The beehive is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some high quality ales and ciders. The welcoming atmosphere created by the friendly staff and make it a must go to venue. The Beehive is more than worthy… of the accolades it has received and it quite rightly and deservedly one of the best Pubs in Norwich. Keep up the good work Alex and the team.

Called in here today with my dog to get shelter from the horrible weather, was made to feel so welcome by the lovely girl behind the bar. Just had a couple of pints of ‘Canary Premier’ which was an excellent beer at a good price. Will definitely return when back in this area.

Real ale and cider spot. Has been running beer fests of it's own and has a burger hut at the back only open a few days. Decor questionable. Parking for around 8 cars at the front.

Great local pub. With well kept ale. On Fridays the most amazing pies & sausage rolls are available (the locals buy the pies to take home to go with mash & veg)

Lovely warm and friendly locals pub, with an open fire in the bar and a separate lounge. Nice outside seated area where charity BBQs are held from time to time. Good pub food served at lunchtimes and a good real ale selection at all times!

Probably the best pub on south side of Norwich. The real ale is top drawer and has live folk music on the first Tuesday of every month. Quiz night every Wednesday. The end of week pies are to die for and the staff know their stuff on beer. All run by the lovely Alex.
