6 of us went on Christmas Eve for lunch, everyone’s meal was perfect. Lots of food and well cooked all at reasonable prices. We were very happy with our visit and will go back.

We had been shopping locally, having finished, we needed something to eat.We hadn't used a Beefeater in years, so we thought we would give it a go.Quickly shown to our seat, drink order taken & arrived promptly.All the waitress was friendly & helpful.On ordering our main meal, the waitress suggested I have my ribeye steak, medium rare rather than rare, so that tye fat was rendered down more. Great advice.With had sticky toffee pudding, in her opinion not the best.I enjoyed my apple pie.Overall, a good & enjoyable meal.Would we return, yes.

Leanne was absolutely amazing a credit to the place, service was spot on and the rest of the team couldn’t do enough to help, food was gorgeous and piping hot. Thanks a lot for a lovely evening we will be back soon :) From the girls at Preston

Very friendly and welcoming. We had a slight problem with our table, which was sorted immediately and without fuss. The food was good. An enjoyable visit. Definitely recommend a visit.
Neil Powers
Lovely meal and staff member was very friendly, chatty and attentive. I don't know her name but she's a West Ham fan. I couldn't downgrade the review,even though West Ham beat my local team Nottingham Forest recently, haha.

Appalling service! Food cold, clearly understaffed! Tried to pay 3 times and staff kept just walking off! Daughter ended up with no pudding!

Why on earth a restaurant that size has only one coffee machine is beyond me. I had got my cooked breakfast and then went to get the coffee to go with it but had to stand in a queue for 15mins and therefore my cooked breakfast and toast were cold. Had I done it the other way about the coffee would've been cold. The noise was awful, there was nothing to absorb the noise.

Went there tonight - with the little one. it took 1 hour from ordering food to getting it - food was barely warm. We left alot of it and waited for the staff to come and take the plates away and give the little one her ice cream that came with her meal. 20 mins nothing... i asked twice. Finally we decided just to get the bill. They brought the bill and never came back so i ended up having to go to the bar to pay. I was then told to go to the other side of the bar. Other customers seem to ask for the manager so sounds like we weren't the only ones.Wont be using again, they need more staff and a manager who can mange

My wife and I Had a roast turkey dinner here. We came back as the meal we had a few months ago was pretty decent for a chain food restaurant. Well that has changed dramatically. £37 for 2 dinners and 2 cokes. The roast potatoes were rock hard and dry, the Yorkshire pudding was flat and hard, the stuffing balls were like fishing weights, the turkey was dry but ok. Carrots and peas were fine.Sorry won’t be back.

I haven't been here for a few months but nothing has changed, Leanne yet again was fantastic, the food was 5 star. Great job Team Darlington ?
We had 7oz gammon steak..cooked to perfection. But l ordered a soda water, no ice. It came with ice, sent back then it came with lime. So it took three goes to get a simple drink. Mind you...there did seem to be a bit of a flap going on. Not sure what. Apart from that it was great.

Excellent service as always. Jack served us tonight and nothing was a bother for him at all. Really polite and respectable towards our party.Dan (who has also served us in previous visits) also came over to see how we were doing since our last visit and went out of the way to do it.Cracking evening and the food was delicious, and arrived in good time for a party of 6. ?

Visited Monday tea-time. Place was very busy mainly, it seemed, with workmen. We hadn't booked but they found us a table. However, it became so noisy that we left without ordering anything.If, like us, you are a family looking for a relaxed evening meal then maybe avoid Beefeater on a Monday evening.

Stopped for lunch while car shopping in the area. Food was of a good quality and well priced. Service was a little bit off with some confusion over drinks and issues behind the bar.
