About The Beehive
The Beehive is a pub on Union Street in Sheffield, open every day of the week. The kitchen runs to about 70 dishes, with the steak and ale pie appearing regularly as a large homemade slice stuffed with beef. Portions run large enough that diners sometimes can't finish them, and a Sunday roast is served on Sundays. A private dining room accommodates larger groups, and dogs are welcome throughout the pub. Walk-ins are seated as tables allow, while large parties have been placed in an upstairs room with waiter service. The bill is settled at the bar rather than at the table.

Customer Review Summary
The steak and ale pie draws the most consistent praise, reviewers repeatedly describing the beef as melting in the mouth and the portions as large, alongside strong mentions of the prawn saganaki and sweet chilli chicken starter. Sunday roasts and homemade desserts also come up frequently, with several noting generous portion sizes and friendly, attentive staff who check on drinks and food. Close behind the praise sits a real split in experience: multiple diners describe slow service, being left to pay unattended at the bar, or a server who didn't ask about allergies despite one guest having one. A few describe a decline, with one reviewer served a sea bass swimming in sauce with miniscule portions and unmelted Biscoff on a cheesecake, and another turned away from an empty section on a booked birthday visit to a dirty, dingy table. Most seriously, one reviewer reports a bout of food poisoning after eating chicken, confirmed as campylobacter by a doctor, and describes an unhelpful response from management when they called about it. Several reviewers say they'd return, and one recommends the steak and ale pie specifically.

“Absolutely gorgeous food Service outstanding, lovely friendly staff from waitress to chef Had to take food home great portions Nice relaxed atmosphere The whole place was spotless, staff all well presented Thank you 🙏”

“Absolutely fantastic experience! We had a great mix of food and everything was spot on. The chips were incredible, the BBQ chicken wrap was packed full of flavour, and the steak pie was huge. The fish batter was perfectly done, light and crispy. And the homemade desserts… WOW. Definitely worth a visit 👌🏾”

“A terrific pub to go and eat. Very modern on the inside whilst retaining the charm of a stone pub on the outside. We managed to get a table as walk ins. During busy times a quick call to check table availability is recommended. There is seating available near the bar on 'posers tables'.Excellent selection of beers and lagers. The menu has a great selection and nice unusual dishes on offer. The portion sizes were to big for us to finish. Very friendly and attentive staff. A credit to the Beehive. Definitely to and visit.”
- Suzanne Kelly
“Excellent lunch today, large portion sizes and good value on the lunch time menu. Friendly staff and good service. I go most Friday lunch times with my dad who is Coeliac. Good range of gluten free dishes and beers available.”

“DO NOT EAT HERE - FOOD POISONING!!! I ate here last week, chicken to be specific, a few hours after eating I became increasingly unwell! Test result from DR confirmed campylobacter, aka food poisoning!!!! I have been so unwell and still recovering a week later. Tried to do the decent thing and call to let them know rather than leave a bad review and I was met with the most rude general manager I’ve ever had the displeasure of speaking with. Answers back such as ‘what do you want us to do’ ‘we’ve had no reports of anyone else being ill’ ‘we have 5 star food hygiene’ - well you clearly don’t… Didn’t even offer a refund!! Instead I was offered a voucher to come back in like I’d ever step foot in this place again. Reported to the council for food hygiene issues 👍🏼 disgusting!!!”
