Reviews in Houghton-le-Spring

From walking through the door we were impressed. Fabulous staff greeted us and checked and chatted throughout our visit. I was torn between the ravioli and the tacos, and with some help chose the ravioli. Omg it did not disappoint, it was delicious and a good size portion. My husband had the sizzler and it was amazing, spicy, tasty and more than enough. The food was everything I’d read about, fresh, huge portions, tasty but the staff were even better, what a great team! Our first visit but we’re already talking about when we come back x

An exceptional pub with an excellent food menu. The food is reasonably priced and huge portions. The team are friendly and always happy to help!

Really enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious and staff were excellent, so very friendly. Will certainly be back

This was our second visit in as many months and were excited to bring my parents along as our first meal here was amazing. Unfortunately our second visit on Sunday was disappointing. We ordered four Sunday lunches, turkey, pork belly and 2 beef dinners. All the meals that came were just say warm, some plates had vegetables missing where others had them. The beef was most disappointing, it was grey in colour and had no taste. We had to ask for another slice of beef as one member of our party had more slices on their plate compared to the other person who had less. The pork belly and Turkey however, were beautiful but just left feeling a little flat as the dinners as a whole lacked a flavour and certainly temperature compared to our first visit. Staff however, were apologetic when we complained. We will visit again as sometimes if places are busy etc it may just be a one off. Hoping that can be rectified on our next visit

First time trying this place after hearing all the good feedback from people and I can honestly say I wasn’t disappointed. The food was amazing and plentiful, the service was quick and professional the prices not bad highly recommended and will definitely be back

Went with my two sons to celebrate 1 of their birthdays. We enjoyed ourselves. Great food, great friendly staff, great price. We weren't disappointed at all and we'll be back again very soon. There literally is nothing negative I can say about the beehive.

We visited on Monday, as a family of four, after seeing posts of Facebook. From arriving, the staff were great. Really friendly and attentive, never left too long between courses or when needing drinks. There was a great choice of food, and the food was amazing. The best meal we have had in a pub for a long time. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Amazing food and amazing staff who work really hard 10/10

We visited for my dad's birthday. The staff were absolutely amazing and very helpful and friendly. They treated my 4 year old little girl amazingly and went out of there way to accommodate her needs and gor the meals as she has several allergies. The meals were the best that all 8 of us have ever had, they were large meals and very tasty. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Anyone that has not already visited are missing out.

Friendly staff , food was average and more expensive than similar places we have visited. Glad we tried it but wouldn’t rush to go back

Absolutely gorgeous food !! Worth the little ride out i would recommend 100% lovely friendly staff very welcoming , service was fantastic too

As always; great food, great service all at a decent price.

Absolutely fantastic, we have only been twice and the food is fantastic, staff are really happy and helpful, only one negative is that the lamb shank is quite expensive om the Sunday lunch menu, we have previously been to the prospect and their lamb shank dinner was a lot cheaper. Other than that absolutely brilliant
