Made a return visit to this pub last week to see what if any changes had been made with the new owners. Beers on were Brakspears Bitter, Oxford Gold and a Guest Ale from Windsor & Eton Brewery. I must say the Bitter was Exceptional. But Oh dear what has happened to the Decor? The ceiling has been painted Dark Pink (Which makes the Pub very dark). Also all the comfy seating has been replaced by oversized Church pews, many of them just wood and no padding. Juke Box has Gone (although the 2 TVs are still there with one being tuned to a National Radio Station). Outside the once nice Patio Furniture and Umbrellas has been replaced by a collection of misfit furniture that only can be described as potential firewood as it is well past is usage date. Change for the Better - Not on this showing! Compared with my previous visits The Bee seems devoid of its usual Regulars indeed and Customers at all.

R.I.P The Bee as we knew it for the last 14 Years. A new Broom (Cavalier Inns) has swept in and lost al lot of regular dedicated Customers within a week. How, by putting the prices up.
5p on Bitter (£3:40p a Pint)
15p on Guinness (£3:80p a Pint)
25p on Stella (£3:90 a Pint)
Having Drunk there sing 1st April 1999 it will be sad to leave................. Onward & Upward plenty more Pubs in the Street AVOID.

After being at the helm of this pub for 12 Years the current Landlady (Lynn) is leaving on April 23rd. Lynn and her family will be missed by all her friends and Regulars. I wish the new people well but Lynn will be a tough act to follow. She leaves behind a loyal band of staff, who I'm sure will ensure some form of continuity. Lynn I wish you well for the future and thanks for the last 12 memorable years, we have had some good times!. See you on the other side of the Bar.

we booked a family meal for ten at 8pm on a saturday night they charged us fifty pounds to make the booking on arrival at our table we were told one of the starters was off and to top it off they only had one steak left as the table next to us had ordered three steaks. very bad management to take a booking for ten people and not be able to honour the menu, final note food we did choose was very average.
|
Always made to feel welcome by the staff. lynn the landlady always makes sure there is good music playing which gets everyone singing and creates a good atmosphere! locals seem very nice, never seen any trouble in there. amazing how much food you get for the money. the food specials is wlays changing which is nice to see. apprently quiz night is back on Thursday nights. must go and try sometime. Good place to have lunch and also can be a very good night at the weekends

This is my Local and I agree with trose10 the Brakspears Bitter is usually Very Good as is the Pedigree. The staff are excellent too. I and four of my friends ate there on Saturday night and all had an excellent meal (Steaks). I am sure trose10 experience was a one off regarding the food and would urge them to give it another try.
|
poor food i orderd pork belly with a mustard sauce the sauce was thicker than birds custard (would not drop of my knife) and was coverd in it could not see the meat however i sent it back and got a ok burger would not eat there but the beer is good nice staff
|
not the bet pub by far made to feel unwelcome quite a REGULARS pub would rather go down the road to the Red Lion, better food,service and not as many drunks
|
Anyone on Facebook should go to discussion groups "The Bee at Burnham" & "Rubber Duck's Grand Tour" for more about this great Pub and the Regulars. Excellant Pint of Brakspears Best Bitter. This Pub now has Brakspears Special Back on. Excellant Friday night Last Night, Thanks to all the Staff especially the Two Lisa's

Only my second visit and what a great pub. Was there Saturday. Live music. Warm atmosphere. Great beer. The publicans are very friendly. Even though it was busy the barstaff were A1.
I took a walk up Burnham High St.and the pubs were dead. Not the Bee. Absolutley buzzing (no pun intended).
Long may this jewel in Burnhams crown continue.
Well done to all.

Great News, The Monday Quiz is Back by Popular Demand. D J John is there every Monday, with the Quiz Starting at 20:30. Get Down there!! Also the Bee has now introduced a Loyality Card giving 5% of ALL Drinks and Food. Beer Just as Good and Great Friendly Service. Recomended.
|
Nice Brakspears House (4 Different Hand Pump Ales always on including Brakspears Bitter and Hobgoblin). Busy on Fridays & Saturdays, Friendly well run pub with small Restaurant attached, ample parking. According to internal signs have recently introduced Loyalty Card offering 5% of All Food & Drink. Excellant Idea. Well worth a Visit if in the area or staying at a local Hotel.

Decent enough little pub - went in with a group of colleagues staying in a near by hotel. Three real ales on, all in good condition. pleasant barmaid/landlady and locals freindly.
|
all decent staff now all gone from brian and mark in the kitchen to keith on the bar.lynn and paul should move on now before they kill the pub off
|
A bad pint in here, and although quickly changed, didn't instill confidence. I will try again next time I am over this way and see how we fare.
