Visited last night party of 5 for a birthday celebration, plenty of choice on the menu and fresh delicious food. Whilst we were there the pub unfortunately had a power cut, staff couldn’t have been more apologetic and came round with tea lights so we weren’t in total darkness. Will definitely be returning.
The Beehive – Houghton-le-SpringExcellent food and service
The Beehive – Houghton-le-SpringMy wife and I are regular customers at your pub and we love the food however on 12/01/25 we booked a table for 3 and I’m not sure if the normal chef wasn’t working or you’ve acquired a new chef but the lunch wasn’t as nice as it usually is. The gravy was so so salty so much so the my granddaughter and my wife left most of theirs due to this. Both my wife and I noticed the beef wasn’t the same it was so thinly sliced it didn’t taste or seem like real beef from a joint. I ate the most and have suffered bad heartburn since and I’m blaming the salty gravy. My wife would have complained but yous were that busy she didn’t like. The guy who served us brought 3 pints of orange & soda when we asked for halves and it was like drinking soda water so they were all left. I spent nearly £40 and feel it was money wasted. I’m hoping this occasion was a one of as like I’ve mentioned already we love the food here.
The Beehive – Houghton-le-SpringHaving heard soo much about this place we decided to book for a birthday meal. Didn’t disappoint. We went for the Sunday dinner. Amazing. Great atmosphere and lovely welcoming staff. Will definitely be back.
The Beehive – Houghton-le-SpringVisited The Beehive on a Saturday evening with the family, first of all you have to book otherwise you will not get a table. Pub was packed when we arrived, and the atmosphere very friendly as it’s a local pub. Our table was all set waiting for us. From the minute you sit down you are greeted in the most friendly way you feel like you’re a regular. Drinks were served while we looked at the menu, it took while for us all to choose as the menu is very good and varied. The servers kept check to make sure we were okay or needed any help with the menu. Once we had made our choices with an adjustment to one dish which again was no problem as everything is cooked from scratch, more drinks were brought. Had a short wait for the food which happens when it’s cooked to order, when it arrived it all looked fantastic both from a presentation and quality point of view. We had five different dishes and everyone was superb, great portion size with so much flavour, so no recommendations you will have to find your own favourite. All I can say is fantastic food in a great atmosphere with the best hosts.

The Beehive – Houghton-le-SpringNot good at all ...long time for drinks,longer for 2 starters, massive wait for main meals. Turkey curry was just vegetables, chewy meat and greasy sauce . Fish ...soggy batter and cremated chips. Christmas burgers missing bacon and cranberry sauce and burgers overcooked. Pizza had standard ham not the Parma ham as listed on the menu..all in all very disappointed. Fish and curry removed from the bill .
