Reviews in Houghton-le-Spring

So disappointed with the food. The food looks amazing on social media and the majority of reviews are good however, despite the huge portion sizes and great presentation, the food just wasn’t to our taste: steak and chips on flatbread with onion rings - steak was nice but there was far too much peppercorn sauce poured over that the chips and flatbread turned to mush and became tasteless and inedible. The onion rings were far too greasy. Naan Bab: partner had this and said it was okay but would had left it if it had not been £21.95. Donner appeared to be microwaveable frozen meat (the ends were burnt and curled up), the chicken was dry, and the meat that we deduced had to be the lamb was slimy and did not taste like lamb at all. Friendly service although no came to check if everything was okay with the food! Unfortunately we won’t be back.

The food was very good and the restaurant was beautifully renovated. The outside space looked lovely. I wish I had discovered it earlier and will be back soon.

Food was amazing and the service was excellent. Really friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

Amazing food! Amazing service will deffo be back to try more things

Starter we had pork belly bites they were truly delicious. My partner had duck pancakes, he says they were nice but not as nice as the pork ha. Mains I had rump steak on flatbread, really enjoyed mine. My partner had Morrocan lamb chops he loved them. We were too full for dessert. We will definitely return I thought the atmosphere was really nice and the staff were really friendly and approachable will be back

Well we went but didn’t get to eat. Got told they had a power cut and they’d had it for some time and didn’t know when it would come back on. So traveled all that way for nothing. They could of phoned to let people know. Not impressed

First time visitors and will definitely be back. Food was excellent and staff were great.

Great service and absolutely amazing food.

Amazing food and great service! Excellent value for money, huge portion size, all fresh products and tastes amazing. Lovely atmosphere too!

This is a regular place for me to eat. Mid week and Sunday lunch. I have never been disappointed with either the food or the service. It's a relaxing, comfortable pub whether you're wanting a drink on your own or with friends. Food has always been wonderful with generous portions.

Food was very good we had Sunday lunch . We went for the beef. If I have any thing to complaints the Yorkshire puddings were a little over cooked and were dry. The ice cream with the sticky toffee pudding was to small portion and had to ask for extra to finish pudding. Good value for money!

Came here for the a meal mid week last week and then returned for a Sunday share plate it was amazing!

The food was really nice ,the service and serving staff was brilliant, only one thing, way too small tables for two

Party of 4 and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals I had 3 Little Pigs and it was delicious with nice frackling in the pork belly. Presentation of all meals is very good and the staff are really nice. Puddings were great too. Restaurant is very comfy and not too cramped as is the case with some. Will definitely go back. .

I saw the food on Facebook and had to try. Very busy, slight wait, but food was amazing. I never admit defeat on food but had to get a box to take home as portions are huge. Definitely be back.My choice was 'The Geordie Parmo ', and it didn't disappoint.

This was our first visit to the Beehive. My wife and myself called for lunch and had a very enjoyable meal with good wine. The service was excellent and the serving staff were very friendly and well on top of their game. The food was also excellent, delicious and well presented. A good varied menu, we will certainly be calling again.
