General: The Bee pub/restaurant

theBee

We’ve been wanting to go to The Bee for a while now, but have never quite got the chance until now…

We went Wednesday lunchtime so was not very busy.   Despite being a hot day, it was a pleasant temperature inside.   Service was adequate, given the ratio of staff to customers, with a small hiccup being that the drinks order was slightly incorrect (Lynn got a pint rather than a half)

The menu was a little limited and this seems to be a key feature of this venue… i.e. the menu changes daily so you are kind of taking pot luck on what choice of food you will get.   None of the starters appealed to either of us, so went straight to the main course. 

The food arrived in reasonable time and was very well presented and certainly tasted good. 

The limitations of the menu scuppered our enjoyment again as none of the deserts appealed either, so that was the end of our lunch !

I was a little disappointed by our experience, due to the limited menu choice.     It also seems if you really enjoy something you stand little chance of being able to order it next time either.    I guess if you were a regular visitor you would find the changing menu a good thing, but for me it just meant I wasn’t able to have a complete meal !

Overall, there was nothing to really complain about as such, but not sure I would risk going there again in case there is nothing on the menu I like!
