   Went here for the first time the other day. Lovely traditional pub. Shout out to Victoria for the warm welcome.

   The Beehive in Eltham isn’t trying to impress you with some over stylized gastropub nonsense. No Edison bulbs dangling from reclaimed wood, no £15 small plates pretending to be food. This is a pub. A proper, lively, elbows on the bar, stories in the walls kind of place. You walk in and immediately feel the hum a mix of laughter, the clink of pint glasses, and the comforting chaos of people who actually like being here. The staff? The kind of people who make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first pint. No pretense, just warmth and efficiency with a smile that says, you’re in good hands here, mate. And the Neck Oil let’s talk about that. A crisp, hoppy little number that doesn’t demand your attention but rewards it. One pint becomes two, maybe three. It’s a beer that tastes like conversation, like the kind of night where you lose track of time but gain a story or two. The Beehive is the kind of place that keeps London honest a reminder that the best spots aren’t polished within an inch of their lives. They’re lived in. They’re loved. And this one? Worth the trip.

   Visited the area over the weekend 17th to 20th Jan to see my son who recently moved nearby... The pub doesn't do food but landlady and all bar staff were great, really friendly and efficient. Good prices. We both felt like regulars by the Sunday night. It's a lovely building too and kept imaculate by the staff who polished the bar each night. I'll definitly be going back when I'm in the area.

   I stopped in her one lunchtime while waiting for you car’s mot test to be done. Frankly I wish I had not bothered. It is a dismal place. No real ale - only beerless pumps stand sadly on the bar. I was forced to take a Guinness. It was almost empty, which was a good thing, as this place is renown for a somewhat unfriendly and aggressive clientele. Never again!

   Attended a funeral here. Nice venue, friendly, welcoming staff. Entertainment weekends available. Car park available at back of pub. Blossoms cafe provided food for wake hot and cold choices. Gave four stars as the ladies' toilet needs a lock on the door as broken. It's definitely worth visiting.

   A great pub with a good atmosphere. A good selection of beers and wine. A range of foods to choose from too.

   I asked for a quote for a wake, I spoke with Fiona. I was told £10 per head. When I phoned to book for 10 people I was told it was £150! When I queried this Fiona said she could do it for £130, the costs were due to the extra staff she'd need. I had enough to do so booked anyway, I wish I hadn't. The area we were given was nice, at the end of the bar out of the way of everyone else. There was one girl behind the bar, so NO extra staff. I don't think any soft drinks were included in the cost, if they were we didn't get any. There was a pump flask of hot water for tea or coffee on a tiny table. It's not acceptable to provide a flask of hot water at a wake in a quite pub. The buffet savouries were mostly ok but the sandwiches looked like they'd been thrown at the platter, the tiny sausage rolls were very poor quality but worst of all was the cake stand contents. On top was a sliced Swiss roll, in the middle was rich tea biscuits. Who does rich tea biscuits as a sweet at a wake?! On the bottom layer was half a dozen bourbons and half a dozen custard creams. This was Lazy, poor quality and a rip off. If you're considering a wake there, don't presume Fiona will provide a decent spread.

   Nice pub for a meet up with mates if you're over 25. Nicely decorated and serves some nice booze. DJ of a weekend is a good way to end a nice afternoon then into the night. Barmaids need to be a little more attentive as few people were waiting to be served while they were grouped together chatting. They were lovely though. Toilets were clean which is always good to see anywhere. Overall a nice place to go.
