The Beehive, Edmonton - pub details

Over a year since my last review, so will update as I have been back in a few times over recent weeks.
Beer choice remains as mentioned below and the Pride and Bass have always been good on my visits.
Tried the food for the first time in the middle of last week and was impressed. The quality and quantity were very good, albeit slightly more expensive than the meal deals you can get in the Stag opposite.
Found out yesterday that it's been awarded the Enfield and Barnet CAMRA branch pub of the year for 2009, and due to my historical affinity for this boozer, its good to see it on the up.

Have popped into the Beehive for a lunchtime pint a couple of times over the last weekends. Can concur with some of the comments below that the recent redecoration has left The Beehive looking like it’s being cared for again, like it was when it represented my local back in the late 70’s and through the 80’s when Pat and John used to reign behind the bar.
The whole place is now brighter and more welcoming with the pre smoking ban ceiling of indeterminate colour (Dulux would have it as something like Dark Nicotine Browny Orange), being replaced by something closer to Brilliant White, as well as doing up the rest of the tired decor and opening up the large front glass windows by loosing the old tired curtains.
Although still a one bar pub, the makeover has made a lounge / public bar feel to the two ends. The South end of the pub is now reserved for food and although I have not tried it, the available menu and specials chalk board seem to provide a reasonable choice. The patch of green grass attached to the south end has also been turned into a decent garden area. The long middle of the bar still provides a decent space for those who prefer to stand whilst drinking and the pool table and dartboard remain to give the north end a more public bar appeal.
But I came in for the beer and I can happily report that there were four real ales on during my visit, IPA, Speckled Hen, Draft Bass and London Pride. Tried the Bass and the Pride and both were in good condition.
Well done then to the new management.
