Beehive, Sheffield

Will Larter left this review about Beehive

Village pubs have changed quite a bit in the last 10 years or so, and this is no exception. Just three hand pumps now, and a recent refurbishment is in the modern style, with any hint of older times limited to a chimney breast stripped of its plaster and revealed as having second rate brickwork after all; and a few framed b&w photos of the village. My visit was at around 2:30 so clearly not during a normal mealtime for a Tuesday, but there were five members of staff, two behind the bar, two on the floor and a greeter behind a desk. No wonder pubs can't make any money.

Abbeydale Moonshine was joined on the bar by two from Welbeck Abbey: Red Feather and a pale beer called Bees Knees, which has the pub's logo, so it's probably Skylight rebadged. Both around NBSS 2.5. This is a handsome old pub in local stone, opposite the church, but it has completely lost sight of its roots. Or maybe I'm just an old gadgie indulging in nostalgia.
