Popped in for Sunday lunch after trying the burgers a few weeks ago. Both times the food was spot on, chicken burger and cauliflower cheese were great! Portion sizes are generous and prices are reasonable. Very family friendly place that shows sports but with a nice chilled atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. Glad to have this so close to home!Kid-friendliness: Lots of families there and changing facilities

Worst pool table I've ever played on. Not level at all. I saw the barstaff drag the pool table a few feet across the room, this explains why the pool table is not level. Nice place though.

Only popped in for a pint and have a look.Friendly person behind the bar , delicious pint of Stella,pool,Darts and banging tunes on in the background!... Did I mention the huge Flat screen?... ( A bit bright if I'm honest, but that's a bit picky. Everything was just right. We felt relaxed straight away and will return to try the food at a later date...

Me and the family dined at the Hive today for a Sunday roast and I can honestly say we had a 10/10 experience. We were served by Sally and Gemma who were fantastic and made the whole evening very pleasant, so we will definitely be back. Thanks so much :)

I took my dad and family here for Father?s Day - had the father and son platter and kids chicken and chips (all delicious). Such lovely staff - Gemma and Sally served us and were really attentive and made the whole evening a great time.

Hidden gem on the side of Stretford Arndale !!The Hive is a family-friendly bar-restaurant, with exceptional modern cuisine and beautifully presented dishes.Multiple screens featuring BT Sport and SkySports channels while sipping a cocktail or beer from their great selection.Friendly staff make for an enjoyable experience all-round. I definitely recommend The Hive for those searching for excellent food, live sports, and a welcoming atmosphere.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. This bar-restaurant on the side of Stretford Arndale is family friendly with menu options for groups and for kids. The food was exceptional - a modern menu executed to a high standard with each dish beautifully presented and packed with flavour. There are also multiple screens dedicated to BT Sport and SkySports channels. The bar offers a good selection of drinks to choose from including cocktails and a great beer selection. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend The Hive for people looking for great food, live sports, and a friendly atmosphere.

nipped in for food only 5 tables occupied , young servers clearly no idea on what good service is , had to ask for menu's, ask to order drinks , ask for cutlery , not once offered any real service. Foods ok , chicken wing are great but clearly no manager to ensure things are done correctly. Eaten here a few times and the service always was poor but now its to the point I most likely will not eat here again. Such a shame as I had high hopes for hive in the early days of opening.

Everyone raved about the Sunday roast... All descriptions start with cauliflower cheese. None to be seen. We ordered extra portions of pigs in blankets, undercooked. Which was a shame, we took them home and re-cooked them and they were really flavourful. The Yorkshire pudding looked delicious, but the bottom must have been sat in the oil for ages, as it had soaked it all up. Inedible. £9 for a burger without any sides... NINE POUND. To top it off we asked for a high chair for baby which looked like it had never been wiped down. We got a spray and wiped it down ourselves.The chicken was very flavourful, and mash too. However, you don't get much of it.

I have been to The Hive multiple times for drinks, watching sports, and family meals, and I have always had a great experience. However, my most recent visit in October for a small surprise birthday celebration was truly amazing. The staff at The Hive were extremely organised and went above and beyond to make the celebration special. They offered a delicious buffet, a birthday cake, and even arranged for a guitarist to play for a couple of hours. The room setup was also perfect for our celebration.I have always enjoyed my visits to The Hive, but this experience was truly memorable and I am grateful to the staff for their attention to detail and excellent communication. I highly recommend The Hive for any occasion and I look forward to returning in the future.

Really disappointed that the owner has not responded to my message following my party as I had raised some concerns. Was very quick to reply to all other communication before the event. Which is not encouraging and just shows that once they have your money they don?t appear to be bothered. How sad. Copy of message sent. Hi Chris. I thought I may have heard from you to see how everything went. As I haven?t I am sending this message. There are a few issues I think you need to be aware of; Most of the food when laid out was not labelled, so no one knew what everything was or what was in the sandwiches. The vegan/celiac sandwich were the only things that were labelled but as served on the same plate. Not sure how one would know which is which. Also gluten free should always be served separately as cross contamination can occur. When this was pointed out to the chef. He did an excellent job to resolve it. At no point was I made aware that there would not be enough seating for 46 guests. Had I known that Chris I would have gone elsewhere. I would not expect 16 people to stand and eat. Finally Chris not one member of staff approached me at any point during the evening so I don?t think any staff even knew it was my party or checked to see if everything was ok. So did I have a fantastic evening as promised. Not completely. Having said that everyone said the food was excellent. Thanks Chris Based on the above I will not be returning and will not recommend. A real shame as I do want to support local business.

Visited in November with friends the food was lovely and a great price for the three course set menu.
