Absolutely brilliant place. Second visit and both times the food was amazing as is the staff are so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again.

Really nice food, portions are big, staff very friendly

Oh my goodness….. ‘best Sunday dinner I’ve ever had’…. That was the words from my partner who’s a bit of a Sunday lunch connoisseur!!! And I completely agree!

This was my fourth visit to The Beehive, and once again, I wasn’t disappointed! The staff are so welcoming, and the whole restaurant and bar area is immaculate. I ordered the small fish and chips my lord, I wouldn’t have liked to see the large fish, haha! My husband had the chicken kiev, and once again, he said it’s the best he’s ever eaten cooked to perfection. As for the fish and chips, the batter was so light and fluffy, and the fish just melted in your mouth. I couldn’t finish my meal, so I took the rest of the fish home. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough definitely worth the 60-mile round trip!

2nd visit to the Beehive for lunch , Service 10/10 , lovely people Food. 10/10 , gorgeous food , great portions and arrived in good time Lovely atmosphere and will definitely return again , Table booking recommended for this lovely busy pub.

Exceptional staff, huge portions of food, really flavoursome. Highly recommend

Visited here this week for a long overdue catch up with a good friend. The Beehive is on my doorstep but we never think about coming here (no idea why!!). I had the Smash burger while my friend had the chicken burger - both were absolutely delicious and we weren’t disappointed. Service was great and staff were very helpful. Will definitely be returning again and would highly recommend.

Went for lunch on Tuesday 11th November. Absolutely lovely food, very flavourful and large portions. Staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. Will definitely return!

Booked for the first time for my husband's 60th birthday. So glad we booked here the meals were so good 10/10. The staff were lovely asking if everything was ok. I mentioned it was my husband's birthday and asked if they could fetch a dessert out at the end with a candle in and they did. They even brought him a whiskey on the house for his birthday. Thank you Beehive you did not disappoint

Really good food and service. Will definitely be back!

Not a lot of choice for the vegetarian but the other three thoroughly enjoyed it the Thai meal was excellent

Booked a table late September for my wife's special birthday in the November. We had been told magnificent things about the beehive. We were NOT disappointed. This place is amazing. Food delicious Staff extremely friendly Atmosphere was brilliant Place is very clean and tidy Total value for money with an extensive menu Very busy, even during the day so booking is recommended. You will not be disappointed We shall certainly return Thank you so much

This was my second time dining at The Beehive, and all I can say is OMG! I can't believe I only just discovered this place. The food is cooked fresh to order, so you might wait a little, but it's absolutely worth it. You definitely won't be disappointed. I had the lamb shank, and it was incredible the meat just melted in my mouth. My husband ordered the mixed grill and was genuinely impressed by the quality and presentation. He even said it was the best meal he's ever had locally. The salt and chilli chips are a must packed with flavour and the perfect side to any dish. We travelled 30 miles to eat here, and I can honestly say it's the best dining experience we've had. The facilities were 10/10, all the staff were amazing so friendly and welcoming and the chef is just incredible. You can really taste the passion in every dish. We've already booked a reservation for every month going forward!

1st for Sunday lunch. One word “WOW” . Great alternative too with the loaded roasties meal. Great service from the friendly attentive staff too. Thanks again

Second time dining here and we were not disappointed. Same fantastic food which was cooked beautifully and presented well. The staff were amazing, such a credit to the pub. Would definitely recommend!

Yet again another meal at the beehive and yet again could not fault it, just wish they would add some of the old choices back to the menu like the prawn lollipops but can’t fault the food.

Sunday lunch Beautiful Will be back x
