Team leader (Sean) is rude and needs training in hospiality. He could see my mother was struggling to walk and keep up as he marched off and then gave back-chat when I asked if she could sit down. Phoebe who actually served us was lovely and attentive - she saved an bad initial impression.

Came here after a disappointing visit to dobbie’s garden centre. Hidden away a little but plenty of parking and a really nice setting inside. Very friendly greeting and lots of space. The food did take a bit longer than expected but when it arrived it was brilliant, we had a very mixed order with lots of parts of the menu and all of it was delicious (the chips were on the small side portion wise) We were served by Charlie who was super helpful and really pleasant. We will 100% be returning whenever we’re around the area and need a good place to eat!

Birthday lunch. Sunday roast was lovely, but was a bit cold. Steaks Sirloin & Fillet were great. One of the glasses for the drinks smelt like detergent but was easily replaced. We would suggest maybe carrying a iPad or notepad to help remember orders, because we was missing a side order of salad but our server was really kind to bring the salad over within minutes. The place was really tidy and looked professional. Our reason for rating a 3 star was because of one of the three meals being cold and the one glasses smelling like detergent.

The interior is very run down and in a desperate need of an upgrade. I’d say the grubbiness is ingrained now and no matter how hard anyone was to try and clean it, it wouldn’t make any difference. Staff were polite but not really any to be seen wandering about to collect the empty plates. We went for breakfast which was good value, only down side was it all seemed to be quite oily/greasy, but appeared to be getting topped up regularly so was fresh. Parking was easy. Two Children with me ate for free.

No greeting of hello/welcome to start with. Food cold served on cold plates so never going to be warm. When complained after the meal, the server never coming to check during our meal the manager wasn't bothered about our complaints no apology given just the offer of a free dessert. The service was slow. We had left on our table empty bottles and glasses. Not busy . Not impressed at all. We had the rump of lamb which turned out to be very 4 small squares of thin and fatty lamb. Parsnips burned and crispy and still served.

The table service great and very friendly. The food was lovely. Bar service was awful, although we were the only people needing to be served as soon as we approached the bar the barman moved away without acknowledging us and hung around the other end of the bar before slowly making his way back up and asking us if we were ready to order which we obviously were, he took our food order curtly and without smiling, then put a Guinness zero can and glass on the bar without opening it or asking if we would poor it for him.

Food was rubbish. Steak was extremely tough and dry. A pitbull would have trouble chewing. Breakfasts are cold. Not even beans are hot. Eggs like bullets. Very very poor. Not good value. Blinds at windows are covered in a thick layer of dust. Decor of the whole place is very tired. Would not stay again at the neighbouring Premiere inn either. Rooms are too hot with no air con.

The home of the beef steak, what a joke, the first night I asked for a Medium well steak, it was cremated and cold so sent back, the next one was a sirloin not filet and still overcooked and tasted awfull, everything still cold , the next night I had half a chicken that was tasteless and half undercooked, the staff could barely brake a smile, the drinks on the menu although stating new, were no longer being sold, the breakfast was stone cold, the worst beefeater I have ever been to.

Very disappointing prepaid meal as part of away break. Decided as a rare treat to upgrade to the steak with prawns and calamari. The steak requested medium (I'm tolerant of pub medium being anything from bloody though to barely a hint of red) It arrived with a steak knife which was the only way it could be sawn through - seriously over cooked to the point it was dry as a bone, I wonder if it maybe was even a re-griddled old steak. We arrived to a quiet restaurant at 5pm but had a reservation for 6pm. We were advised that due to staff shortages we couldn't be seated before our allotted time so had drinks in the bar. Once seated we asked for water to go with the consumed drinks and food . We asked three more times over the first hour but it didn't arrive - eventually the starters for those having them did, so I went and got water myself. The evening meal took just over 4 hours and I left without having eaten as I'd been saving myself for my steak/ prawns/ calamari special. One prawn split in two and a couple of tiny bits of Calamari aren't a meal worth over £20. We did raise the inedible steak and were told another could be cooked. Having waited two hours to get the first one and the others had eaten so we didn't want to wait any longer. The receipt for the meal took over an hour, the system crashed! When the robotic was everything okay came out we said no the steak was inedible - which had already been acknowledged as embarrassing by the waitress when she took it away just cut through and not touched. It was mentioned something might be able to be with the receipt, nothing was. After 4 hours waiting around we decided to use beefeaters own feedback system to say something isn't right here. They auto acknowledged our comments and then nothing - no simple human apology 'We were very understaffed' or 'we've put process in place to remind staff to check meals are okay during the dining process' So I'm writing this review thoroughly disappointed that this must be what Beefeater now accept as a standard level of service.

We arrived for breakfast to be told we would have to wait almost an hour to get a table. The member of staff on duty was very short saying you should have booked even though the restaurant was almost empy. We went outside and my daughter booked on line. She received a confirmation email saying booking accepted but the same member of staff still would not let us in saying the booking would be cancelled as they were full. If this is how they operate then we will never go back.

Overpriced for basic food... Expensive Beer. No Atmosphere. No Sports. They think just because they're connected to a Premier Inn they can extort the guests next door with ridiculous prices. If you're staying at the Premier Inn i recommend you go to the Hungry Horse 5 minutes away where you'll get better food for a far cheaper price.

Well what a shocking experience arrived at Beefeatet at 2130hrs after a long drive, checked into hotel and was told I had a food voucher and drink included only to find a very abrupt bar person stating sorry bar is shut...and you've got to leave by 10pm.....me thinks this chap missed the in house training sessions on customer services. I asked for a glass of water which he very reluctantly and with a vulcan like death stare served me.....I asked for ice and lemon only to experience the death stare again....I then wasn't even allowed to finish the glass of water before being told "its that time the bar area was being cleared and locked" Everything I could find, website, google, literature said open until 11pm..... I wasn't even allowed to visit the toilet...... Let's hope they do better tomorrow...watch this space.

I have to say it was Friday so busy with people staying overnight but we were all crammed into a small area around 4.30/5pm instead of using other areas. We could barely hear each other as the other tables were so close. We had one person on the bar for a while he wasn't very friendly! Everything we ate was overcooked starter chicken goujons really hard & dry. My husbands burger dry overcooked. My fish probably the worst ive ever had not pleasant at all thick hard batter wet not nice fish inside. Had to go to ask for dessert more staff were on by then but only cleared our table as the dessert came out. Very disappointing unfortunately won't be going again such a Shame as local to us

Had a nice breakfast but disappointed that when we arrived for our booked table we were told it’s an all you can eat breakfast but you only have 20 minutes to eat it as we are packing away at 10.30. We felt rushed even though it was still mid morning. I went to get more toast and was told sorry the toaster has been taken away. I find it rude and unprofessional as we actually left at 11am so having a bit more toast at 10.45 I don’t think is an unreasonable request. We were the last to leave so they had plenty of time to get our table cleared ready for lunch (as they’d been doing that as people were leaving). It’s a shame as it’s a nice breakfast but all you can eat in 20 minutes is a tall order!!!

We ate here over Easter, and thought the food was ok. The waiter was also polite and helpful. What did shock us though was the attitude of Jake the Manager with most customers. (Particularly the more elderly). We observed him turning many tables away even though the restaurant was quiet, and not politely! We also saw him, snap at customers who were 5 minutes late, snap at customers who asked about eating in the bar area. They received a firm no, despite mainly empty tables. His general attitude is not even poor, it is quite simply rude and off hand. He was and unsmiling with all customers we saw him interact with. We did however see him and his team chatting around the podium doing nothing for long periods of time, and could hear their conversations. One young lady was asking Jake about his underwear, and Jake and a member of bar staff were discussing their thoughts on some of the customers, not politely, and loud enough so we could hear, so no doubt other customers could too. Avoid the Millfield, poorly managed by a Manager who clearly doesn’t care.

Just had the worst customer service and food iv ever experienced at the millfield york restaurant. 45 mins to be served massively overcooked bone dry steak. When I completed and said would only pay half for my meal as only half was edible, the dishes were taken away and I was told they would not comp my starters or other meal. I honestly cant believe that someone in a kitchen had looked at the dishevelled piece of ragged meat after it had been cooked to within an inch of existence, and thought "yea, that looks good, ill serve that to someone" The manager Jake did not care and had a bad attitude and from other reviews it looks like its about time he was replaced. They offered to re do it but as I'd already been sat waiting for 45 mins i didnt want to wait any longer, especially with the attitude of the manager making me not want to spend another second in the place. Iv eaten at this restaurant on multiple occasions before as its right beside my house, but I will not be returning. If you want a nicer experience, I'd recommend paying a local chav to smash a cricket bat over your head, whilst you force burned tar into your own mouth.

I honestly cant believe that someone in a kitchen had looked at the dishevelled piece of ragged meat after it had been cooked to within an inch of existence, and thought "yea, that looks good, ill serve that to someone" The manager Jake did not care and had a bad attitude and from other reviews it looks like its about time he was replaced. They offered to re do it but as I'd already been sat waiting for 45 mins i didnt want to wait any longer, especially with the attitude of the manager making me not want to spend another second in the place. Iv eaten at this restaurant on multiple occasions before as its right beside my house, but I will not be returning. If you want a nicer experience, I'd recommend paying a local chav to smash a cricket bat over your head, whilst you force burned tar into your own mouth.

Don’t get me wrong I totally understand beefeater isn’t exactly fine dining however for the prices I’d expect something better than what I received this evening. If you want a steak that looks like it’s been chewed up, spat out, put back together again, and scorched on the sun, yet miraculously stone cold, this is the place for you! I can’t believe a chef would look at what was on my plate and deem it acceptable to serve (FYI I wouldn’t have even considered feeding it to a dog) When we complained, they took the meal away, and I declined the offer of having another one cooked as I’d already waited 45 minutes for this one and decided I’d just share my partners mixed grill instead - only to cut into his steak and see it was just as bad as mine. At this point we called over the manager, Jake, who must be one of the rudest managers I’ve ever come across. He refused to comp my partners equally bad meal, and argued that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the steaks as they had the smallest strip of pink on the inside. Still having to pay for our starters and drinks, we left and after being semi regular customers to this beefeater, we will not be returning again. I don’t know if there is new management in this branch but it’s gone down hill, Jake should probably find a new career that isn’t in hospitality, or at the very least, beefeater should replace him or provide some retraining of him, and the kitchen staff. Utterly disgusting experience all round. Honestly this doesn’t even touch how bad the steak and service was. Words really cannot describe it effectively enough.

We had ordered our food and was told we have 20 minutes to order our food before the chefs leave. The food came well only two of the items, I waited assuming they were just getting my meal. I asked and was told that the chefs have gone home that there is nothing they can do then, tried to say it wasn't on the order. This was the first meal I had ordered. There was no apology for the mess up, the same guy had also nearly forgotten a drink and gave the wrong drink to the lady he was serving before me. I have never had any problems here but I really wasn't happy with the service tonight.

We visit once a month for their breakfast, it's a great deal and the food is not bad at all.

Blandest food I have had since school dinners. Do NOT expect the food to come us as it is shown on the pictures or you will be a disappointed as I am. Presentation is extremely poor, the taste isn't much better, I'm here for 4 nights and the next 3 nights certainly wont be spent here having my dinner, I would rather have a meal deal from a fast food chain starting with "Mc"

Went here for Valentines night. Food was great, good value, was delivered quickly and well cooked. Full marks to "Mitch" who was friendly, attentive, and couldn't do more to keep his customers happy. Mitch is a credit to the Beefeater chain and I hope he...

Great day out for Mother’s Day! I appreciate that this day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants. So great full you could fit us in with a full restaurant. Slight wait on food but to be expected on Mother’s Day. Keep up the good work. Mitch was amazing and looked after us as best he could.

Went for mothers day so called mums eat free deal, couldn't have been anymore disappointed.4 of us went 2 chose three course meals, 2 chose main and dessert. The 2 starters arrived in pretty good time and weren't too bad, then we waited 1 full hour without the plates even been cleared from starters, before the mains arrived, all were barely lukewarm one steak wasnt too bad the other was awful, chips cold, the burger was in a dry bun and very small and my roast dinner was barely warm, tenderstem broccoli was rock hard as were parsnips,gravy was so thin Yorkshire had sucked it up and was then a sponge, peas and carrots take some not getting right but of course they were cold too. So hungry we nibbled what we could and cancelled desserts as I was by then thoroughly disappointed. Table of 4 next to us had same problems one of their steaks was inedible shoe leather. They did deduct desserts we didnt have off bill, but still we ended up paying nearly 60quid for absolute trash. Waitress was lovely bless her and so sorry we had such a bad experience, not her fault and an awful position for her to be put in, she did her best in what must have been a horrible day to work. Wont be going back!

I’ve been a local for years in acomb and have been to the inn on the green a few times over the years. I am impressed with the food, staff and atmosphere during my recent revisit. After a recommendation I was not disappointed. For the price I was very satisfied and would recommend. I hope the standard stays for the foreseeable future.
