our Beautiful 

cafe is open:

Monday - Sunday from 8am...

The Hive can be found in Chelmsford Museum’s stunning Victorian House, situated in Oakland’s Park. The café has been built into the house’s original drawing room where the sunshine streams in through floor to ceiling windows throughout the day, allowing for breath-taking views of the surrounding park and Rose Gardens.

The Hive offers an extensive menu with a home-made feel and prides itself on serving fresh, tasty and locally sourced food.
