Reviews in Houghton-le-Spring

Food at this pub is absolutely amazing. Lots of choices on the menu. Everything cooked to order. Great portion sizes. Staff are all lovely especially Julie. Always busy and booking is essential as its so popular, and rightly so! A great place and we're lucky its just round the corner for us xx

Great service as soon as we arrived. Very prompt bar and table staff. Food arrived very quickly and piping hot . Portions are huge and wonderfully cooked. Will certainly be coming back sooner rather than later

First Class Modernisation of Restaurant..Food Great, ..the Pork Belly was delicious, really well cooked, Vegetables not overcooked, Service was very good, nobody constantly asking 'Is everything Alright?', which greatly pleased me....

Excellent service, very friendly and attentive staff. Food was lovely and a bit different which was what appealed to us. Definitely a revisit soon.

Visited The Beehive for the first time in many years as I had been told it was now a restaurant. It was for my son's 22nd birthday. The food was delicious and extremely well presented. There was plenty of it and an excellent range of choices. The service and the staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this for any occasion or even if you just want to treat yourself.

Had Sunday lunch a couple of times now and haven't been disappointed. Traditional Sunday lunch with plenty veg and yorkshire puddings. Really good value for money. Great little restaurant and the staff can't do enough for you. Looking forward to next time already.

Food was absolutely beautiful. Great service and would highly recommend.

The meal on the whole was tasty, meat was delicious, veg superb and plentiful. Yorkshire puds were delicious. On the downside the roast potatoes were positively awful. The knife could not even cut them and they were tasteless. The mash was gloopy. Not a bit like a mama used to make. However I would go back and would recommend. We also had a pud sticky toffee pudding for me and apple crumble for my friend. Both delicious.

Amazing food, I have just been in and had the Sunday sharing platter it was delicious and so filling definitely worth the money. Staff were so friendly as always.

First time at The Beehive trying their food and it was beautiful...... give it a go.... you won't be disappointed..... booking essential..... as they say! Food was incredible and to top it off, what lovely attentive staff. 100% be booking again.

Fantastic food and amazing staff

Always overlooked the beehive as I live so close but broke from the norm and have been a good few times this year. The food is always great whether it be burgers or Sunday lunches. Always experimenting with new flavours and innovating compared to other places. My particular favourite is the sticky toffee pudding sundae, it is immense. Definitely up there with one of the best sticky toffee puddings I've had. Service is always amazing and it is always the same faces working there. If I had to pick a couple of things it can be a little cramped and if the extension comes about it will really make this place great. Also I do think that the prices are a little high but I do.suppose you get what you pay for.

We visited for the first time for Sunday Lunch 18/8/24, we heard the food was good but wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. We ordered the beef and the trio of meats with a side of the sausage stuffing. The beef just fell apart as soon as you cut into it, the stuffing was outstanding the best I had tasted in a long time. I always always order extra gravy when I have a Sunday roast as the majority of places do not put enough on the meal, The Beehive do! There was plant gravy so no need to order extra, the veg was well cooked roast potatoes were my husbands favorite and the mash was lovely along with a HUGE Yorkshire pudding. For dessert we ordered a Bannoffee cheesecake to share and WOW! I don’t usually eat dessert but did that day. Prices for the meals are very reasonable £11.95 for a roast!the waitress’s were really kind and friendly, We will defo be back!

Absolutely fantastic food! Never had a burger like it. The atmosphere and staff were great and the decor is lovely as I have not been for many years! I cannot wait to return!

Lovely food and drinks, nice friendly Staff and a relaxed atmosphere

Visited on the 11/08 for Sunday Lunch it was delicious. I had pork loin which just fell apart it was devine, My husband had beef and his was delicious too, We didn’t leave a scrap, We booked a table as it’s recommended as it’s really popular. We were seated on time and orders taken promptly, Would highly recommend.

Food was excellent, generous portions and so much on plate we didn't have room for a dessert. So much choice on the menu, we will definitely be back again and recommend to friends. Staff were very friendly, professional and a credit to the business.
