The Steam Pump Tea Room

Just back from the loveliest time! The Steam Pump Tea Rooms are in such a beautiful setting. My friend and I sat outside, where I had a delicious cooked veggie breakfast and coffee. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her American pancakes. Later, I had a slice of the Victoria sponge made by Sam, the owner/manager. The piece was huge - but so light, I managed it all! Yummy! Sam is so friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. Highly recommended.

Wow, what a find! We were making the most of a mild autumn day outside when we stumbled across The Steam Pump Tea Room. The tea room is conveniently located alongside the museum in the former Langford Pumping Station, and the building has been beautifully restored to serve these new purposes. The homemade Victoria sponge was delicious (and a huge slice!), and the Terry's Chocolate Orange hot chocolate was out of this world and something I've never seen offered in any other cafe! Thank you for making our day, Sam and team!

Had a post lockdown full English breakfast outside on the spacious terrace of this quirky building set in landscaped grounds of the Museum of Power on the way in to Maldon from Hatfield Peverel. Breakfast well cooked with good quality ingredients, nicely presented and served by friendly staff. Plenty of parking, the opportunity to visit the museum or just stroll around the gardens or to venture a little further to see Beeleigh Falls. Highly recommended.
