David Walton left this review about The Beehive

No cask. Keg offering of Inch's, dark fruit SB, Wingman session IPA, John Smiths, San Miguel, Peroni, Carling, Stella, Madri, Guinness.

Typical Harvester. Seating out the front via picnic benches on paving stones. Restaurant to the left of the entrance, bar area to the right. Bare boarded with the bar counter along the rear wall with a small chessboard patterned skirt along its length. Some tall tables with tall, backed stools on a bare boarded flooring along with a couple of regular tables with bucket style armchairs. The area away from the bar counter is carpeted with some banquettes around the walls serving regular and tall tables and appropriate seating the other side thereof. A fire grate on the wall near the entrance not operational had a TV above silently showing Sky Sports News. A pop soundtrack was adding the only atmosphere into the venue on my visit at an obvious quiet time for the bar side of the venue. Bar staff very friendly and welcoming and sometimes that makes a difference, if not on the beer and, hence scoring front.
