Noon until nine, The Beehive transforms the sleepy village of Thorner, northeast of Leeds, into a buzzing, forgive us, hub for Yorkshire foodies to gather over great drinks and a fantastic gastropub-restaurant offering. The menu is dominated by British dishes, from grilled Yorkshire asparagus to the Beehive’s own homemade pie of the day, to the classic beer-battered North Sea haddock with mushy peas and tartare sauce. More, shall we say, continental palates will appreciate the simple charcuterie platter to start (and share, and ideal with a good beer or real ale) or the thoroughly Italian (with an English twist) seafood risotto, comprising a rich mix of mussels, king prawns, smoked haddock, spinach and samphire. This is where a steely dry European white wine might come in handy.
Going further afield from West Yorkshire into deepest Europe, The Beehive host their ever-popular French nights every Wednesday, with a set menu (that changes regularly) that tests the expert chefs mettle against confit de canard, poulet farci, and moules marinieres. Thorner locals and new converts to The Beehive’s sense of adventure know too well that it doesn’t stop there – this pub, prominent on the main road heading northeast from Leeds, also hosts wine tasting and pairing events such as the Argentinean wine dinner, the Australian wine dinner, and tastings of specific varietals hailing from France and beyond. Rustic and sophisticated, all at one great gastropub.
