Rather topsy tervy- but it ended marvellously! We had raw beef and a moody waitress, followed by vegetables in our ice cream. But all was well in the end! The manager is the most customer service queen esque you will probably ever meet, she refunded two two-course meals, and took 25% of our entire bill. Plus understood that we were upset and needed something back from the bad experience. We WILL be returning because we KNOW that these people care about customers and their needs.

It was a pity there were not more people to give a better atmosphere. Food was great this time. At times can be very inconsistent.

Enjoyed our Sunday meal with friends. Was pleased that there was a choice of pink or cooked beef as we all like it rare. Desserts were beautifully presented and delicious and we were provided with more toffee sauce when we requested it.

No atmosphere. No pictures on the walls only empty picture hooks. No coat rail. Limited choice on the menu. Not all items on the menu available. Food ok but nothing special. Service adequate. We have been before and had excellent meals and an enjoyable time but don't think we will be going back. Sorry to say it was very disappointing as we had gone for a special occasion.

Another excellent meal. The black pudding croquet was superb, and the only problem with the steak and ale pie was that it was so big, there was no room left for a dessert. P.s. the Black Sheep ale is excellent also.

Had a lovely meal with friends, the food was lovely. The only negative comment was that the salmon main course had very little vegetables and no potatoes, not enough for a man, the Sunday roasts were ample and plenty of veg.extra veg was brought when requested with no fuss. Although all the staff were young the service and attention was great, although no prescence of a manager? Will return in the new year.

The wine and food were of good quality and quantity in general. Bar the sticky toffee pudding which was clap cold. We were told it was supposed to be hot sticky toffee pudding. We were still charged on the bill, but refused to pay for it. Bar that the service was very good. The biggest problem was it was freezing and I spent the evening with an overcoat on. There was a beautiful looking fire, but it was not on. In January!!?? The best thing about the evening was the Ainsty real ale. This was the finest pint I've had so far this year. Looking at how phenomenally popular the Stew & Oyster is in Boston Spa I wonder if The Beahive could make more of its bar area to attract more customers who may then eat in the restaurant.

Decent portions. Sunday lunch good, staff pleasant. The Sunday roast was plentiful with 2 veg and potatoes. I ordered the salmon and there was an approx 4oz of salmon and a minimal amount of very thinly sliced veg underneath. The sauce surrounding the salmon was too rich and I badly missed some plain boiled potatoes. I think that just because someone ordered the fish from the menu, they ought to be given a normal amount of vegetables to bring this plate up to a similar size of the Sunday roast. Staff may need better training. Our lady assistant didn't bring us the vanilla ice cream with the dessert. She didn't even mention it and walked away. When she passed by I asked if we could have the vanilla ice cream that we ordered and she simply said, " we ran out" and was walking away. I asked if they had any other flavour of ice cream and she said "she didn't know" and walked away. The correct response should have been to go back to the kitchen and see if they actually had any ice cream on the premises they could offer! However, we will visit again, not having been here for a couple of years but we heard it had changed management.

We were well looked after. The staff even welcomed my four month old granddaughter when her babysitter dropped out. The food was hot and tasty. A slight disappointment with the bruschetta, quite small and too many onions and not enough tomatoes. Quite expensive for what it was.

Limited choice of wine as cheaper bottles were understocked and had run out. The food was good value though and well worth the small wait!

We booked last minute in order to use our taste card. We arrived and there was only one table filled outside and one member of staff working behind the bar. As we arrived so did another 4 tables all seated outside and then another few inside. The waitress did a really good job to say she was on her own but there was quite a wait for everything but we didnt mind this too much. We had some olives and camembert to start which were lovely. My other half had a burger which came with chips and coleslaw which he really enjoyed - the chips were really nice and the burger was a decent size. I had the pasta with arabiatta sauce which unfortunately was far too overcooked and quite mushy which is a shame because the sauce had a nice flavour. I would come again and especially with the 2 for 1 deal it is quite reasonable but I wouldnt have been happy with paying full price for the pasta. It is handy for us as we live in the village and want to support a local business but I think for the money a little more service (more than one member of staff) is expected on a busy sunny summer evening.

I had a lovely evening at The Beehive last night, the young waiting on staff were a pleasant surprise as they were professional, polite with manners that put a lot of mature individuals to shame. The food was impeccable, service sublime and the gentleman behind the bar whom I assume was the owner/manager was lovely and welcoming. We will definitely be re-booking to visit again. A new favourite for me!

A warm welcome from the host. Plenty to choose from on the menu whether you want a small snack or a full meal. Food was freshly cooked, hot, perfect small portion for me and large portion for my friend, well presented and very tasty. Will certainly go back again as the price was better than expected too....
