There's a lot to be said about going up to the bar and asking 'what do you have?' Not something I ever do, but this is why going for a drink with people you haven't ever been for a drink with before, can turn out to be such a lovely thing. I was mostly expecting a curt response to A's question, but was pleasantly surprised when we were then given a comprehensive run down of all the various boozy and non boozy options by the lady behind the bar - which goes to show - it's a good question to ask! Adrienn ended up with some very exciting 'Prince William' cider, putting my glass of house red to shame!
The Bee is one of those pubs that due to it's proximity to the office, I'd only ever visited at lunchtime, or for a swift post-work drink. I think it has more charm by night and was neither too busy nor too quiet on a wednesday evening. I'd eaten here before, and the food was fine, but not immediately food blog worthy. But as I mentioned before - drinking with new people can lead to good ideas. Good ideas of a let's-have-a-dessert-round nature!
I opted for the classic hot/cold dessert combo - sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice-cream. It had the optimal levels of sweet, hot, gooey amazingness. 
Adrienn opted for the chocolate fudge cake and was impressed by how light and moist it was (and just the right level of sweet).
Sadly there was no chance of a cuppa with our desserts, as the bar had run out of milk, but this didn't detract from our enjoyment too much.
Overall
Lovely chilled out atmosphere and staff with old-fashioned good value and generously portioned desserts.
