A great Victorian residential-area local pub used by customers of all ages, with an excellent range of beers from local and national brewers.

Inside there are three bar areas: a traditional bar with a real fire; a comfortable lounge with leather sofas; and a small entrance hall snug area. The pub also boasts a function room upstairs, plays host to football, golf, darts, and rugby clubs, and has regular quiz nights.

The beer garden outside is popular, particularly when barbecues , which raise money for local charities, are held during the summer months. A popular beer festival with around twenty-five beers is held in June.

The Beehive was awarded Branch Pub of the Year in 2015 and was runner up as Branch City Pub of the Year 2018. Pop-up Punjabi food nights have proved popular.
