Reviews in Houghton-le-Spring

Our first time at The Beehive - will visit again! We enjoyed an amazing Sunday lunch - the gravy was superb - the best we've tasted while eating out. Kudos to the chef. Staff were very attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

The staff were so friendly, welcoming & attentive. If the food wasn’t as amazing as it was I would still have visited again just for the outstanding customer service. The food was fantastic, we had starters, mains & a dessert & couldn’t fault anything. Great menu choice & overall great experience

Excellent service and great food. Been here a few times now and will definitely be back.

Food was excellent, staff very friendly and attentive. Will be definitely coming back soon.

Had high hopes for this meal as heard a lot of positive reviews however left feeling very underwhelmed. Food was not as described in the menu, ordered a NaanBab , which came on a plain white flatbread not a garlic and herb naan, no sauces, salad was very basic. No peas supplied with the scampi. No one came to ask if we wanted any sauces or any more drinks or if everything was ok. Asked about the missing peas and was told she’d look into it, never got an answer. Very “not arsed” attitude of the staff on Tuesday. Disappointing all around to be honest

Came for lunch Monday . Excellent service . Food was gorgeous ! Massive portions and presentation of it was superb ! I got the taste of Asia flat bread, highly recommend

We booked a table and my husband and I had the most delicious Sunday lunch on 21/9/25 We both had the beef which was really tender, the roast potatoes where crispy and tasty, the mash was good and so too was all the veg and a crispy Yorkshire the gravy was really tasty too a real homemade Sunday lunch which ticked all the boxes for us. Would 100% recommend eating here. We will definitely be coming back here again. The service was spot on too with a friendly and a nice atmosphere

Food was top notch couldn't fault it more than enough

Rang to book a table but told they had nothing. My friend went on line and booked like 2 mins after . So dont understand. Plus was lots of empty tables . Food was lovely and service was good

Came here last night with 4 friends & really enjoyed it. Food was lovely & staff were great especially the 2 Lynne’s, had a gid laugh with them & 1 was very patient when we were ordering food, asking loads of questions & couldn’t decide what to chose as menu is amazing & has so many choices. Deffo going back for main menu & Sunday lunch. We were all too full for dessert but there was a good choice.

Staff were lovely, couldn’t help enough. Food was beautiful. Huge portions.

Excellent food, service and experience, will definitely be back

Outstanding food as always. Hard to choose what you want as it’s all so beautiful. Chef is an absolute credit to this place. Staff are always attentive so welcome will be back again soon.
