The Beehive

I went to meet someone in the area who I know for 25 years but we met only twice since 1994. I had a quick look on the map which direction to go but I haven't had a strong idea. I told to myself, let the force direct and take us where we can chat and catch up. Finally fate took us there. It was lunch time 12.30ish. It seemed they have just opened for that day. We were the first customers. We loved the pub interior, furniture's. Waiter was very friendly and polite. There was a very pleasant background jazz music, not loud, perfectly we could talk, absolutely not disturbing. The alacart had various simple dishes, exactly what we wished as both of us had a sumptuous breakfast. Food and drink prices are reasonable. Long story short, we have absolutely enjoyed the place, atmosphere, food and drink which has been spiced with some spiritual power. Figuratively, our meet, topic of our chat and catch up happened at a comfortable "homey" place at the Beehive! Go and enjoy!

Friday evening, we'd tried another pub down the road but it was jammers and wouldn't let my friend in with her dog. A very kind patron outside suggested the Beehive as they are dog friendly. Turned out to be an inspired recommendation. Much more relaxed pub, had a wonderful old pub interior feel, comfy seats, relaxed people inside, not the standard beery loud after work crowd, interesting beers on offer, good looking cocktails, and a great looking tapas and dinner menu. Great service from the staff too. This place is a gem, will definitely be back.

Best pub food thus far. I’ve been in the UK for 4 weeks, eating at a pub every other day, and this is the best pub food I’ve had. It was completely empty in the middle of lunch time on a Saturday, so my group of 9 was skeptical. But I have no idea why this place is not packed. Their pasta and risotto of the day was great, and they are accommodating to allergies. It was also reasonably priced.
