My ratings are based on my meal. My partner had the burger and wasn't impressed at it's densely dry consistency and thought the bacon on top tasted a little weird. He's a trained chef and thinks burgers should be succulently tender. I had the prawn and salmon salad which was lovely, it had plenty of ingredients and was very filling. Our friend had the lasagne which she said was very tasty. The wine was a good quality and wasn't overly priced.
Read some reviews that talk about this place doing the best Sunday dinner they’ve ever had so we booked in. Honestly the most underwhelming roast I’ve ever had - the meat was bordering on being grey (turkey for me and beef for my partner), Yorkshire puddings were tough as boot leather, and the veg selection and portion size were disappointing too. It really gave the vibes of the dinners my Nan used to get served in the care home🥲 £40 for 2 dinners and 2 drinks really didn’t feel worth it when no one came back to ask if everything was okay either. Such a shame as the pub grub that was coming out looked good, and the location and pub its self has potential to be lovely. Won’t be retuning.
After a day in Manchester we decided to drive back the scenic route and try find an independent quality pub for food. We were super lucky to find the Beehive, it’s a beautiful pub in a stunning peaceful rural location, proper homemade food and big portions… my mum would get small adults roast dinner next time. I got the veggie roast dinner and all the Sunday trimmings. The staff were friendly and just good all round people who made us feel super welcome. Such a treat to find such a gem
A recent visit here for midweek tea . Lots of good reviews and so we looked forward to trying this pub. Ample parking and a dog friendly pub, which was a bonus. Wheelchair access would be possible. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Sadly the atmosphere was somewhat flat due to lack of people in the pub. A variety of foods to choose from on the menu suitable for both meat eaters and vegetarians. We ordered 3 bean burger and vegetable lasagne. Both came with approx 8 large cut chips and a small portion of salad. The bun of the burger was big. 5he burger had a somewhat average taste. The lasagne base tasted strongly of tomatoes and nothing else. Chips were average tasting too and on the soggy side. I would definitely recommend ordering a 2 or 3 course meal if having the lasagne as main as this meal alone was not filling. The lasagne portion was much smaller than I have experienced anywhere else. Perhaps at the weekend the atmosphere is more vibrant. Reasonably priced with a large amount of alcoholic choices. Overall not a bad place perhaps just an off day in the kitchen? On a positive note, service was good and fast.
The best pork belly I've ever had!!! Really nice staff. Very good beer. Well worth the trek from Oxford. Great value too. Someone said it was pricey??? Should try getting that quality of food down south for that brass!!! No chance. Loved it 👍
