About Us

The Beehive has been a Bristol institution for almost 150 years, serving the population of North Bristol and beyond. The current owners Dawn and Rufus Roberts and Paul James took over the reins in September 2014 and oversaw a dramatic redevelopment of the pub in early 2018 which has seen it transformed into a fantastic place for socialising, dining and relaxing in a great family friendly environment.

We have a simple aim - to deliver good old-fashioned hospitality in a modern setting that leaves each and every customer feeling welcome and appreciated.

The pub has now been opened up into one large airy space, but has subtly been divided into areas where you can relax with a glass of wine, enjoy a pint with friends, select a meal from our new and exciting menu or just have a coffee and cake.

The pub can easily be divided to provide a space room for private use, and with a capacity of circa 80 people it can cater for any event including weddings, business meetings, birthdays and anniversaries - just contact us and we will cater for your individual needs.

In the majority of cases we will not even make any charge for the hire of the room. One of the main advantages of using the Beehive for your event is the ease of parking provided within our well lit car park.

Due to our close proximity to Canford Crematorium we specialise in hosting wakes and events to remember the lives of loved ones who have recently passed away. We acknowledge that you have enough to deal with already at times like this, and will take on all the responsibility of arranging everything in accordance with your wishes, and will ensure that all goes smoothly on the day.

We serve a wide range of beers, wines and spirits. The Beehive is a great location for a quick lunch, bar snack or just a drink with friends. We will be showing selected sports events on our large screen TV and hosting a range of special events and theme nights throughout the year.

Our 'Secret Garden and Courtyard' at the rear of the pub is a major feature of the Beehive. It was long regarded as the largest in Bristol and even today it is set out on three attractive landscaped levels. The Courtyard is the perfect place for a morning coffee or afternoon tea whilst the outdoor bar and barbecue make our garden the perfect location for those occasions when the sun pokes its way through the clouds.

We want the Beehive to give something back to the community it serves so if you are a member of any local group or organisation, charity, or just live locally, and you have any ideas for how the Beehive can be of service to you then we would be delighted to hear from you.
