Beehive Pub Restaurant in St Edmundsbury

Good looking pub located in close proximity to Ickworth. We went for Sunday lunch. Service was ok though many staff seemed inexperienced or not much incentive to care (slow, seen on mobile rather than checking on you). Roast wasn’t the best, veggie basket (the only veg option) was ok but very small. Stuffing or cabbage not to our taste, broccoli raw. Dessert was slightly better but also disappointing - for a nice looking pub we expected more on food quality, but was let down and won’t return.

Came in for lunch and had a very nice fish & chips with mushy peas. Very friendly staff and great location.

Wonderful pub. Super friendly service and very accommodating. Don't have a specific kids menu but offered to accommodate our toddler with fish fingers, ended up getting her a starter portion of ravioli. They gave her a little fork to eat it with and she loved it. I'm sure they would have done a smaller portion of sausages if asked as super helpful. Food was great value for money, great quality produce and delicious.

Lovely family run pub, with amazing food. Little choice, not sire, because it was off-season, but only 2 mains, and few starters, classic burgers, and few salads. But one of the mains: fish and chips: TOP QUALITY! I would even dare to say that was one of the best I have ever had!

We had the worst Sunday lunch we have ever had. The beef was overcooked, the brocoli was so old it was yellow/brown and the gravy like dishwater. Cheap supermarket wine. Owner has replied we were rude. We definitely were not. We had no problem at all with the young staff just the quality of food. We did not discuss with anyone but paid and left. We're still laughing at his response.

Very Friendly people. Lovely food and beer.

Beautiful location , good service ,excellent value for Money

Turned up for the 1st time all looked lovely as the landlady pointed out different areas of them pub including the pool table & dart board. Very friendly & lovely sausage & mash. We shall return.

Lovely village pub very very close to Ickworth House. Had a lovely Sunday lunch with family.

We had a wonderful Friday lunchtime meal. Our whole family, three generations were catered for very well. Made to feel very welcome. Good food had by all. The garden is small but a real sun trap. Our hosts could not have been nicer. Well done!

We held a wake here for a dear friend. Absolutely beautiful, food and service were amazing. Liz definitely went above and beyond for us. Thank you

Great little pubresterant food expensive but worth every penny 10/10

Dropped at opening time on Tuesday and Landlady was very welcoming. Had a nice chat whilst deciding what to eat. Food was great and served and fairly prompt( no.mean feat as she was serving and cooking that evening) The evening was warm so we ate in the garden - its a real sun trap as the sun goes down. Thank you very much for an enjoyable visit. We will return.

Nice place but food wasn't to the standard we had hoped for.

Lovely evening at a wonderful village pub

Great experience here. The staff were so nice and friendly.

Lovely staff, warm welcome. Free Poppadoms with our beer!

Cosy, great beer, lovely food. Dog friendly too!

Very friendly and great curry's

Had a curry at the Beehive last night, cracking food and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Liz behind the bar is so welcoming. Just a very friendly quaint local pub. Thanks for a lovely chilled night 👍

Very surprised and pleased! The chicken jalfrezi curry was very tasty and to be honest, I thought better than some of the curries I've had from restaurants in town. Kobold lager from Adnams was a bonus too! The classic fish and chips was tasty, so all in all, a nice, value for money Saturday night down the pub. A thumbs up from me 👍

The waitress was very friendly and chatty. The starters were fine, they were the best bit of the food we ate. Then we had the mains and two of our party chose the beef burger. I can honestly say it was the worst burger I have ever eaten. It was like someone had taken a cheap beef burger, had grilled it for far too long till it was chard and then had put it away for few days and had decided to microwave it for our dinner. It tasted like cardboard. The "chips" were and tasted like cheap french fries again from a supermarket. I was really shocked anyone would serve that to customers. We were being treated to this dinner. We were very hungry and ate most of what was on our place. You can eat almost anything with mayo and ketchup. Both myself and the other person who ate a burger spoke out about how bad the burger meat was. However it was decided jointly that I would not voice my opinion to the waitress as to not cause our friends embarrassments. If it had only been me, I would have sent that burger back to the kitchen. But it wasn't' and so I did what we collectively decided. I go and write a review. Needless to say, I will not eat there again.

Had a great beer after a fast walk around Ickworth park.

Great buffet put on. Very welcoming team

Very good, had a lovely meal with excellent service and staff.

Lovely village pub and friendly staff. Not to mention handmade pizza on a Wednesday eve, so good!

Had dinner with family in the rear garden. Menu is perfect, something for everyone. Will be back definitely!

Lovely meal. Great service. We will be coming back!

I ordered 20 afternoon teas last weekend - they were delicious, fresh and huge! excellent value for money. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a cracking beef roast! Loved the cauliflower cheese! The beer was cold and tasty and the staff were excellent especially Liz and Emma.

Thank you Caroline, Emma and Beehive team Your Pork and Roast Beef dinner take away was excellent. Loads of meat, Runner Beans Carrots and cauliflower Cheese! Perfect Yorkshire Puddings and roast Pots, and even includes gravy, horseradish and apple sauce. Everything was Delicious Made a lovely Mothers Day treat. Must also mention Friday Fish n chips also excellent. Well done Beehive for helping us through the lockdowns.

Excellent venue for a birthday get together with 4 family members. Very well organised, with social distancing in place & managed. The food was delicious, & beautifully presented. Thank you very much for a memorable evening.

Great place for Sunday lunch. Dogs very welcome

Cheap Sunday roast. Ordered pork, received beef! Flattest Yorkshires I have ever seen. Couldn't order any extras as they didn't have enough food. Treacle sponge stuck in the mould so was quite messy looking. Food was average, you get what you pay for.

Great pub, great staff, great community

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit here for Sunday Lunch, excellent food, lovely friendly atmosphere, and brilliant hospitality, will definitely be back.

Good for a few pints......good food....no nonsense

We popped in for lunch, it was really family and dog friendly. The food was really nicely done, decent selection of drinks and a great feel to the pub too.

Lovely cozy pub, friendly staff, Suffolk and Essex ales, grand for a Sunday roast.

Incredible food and amazing staff, wished we lived nearer to visit more often.

Good pub, great food and beer deals, good outside spaces to chill out

We've called in here for lunch mid ride out a few times now, the chap behind the bar is anyways really friendly and wished us a safe ride back home today which was nice. Good food (mushroom stroganoff was really nice!) and a nice selection of drinks (although anyways lime and sodas for us mind!). Nice wee garden, cosy restaurant area and a proper pool room - ideal mix for a traditional pub :)

Nice friendly village pub with imaginative food. The mushroom stroganoff was delicious.

Proper real home cooking, rustic setting and real ales. What's not to like.

When the chef was not available Liam jumped in and did us a fantastic meal a few weeks back. He produced some great food for us. Normally he runs the bar and keeps a happy and friendly pub. As a local its my favourite place to meet friends and enjoy a relaxed few hours be they lunch time or evening. Glad to see more folk are discovering what an excellent traditional pub it is.

Surprisingly good food for what initially appears to just be a local pub. Pleasant staff and a good atmosphere too.

Lovely main course and very friendly staff my only very minor complaint is the dessert hive honey taster needs something solid either biscuit or bread with it as it's just different honey smeared on a plate.

It's our local so always good to walk to and have a spot of lunch. Today we have learned chef has gone. Food was OK. FOH staff were fab at holding an obviously busy kitchen. Will return but needs a look at on the kitchen side.

I consider £11.50 for a burger and few 'chips' very poor value. The burger was tasteless, the chips were over done and hard, they went cold very quickly. The beer tasted as though the pipes needed a good clean through. Really not a very good experience overall and will definitely not be trying it again.

Friendly service and truly fabulous food created by a chef par excellance! We will be back and we'll bring our friends.

Nice place but food wasn't to the standard we had hoped for.

Great food ,service. Beautiful interior. Good price love the specials.

The Beehive pub Bury St Edmunds is a fab little find. Great helpful barman and friendly chefs who make amazing panini's!

Good food, reasonable price, friendly service, nice beer. Food obviously cooked by skilled hands instead of a microwave technician!

Great food, friendly helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere. Fab chef manager Max.

Consistently superb! I had a pork roast dinner today, which was my second visit this week. Every mouthful felt like the best think I’d ever tasted. I real treat! The staff are lovely, the beer’s delicious, the toilets are immaculate and the pub’s nicely decorated.

Nice pub and you can take your dog

A dream of a local village pub, a proper warm welcome, delicious food, very good ale, pretty beer garden, their own blend gin. Just a shame it's not in MY village!

Super pub with a great menu. Super Sunday roast.

Good food alternative if you're staying at Ickworth hotel

Great service, excellent real ale and fantastic food!

Friendly pub. Nice food. Would return

Lovely food, comfortable surroundings staff very friendly and the best thing is they allow dogs 😊

Been to this pub many times. Food is really good prepared by Chef Max. My 11 year olds fave is fish and chips with homemade tartar saurce and duck breast with red cabbage n cherry sauce. I love the occassional rogan josh lamb curry and roast tender chicken leg. Very cosy ambience and dogs are allowed in some areas. Friendly bar tender and staff. Chef Max is a great cook. Outdoor dining here is lovely during the summer!

Nice old pub mainly serving ales, only one lager on tap . food good and our dog was welcome there too..

Absolutely marvellous, had a lovely lunch here, very friendly. Food excellent, staff very helpful and accommodating. Thorough recommended.

Excellent food and very good beer. Would highly recommend. Also dog friendly!

This place has delicious food, it is great for families, and has affordable prices.

Excellent choice very accommodating for a large number.

Super service. Lovely village pub and restaurant. Will go back again soon with our dog, as they welcome your walking companion too.

Went for an evening out after a walk in Ickworth Park. Plenty of parking and a good bistro-style menu, reasonably priced. Nice to see it open again after being closed for some time

It's a dream come true that does real English home cooked food and a great selection of real ales. Definitely worth a visit

Can't complain, lovely little Suffolk pub, great selection of drinks!

Spot on little place.... Totally kid friendly (my 2 year old was accepted too) Food and service spot on. Friendly staff. Will be returning 👌👌👌

Ate here recently, brilliant food, service and prices. Cosy atmosphere, good choice and will definately be back.

This is NOT a Thai restaurant now It's a well decorated english country pub that serves very good food

Wonderful Thai food , 100 % Thai taste

Wouldn't have known it was Thai at a blind tasting. Bland and uninteresting. Have a feeling most of it came out of a packet. Sorry but I love proper Thai food.
