    A week after our party, and our guests are STILL talking about how delicious the food was. We booked the Beehive as caterers for a private function in our home (65 people). Needless to say they were absolutely incredible. Extremely clean and hygienic, 10/10 tasty food (they catered to the different dietary requirements of all our guests so well) and they made sure everything looked great in the process (they set up our buffet-style table gorgeously, and helped us with a champagne coupe fountain). A special shout out to Chloe and Jess, with the help of Rose and Michelle, who all worked hard to make our evening a memorable one. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

    We decided to try this pub on a Thursday night for a small family dinner as we’re fairly local and had never been. Also it is pet friendly so we could bring our dog along, which is always nice. The menu has a little of everything and I was pleasantly surprised to see that I could get a burger with a gluten free bun!. The salt and pepper squid was cooked just right and seasoned well, which was lovely. The baked truffle Camembert was delicious. The burger was cooked well and flavorful- it’s basically 2 thinner burgers (instead of 1 big one) so the meat is well seasoned and cooked nicely altho with the 2 patties it is very filling and couldn’t quite finish it. Also had the minute steak which was also cooked nicely and flavorful. Finally we had the sticky toffee pudding which was divine. Unfortunately don’t have pics of everything we ate as some of it was gobbled up quickly before pic could be taken, sorry! Overall very satisfying meal and the ambience is warm and homely, staff are friendly…great local find. Will be back!

    Always a nice place to call in. Staff are lovely. Prices are not cheap but the wine is very good. Recent visit this weekend was great. Had a birthday celebration. It could not have been nicer. Had beautiful food for our party. Sat in the garden, although there was a children's Easter party going on it did not interfere with our own party. Fabulous magician doing close up Magic tricks was an extra entertainment that we weren't expecting. All together a wonderful afternoon. Grateful thanks to Michelle and all her staff.

    Beautiful pub with excellent and friendly service. Food was fantastic - especially the belly pork. Very welcome after a 2 hour horse ride in Windsor Great Park.

    I finally managed to get to this lovely family run pub to try their new menu and it didn’t disappoint. It was flavour packed, warming and full of textures and contrast from the first bite to the last. Michelle, Jess and Sally were brilliant and I’ll definitely be back.. and they’re dog friendly!

    I came today for a roast with friends, I had the lamb it was absolutely delicious the meat literally fell off the bone! All the veg and potatoes tasted amazing, staff very attentive and couldn't do enough to help, even got us a highchair for the little one! Washed it down with afew guinness and topped it off with a toffee pudding for dessert! 10/10 can't wait to pop back

    We went to The Beehive for lunch as a 7 today, 3 adults 4 children. Just wanted to say thank you. The food was so scrummy and amazing service. The children’s little activity packs were so so sweet and nice to see went beyond a colouring page. We are excited to plant our seeds tomorrow! What was particularly nice was that there was a very decent children’s menu aside from a roast, which wasn’t overly ambitious but still of great quality. Roast potatoes were bangin!!! 5 ⭐️Will definitely be heading back

    I adore this place! It always feels like family greeting you and the pub quiz is really fabulous. The burger is amazing and I especially love the halloumi fries 😍 there is a gorgeous garden seating area and they even have a little gazebo area. Cannot say enough good things

    Very quiet pub on a Saturday afternoon. Now I know why. We moved indoors with our 1 year old baby to one of the tables at the back of the pub. After 10 minutes an older blonde woman with glasses (assuming the manager) told us to move to a table that was booked. Not sure how we would know as there was no reservations sign on the table. We were taken aback as this was not polite, she rambled across the pub and in a manor you would accept in front of your kids. We sat at a small table in front of the bar and got glared at instead. We left without finishing our drinks. The younger staff member seemed embarrassed. It is a shame as the garden is great but seems the management are scaring people away. We are local and would recommend the barley mo instead. Amazing service and always family accommodating! It still amazes me after the pandemic the service level in some local places are this bad.

    Huge fan of this pub! Many thanks to all the team for providing a fantastic burger and cocktails night for our big group of 18, in the covered outdoor area. The food was great, and everything felt really covid safe. Highly recommend!

    The pub was lovely, the ambience great, the service warm, welcoming and attentive. The food was abysmal, overpriced, mean, stale flatbread, overcooked and hard, a couple of blobs of yoghurt and a scattering of cherry tomatoes. The smoked trout was almost missing from the plate - a tiny smattering, no dressing. 9 pounds?!! I was robbed!

    Second year of popping in here the night before Ascot. Very pleased to say just as good as last year, no idea why I didn't review then ! Anyway, warm welcome, nice wine list & our food was tasty, hot, well presented and I must recommend the ice cream sundae - delish with loads of fruit ! Plenty more I'd like to try off the menu, so we'll be back, maybe tomorrow night after the races lol ! Also liked how the outside eating area had been done up &, I personally, think it adds to the area considerably. Great value for money Definitely recommended ⭐️

    Sat outside for a pint and we were chatting to the owner. Apparently the pub does a very good Sunday roast and is always booked up. There's not many tables inside but on a sunny day you can sit outside as there's plenty of room there.

    I’m giving it all 5 stars eventhough it could be better because nothing is perfect right? Example the service could be better because the girl looked shell shocked when we arrived and said I’ve booked a table for 3. Even our son noticed it and kept asking us why was she surprised as he could see our names in the book. But after that a lady of age was super nice. Top notch customer service. Atmosphere should just be 4.5 because it’s a bit shabby chic inside and out. However, perhaps that’s the charm. It’s cosy. It’s ok. Food - this is where they excelled. I went there because of the reviews. It’s very very good. We had 2 starters, tea for 2, 3 mains and 1 dessert. With tip, just under £96. So not bad. I’d definitely recommend the beetroot salad with goats cheese. It has hazelnuts in it. The burger came medium rare so ask if you’d like it cooked more. We weren’t asked but we also forgot to ask. Everything - delicioso!!

    An extremely tasty Sunday lunch at the Beehive in Egham. Scotch egg starters were thoroughly enjoyed by all, perfectly cooked and wolfed down by everyone at the table. Main course was roast beef dinner for everyone. The beef was succulent, juicy and a real treat. Roast potatoes were cooked to perfection and exactly to my taste by being extra crispy with a light fluffy inner. The only disappointment was that there was no room on the plate for an additional yorkshire pudding... seriously these babies barely lasted a minute on my plate.. again cooked to absolute perfection.. simply not enough of it for my greedy disposition 😉 Cauliflower cheese was lovely with al dente florets, as were the runner beens. I'm not keen on parsnips or carrots but my partner soon hoovered those up. The gravy was plentiful, tasty and a great accompanyment to a truly brilliant Sunday Roast. Dessert was a mixture a brioche doughnuts and rum n' raisin ice cream. Completely full now and definitely in need of a good long walk. Well done everyone.

    This was my first time at The Beehive. We were a party of four adults for a late Saturday lunch. We loved the ambience and all commented that it felt intimate and cosy, as if we were having lunch in someone's home. That was one of my favourite things about the venue. We all had three courses and drinks (I was driving so was on the 0% alcohol beer). Everyone was really happy with the food, which ranged from scallops, beetroot-cured salmon, burrata and prawn cocktail starters, through mains of flat iron steak, wild mushroom gnocchi and the excellent rotisserie chicken to chocolate mousse and sticky toffee pudding desserts. The chips that came with three of the four mains were some of the best I've ever had. Service was really friendly and attentive and we had a treat and water provided for our dog. I love finding gems like this and The Beehive is now on my shortlist for a return.

    We met for a birthday celebration meal, organising a get together for 15 people this close to Christmas is always challenging. Credit to Jess & her team for accommodating us, the food was excellent, the atmosphere festive & service exemplary. A great evening was had by all courtesy of the team at the Beehive, thank you.
