The Beehive Inn in Mid Suffolk

It is really nice and quiet and the staff were really nice and kind and the drinks are really good

The Beehive Inn is amazing, we are on holiday and staying in a cottage very close, the food is amazing, the staff are very friendly when we come back here we will definitely return to the Beehive Inn💫

Anniversary meal that was just perfect. Lamb shank cooked to perfection, nice log burner that set the scene. Service and staff lovely. Just perfect.

Lovely country pub, great staff, good food

Great beer - added bonus of great cannoli too!

Liked this place very much, but most people seemed to feel the same..lovely weather so it was packed so service a little slow... full of old world charm and pretty decent food...🐈🐱🐈‍⬛

Quaint village pub serving 3 hand pulled ales. Serves food and a has a small community shop. 🍻 🐝

Very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Food was so good and prices good too.

Local pub; super good food & amazing selection for vegetarians.

Little gem , great food in a perfect peaceful location.

Enjoyed a good few late lunches here, lovely setting and plenty of parking. Easy accessible doors and a lonely homely spot

I should have known when I was offered mozzarella to top my pasta because they had run out of parmesan. Also, the menu described items as “dirty” or “loaded”. I’m surprised they didn’t offer burnt ends, pulled pork or bao buns. My pasta arrabbiata was made with sweet and sour sauce. They took it back and replaced it with one made with sweet and sour sauce and a bit more chilli. The server checked whether it was OK this time and I’m sorry to admit I meekly said that it was. I tried to convince myself, to no avail. It was inedible. My wife had a passable piece of chicken which, along with my cowardly failure to let them know I remained hungry and unhappy, elevates the score to ‘poor’. It came with strange white oven chips and a coagulated phlegm-like stilton sauce, presumably thickened with cornflour. And while we’re at it, the servers kept ignoring my attempts to pay the bill so I had to chase one down. However, it was a lovely sunny evening.

Fantastic food. Reasonable prices. Dog friendly! Book ahead for food. They can be busy. But totally worth going!

We arrived with a party of 9 + 1 cockapoo on a Wednesday night. The place was packed which is always a good sign. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. All our party enjoyed the meal and the dog was well looked after. The Landlady and Chef clearly know what they are doing. Many thanks for a great evening. Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly staff and atmosphere. Plenty to choose from on the menu,caters for all tastes. I have not been there for a long time as I moved from the area and was not disappointed with my experience.As good as I remember

We stopped here briefly for a pint after a walk and loved the place. Nicely decorated, very friendly staff, good beer. We didn't have time to stay for a meal which was a shame, but at least we tried the Pistachio Cannoli and they were delicious.

Absolutely brilliant. Food, ambience and staff excellent. We are on holiday in Whaley and met my cousins by accident. 5 gorgeous meals

Food was delicious and really good portion sizes

Much better of late. Hearty, tasty food and service are top class. Long may it continue!

Great little pub,homemade food, and great menus with daily specials. Nice beers..Great service and outside seating, especially on a nice sunny day

Lovely little pub - great food (plus great variety on the menu) and great value.

Very good food and good service plus good value

Our food was the best we have ever had in a pub. However, we have to say that Kaz who works there made our afternoon. She was outstanding!!!! A real pleasure and the reason we will go back.

3 Sausage Mustard Mash veg and pea shoots yummy. 14 quid. But comes in a big dish, not on a plate.

Really lovely food, very nice atmosphere

Great food, lovely friendly staff. Cute little country pub

Stumbled upon this place during an early morning hike and wished we hadn't already had breakfast. Busy, friendly, pretty, and inviting, we looked enviously at the breakfasts being served to the other table. Took a look at the menu, and everything looked scrummy and reasonably priced. We had soft drinks and ice creams on a beautiful summer morning, and I also bought local honey and biscuits from the integral shop, plus some venison dog treats. We all agreed that we will be coming back next time we're in the area.

Visited for Sunday lunch 23/6 and evening meal 24/6. Absolutely excellent friendly service and excellent food in this lovely small Inn. The village is an absolute must to visit. It is called Combs in Derbyshire but pronounced Coombs. Also walk down dead end lane to left of Inn and you will see the best ever Cottage Garden my wife and I have ever seen.

Fantastic food with so many tempting items on the menu. Great beer and the service was really good too. Can’t wait to return.

Great food and very friendly atmosphere

Great food and great beer. Add in the location and you cant lose

lovely food, friendly staff ... will call again .👍👍😊

We visited this pub whilst at the local campsite for my father’s birthday! We arrived 7:00 and had wonderful meal with excellent service! Somehow we were there till closing and could not have been treated with more care. Thanks to the ladies behind the bar who never seemed to mind chatting to us and the young gentleman who served us. The staff here are great and the cute farmers shop was great.

Absolutely fabulous pub. Amazing service and top notch food. All the staff are brilliant. Never disappoints.

Excellent traditional country pub - efficient and friendly service . Good value supper and plenty of veggie options - has a specials board - generous portions .

Best in town. The food is very nice. You will enjoy the sun while sitting outside.

Nice, idyllic pub with good food and beer.

I was absolutely disgusted at the Customer Service earlier. I am a walker and has called a day previously due to the beautiful weather and got charged £6.95 which is standard off a very sociable bar lady that was petite and had bobbed hair and lilac nails for a small bottle of Prosecco. I called this afternoon and had £7.20 on me to give them a tip to be informed that a small bottle of Prosecco is £8.50. I obviously quibbled this to have the afore mentioned bar lady leaving the bar leaving me with a young bar lady that looked about 14 and an older brunette informing me that if I hadn't brought a bank card to cover the rest it was going to come out of their tips... Needless to say I took my money back which was also passed back to me like I was a Vagrant and I had my solo drink at The Hanging Gate and indeed a small Prosecco is £6.95 in there. Enough said. I shall not be revisiting!!!!

Great breakfast after a muddy dog walk. Bonus gluten free sausages

Came up for the bank holiday for a few days, whereby we had one night to eat out and, in all honesty, I’m so glad we picked here and just about managed a table too! So worth booking ahead. Although parking is limited right outside, there is a bigger car park around 10 seconds walk if you turn left out of the pub then on the right just up the road - literally seconds away. We spent around £70 on two people, which covered two fantastic meals (beef lasagne was insanely good), two larges glasses of wine and two desserts. Inside was very retro and in-keeping with the local aesthetic which I always appreciate. Really fantastic food and even better service - food came out within 5-10 minutes piping hot and tasting delicious as you’ll see by the photos! It was raining too, but there’s a little outdoor section which is protected by a glass roof and has electric heaters on standby - perfect for fresh air but protection from the elements. Can’t wait to come back here! Side note - there’s also a little ‘tuck’ shop of sorts to the side of the bar, selling jams and other little things. Beautiful all round, it has to be said.

Come here often, but not often enough. Food and staff absolutely great.

30 of us booked a meal together at the Beehive and they were absolutely excellent. They had plenty of staff and manged the group really well taking drinks orders from individuals at the table. Everyone's food arrived promptly and they were all piping hot. The food was lovely and service was friendly and very helpful. I really couldn't fault them and would definitely recommend.

Loved it- great staff, so helpful, even made up a special pizza so we could share it with grandchild - it was delicious!! They were brilliant with our dog too- thank you

Excellent quality food service was great loved it wasnt sure what was there to eat nobody recommended we'll be back again soon

Lovely atmosphere, great food, excellent service and great local pint. All round lovely experience.

Excellent food and good selection of beers. Friendly service.

On the first visit, we walked in, three adults and a dog.They have an area for dogs but the tables were occupied. The staff very kindly offered an alternative table. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was great quality and good portion sizes. Salt and pepper chips were delicious! Decided to visit again and reserve a table. Again, staff were brilliant. All enjoyed our meals. Lovely little gem of a place. Will definitely return.

Cute little pub nice stop off after going on a walk with my daughter & dog had a breakfast & coffee service was gd food was served hot & quickly staff were polite & efficient

Great welcome. Good food and drink after walk over from Whaley Bridge.

Lovely peak district pub. Friendly locals and in a superb position for walking and other outdoor activities.

Good food Nice fire Integral farmshop Nice staff

Fabulous food and service for my mums 88th birthday . Food absolutely delicious, my brother and I had one of the specials which was a beautifully cooked pork chop with a mushroom stroganoff sauce and was sooo good . Sauce was very well flavoured and chop was tender but cooked through . Every one of our meals was well presented, hot and totally delicious . The service was welcoming and we had a really enjoyable afternoon . We will definitely be back .. Next time just me and the other half .. in a taxi .. and make the most of the good beer and wonderful food 😋

Exceptional experience for a veggie coeliac. Highly recommended

Local pub full of local people, great atmosphere, food and service excellent. Dog friendly.

One of the best pubs I have been too. great with dogs, water and treats provided. Will be coming here again.

Lovely breakfast wonderful service

Lovely quaint pub with a little farm shop inside selling local products. We we're camping down the road so this was great to have on our doorstep for a hot meal and somewhere comfortable to sit. Excellent service.

Out for a day out and looked for somewhere for lunch locally , found the beehive , decided to give it a go . Lovely surroundings and interesting drive (due to sat nav ) there is an easier way in ! Being bank holiday Monday it was busy and we was lucky to get a table as a walk in , Staff were friendly from the minute we walked through the door and managed to accommodate us ! The meal was superb , reasonably priced and the service was really quick and efficient , we could not fault the quality of the food was excellent , the staff all very friendly and we was amazed considering how busy they were that the food was presented quickly and with a smile , Menu was extensive and even our soon to be teenager was impressed ( which does not happen very often ) The place had a great atmosphere and even had a mini farm shop inside , which I wished we had taken a look at and took home some local produce . But the fact we never gives us a reason to go back . Lovely outside area as well which I’m sure will be a favourite for walkers etc in the summer . Hidden gem we are so pleased we found Well worth a trip out from Manchester for something different Thank you for a superb bank holiday lunch

Thank you so much to the staff who made my friend feel comfortable after she had a fall on our walk by giving her an ice pack and reserving our table even though we were late due to the issue we faced on our walk. Very accommodating thank you. The Brie and bacon sandwich was lovely also.

I eat regularly at the Beehive....the food is consistently of a very high standard..I was accommodated without notice on Wednesday circa 5pm when they were booked up...it was my daughter's birthday who lives away . the food and service was superb..Thankyou.

We've eaten at the Beehive many times in the past and it never disappoints. Staying locally we've eaten there 3 times this week, and the choice and quality of food, service and ambience have been as good as ever. It's one of our favourite places to eat and I just wished we lived closer so we could visit more often. Looking forward to next time.

Visited for a Saturday lunchtime celebration and although very busy (there was a separate party of 20) the service and attention by the staff was 1st class. The meals we had were excellent and the desserts on another level. Would definitely recommend, but booking is essential.

Always super service and delicious food!

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very nice.

Nice pub but had better food elsewhere, mash was lumpy and more like a half cooked jacket potato with the skin taken off, peas were stone cold the minute they were served. Doubt I will go back there, 2 stars for being dog friendly.

Amazing place to eat and the staff are so friendly. The food was outstanding and there was a lovely atmosphere. Parking is a little bit tight but worth it.

Great food & drink, traditional style country pup. We were able to eat their with our dog too! Bonus.

Heard good reviews about this pub years ago. Finally got there after a walk up Eccles Pike yesterday. Not disappointed. Lovely food and beer.

Had a wonderful 2 experiences at this pub. First off, the service is excellent 👍. Very attentive and efficient. 2nd, the food is wonderful. Big portions and really tasty. Some great keg and cask beers and an awesome little shop inside for a sweet extra treat or just a bit of light shopping (think corner shop).

Called in on spec on a Friday evening. They managed to squeeze us in - but it was a tiny space. Food was good. Service was quick. Selection was broad, given that one of us is veggie. Stout, hearty, English pub food, safe but sound choices. Would be happy to eat here again as we have done many times before. Nothing astounding - but sometimes comfort food is the answer...

Had a huge ploughman's lunch .. a little overwhelming. But a good selection of cheeses, pickles and gorgeous ham. Efficient staff and cozy surrounds. Left with a good impression and a truckload of leftover cheese 🧀😃

We came here for lunch , I didn't think we would get a table but we were lucky. We arrived and were seated and served drinks. The whole restaurant was full. We ordered and waited, not very long to be fare considering how full it was. The food came out very hot and well presented, it's was fresh and very tasty. Not expensive at all. Very nice food very nice staff. Something for everyone on the menu for everyone worth every penny.

Food was excellent, as was the service. Definitely recommend.

Great beer and a roaring fire to drink it infront of. Very rosy cheeks

Beautiful food with very efficient staff .. lovely

I can't praise this enough. A group of 20 of us went there to celebrate a friend's birthday after a walk. I arrived on time and was well looked after. The group were a little late but no concern was shown by staff. How they got food out more or less at the right time was amazing. Waiters were calm and helpful. I can't wait to go again.

Food is great, staff are very friendly and helpful, I would recommend this to anyone to try this Pub

Lovely pub lovely food highly recommend

Very good meal. Service very good and very pleasant towards the children. Cosy, warm environment. There were 6 adults 1 teen and three small children and we all enjoyed a lovely pre Christmas get together. I recommend this pub it caters for all ages and We will certainly go again.

Love this place, amazing food and service. What's not to like. It never disappoints.

Excellent food, friendly staff, comfortable surroundings. We often go to the Beehive.

Really nice food and beer. Great halfway point if you're walking between hills or towns. Very steep walk up out and over to Buxton or Dove but amazing views.

Service was excellent, menu varied and quality of feed served cannot be faulted. We would not hesitate to go back again soon. My Dad does not have a big appetite and they kindly offered half of his meal as a takeaway. Good beers on tap and little shop with some local produce also. Thoroughly recommended.

What an amazing meal. Christmas meal was absolutely gorgeous and fantastic value too. Loads of menu choices. Staff incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. Should definitely be on your list of places to try.

A nice warm welcome to our walking group on a very wet day.

I went for lunch with a couple of friends. We all had great food. They catered very well for gf. It was busy but we received our food in a timely manner and the two ladies waiting on were very friendly and helpful. In a nutshell we all really enjoyed our afternoon.

Quick service, food was brilliant and very friendly staff.

Well worth the visit ..wheelchair friendly..

Fab place, great food and always enjoyable

Amazing gluten free food at a good price. Very good service and waiters, very kind and caring. They accept dogs and have plenty of vegan options. Their shop inside has a never ending list of dog treats and the food is just so good and mouthwatering. The waiters check up on you and provide excellent answers and questions to all your needs. The people who eat there are very accepting and friendly, a good place for all ages.

After calling in a Robinson pub down the Rd with a bizarre Mexican menu, we found the beehive and very glad we did too, fantastic food, cosy fire, excellent pint of wainwright's. 10 out of 10

Great food and friendly helpful staff

Great food and staff and good prices.

Very good food at reasonable prices.Pleasant staff and good atmosphere

Came here whilst staying at a campsite up the road. We arrived late ans called ahead. Really friendly staff told us not to stress and get here when we can. Wainwrights was spot on. Great little hidden gem .Food was great , huge portions and fire was welcoming. We will definitely be back.

nice staff. good beer. very good food

We returned to The Beehive for another visit after five years. Little has changed in respect that the staff, surroundings, and service remains top class. The Inn is a mixture of local folk who socialise, whilst guests and diners are made to feel welcome by the staff. Those who dine have their own area inside, or, should you choose, can dine outside. We found the "Standard" menu was what you would expect from similar establishments, and so went with the specials menu. We were not disappointed, with a main meal and dessert well cooked, and well portioned. combined each meal working out around £25. Phone ahead to book a table is our advice, because during certain times of the year, it is bound to be busy. Ad hoc guests are welcome, but you could be disappointed if you were looking for more than just a drink.

Great pub with good food and ale. Parking can be tricky when it's busy (which is most of the time!)

During our stay at combs valley campsite we booked in to eat at The Beehive. I’ve got to say that it’s up there with the best meals we’ve ever had in a restaurant. All home cooked to perfection and very reasonably priced. I was very pleased to see a Thornbridge brew on tap also. After the excellent evening meal we returned the following morning to have an equally excellent breakfast. Thank you,we’re definitely going to be back.👌🏻

This was the best pub lunch or indeed any restaurant lunch we have had in a very long time. Superb roast beef and lamb shank both perfectly cooked with a host of fresh vegetables, Yorkshire pud and tasty gravy. Fantastic value for money compared with many others and the young serving staff were attentive, alert and very pleasant. Highly recommended. Good idea to book as it is obviously popular but not overcrowded.
