New Beehive Inn  

The Beehive is a little slice of history as it still has the original gas lamps in the front bar, lit by a candle in a bottle.

To the right of entrance is what I would call te main bar area. There is a tall bar with stools to sit at it. On the bar are a number of hand pumps, not always with pump clips on - they seem to use them in the back bar during the week. The floor is marble and tiled all the way through to the toilets at the rear. These are down a long corridor, so keep going till you get to the gents.

The front bar has tables and chairs and a real fire - not lit at lunchtimes weekdays. Also note that they often do not open till 1pm during the week and food is not always served either, so do call before making a journey.

The beers on at the time were all well served and were keenly priced. The rear bar is much darker than the front and has a large mural around the bar with famous faces on it in caricature. Seating is at tables and hairs on a bare floor also.

The other rooms were being decorated on this visit, but there is a no smoking room and a games room as well. In addition to the real ale, the Beehive stocks a good range of Belgian beers and fruit wines plus some malt whiskeys.

Accommodation is available here, though not seen on this occasion, it is also used by workmen.

Music is played here in the Cellar Bar on Friday nights. Opposite Morrison's car park, though it has its own.
