We’re proud to serve The Beehive - one of the best gastropubs in the country, who have just scooped 11th place in the Top 50 Gastropubs Awards. It’s run by chef Dominic Chapman, who has previously worked in Michelin-starred establishments such as The Hind’s Head in Bray, on behalf of Heston Blumenthal, and Royal Oak in Payley. Watch a video of our recent visit here.
