The Beehive, SW11

Visited 02/07/24 Fullers Pub. Rectangular bare boarded venue with bar on left hand side with some stools that myself and the few others frequenting the venue early evening were happy to congregate around for some banter with the v pleasant manageress. Regular tables and chairs and a TV showing the footy on the far wall. There is a small room out the back and a very small covered area out the very back of the pub. Some colourful metal chairs and tables out the front also. Five hand pumps but only two operation and both dispensing LP. My pint came out of the left most pump so I can only vouch for that being a fine pint. I suspect the right most pump would also have dispensed a tasty pint (but remembering it is just LP). On tap was a pale ale called Coulthard from Blue Coast and the Brew Dog Hazy Jane, along with what feels like an age since I last saw Grolsch in a pub, Guinness, Neck Oil, Asahi, Peroni and a cider that I didn’t recognise. Was surprised to discover this was a Fullers pub as most venues I know in Central London post codes owned by them are quite grand places. It was a nice neighbourhood venue notched down only by the lack of any cask offering other than Pride.

Compact Fuller's pub with a very narrow frontage and a narrow rectangular bar that gets quite dark towards the back. Refurbished inside with the expected mix of the traditional and modern. Large projector screen for major sporting events such as Wimbledon. Also has some patio tables out on the pavement. Three of five hand pumps in operation with Pride (£4.05), Seafarers and ESB on offer.
