly atmosphere and well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Had the pensioners special hotpot followed by a scone and tea. Great value for money and delicious😋😋😋 Wonderful cheerful service as well. Would highly recommend

Great for vegans, amazing desserts!

Not impressed at all. They opened 40 minutes later that the opening time on line. The cups were tea stained. The breakfast was not great at all. It might be to some people's s taste, but unfortunately not mine. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the overall experience was disappointing.

Not eaten here but serves really nice coffee, including decaffeinated, & also has non dairy milk

Fantastic service, value and quality again from Bee's. Supported a work event with hot food, drinks and cakes for 20 plus people.

What a fantastic place food gorgeous the staff so friendly and helpful definitely be calling again would recommend anyone to visit top class

Great café very friendly and comfortable Fantastic fresh food

Lovely homemade food. The decor is homely and is the type of set up you would find by the sea or the Cotswolds. I love that, this place is a real cafe no people sat on laptops trying to order double espresso. They have a wide menu selection. They also offer a service of meals you can take home to freeze, which I can imagine is a lifeline for the local elderly residents or people who aren't great in the kitchen. Very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back.

Had the Delux Afternoon Tea delivered yesterday was excellent, fresh and tasty thank you so much Bees really enjoyed it xx

Delicious Jamaican style rice salad for lunch. Great food for kids too. Well done.

Friendly staff, and a great choice of hot and cold food.

Order a buffet for a 30th birthday party for 25 people. Delivered on the day well before the party. Fantastic food with some great options. Went down really well. Will recommend and use again!

Excellent food and service. We have already been back and will doubtless visit again.

U go in to get a £15 voucher for a birthday and there is no one in the shop that can deal with this request coz they have no vouchers!! Money lost and very unprofessional 😠

Great eatery in Chorley for dine in and take away. I’ve had lunch here multiple times and have ordered collection orders of bees easy teas and their afternoon tea multiple times. Food has always been spot on, freshly prepared and excellent value for money. The afternoon tea was enough to do two meals each easy and the easy teas always offer plenty of variety and are a great time saver for the week. Super tasty and great portion sizes. The staff are super friendly, they can’t do enough for you. I use weekly and will continue to do so. Highly recommend.

Excellent choice of food for breakfast, lunch, snacks etc or you can just have a drink. All at sensible prices and well presented . It’s popularity has risen recently and the place is now often very full at peak periods which I’ve found has resulted in slightly longer than normal waiting times. Friendly staff who seem to work well under pressure. I’ve never been disappointed with this place. They deserve to do well and it’s certainly worth a visit.

The new place is very Friendly and there is plenty of choice on menu

Great food Great atmosphere Really friendly staff. What else do you need.

We had 4 vegan cakes to take away; large fruit cookie, two Chorley cakes and a biscof cronut. Great to have a vegan Chorley cake and all other treats nice too!

After seeing such good reviews I thought I would try their food, rather than bring my own picnic for the event at Astley Park today. We tried the corned beef hash (hot pot) and the vegetable chilli (not a chilli but a veg hot pot, no spices - very disappointed!) and it was very bland. Very little flavour/seasoning in either. The staff were friendly and helpful but the food was very disappointing.

Go as often as l can...friendly..food great..

Had a very good lunch at Bees Country Kitchen today. First visit to their new cafe at Primrose Gardens in Chorley. We had the salmon fish cakes with fries and delicious tartare sauce, all so tasty. They have made the place warm, welcoming and cozy and the staff are a delight, and the deli section is fab. Highly recommend, will be back again soon.

First time in Bees Country Kitchen, the service was excellent, the Corned Beef hash was delicious and the Eton mess cheesecake was to die for, definitely worth a second visit and the staff were very helpful and friendly 😊

Reasonably priced, wholesome food. Limited choice for vegetarians.

My go to cafe in chorley Being a bee person (Deborah is Hebrew for bee)x

A beautiful place to have lunch and chat with friends in wonderful surroundings. The food and staff are amazing and the owner is just so lovely and warm. I would recommend this cafe to everyone.

Friendly Helpful Staff, Cosy Relaxed Atmosphere, Fresh Tasty Food At Very Responsible Price's Definitely Recommend

Been to Bees since they started in the market. Food is always excellent, and the new restaurant is fab. Well worth a visit when you're in Chorley.

Lovely service,nice atmosphere,

Had afternoon tea. It was really lovely. I would highly recommend.

Great coffee, excellent food, and lovely friendly service.

Came In to this lovely place today out of the freezing cold in to a warm welcoming atmosphere, great food. I had the Spanish pork with rice and my friend had soup of the day. Food was 10/10. The staff was very nice and easy to to have a chat with. Great vibes and will be sure to come back when next in town. 👍🏻

Wonderful to see you all again Food and service brilliant Thank you all Happy and healthy New year to all xxx

Excellent service, food and atmosphere

Chorley egg is my favourite! If I could eat 2 I would.

Lovely place for lunch or coffee. Definitely worth a stop and if you don’t have much time you can take away. Great cafe - we’re lucky to have it right here in Chorley.

Excellent meal. Tasty, different and healthy.First time we came had a pumpkin soup, tasty mixed salad (including greens, Edamame beans, olives, rice and teriyaki chicken) rocky road cake and spiced pumpkin latte (pushed the boat out as it was a special occasion, but you can have as much or as little as you like, e.g. toasted fruitbread.) Second time, Caeser salad. Delicious. Beautiful, well thought out decor and a restful, positive vibe. You just keep on spotting things (blankets are available). Varied menu which also caters well for those with alternative choices and needs. We had just come back from holiday and the Bees' kitchen helped us continue in that mood. Impressed by the relatively short menu being supplemented by a specials list. The Bees' kitchen has a good eye for using themes, such as special meals for special occasion. Also an impressive range of things to buy, some of which are made there. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be going again and can see it fast becoming one of our favourite places

Visited today first and last time we arrived at 930 and for a good hour the only ones there waitress was nice helpful and friendly lacking a little music so atmosphere was non existent filter coffee was mediocre flat white was a bit better, full breakfast was OK but quite greasy and either cut the rind off the bacon or cook it properly, the cutlery was very cheap actually hurt your hands when using and could easily be bent the husband and wife owners came into the dining room but completely ignored us every time a couple of times passing our table with not even a good morning thankfully Chorley now has many many good and better eating establishments

I regularly call in at The Bees with my three boys after school for some hearty, tasty food and it's always served with a smile and friendly service :) Highly recommended!

Really good, freshly made food. Always love it here!

Fabulous place, great take out & delivery options too. Very friendly couple who run it, a must when in chorley!

I bought the Tuscan Bean soup mix. At £3.50 I thought it was a little expensive. But no. It was worth every penny!! I added some vegetables of my own and the next day ( there was so much ) some sausage. Absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to try some others. Thank you.

Not over impressed and the coffee was poor.

My sister and I went the other week ,no other customers only us,ordered coffee an tea an bacon barms ,food cold on sesame seed buns ,not barms ,coffee cold was returned and pinged in the microwave ,still cold .young girls attitude was horrid ,won't be eating there again ,I like my food and drink hot

Excellent homemade tasty food, nice people and never had a problem, highly recommended for everyone around chorley.

We’ve been coming to bees since we moved to Chorley. Great food, I’m always tempted by street food Saturday, and usually leave with a couple of Chorley eggs. Always a warm welcome and amazing variety

This I'd a total game changer and little star feeding the community healthy hearty delushious food and always with a smell and a lively exchange. Thankyou guys!

Sorry can't share a photo it was too yummy! Fish finger sandwich ,home cooked chips and a little side salad to takeaway. Tbh it wasn't on the menu that particular day but I had spied it on passing during the week - so I tried my luck! It was Good Friday and they had loads of fish specials (Squid rings n chips for example, - not for me). Anyway they were happy to fulfill my craving, so if you reading this cheers!

Fantastic little place and the food is excellent. Have ordered food for home and will definitely be back and definitely recommend!

Lovely little place, food under cover ( outdoor market) nice and cheap, would use again

Great food at a great price also Top notch customer service . Thoroughly recommend a visit here

Great little find. They cater for vegans, my husband recommends the vegan scotch egg and tomato and lentil soup. Took away a cobb salad, well worth the money.

Had the so called street food, exactly that... looked like and tasted like it had been scooped off the pavement via the toilet floor!!

Brilliant street food, helpful staff, well worth a visit.

Short but thoughtful menu, great quality, decent price and nice staff.

Best all round eatery in Chorley for me. I come here as often as possible in a morning after the gym for a high protein healthy breakfast. Which they kindly custom make to my dietary requirements & wishes. The ingredients are top notch, prepared with passion and skill at a fair price. To top it off every member of staff I've met at this family run business are truly delightful human beings! This business and it's good folk are a credit to the Chorley community. Can't praise them enough. Many thanks, Dan

Had a fabulous Mexican feast last night. Delicious and made with only the finest local produce. Delivered to my home. Fantastic service. Thank you so much xx

Had the Mexican meal last night.. Absolutely delicious...every time

I had a Greek salad it was delicious👍

Really nice food and wide choice including breakfast menu until 1130. I went 8/7/20 and saw that they had a small seating area with hand sanitizer and were offering delivery. Staff were friendly to, a great spot for convenient home cooked dinner.

Great food, especially for those who need to eat a bit healthier.

The food here is exquisite. Truly unique in style and make-up, hand prepared and served with a local smile. Their dishes are well put together and their deserts are simply divine. I recommend the white chocolate rocky road, I've never tasted something so wonderfully enriched with a mouth watering mix of textures, sugars and bite encapsulated in one large, indulgent treat!

Freshly made food and hot drinks brought to the table by good friendly staff. Made a special occasion need more special.

My partner and I are real foodies and always look for the best places to eat at when we travel. Bee's Country Kitchen delivers some of the most delicious, nutritious, home-cooked style meals I have eaten - anywhere in the world. How they do it for such a reasonable price I'll never know, but the standard of food on offer at this place is truly exceptional. There's no better place to visit if you're in the local area, they are peerless. An absolute gem.

Love!!! Great brew, Saturday street food is ace, cakes are yum, Chorley Eggs (meat and vegan) are mint and their Easy Teas are wonderful. Great for vegans too. YES THE BEES!!! Nailing it!!!

Stunning all home made food ...carnt wait to put my crimbo order in for the pattie...stunning place great staff..

Great food, good selection of home cooked meals, stews, and various other offerings! Not the cheapest but it is quite nice!

I've been coming here for quite a while and I have never been disappointed, everything is fresh and homemade and you can tell the owners love what they are doing.

Came here on recommendation as my family are vegetarians, Ordered our food and then sat down to eat our food. Whilst sat we observed another customer proceed to get served. The man was cutting meat, when she asked for her food she did mention that she was vegetarian, the meat was pushed to a side and and he wiped his hands on his apron and started to serve her, didn't was his hands even. You could see from her face that she wasn't happy but still she paid for it and sat down, after seeing this my family and myself left our food and left. When walking away we noticed that there where trays of uncovered bread behind his market stall. I don't think this is very hygienic.The guy who served us also has a large beard which was not covered, I'm not an expert but shouldn't this have a net on it. Very disappointed. Will certainly not be eating here again. Vegetarians be Aware. Was unsure whether to post but I think it should be mentioned
