Beefeater Burton on Trent in East Staffordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We have been three times to this restaurant first time we were told we hadn't booked and couldn't get in fair enough. Second time we went inbthe restaurant was empty but was told there would be over an hour wait for food as they were expecting a large party to come in. I asked we were there first surely they would take our order first but told they wouldn't? Last chance was yesterday went in stood at the door waited to be seated this was just after 7:00 p.m. to be told that the kitchen was closed They were no longer serving food? Don't bother wasting your time they obviously don't need your money or want your money Go to a restaurant that actually wants customers.

The way I have just been spoken to by not 1, but 2 of the staff is absolutely disgusting and I will not be returning. 1 individual in particular, Lilly. After standing and waiting for 15 minutes at the bar to pay for my food, all 5 members of staff (besides the manager) came tottering out of the kitchen to which I said "ive been waiting here for 15 minutes can I pay", she began to shout at me whilst in the restaurant, telling me the had an issue in the kitchen that they were sorting, even though the manager had asked them twice to come and and help. After speaking to me like a peice of dirt, I asked "excuse me who are you talking to like that?" Which she responded "you, im staff and you need to respect me, I was busy sorting stuff that has nothing to do with you". I asked her "whats your name?" As her name badge was covered, she looked me up and down and turned away. I then asked one of the other members of staff "whats her name?" And she said "sorry im not allowed to share that information with you". I asked who the manager was, she pointed to the man who was quite clearly very stressed with the staff team and their level of incompetence. I asked "whats her name?" In which he told me "lilly". What is concerning to me is how she so comfortably spoke to a customer like this with absolutely 0 repercussions. It is disgusted.

Had a great time, at Merry Monk, the staff were polite and courteous, Zac was our host and he was brilliant, would definetly go again, food was good.

I came here with my colleague, the steaks were fantastic, even though the chef was on his own, and we were served by Alex who was fantastic, cheerful and cheeky. It was a very fun experience being served by him and his attentive nature!

Brilliant breakfast experience we went there this morning with my husband our 5 year old and my mother in law nice and quiet excellent service for breakfast fresh food coming out all the time. Even better they have a very innotive idea to let children use the chalk pens when in the booths and draw on the glass to leave their own artwork such a lovely idea and great way to keep them entertained during the meal times and safe. Only downside is there not cleaning the tables like they used to meaning you have lots of dirty pots on the tables.

Thank you Jo and Tom for a warm welcome and lovely breakfast, just what we needed after a boozy night out, definitely will be back!

Very good food in the open breakfast and very helpful staff, even helping us find local emenities while we are new to the area

Called in for our lunch around 13.20hrs. Tom immediately showed us to a table and took our order. He is a very sociable individual and easy to talk to. The food we had was delicious with good presentation. It was well cooked and hot. The restaurant was very clean and tidy, and well laid out. All the time we were there Tom was doing his job without being intrusive. Well done Tom, you are a gem. 🥹

Excellent food and service from Michelle,Jo, and chef Kerry Anne would highly recommend , always welcomed with a smile and the food is always fresh and ready, and if you are short of anything they will bring it to you when it is ready, definitely will be back weekly

Great service from Michelle, Jo and chef kerry Anne! Food hot and fresh as always! would definitely be coming back again.

Always a great meal at this Beefeater. The staff are super friendly and always look after you. Jo is fantastic, Michelle and Kerry-Ann at breakfast are definitely a dream team.

Travelling for work, with limited time - incredible service from Tom - super helpful, friendly and efficient. And the food was good too! ☺️

I ordered the ribs and chicken with chips and sweetcorn. Apart from the chips everything was cold. The sweetcorn was almost frozen. Chicken was dry. Ribs were tasty but again could have been warmer. My partner orders the steak. Which he said could have been hotter. We think it maybe sat on the pass too long before it was served. Would we return. No!!!

I eat here when on business, the environment is clean, the food is lovely , staff is very welcome and always professional.

We had Alex H and he was brilliant even when needed sending steak back. Impressed he can take an order without needing to write it down and he never stood still for a second!

good food, Tom our server was great loved him xx had a lovely chicken burger, wait time was nice and short, puddings were excellent 😍

A group of 9 school friends booked and went to The Merry Monk today 8th March for Breakfast to celebrate one of our 60th Birthdays. We do go every 2 weeks for Breakfast and its is always exceptional service and excellent value for money with great food and drink available. The staff Michelle, Leanne, Tom Chef Kerry Anne and the others whose names, I must apologise, I have slipped my memory, do a wonderful job and today to help our celebration had put out 60th Birthday banners and 60th Birthday balloons which made our get together that bit more special.Thank you to all staff you always make us feel welcome every time we come for breakfast. All 9 of us recommend The Merry Monk as a venue for Great service, food and value for money.Thank you from the Breakfast club :-)

Good food, had the fish and chips was so good and yummy will definitely be coming back here and the cheesy garlic bread was so good 10/10

Food hot and delicious. Staff friendly and helpful - great wine advice! Helped my mum to the disabled toilets and was very thoughtful

We do visit quiet often as it’s half way from us and friends! It’s just like home from him. The staff are always good to us and the food is always lovely. Only downfall was they didn’t have any heating so we all sat eating in our jackets, however it was due to the boiler being broken and they did advise us of this before seating us! It’s always nice to have a laugh with the team here who do join in with us!

We came here due to a calamity of errors of the day. When we arrived we noticed a sign on the door that said there was no heating and thought "here we go again" but it was warm enough to stay and we are so...

The breakfasts are excellent, friendly staff, good quality produce, well presented. A good selection of everything. Sausages are particularly good, which I think makes this a great venue and always very clean....no sticky tables. Great value for money.

Top service, staff could not do enough for us and food was great, just what you need in a morning to set you up for the day. Would highly recommend

Went for dinner with my Dad very nice food and good service. Had a nice waitress called Ainne who was very kind and polite.

The service was very good thanks Tom. We didn’t have to wait for our meal and the fish and chips were perfect as was the combo. Both meals very tasty and a good choice on the menu.

Well what can I say …. Absolutely horrible experience and will be calling head-office to complain about service and especially the management staff ….. we traveled over 3 hours and to be told at 17:45 that they couldn’t not seat us for dinner or even...

The food was OK, it took a little too long to be delivered. They forgot one of our sides. But the biggest issue of all was just how cold it was. We were initially sat next to the door and had to move because of...

The food was well cooked and nicely presented, but a little pricey. Our server was fabulous, so helpful and lovely. The venue is in need of a very good clean and is in need of a overhaul in some areas. On my way to the...

Delicious dinner, staff really lovely and helpful. Thank you to Jo, Jacob, Lewis and Mark for providing me with exactly the dinner I wanted! 😀

Pleasant but room for improvement - good offers and restaurant is airy and bright. Good range on menu. Good parking. - a few issues of cleanliness - chairs were quite dirty with food trapped in the cracks. Carpet to bathrooms very tired and bathrooms themselves...

Very good quality and value for money with outstanding service as well. It recently has greatly improved and now it's 5 stars

Food wasn’t great. They missed stuff off the mains and got part of the order wrong, waiting ages then when it arrived it was obvious the food had been under a heat lamp for ages and was really dry and crusty. Not enough staff on...

Kerrianne was a great help with dietry needs, very friendly staff Breakfast well stocked and a varied choice

Having two daughters with food allergies is always very difficult when going away on holiday with the family. Usually as a family we get quite anxious regarding our children’s food allergies however our breakfast meals at the Beefeater Merry Monk Burton on Trent was outstanding....

Excellent service as always! Chef KerryAnne went above and beyond to ensure we all had what we wanted and even heated up my daughters pancakes for us. Thankyou so much

Kerry Anne the breakfast chef went above and beyond to accommodate my colleagues and I when we had breakfast

Staying at the premier Inn next door. I hadn't pre-booked breakfast. Thought I'd have a cooked breakfast, went next door. Waited at the desk/check in sign and was just ignored. Saw two members of staff who didn't appear interested at all they just stood wiping...

Breakfast was fabulous, the breakfast chef Kerryann ran the kitchen like a machine, she never let anything run out everything was hot and cooked lovely, veggie sausage and poached eggs nothing was to much for her. What a wonderful team

Excellent service, food came quickly & all cooked to perfection. Staff were attentive so will definitely return.

The service from start to finish was exceptional, especially from Alex. Food was delicious. Had the Premier Inn Meal deal which had great menu choices. I had the ribeye, biscoff sundae and house red wine. Would recommend to all.

Bloody spot on, couldn't ask for anymore. Great service, great food, staff are brilliant. Will be back again

Excellent food & service as always. Thank you to all. Chefs Lil & Lewis, excellent food. Good value for money

Very clean and good background music. Excellent service and staff were very helpful. Food came out piping hot and fresh looking.

I visited today for my 20th birthday with my family. They set the table lively for me and gave me a card and some chocolates and put the banners on the table which was a tremendously lovely add on. The food was also lovely and...

Hash browns were nice and crisp on the outside soft inside 👍. Coffee really nice. Staff is friendly.

Seevice very slow even though the place was not full. Food order sat under heat lamps for ages before being served. When order eventually arrived the “medium” fillet steak was overcooked (actually burned at one end) and order was incomplete (2 eggs ordered)

Superb food with excellent service, cannot fault the meal experience. Great atmosphere too. Thanks for a great time :)

Fantastic service, food was amazing and they went above and beyond for myself and my little boy who are allergic to milk! George was so lovely, so patient with me when I had a big order, and came and bought extra cherries to make my...

Great service from Aimee. Very friendly and accommodating. Food was lovely, reasonably priced and plenty of it. Thanks!

The waitress was really nice and helpful, this is no reflection on her at all. My burger came out dry and the bun toasted beyond being edible. Most accurate description would be two chunks of leather between two hockey pucks. The manager was told and...

Fantastic customer service. Everyone couldn’t have been more helpful with our assistance dog and my dairy intolerance.

I generally love Premier Inn breakfasts, and Bloodstock festival is so much better done from a hotel (at our age). But. WHERE WERE THE STAFF?? Massive shout out to Kerry Ann for her efficiency, speed and good humour.... Chef, restocking, customer service all at warp...
