Pretty sure the fish I had was re-heated from last night. The fish inside the very over cooked batter was so dry it was non existent. Service was excellent, if we had more time we would have complained but we were in a rush and the meal took a while to

Food and service both excellent. I only gave a reduced score for atmosphere as my visit was late afternoon and it was very quiet.

Very good, especially the breakfast, and the deal they did in the afternoon before 5 pm. Very clean. Very convenient for the hospital. Only down side, if you were walking down to the Beefeater from the start of the car park area nearest the hospital end, the path/road is extremely rough. My daughter, walking down with crutches, found it har going, and I damaged the wheel of my rollator on it. Otherwise very good.

The entire meal was a disaster. Had a turkey roast dinner and the meat was so dry it was curling on the sides, potatoes were grey in the middle and the desert was incredibly bland. Never thought someone could mess up the desert, but they managed to do that as well. Never stepping foot on the place again and the same goes to the 14 other people from my workplace, no one is ever going back there. Avoid at all costs. Coca Cola was nice tho.

Absolute shambles. Food took ages (and I mean ages - there’s only 4 of us).. When it arrived, it was cold so sent back. Portions are so small - we left hungry. This has happened before when we went, and thought we’d give it another try. Will not be returning. Save your money.

Went for breakfast with my daughter's as one full paying adult means bkth children eat free , so not bad for £9.99 unlimited breakfast.The staff will take your order for the cooked items, and you can grab anything in the continental section yourself.The food was ok, kids enjoyed themselves and ate happily. Great value if you're on a budget but want to treat your children to an all you can eat brekkie. Sausage, bacon, egg, hash browns, poached egg, toast, mushrooms, and fried tomato with beans ....unlimited times for 3 people £9.99.....no brainer.Staff were friendly, and i would definitely go back.

We go here weekly for a family breakfast and the service and food is great. you definitely need to book in advance, and if i was to have one gripe is no fried mushrooms on a fry up!!!!!!Besides being unable to fry mushrooms great place highly reccomend.

Great food at affordable prices, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I have been here several times over the years and was never disappointed. Steaks are really good and I can recommend the Mixed grill. Can definitely recommend this

Awful in every way. Complained to head office with no decency of a response. Waitress was rude. the manager was rude. 8 tables, 4 waiting staff and 2 chefs, and they couldn't cope. It was an absolute joke. We walked in at 17.45 and didn't get to order till 18.30 and only because we asked to order which the waitress wasn'thappy about. We didn't get starters at 19.00 and then had to wait. Staff were abusive to other customers, and 4 tables got up and walked while we were there. Only positive thing was it looked festive and they have a lovely little colouring competition for the kids but there's o ly so much colouring a kid can do before their patience wears out and they want to go to bed. We should have been in and out within an hour for 2 courses. Another table had been there for 3.5 hours and had to pay the additional fee for parking. We will never go back to that restaurant, which is a shame as we had completely the opposite experience in Bedford. Oh and they made us pay for the starters and drinks even though we had such awful service. They lost a lot of money that night!

Brilliant evening. We have been visiting beefeater for 20yrs until a couple of months ago when service/food went down hill. Gave it another try tonight for my daughter's birthday with a party of seven. New manager Chris is now running the ship. What an absolute star he is. Great sense of humour, professional and respectful to staff and guests alike. So rare these days. Hats off to you Chris, will definitely be back.
Staff are friendly, tables are in good distance with one another. Unfortunately, the food is a letdown. Our order probably had taken more than an hour to arrived and they are all dry. Probably will take sometime for me to go back to this place.

Worst experience ever! Rude waiters/waitresses. Arrived for a booking at 6pm, someone was on our table, told us that we just had to wait! Tried to sit us in the reception area. Didn’t get drinks until after 45 minutes of being at the restaurant. Food took 1.5 hours to come! Didn’t clear plates. We had to get dessert menus ourselves. Everyone else in the restaurant hadn’t had any of their food, was waiting for over 1 hour. All customers were speaking among themselves, several customers asked what was going on and they were so rude, said I don’t know how long the wait is! A couple walked out as they had enough like all of us!! Asked for more drinks, didn’t come! All waitresses/waiters hanging around!! Terrible service, will not be returning!! Food was cold and very dry. When we left, at 9pm, 3 hours of being at the restaurants for ONLY mains, they didn’t even apologize and didn’t think they had done anything wrong!!Vegetarian options: Only 2 vegetation options

After a long day of traveling we ate here as we’re staying in the attached hotel. The service was excellent, friendly staff who made time to chat but never overstayed their welcome at the table. There was a slight mix up over a vegan burger but the waitress spotted this immediately and corrected things in an efficient manner and with full apology. Food is very pub grub but a really decent job doer.

This was meant to be a quick visit for a coffee, but it was coming up to rush hour, and we had several miles to get home. So we decided to stop for a meal. We had not booked, but the pleasant staff welcomed us and found a table within minutes, even though it was quite busy. We were served by Nicola, who was very friendly and helpful, and in very little time we had a delicious meal served. To take advantage of a Black Friday 50% deal we also had a dessert, which took our bill to over £35 for the two of us. Thank you Nicola.
