The Beehive, Welwyn Garden City

Further to my previous post, since the beehive has finally been revamped I have visited 3 times. First 2 times were good - beer well kept and food was good. last night went there for my birthday and whilst the beer was ok, the night could have been ruined by the food service - drinks order forgotten (I think the girl who took it finished her shift and left it), long wait to be asked for food order (and there were only 2 other groups in the restaurant). Staff seem more concerned about chatting to each other and I really do not want to know about their private lives, especially with my 10 year old daughter with me. The food was ok (they forgot my vegetables but they eventually arrived), but once again the signs are already there that the place is not going to be run correctly and allowed to drift down back into the mire it has been in for years. I will give it one more try again (perhaps its only when manager Gary is not about that the system falls down..?), but its such a shame that a potentially great place seems unable to be run right....

The Beehive, Welwyn Garden City

This has been my local for more years than I care to remember. It's such a shame that its gone so far downhill. Every six months or so I give it another go in the hope of improvement but sadly still no luck. Staff disinterested, beer very poor, surroundings shabby (I remember each refit in the last 25 years and never has it needed one more desperately).
