Service was great, food was very nice.Alittle pricey for the starters for what you get.The main thing I felt let here down was the toilets. In need of a refurb, very tired. Not dirty but not clean & battered looking.Also be careful of the small step into the ladies, no sign & for toddlers toddling into the ladies it is a trip hazard (learnt our lesson on the 1st trip).Overall a very nice dinner. No atmosphere but I wasn't expecting any.

Nothing special food was mediocre service was mediocre they made no mistakes but spoke to me and my mates like we were forcing them to work there, pretty darn rude.Experience was so mediocre I had to write a google review for the first time in my life.

Perhaps our experience was mid week malaise. The steaks had to be sent back, as it was bloody rare instead of medium to well done. The place was near empty, so there was no atmosphere, whatsoever. And the service was so gruff, it was incredible. There is a reason this once wondeful venue is empty during the week

Had a cocktail in a tall glass. Straw so short for the glass. 2 people had bad stomach all day Sunday.Coffee machine was switched off before 10pm. So no coffee. So I'm being generous giving 3 stars. Plus side great for parking. Certainly won't go there again.

Hav'nt been here in many years and have good memories of this restaurant.Booked a table for 3 people and was looking forward to a lovely dinner with my family.Waited a total of 10 mins by the entrance to be seated as there was no one at the desk....a waiter walked by and I asked if anyone was available to seat us and he said the manager is busy and will be with shortly........waited again...then asked a waitress who said they are busy and we have to wait...... hardly any customer's were there.I asked to speak to the manager,but that never happened.In the end we seated ourselves and waited.We ordered and our waiter was pleasant and we carried on with our meal.There was no apology or explanation of the lack of professionalism or courtesy from the manager..........Felt very disappointed and won't be going there again!

Such a shame!I've been coming to the beefeater for the last 30+ years but not been since the whole COVID thing and decided to come this evening as I've been wanting to visit for a bit.I feel gutted at how bad this place has become. The two ladies serving are doing their best but it's an impossible ask to expect them to take orders, bring food, clean up and take payment.There is a feeling that either management or higher up want this place to go down to the point of being unviable so they can sell it off for development.My starter was fair though not the crunchy coated wings I expected; more soggy but at least a modicum of flavour. My main however was dreadful:The lettuce was old, dried, brown and completely unappealing, the fries were cold; having seen our meal sitting at the food station for a long period of time waiting to be collected by the staff, the jacket potato the same and the chicken just covered in BBQ sauce in some vain attempt at imparting some flavour.My partner's burger was just about edible though the bun itself felt like it had just been defrosted.I complained to the manger who was amiable though didn't seem surprised so no doubt I'm not the first to raise an issue.I'm so disappointed to have had this experience, I have really fond memories of coming here on early dates with my partner, birthday celebrations, getting to know old members of staff like Mo, Anne, Emily and Linda, being somewhere to go for a dinner after a long day at work knowing we'd get a good feed at a reasonable price but I feel this will be the last time I go there for a meal unless something dramatic happens to improve it.The ladies serving us couldn't have done more, they're trying to do their best and i feel bad for them that they're being let down by incompetent management.I really hope there's improvement.

Excellent place to visit for lunch or anytime meal.. Service was perfect (Maritana) food amazing and ambience lovely.. All very clean and i could see a designated area for parties and larger groups.. Will definitely be back again very soon.. A must visit.. The menu choice was very extensive too

This is attached to a hotel. While we were eating our dinner, the staff were preparing for breakfast. I know that this has to be done, but it was where we were sitting. Also, the accessible toilet was out of order, and there was no alternative, so tough luck wheelchair users!!!

You can drive there and park, to eat and drink. I believe you need to book the table, otherwise you will be offered to sit in the area without the service, if it's not too busy. There, you'll need to self order food and drink at the bar. Similar to Wetherspoons restaurant. The food will be brought to your numbered table. We had a beef sirloin, but with a disappointment due to very thin slices of the beef. Food was kind of tasteless, unless you added plenty of salt, pepper, sauces like ketchup, mayo or a mustard. Good wine though. There was not much of the service, so can't give more stars for it.

Absolutely awful! I've never posted a negative review previously. Warning Sunday lunch is to be avoided. Most, if not all elements are pre cooked on mass and left by hot plate area, result being a cold plate of food which two of our party Sent back and changed for something safer (burger and chips) after realising how the plate was prepared.Unfortunately the medium rare steak was also well done.Drinks took an entering to arrive.Had to ask for dessert menu after along wait.There were a few other monents that were not up to a standard sadly.Without exaggeration there were 5 more plates of food returned whist our party was sat at the table all for being cold, I'm almost certain it was all roast dinners.Our waitresses was polite and tried to serve as best as possible but as more tables were seated her tasks became to great.Towards the end of our lunch we could only see the funny side of how bad the experience was...Disappointingly as there is only a few times a year we get to meet and enjoy a meal as a family, yesterday was soo bad i felt moved to write this balanced but truthful review.The main motivation being to (if your still reading this....) avoid and book elsewhere. You have now been warned.
