The Beehive Inn - Penrith — Restaurant in England

1 star is far too generous for The Beehive Inn! I’ve had far better meals at Morrisons Cafe. Called in the other day and before we entered the pub there’s ANPR logging you down for a £60 invoice from the carpark you’ve to enter your reg on the bar

Finally got into the pub to be met by stale dirty air and with a mixture of air fresheners and incense sticks mixed in. Was shown to a table what was sticky and all the varnish removed looked like a used chopping board and the chairs were all mix-match. The salt and pepper pots were covered in sticky grime and the vinegar had turned cloudy.

ordered at the bar after a wait for staff tapping away on their phones, pint of dark fruits couldn’t fault that 5 stars. Nice to see a open fire lit but the pub wasn’t benefiting from it as it was freezing.

Back at the table waiting for food which took 50 minutes to come out! Pub wasn’t that busy and only serving roasts. I’d noticed the restaurant & pool area was covered in unnecessary clutter from what I could see from the lack of lighting then noticed the ceiling was littered with dangling cables going here there and everywhere. Looked like it had been shut months with the amount of grime built up.

Finally to the luke warm beef roast! Large Yorkshire pudding 5 stars no issues, Roast Potatoes good just not a not enough, beef tasted like it was Asdas pre sliced out of a packet, two tough thin pieces with lumps of cartilage on the edges. Thin layer of stone cold mash Surrounded buy a pool of watery thin gravy with pools of oil separated on top.

The veg, cabbage, peas, carrot and possible turnips looked like it had just done an 1800rpm cycle in a washing machine filled with oil they were battered and oil logged and barely warm.

The cauliflower cheese was just vile, oil floating on top of some unknown thin white cheese sauce Liquid that didn’t taste or smell like cheese sauce, and had texture of a mixture of gone off fully skimmed watered down milk mixed up with the juice out of the bottom of the fridge.

I can see now why the table opposite had left most of their food and I felt sorry for the couple who sat down to eat when I was leaveing. As I was walking out the door I noticed someone was getting a refund for food that hadn’t been made due to a kitchen error and they had enough of waiting.

Ideal location, the pub was busy enough but it needs a refurb and some chefs that can actually get a good roast dinner out the door in less...

No organisation when going through the door ie order at the bar, take a seat we'll be with you in a moment. Waiting staff are young and not very confident which leads to vague interaction which is not an ideal quality when working in the customer service industry. Adults food was over priced compared to the quality not bad but just not worth it was about on par with weatherspoons but a burger and some overcooked chips with some frozen fries mixed among it but that won't cost you 12quid there. The kids meals were absolutely shocking £6.50 for 3 frozen chicken strips and a handful of frozen fries. Courtesy from waiting staff usually entails asking a few minutes after food has been served to check everything is OK and if there is anything else you need this never happened and it really needed to. Some issues could have been resolved there and then but rather the waiting staff preferred to be hanging around the bar area including what I presumed to be some sort of manager in a suit. The female Facilities had been trashed by some female members of the travelling community with broken toilet seats, sanitary pads and toilet paper having been strewn all over the gaff, which doesn't help genuine travellers reputation. The car park is like a building site and lines all over the place with no common sense applied to how multiple cars could possibly park in nearby spaces at...

Very disappointed 😞. I have been coming to this pub for the last 5 years since I bought a caravan on the near site. I visited with my husband and 2 friends on the off chance there was a table for 4 one afternoon recently, I didn't have a booking and payed cash so have no proof, I Spent £100 that day on food and a few drinks . Got home after a fab weekend and got a parking ticket for £100. Apparently you have to now put in your reg number on a machine at the bar... NO we didn't see the signs but we have been coming for so long why would we look????. Didn't think for one minute i would ever get a parking ticket in a pub Car park I am actually using as a customer and spending a decent amount of money there. The bar staff didn't prompt us either when we entered and we spoke to them. I was only in 3 weeks prior and didn't have to do that then. I phoned the pub they didn't want to know, not bothered said it was because other people are using their parking spaces and just said contact civil enforcement limited ... I did and appealed as the letter said and ....NO...they have not accepted the appeal no proof on the machine. Disgusting and sad really. your attitudes towards the matter have now lost you regular...
