Fantastic, homemade ice cream, excellent choice and great value (£6 for 3 Scoops) compared to New Quay where they wanted £9 for 3

I’m writing this as a disappointed was potential customer! I’d read the place was dog friendly… but alas it’s only outside. As the wind was blowing wildly sitting out was a “no no”…I can fully appreciate not everyone is dog friendly, especially near food . HOWEVER.. Hive has a huge entrance lobby with a tiled floor… that seemed ideal for a few that are touring dog families and need sustenance. No alternative offered.. we wandered down to The Harbourmaster.. greeted profusely, sat on an enclosed terrace.. with an offer of a heater.. perhaps our £50 spend wasn’t sufficient initiative to Hive. Sad.

Great place, delicious coffee and incredible ice creams. The salted caramel honey ice cream was one of the best I've ever tasted.We loved sitting by the fireplace too.A must visit if you're in

We had a fantastic meal, with good portions - alas I couldn't quite finish mine. I really enjoyed my halloumi flatbread and sweet potato fries.Vegetarian options: There is a decent selection of meat free options on the menu, though it's a shame they aren't clearly labelled with a V

We’re locals and have been coming to the Hive for a few years. Last here about 6 months ago and food was excellent. However, here we are in September 23 and what has happened???? I ordered fish n chips -what I received was shocking. A portion of fish not much larger than a fish finger…served on a tea plate. Chips not included, they had to be paid for separately. No idea what the green purée was on the plate but it was awful. Son asked for a burger without lettuce or tomato ( dietary requirements) but his wishes were ignored and it came with lettuce and tomatoes which he ended up removing himself!!!!!. Another guest had to send his burger back because the ‘whipped goats cheese’ was so runny it had made the burger soggy.The number of empty tables on a Saturday Night spoke volumes. This place used to be so busy. No idea if there is a new chef, new owners or what but the menu is not brilliant and definitely we felt ripped off. We were so disappointed and it’s not a place we will be returning to unless it gives itself a shake up and returns to the excellent establishment it was before. At the moment, it’s fine if you just want a drink but if you want a good dining experience, try elsewhere! Food was just awful and overpricedVegetarian options: Only 1 vegetarian option and it was dreadful

We enjoyed the roast Sunday lunch where we choose turkey with all the trimmings. Unlike other gastropubs where there's often a focus on the meat (which was excellent) and not much else, it had everything (carrots, cauliflower cheese, parnips, greens, roast potatoes, pigs in blanket, mash, stuffing) everything perfectly cooked and in sensible portions so you could enjoy it all, all at a very reasonable price.

Excellent, some of the best ice cream I have ever had and so many flavours to choose

Great buzz here, very friendly and welcoming place and it seemed like the place to be. Definitely the hub of local gatherings. Lovely atmosphere and the coffee was superb. We'll be back

High quality food and the prices were OK. I would not want to pay more for what I got. I would have liked the burgers, and especially the chips, to be hotter temperature-wise, maybe faster delivery from when it comes out of the pan would help. The parmesan on the chips could've been melted more, perhaps roast the chips a little with the cheese on top.The positives: delicious burgers! Yes, both the chicken and the beef ones were great and accorded with the menu description in terms of flavour from the seasoning. I particularly enjoyed the lime in the chicken burger. I perhaps felt the chicken burger could be priced a bit cheaper than the beef burger as it contained less meat. Both were £13.The sides are a little pricey but excellent quality. I enjoyed the crispy chips with rosemary and parmesan for £6.50. Some confirmation that the chips are hand cut would be assuring, as I'd expect this at this price.The milkshake was very good for £5 each, both quantity and quality, if a little thin - perhaps a little more ice-cream? They use their famous honey ice-cream inside it, which I could taste.Lattes were very good and made extra hot as requested. All in all a fine meal and pleasant quieter environment with lots of natural lighting and space between tables to enjoy your meal.

Lovely little place that served great food. Staff were really helpful and the service was really quick. Plus, the honey ice cream was delicious!!

Most unwelcoming, after our order had been taken we were told with no apology that we'd have to be out quickly as they were closing, no "sorry" or "please". The sign on the door said it closed at 4 and we were there at 3.30. Definitely not going back.

Visited today with my partner for lunch we sat outside and enjoyed the weather. We both went for the flatbreads, I chose the lamb flatbread and my partner had the halloumi flatbread. Both were full of flavour! Really hit the spot? friendly staff and nice views. A good menu to choose from as well! Would definitely
