The Beehive, Eamont Bridge, Penrith, Cumbria
Chris, the Manager's, welcome to the pub as we walked in was exactly what I would expect. We asked if there was a table free to eat and, although we hadn't booked, there was a reserved table more than ample to accommodate our 4 which he said we could sit at as it wasn't booked until 8.30. He asked if he could take our drink order while we were at the bar and promptly dispensed our drinks. The staff were attentive and took our food order when they noticed we had stopped discussing what we were going to have!
The food came within the half hour. Gammon, 2 eggs and chips, 2 Ultimate Beehive Burgers (which were whoppers and extremely good value) and a steak and black pudding pie with fresh veg and chips. The food was extremely good value and plenty of it. My pie was to die for. Home made chips, veg aldente. Chris came our side of the bar on several occasions to check with diners that everything was ok with the food and take any further drink orders, which he brought to the table for you.
My main praise was customer service. Chris made us feel like locals. He went that extra mile. The waiting staff were polite, asking if there was anything else they could get you to compliment your meal. Felt pampered! Thoroughly recommend this pub. The beer garden is fabulous. Wonderfully kept gardens and a children's play park too. Ticked all my boxes good time.
Had a great night on Friday 23/6/17 at the Beehive. Really friendly and helpful staff, good range of beers and excellent food.
There was a live band on who were great with the kids and played requests so catering for the clientele.
Great beer garden, would definitely recommend this place for families
Excellent place
