Cons:

• "Do not come here with kids, they did everything they could to make them unwelcome."
• "It’s a shame the food let it down so badly as it’s a nice pub with a good atmosphere but I definitely won’t be eating there again."
• "The atmosphere in the pub was very good for the adults and the children the music wasn't too loud so I could genuinely hear the person I was talking to and the establishment was very clean even with people going in and out of the pub."
• "Very grubby in need of decorating hallways & loos."
• "Smoking area by front doors and smokers also smoke in rear garden and right in front of rear doors and by front doors so in summer when doors are left open smoke is dragged into the non-smoking pub from both sides."

Facilities

Pros:

• "The toilets, however, were upstairs. Some people wouldn't mind. Older people, or people with children, might experience some difficulties."
• "One of a group is a wheelchair user who was delighted at the ease of access and seating arrangements throughout."
• "The Beehive has ample parking out front as well as outside seating areas either side of the entrance and a secluded area in the back to enjoy a meal in the sun."
• "I loved that the garden had little huts so you could still be outside but undercover and each hut had a heater."
• "We were impressed with the pub itself and the outdoor seating area."
• "Nice area to sit outside or in a quiet corner in the bar area."
• "Lots of seating available in nice sectioned areas around the pub."

Cons:

• "Visited on a Sunday evening and there were loads of beers that were not available."
• "When we went in all tables not cleaned told Sunday roast had finished ordered 2 steaks came out in good time no forks on table had too ask, no onions rings on plates they only gave us three between us and for salt they only had small pots which you put your fingers into."
• "The meals were excellent, although the 15 meals were not all served at or near the same time."
• "Decor is a bit tired and the loos are in dire need of a refurbishment."
• "It could do with moving the smoking area away from the main entrance so you don't have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get in."
• "Visited last week, no chocolate to sprinkle on cappuccino, soup arrived and no spoon, dessert arrived without spoons then given a soup spoon and a dessert spoon."
• "Unfortunately the food standards have dropped recently, together with the Manager's incapability to accept that his cooking was not up to standard!!"
