"Have been visiting Bagel Queen for bagels for a number of years, the bagels are always really nice, reasonable prices for the quantity of filling you get in the bagel. Plenty of different fillings to choose from including salt beef (with optional pickle and mustard) and BBQ beef brisket which are two of my favourites. Highly recommend if you are ever passing through on the A131 towards Chelmsford."

"We drive past this food truck all the time and finally decided to stop one day — and I’m so glad we did! The bagels are absolutely amazing!! Packed full of flavour and stuffed right to the brim with fillings. There’s a great range of options, and I already know I’ll be back to try more (especially after seeing those desserts!). Highly recommend this lovely food truck, run by an equally lovely lady. Thank you, Bagel Queen!"

"What a find! If you’re anywhere near Chelmsford, this little bagel food truck on the outskirts is 100% worth the stop. The bagels were fresh, loaded with flavour and made to order, proper quality street food. Me and my wife loved them. The lady (queen ) serving was so friendly and welcoming, which just makes the whole experience even better. Perfect little stop-off for breakfast or lunch in Chelmsford, and the homemade Mars Bar Biscoff brownie… wow. Yes, you read that right. Unreal. If you’re looking for great bagels near Chelmsford or a cool independent food truck, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!"

"I've been going regularly to The Bagel Queen since spotting the van on the A131 pitch.....everything is made fresh to order, there's a little wait but so worth it!! Many different options stacked full with fillings including her famous salt beef!! You can also personalise what you want in your bagel and caters for gluten free too!! She makes unique sweet treats with love and passion which are jumbo sized and very popular!! You can pre order via phone if in a hurry or to snap up the amazing sweet treats as they sell out fast!! She is super friendly and nothing is too much trouble, we have some great chats whilst she is preparing my orders!! I plan my weeks just to make sure I can visit and get my Bagel Queen fix!! You can hire her for events etc"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding bagel van! The salt beef bagel is hands down the best I’ve ever had – piled high with tender, flavour-packed meat and perfectly balanced with fresh accompaniments, all in a beautifully chewy bagel. It’s the kind of thing you keep thinking about long after you’ve finished eating. And don’t even think about skipping dessert – they’re just as impressive. Every sweet treat I’ve tried has been fresh, indulgent, and utterly delicious. Friendly service, great value, and food that seriously delivers. If you see this van, do yourself a favour and get in the queue!"
