| I visited the Beehive just over a week ago, my first visit in almost a year. I stopped visiting the pub because the beer tasted awful. Are the bar-staff incapable of cleaning the pipes? On my last visit I had to drink Guiness because there was no bitter or ale on. The lager selection is dreadful. Fosters is not a lager; it is an insult to the brewing industry. The Beehive could be a great pub if the staf put the effort in. Is it a case of the staff not bothering as there is no competion in the error. The nearest pub is probably the Charcoal Burner; not a pub to set the world on fire. When Terry ran the pub many years ago he made the effort to keep the pub in good shape. My rating for the Beehive is a 0. That is being generous. Unfortunately the rating system doesn't accept minus numbers. Boyne - 14 Jul 2008 12:51 |
| Such a shame that this pub isn't better - a great building, no other pubs within sensible walking distance, yet it continues to struggle. The food is cheap, which is something, and while wildly variable the service is sometimes good (although I have to say sometimes shocking). Late licence at weekends can be handy. It had a decent refurb a few years back, but could do with a refurb of some of the regulars. Quite a weird mix in there - when there is anyone in there at all. No real ale, despite evidence that there is demand for it. A real waste - needs someone with a bit of vision to take over this place. It could be a good boozer with a bit of work. old_at_heart - 16 Jan 2008 12:54 |
| OK, lets be fair to this pub. It is an ordinary pub, catering to ordinary people - I am one of those, 2 kids, estate car, the works. I go there at weekends when I can get out of the house for an hour or so!True,it does not serve real ale, which would be nice, but that is not the end of the world.. However, I have never seen any trouble, indeed last week one guy got an earful from the bar staff for shouting out the c-word when an open goal was missed on the televised match. It welcomes families and serves acceptable food. Nothing special, but if you are after a quite drink, watch the football, read your paper, and not be hassled or have to watch your possesions the whole time then it's fine. Give it a chance, tey are trying to improve. Also, the staff have always been fine to me. Beats some of the pretentious pubs uptown - that's for sure. macdive - 14 Jan 2008 14:24 |
| I revisited this place yesterday in the vain hope that it might have improved. Now there is no real ale at all (whatever happened to customer choice?) and the staff seem even more disinterested than ever. Trouble is, there is no other pub nearby, let alone a decent one. southdown12jack - 2 Jan 2008 13:49 |
| Aye to the last remark - I left town, and I went as far as Montana in the Pacific North-West of the United States. andrewgwb - 7 Jul 2007 04:08 |
