Queen Bee’s Tearoom — Restaurant in England

Wanted to take my wife somewhere fancy when we got to Shoeburyness (her B-day). When I googled it there wasn't many places that offered a great atmosphere to dine in.

Also I liked the music that was playing!

Only criticism I have is there was nowhere to change my baby but the toilet is tiny so not sure how they could physically...

My mum and I went for the most beautiful Christmas afternoon tea, and what a treat we had. We had a choice of 2 fillings each in our sandwiches (so very special to have all fillings that we actually love). The scones were beautifully fresh, homemade, and so special being warm. The cakes were all homemade and just wowser - my favourite was the chocolate Terry's Orange cake, but the fruit cake was a very close second. Wonderfully friendly, warm, and attentive service. For us, the Tearoom was...
