Beehive in Carlisle

Great little pub for socialising, pub sports and food. The Beehive caters for all of these aspects. The food is always tasty and service always with a genuine smile.

5 stars all round,great pub,nice and handy for the football

Fab all round. Brilliant. Friendly welcoming

Plenty of seating, warm atmosphere, friendly staff, easy to order food and very quick. Food was delicious, hot and tasty. The only problem we had was the volume of the sound due to it being quiz night but apart from that highly recommended.

Great staff and food 👌 good price 👍

Great choice of beers at a reasonable price.Good pub food.

Staff friendly, helpful, quick service. Gave our 2 dog water and treats .booked staff xmas party can't wait

A lot bigger than it looks from the outside! Decent choice of ales.

Great spot for a few drinks before the Carlisle game Great atmosphere 👌 Friendly staff We will be back for a meal Always a pleasure at this chain of places

Allways been nice place...even better now

Great atmosphere, prices are also good with the deals they have on, the team are welcoming ans made us feel at home, will recommend to friends thank you

Best pub in Carlisle by far. Staff are great. Food & drink is amazing. Bar staff are all great especially Kirsty & Holly. Will definitely be back.

There was a lovely friendly reception when we all walked in. Food was absolutely delicious and very reasonable prices. Would definitely go there again. Would definitely recommend to family n friends to go there.

Christine and the staff are so welcoming, lovely pub and atmosphere. There were 8 of us and everyone enjoyed their food, a lovely afternoon, would certainly recommend. Will definitely be back!

I had two evening meals here during my stay in Carlisle. Usually I would try different places on each night but the warm welcome and excellent service I had made me think nowhere would top The beehive. Lisa was great.

Really great Pub with a home like vibe, very good food and drink selection and not too expensive.

Guinness is good and a great price

Love this place for cheap eats and a great place to grab a pint before the Carlisle Utd match!

I called in with my son to watch the F1 and get some lunch. When we walked in none of the screens had the F1 on. A lovely team member happily put it on a screen for us. I haven't been in for a long time and first impressions where how clean it was. It's a busy pub with it being so close to Brunton Park. But it is clearly looked after and very well run. The team members where extremely friendly and helpful. It had a really lovely feel the team members working where interacting with all the guests and making sure everyone was having a nice time and had everything they needed. We ordered two Sunday dinners they where tasty, well presented and good value for money. Today's visit exceeded expectations. We will definitely be returning.

Nice pub with nice food. Lovely service & friendly staff. Comfortable & clean. Nice atmosphere. Limited parking or road parking.

Great managers, staff and food ,nice friendly place dogs are welcome also get some great entertainment on from time to time

Great service and the food was good , recommended.

Very good food and value for money, quick service despite being busy. Parking not ideal but nothing the venue can do about that.

Fantastic family friendly local pub great atmosphere .Lovely friendly welcoming staff Kirstie was very friendly made our evening enjoyable and the food was fantastic highly recommend this pub.

Good place to relax and have good food

Excellent food, staff and reasonably priced. Dog friendly too which is great.

Great service from friendly staff and food was very nice

I cannot stress enough how great of a staff works at the Beehive, and how exceptional the atmosphere can be within their four walls. My party and I stopped in for a quick bite around lunchtime, and were welcomed back for dinner that very night. Our experience was so fantastic, we ended our following night's adventure by getting one last round at the Beehive. I would highly recommend this establishment for the food, the drinks, and the overall great experience.

We walked to the Beehive from the train station for lunch and well worth the walk. I had the best gammon and egg I've ever had. The lady behind the bar was so friendly and made us feel welcome. It was worth the effort and would certainly recommend a visit. We will definitely be going back.

Love this pub. Always great friendly staff and always great tasty pub grub! Good pool table and nice vibes.

Recently stayed in Carlisle. Going into the town we past this pub. Decided on 1. Ended up staying there. Good value drinks. Nice staff. The meal 2-1 deal was great value. Great food and decent portions! We ended up back the next night. Will come back if in Carlisle again definitely

This is my local, we come here most weeks for the quiz night and rock and roll bingo. Staff are always friendly and remember our usual drink order. I also come in sometimes for lunch with my son, who has additional needs, Kirsty always goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and welcome 🥰

Visited hear 29th June for a family meal with our family dog, a very warm welcome awaited us and food was gorgeous we will definitely return, very good quality tasty food at very reasonable prices and still had special offers on a Saturday when most other establishments take offers off in a weekend. Staff very friendly nothing a bother to them thank you for a lovely visit x

I was staying in a nearby B&B on Warwick Road. Popped in for a drink and glad I did. The team made me feel welcome, the food was good and the beer excellent. A thumbs up from me.

Food was fantastic. I don't drink but my friends loved the beer. The service was also very good and the workers there are very kind. It's a fun awesome atmosphere and a great place to sit down and eat and drink with friends while you watch a football game.

Food was tasty and good value for money. Service was quick even though it was busy. Nice relaxed atmosphere

Lovely pub. Great food. Excellent staff and service. Super dog friendly. Parking is a bit tight but we have got parked every time okay. New menu. But all over the above comments still apply. Really like this place. Tried a couple of wraps off the lunch menu which we had not seen before. Sweet chilli chicken wrap was tasty and the steak and cheese wrap wasn't sadly. It needed some sauce and the cheese slice was irrelevant adding no taste. Having said that, we love this place and the staff are really great.

The beehive is my local. I have never yet had a bad meal there apart from yesterday. Me and my frie d went at 2.30. I ordered cheeseburger the burger was tasteless like cardboard the bun not toasted but hard the chips were re heated. My friends scampi was warm mushy peas cold chips yet again re heated. Will not be back.

Great food, new additions to the menu were lovely! Too service as usual.

Good food pub, live sports on TV and a good selection of beer. Thursday night was quiz night. 👍

It's ok. The service from a particular young lady was excellent. Thank you.

Very enjoyable visit and the food was lovely.

Service and atmosphere was great, but £3 for a regular lemonade is shocking. It was cheaper for a pint of John Smiths!

Went for food and quiz night great clean pub it was very busy but service was spot on our meal arrived we both had chicken burger it was hot and very taste the quiz was well ran and for charity Kirsty was very friendly and made use feel welcomed but all staff are always friendly great pub great atmosphere

Went for the football and as an away supporter it could have been difficult. As it happens the Carlisle fans were very welcoming. Food was excellent and so was the beer. Staff and door security were brilliant 👏 Thanks Beehive 😊

The staff in the Beehive are exceptionally friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The pub is dog friendly but always clean and tidy. Food and drink is always of a good standard and at reasonable prices. It's an excellent pub.

Overall, happy with the visit to the Beehive. I picked a table where the waiting staff were constantly closely walking by, but that was due to lack of knowledge of the restaurant. The chicken was chewy, but the rest of the dish was lovely. I was served instant coffee and was not made aware of this, which was a shame. A few negative points there, but I left satisfied overall from a good, homely dining experience.

A group of around 20 of us come here for lunch for the 1st and last game of the season. Service, staff, and food are always excellent. Katsu chicken is my favourite!

My and my friends had a great time doing the Thursday night pub quiz along with the rock and roll bingo we also had food and was served by a great waitress called Kirsty

Only popped in for 1 but service great, quiz was on and sounded a good one

Great pub, food really good and definately value for money. The staff are really friendly, nothing is too much trouble and it has the bonus of actually being dog friendly rather than just allowing dogs. Definately worth a visit. I had the scampi and the apple & blackberry crumble and can recommend both.

Just had great lunch and drinks at the Bee Hive. Food great and and a long relaxing time meeting up with old friends. No pressure to leave and even the dog was catered for! Thank you

Had a great meal and a few drinks here last night. My lasagne was lovely. Everyone enjoyed their food. Was nice to sit and have a chat with friends/ family in a relaxed place. Busy at first from people who'd been at football, but it quietened down after a bit.

Absolutely brilliant place! We came yesterday as a family for my son’s 8th Birthday. The staff couldn't have been nicer! I had brought in a cake for him and they brought it out and he said it was the best surprise. He was so grateful he left the rest of the cake for the staff. We already can’t wait to come back. Food was 10/10 too.

We chose to eat at the Beehive as opposed to the Premier inn we were staying at. We did not book, it was busy, but the friendly staff found us a spot . There were multiple televisions which showed a football game, but the sound was off which made for a nice eating environment. Ordering was straightforward a, staff were attentive, food was delicious and to top it off as a great evening, it was pub quiz night in which we came 4th. Highly recommended.

"Our visit to The Beehive in Carlisle turned out to be a delightful dining experience during our short stay in the city. Situated conveniently down the street from our hotel and boasting excellent reviews, we decided it was the perfect spot for dinner. Despite the bustling atmosphere fueled by a football game, we were pleasantly surprised to find a table within seconds. The restaurant's family-friendly ambiance added to the welcoming atmosphere. What intrigued us most was the unique ordering system – menus were conveniently placed on each table, allowing guests to order and pay at the bar or through the app, a departure from the norm back home in Canada. While I appreciated the efficiency of this system, I found myself hesitating to order dessert to avoid a second transaction. As for the main course, we opted for the chicken and ham pot pie with creamy mash and the classic fish and chips with peas. My spouse couldn't stop raving about the pot pie – generously stuffed and bursting with incredible flavor, it left a lasting impression. My fish and chips were equally satisfying, with crispy batter and tender fish complemented by the savoury peas.

A great find in a residential area. Staff went above and beyond to enable us to get a table on a busy Thursday night. Then very attentive without being obtrusive. Whilst there were seven TV's in the pub all showing football, don't be put off. The punters were all very respectful, no rowdiness or shouting. The food was good pub food, reasonably priced and well presented. The quiz that followed was good fun and made for a good atmosphere.

Went in for a couple Guinness. Had fun wee song and dance then off back to my air bnb. Pleasure being in ther locals really friendly but I have to remember to speak English because my Scottish is not really audible over the border lol. Anyone visiting Carlisle should deffo have a wee pit stop in here

Great value grub ,friendly staff only a small car park.

Visited this establishment purely on speck with friends whilst visiting same. On arrival met by lovely lady who showed us to our table. Having perused the menu I went to place our order which was taken quickly and without the usual 20 questions regarding peas or mushy peas, salad or chips etc. Must point out at this point chips were actually chips . Drinks served whilst at bar good arrived fairly quickly and was spot on. Our lovely waitresses the customary check back and later cleared our plates before taking our dessert order. One of our party engaged in a lengthy chat with our and although obviously very busy she remained polite and interested in the conversation before others in our group rescued her . Four drinks, four meals and four desserts just under £80.00 excellent service very much appreciated. Thank You. Sorry didn't get our waitresses name but think it was Lily . You were fantastic. Has regular visitors to Carlisle rest assured we will be back.

We had a party of 22 people and, having pre-ordered our meals, everything ran really smoothly. Our meals arrived promptly and all at the same time. The staff were friendly and helpful and everyone enjoyed their food. Excellent service.

Brilliant that I could go for lunch with my dog. Water and treats provided free of charge

To Big a menu , the staff are friendly enough. Meal was ok but nothing to write home about.

First experience of Guinness 0.0 as well as my chicken burger being really good.

Very friendly staff good beer and enjoyed the pub

Nice place. Large pub with good seating, nice variety of seats, stools and table. Great friendly staff. Reasonable prices and good selection of food and drink.

Large bar opposite Carlisle F.C.Staff were very polite and friendly.Food & drinks service was prompt and the bar and toilet facilities were very clean and tidy .Food & beverages were very reasonably and fairly priced.

We spent a weekend in Carlisle and found the pub to have very friendly staff, we were made to feel welcome on each of our visits. Good selection of beer and food available. it's well worth a visit.

Great little place great people that run it and good staff

Great pub with a great lively atmosphere. Staff were very nice and accommodating. I decided to have dinner there while having a pit stop from the Xmas shopping. However I was to go back for dinner with my son. They gave me a table, the last one. Then I changed the numbers of dinners to 3 and even though they didn't have a bigger table, they found a way to accommodate us. Finally, I asked if we could turn up 1 hour earlier BC our plans had changed again. Once we turned up for dinner the staff told me that there was a table of 6 becoming available in 5 minutes if we didn't mind waiting. The service was very good, the cost reasonable and the food was very tasty, however the burger was quite dry. Dog friendly

We cannot fault the staff and service at this place, we booked a twixmas break with family and booked here for one of the nights food. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond for us.

I had a wonderful lunch with a good friend We always have gammon and chips it is delicious. Andy the chef has been there for over 25 years and his food is excellent. Christine who is the manager always makes you feel special as do all the staff I would highly recommend a visit to this very special pub

Excellent all round. Clean, plenty of space ,friendly staff and good food.

Had the gammon, absolutely loved it, couldn't fault it, staff lovely, and love the fact its pet friendly and you can treat them as well (susie) recommend a visit.

Monday lunch with a very good friend in this wonderful pub. I walked in said hello and was so pleased to see Kirsty when entering.My pint of Greene King IPA was pulled and waiting by the time I got to the bar she really is an absolute asset to Greene King. I’ve said this before but you really must visit this special special pub PA

Very welcoming and friendly, live sports and children welcome. Food is excellent value and great range of real cask ales including 2x Kirkby Lonsdale, Swan blonde, Green King IPA, and Ghangly Ghoul when we visited.

Great to find this hostelry close to where we were staying in Carlisle. Friendly place, welcoming staff and an excellent meal. Serving staff taking the time to ask if everything was OK and if there was anything else needed. Good to see that as it doesn't always happen in other places. Nice open plan bar, clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

I went here a few days back to back and tried many of there food options. All of them were good large portions that were cooked almost to perfection. While enjoying our food we were surrounded by an upbeat joyful atmosphere coupled with pleasent and engaging staff.

Dog friendly , good service friendly staff good choice off ale

Fantastic all round pub and service, highly recomend. If I could give mire stars I would, keep upnthe great work.

Popped in for a quick meal, the food and service were good, although the tables and chairs could have done with a bit more of a clean and there was quite a bit of old food about.

Good food. Layout very good as caters to many tastes...

Excellent friendly, prompt, service. Food was delicious and plentiful.

My son and i went here for a pre match lunch.upon our arrival i had made the booking for the wrong day , but a table was found .Our food was amazing 100% we will be back thank you beehive

Very friendly atmosphere this is one not to be missed excellent selection of; drinks

Having enjoyed a trip on the Settle to Carlisle railway, we were looking forward to a light lunch in Carlisle. The city centre was quite busy and so we decided to find somewhere on the city boundary. Having googled 'best pubs in Carlisle', the Beehive was listed and so we enjoyed a 15 minute walk to the pub. Once there, we were not disappointed - the landlady was really welcoming and it was a joy to have a decent pint of IPA up north! Fish and chip lunch followed - just what we needed. The bar area is a good size with plenty of tables and the service was very efficient. A good pub to visit - thank you!

I am gluten intolerant and it was not good, dry chicken, not enough bbq sauce on it and unable to have chips so had a disgusting lump supposedly mash. Odd colour, hard bits from over microwaving it, I also had a starter I had as a side dish of sweetcorn that was very nice

Crackin'. Great atmosphere, good beer, toppa food.

We celebrated my 70th birthday at the Beehive. Our group of 18 aged from 3 to 76 and we all had a great time and really enjoyed the food. The staff were friendly and efficient and all our meals arrived more, or less together and hot. Brilliant and great value.

My partner and I attended unplanned, realised this was a Greeneking pub so expectations were high as I'm a KM for GK in Manchester. We weren't disappointed, great piping hot food, looked amazing and tasted sensational, great seasoning. My mixed grill was vibrant, well presented with a perfectly cooked rump steak, my partner Michelle enjoyed her Scampi and commented on the generous portion. Well done Beehive, cracking.

just returned from a overnight stay in Carlisle, the Beehive is our local pub and once again we where made to feel so welcome. The staff are so friendly, the food is fantastic and we have never had a bad time there. Even had a game of Rock and Roll bingo and can`t believe it was so addictive. Many thanks to Chris and all the staff see you all in November

Great pub but very noisy on quiz night what do you expect. 😀

Just called in for a drink after a walk. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great pub with an excellent atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful 👍

Always an inviting, friendly atmosphere whenever I come with my son to watch the football. The food and drinks are always great and the staff are always amazing, especially Lisa and Hannah! Thank you!

We love spending our Thursday nights at the Beehive. The staff, food, drink, and atmosphere are fabulous. If you enjoy a quiz night and a few games of rock n roll bingo, then get yourself down there but make sure you get there early as the tables fill up fast.

Spot on. Friendly staff and dog friendly so what's not to love, our wee pooch got a right fuss and several treats. Deffo recommend

Came with my partner for the charity quiz and for a bite to eat. The Katsu chicken was amazing and there was more than enough food. His gammon looked tasty as well. Few drinks which were provided promptly and all the staff were lovely and cheerful. Will definitely be going again!

Brilliant night for quiz night and rock n roll bingo - special offer on the steaks - fab night!
