Beefeater Grill in Weymouth and Portland

Visited as we were staying at the nearby Premier Inn. It would appear that this establishment has been closed for some time, and perhaps just reopened as exterior scruffiness matched by the interior. The staff were pleasant enough, but we breakfasted "too early" for the hot buffet to be laid out, as it ," would just get cold " but we could order. We ordered and food arrived, lukewarm, and clearly not freshly cooked. Plus no decaffeinated tea available. How much would a pack of these cost. A very poor experience.

We were a family of 3 adults 1 Child and was seated by Megan who was lovely. She was very professional and attentive and was always friendly. The food was prompt and was very nice. We were sad to hear that this beefeater was soon to be Closing down. As we have always found this beefeater to be the best.

Turned away as apparently not taking walk in trade. There were more empty tables than there were with people sat at them. Bonkers

Wonderful food and good service accommodated to the table efficiently, while being incredibly friendly! Brought out balloons, which was a lovely touch to make the birthday dinner perfect

Not enough staff the night we went in so got turned away at the door despite over half the restaurant was empty Shocking that you have to turn away business in these difficult times

Stephanie was amazing she was bang on, attentive, instinctively knew what we wanted/needed. It was an anniversary of my Mums passing. She was respectful but fun. We could not have asked for a better service. She's a keeper. The food was perfect and all came out together despite being warned they may not be able to accommodate a large table. All in all it was well Worth it itO

Went for a Christmas works meal, pre ordered and pre paid. There was other parties there however despite preordering and paying they did not have all the sides or desserts in stock. It was disappointing been there before and was great service.

Well what can I say this place is rubbish, booked a festive meal our main courses were delivered on serving dishes not plates, I can only assume the dishwasher was broken , non-existent or didn't turn up for work . We couldn't order a cheese board we were told "they didn't have any cheese" even though the restaurant is next to a large Sainsburys super market, my guess is it was to time consuming to put together with the lack of staff they had on. The table service is very very slow and by lack of trained staff I had to go and ask for condiments the waitress delivered the food to the table and run. The final straw is the card machine is still broken its been like it for weeks apparently so you have to go to the bar on the way out, not a great end to a festive meal. I don't think the staff get any tips either may be they should ask themselves why? I'm afraid its another example of a very poorly run UK chain restaurant owned by Whitbreads who are just ripping people off as most people who eat here are tourists, avoid this place.

Just one person serving the entire restaurant. Cooked breakfast isn't served until 08:00 which isn't explained at the Premier Inn when you arrive. Such a late start would be prohibitive for many people staying here yet included in their booking. Even when you arrive multiple customers are left wandering around the restaurant trying to find out where the food is. Also, despite the rest of the restaurant being told that cooked breakfast isn't available until 08:00, there are still certain preferred customers who appear to have cooked items on their plates.

We were staying at the Premier Inn next door and booked a meal deal for one night with breakfast and just breakfast the following day. The receptionist at the Premier Inn told us the earliest we could eat for dinner was 8.30 however we went across to the Beefeater shortly after 7pm and they fitted us in which was a much better time for us. The waitress was very friendly and the food was OK. My son had a side of garlic prawns with his steak, £4.99 for two prawns is quite expensive. The food at dinner was much better than breakfast both mornings. The plates were stone cold which meant the food from the buffet was cold before we sat down. The waiting staff were working hard but whether they were short staffed or just overworked meant that things kept running out. They were clearing tables whilst being asked for things like butter (the restaurant had run out) and were constantly being asked for spoons etc. We could see into the kitchen from where we were sat and saw the croissants being loaded onto a tray ready to be brought out. Although there are tongs for customers to use the person in the kitchen was not using tongs or wearing gloves which didn't feel very hygienic. It was OK but not one of the best Premier Inns we have stayed at.

Arrived after a long journey in the drizzle and fog and the reception was great.. warm, friendly and lots of smiles.. the staff here really add to my visit to Weymouth.. you just can’t beat it.. they really take customer service to another level

Great evening with amazing food. Staff had to put up with numerous complaints regarding the heating system (that was out of their control) but they all dealt with all the issues with grace and dignity. We were not is a rush for our food as we live locally but found everything to be above standard. Would highly recommend to this beefeater and our server Megan was wonderful. Many thanks xx

Staying in the premier inn and not feeling like a drive again tonight we decided to eat in the beef eater just over the road Food was good had the chargrilled half chicken and the turkey roast What made the experience great was the service Olivia was attentive funny and for once so nice to meet someone who really cares whether or not you have a great evening…. Thank you 😊

Very disappointing. I ordered fillet steak, medium rare with extra garlic king prawns and peppercorn sauce. Total cost £27.97 but we were there for my husband's birthday. Total disappointment. Steak was chargrilled to the point of toughness, cooked medium well to well done, dry and tasteless. No mushroom and two dry prawns. The server asking about sauces disappeared before I had a chance to finish chewing and make my requests. The restaurant was not busy and the same server found time to chat to other customers. My husband enjoyed his mixed grill but it would seem small cost cutting measures are in place. Although we had a voucher I would not rate this restaurant as value for money.

Yummy yummy food!!! Very busy restaurant but the food was hot and quick, there looked to be short staffed but was managed very well! I had a ribeye (medium) and a sticky toffee pudding, when eating my food there was a couple of rude people being disrespectful to staff I think it was disgusting how some people speak to staff they need to realise they are human and not robots! Shame on them! The restaurant filled up very fast but staff was always happy to help with a big smile, thank you team and management!

Come out with my girlfriend for a evening meal, had chicken and ribs with fries and my partner had a fillet steak all was cooked to perfection! We both had a lovely time!

Never again.. been coming here few years last time was in June best meal and the place look great with new team and manager then came back again looking forward to visiting again but I was stocked that the manager was let go and the new one is awful she was walking around just talking to the team ( well the 2 that was on ) food wasn't good had a meal deal from primer inn wish I saved my money didn't have much in the menu blaming it on delivery..kitchen team wasn't the best was on the table near the kitchen I can here everything they was saying including the night out and stuff they have done on that night out...place says on Web side food stops at 10pm and bar closed at 11pm but kitchen was in darkness by 9.30 so didn't order pudding and the bar was closed by 10.30..I left as the bar staff was looking at me all the time so I felt that I was getting rushed or push out...I went back to the hotel was in my room for 10 minutes and forgot my umbrella so went back to the beefeater to get it and when i got there the door was lock and the team was drinking in the corner they seen me and didnt open the door i try to tell them i left something in there they told me to come back tomorrow .day with meal deal I have the breakfast walk in and was met with and old guys rude as told me that thay didn't have any tables got to go in the bar area I had a booking at 8.30 he gave Me the menu and was told where to go...went to the food for hot plate and the food was dry and looked like it been there all morning egg hard bacon under cooked and bean dry..coffee machine wasn't working right so I spoke to the girl manager from the night b4 ( she not a morning person) ask her for hot water and she told me the water over there I told her it wasn't on and didn't work she just looked at me like I was a fool so I walk out and got a refund from primer inn..if I was whitbread I would get the old manager back and start again because the team you got there now is not good and letting the place down...hotel very good but I would go to the spa up the road for food it's better and the team treat you like they care

This is by far the worst meal I have ever eaten. Table booked for 5:15 and The restaurant was half empty on arrival. We waited nearly 1.5 hours before any food arrived. We both ordered steak and my wife asked for rare. What arrived was very well done. Kids meals had various items missing. I ordered a peppercorn sauce which never arrived even asking a second time. I feel sorry for the workers as they are clearly understaffed but this was a shocking experience.

Visited here a couple of times whilst staying in the Premier Inn Excellent and friendly service from all the staff on all visits, particular mention to Steph who was fab, friendly and attentive, all whilst working under pressure due to staff shortages. Food was great to

This beefeater do fabulous food. We had the steak sampler and the ribs and it was absolutely lovely. The staff were great and our waitress Rebecca was very attentive and friendly. Have signed up for the reward card and will definately be using this beefeater in future.

Visited for a Friends Birthday , Megan the waitress was working alone as a delivery was outside but she was very helpful, cheerful & very polite during what was a bust lunchtime. Well done Megan

Went in for Sunday breakfast as I was staying in premier inn, when being greeted at the door the lady was very smiley and attended all my needs continental was filled all the way to the Top and there was so many delicious choices 😋...

We came to beefeater sunday for a breakfast, was lovely and great service. The hot food was amazing and cooked well, Staff very helpful and nice, will definitely be visiting again very happy :)

We visited whilst on holiday in the area and looking for somewhere that was open late. The atmosphere was fairly standard for this type of restaurant and the food was of good quality. The service we received from the staff was very good, in particular...

We normally go to the Beefeater every Sunday for breakfast, but have noticed that after Craig the previous manager has left the standard has dropped, today the eggs were hard and had frilly edges, the bacon was undercooked, the sausages were split and the hashbrowns...

With Beefeater restaurants you usually know what to expect. The general impression is reasonably good. This particular one provided an excellent evening meal, but sadly the breakfast session was awful. On the Sunday morning, the breakfast buffet was laid out (not waitress service). The stone...

Very good value food. I had the sirloin steak, my wife had the king prawn skewers, both meals very good. The service ( Jamie ) was excellent.

Megan was very helpful and polite. Nothing was to much trouble and she was fantastic with my dad who is in a wheelchair. The food was absolutely beautiful 😍

Had a fantastic experience , excellent staff , always smiling and courteous . Always asking if we were happy with our meal , which were. Lovely food cooked to our preference . We would like to single out “ Steph “ who made our evening...

Stayed in the nearby Premier Inn and had breakfast here for one week. There appears to be a problem ordering enough of the most popular items. Staff did their best clearing tables and greeting customers but could probably do with more. There was no decaffeinated...

We had a table of 14 which we appreciate the large numbers wouldn’t have be the easiest to accommodate. Dom and his colleague did an amazing job at looking after us. Everyone enjoyed the steaks!

Very busy and slightly short off staff. But the service from Jaymie was 2nd to non. A very enjoyable evening meal

Had a lovely dinner with my friend. Had a wonderful cheerful server called Megan. Will come again soon

This place was fantastic ,enough dishes on the menu for everyone's requirements. Staff were amazing and when a problem occurred there were quick to respond. Food was delivered quickly and was reasonably priced , also it tasted amazing definitely recommend I don't why this place...

Simply Katie was really helpful and great. Service was perfect and would recommend if you need a quick breakfast 👍

Great service from Katie throughout our breakfast. All the food was hot and fresh and the table was very clean would highly recommend and will definently be returning next time we’re passing through

We had a lovely time as a family and are needs were met as we required space for a wheelchair. Claire was brilliant made us all feel welcome. She also came to check on us to check everything was ok and if we needed anything.

Great start to the day, breakfast at the Beefeater as part of the Premier Inn offer. Good food, lots of choice and lovely staff, thanks Claire.

was in for breakfast and the tall chap that greeted us seemed fine until he interacted with other staff members he was very rude to the servers out front and very rude to the chefs at one point we thought the chefs was going to...

Megan made a huge effort to make my visit super special on my birthday. She always goes above and beyond but I have to also give a big shout out to the rest of the team. They know who they are! I am so grateful...

Birthday meal with family, balloons on the table, food was excellent, Megan who served us was polite, friendly and very knowledgable made the meal special. Will be back soon, we have alreday booked for Christmas Day. Well done Megan.

We hadn't prebooked but luckily got a table. Not many waiting staff for all the chance bookings like us that were just walking in. The staff worked efficiently and hard and nothing was too much trouble. Welldone to you all. The food was tasty, hot...

Just wanted to give Megan a compliment for a wonderful evening. We have allergies and autism and she accommodated us with no trouble. She knew the menu inside out And was able to help us make tweaks.

Lovely meal to celebrate a family birthday. Great service from Megan who was extremely helpful and freindly

They seem to be having a few issues with the stock as the Steak pie was out of stock so we ordered the Haddock and Chips, however the Chef came to us to say they’d ran out of Haddock so would pollock be ok, no...

Very enjoyable breakfast will definitely come again with family and friends best place for a breakfast

Went for breakfast today & what a lovely warm welcome we had from Claire . A lovely smiling face welcomed us & very well spoken. She asked if we had any allergies told us all about the breakfast & drinks . Then seated us by...

Great breakfast and super friendly service from Claire nothing was too much trouble even when it got really busy.

Had dinner over three nights at this location, although there were some logistical issues the staff were all friendly, offering full explanations of the issues they had (basically low deliveries for some food items) and were all professional albeit having to deal with some demanding...

Spent the last part of what supposed to be a nice chilled holiday with my partner here. With beefeaters you get what you pay for but with this place you certainly don’t! Very busy which is fine but next to no food under the hot...

We stayed at the Premier Inn Weymouth and had breakfast through Premier Inn, at The Beefeater. Unacceptable to say the least. The tables were not cleared across the restaurant, leading to cutlery and cups shortages. Tables were sticky and not wiped. Only a few items...

A friend asked me to join him for breakfast recently. I was really surprised. At a cost of £9.50 for pretty well all you can eat as you help yourself and and can go again to get more if you want. The cooked breakfast was...

Another excellent breakfast with friends, food and service by Ricky and his friendly team as always of the highest order. Nothing too much trouble and very happy to recommend the Weymouth Beefeater for breakfast and much, much more.

Food was very good ,cooked really well. Great service,Megan looked after us,took our order,brought our drinks and served our food. All this was done with a smile,eye contact,and a very personable attitude. She was great from initial contact to when we left. A credit to...

Food was good, service was good.. We were seated swiftly, and josh couldn't do enough for us. He interacted so well with us and made our our experience so enjoyable. From my own experience of serving an restaurant manager it can be a struggle. But...

Amazing!!! Drinks arrived nice and swiftly the food was fab! Nice portion sizes and soooo juicy and flavorful, will definitely be returning and we do recommend it to friends, thank you beefeater team!!!

Fantastic food , good value and a wonderful waitress Annmarie. Well worth going.👍 . Lovely atmosphere

We arrived without a booking and were told there was an hour wait to be seated, which we were happy to do and sat out in the evening sun. We ordered our food within 5 mins of being seated but waited almost another hour before...

Me and my husband visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago. We had great service from Megan, she was very friendly. The food was delicious.

Excellent food and service, but outside entrance needs attention, very run down i thought twice about entering the restaurant but glad I did giving the staff the opportunity to excel.

I have went there for a dinner with family. First time was really good waiting times were fine and dinner was really scrumptious!!! Second time was disaster we arrived just after 7pm for dinner for 2 adults and 2 kids We have waited over 1h...

I have been to this beefeater many times and alway found it friendly good service food ok for the price you pay but today it was a total shambles sides for our lunch came out ages before our lunch our pompadoms swimming in a pool...

We waited about 40 mins for our food to arrive. Other people who came in after us got food before us. The food comes out of a bag if you order the curry, it's either deep fried or microwaved. Although the steaks are gridded but...

Having deciding on where to dine we opted for the Beefeater which turned out to be an excellent choice .We were greeted by Dominic who left us in the capable hands of Georgia who fulfilled our needs nothing was too much trouble .I had the...

On arriving at the restaurant it was obviously very busy not helped by the online booking system, we could see the staff were extremely busy however we were seated quickly and drinks and food order was taken. We thought we would have to wait a...

Family of four catered for very efficiently with food better than expected. Excellent service at peak time. Josh a star. Kids eat free voucher very welcome. Quality and quantity on kids plates was good. All the staff appeared to be working very hard to keep...

Seated and served quickly by Megan, who was fun friendly and efficient. Food okay seems over priced unless voucher applied. My main issue was the chef, who used the 'F'word several times loudly while talking to colleagues, despite families with young children in earshot. Disappointing...

Waited 2 hours for our food. It arrived cold. Deserts never turned up. Clearly not enough staff!!!!!!

Booked a table for dinner to meat family who we’re staying in premier hotel When arrived they had problems and restaurant was shut As we had gotten a taxi to get there and family had driven from Cornwall 6 hours due to traffic hold ups...

Was absolutely appalling, arrived to be greater by a very rude man, who said he don't have any tables, so we booked online, and we got a table for 6 in 5 minutes time, so we approached the rude man again, taken to a table,...

Arriving the venue looks tired and in desperately in need of a make over. Over many years we have use this establishment, when holidaying and also used while travelling on business. The bar facility is no all but gone, so any travelling on business have...

Very disappointing no veggie sausage, only one pack of Nutella, all croissants gone by 9:10, no syrup !!! Lovely staff fighting with the lack of deliveries and having to fend off annoyed customers

lack of staff , booked in for 2015 ordered starter and main, main turned up after asking 1hr later, had to ask where starter was. rib/chicken meal overcooked, calamari bitsy burnt, cheese mushroom starter bread not toasted skinny fries cold. staff member apologetic.

Booked table for 4pm so was not busy. Food was nice and hot, service was absolutely abysmal, took 2hrs for 2 courses, had to chase server for sweets as we had waited 40mins from ordering the sweets.

We came here for dinner expecting to have to eat outside as we had two dogs with us. I popped in and enquired if we could sit inside and we were allowed on the hard floor area, by the front door. We were pleased with...

We were on a family holiday, looking forward to having a meal out. Unfortunately it took us 2.5 hrs to have 2 courses and that was with me chasing to have our food order taken after 40mins of being there. With 2 children it was...

We had a Fab meal with a wonderful waitress Olivia happy to accomate the changes in our menu ie salad changes and drinks. She was very polite and a pleasure to be around

Olivia was a fantastic waitress sorted out the salad with no problems Olivia was full of smiles and very helpful and friendly

Excellent service and the food was gorgeous. We had steak, a grilled chicken burger and a beef burger. Modifications were done with no problems. Staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend

Good food and atmosphere. The staff ,Hazel in particular were very attentive and made it a good experience. Good value for your money.

another pleasant lunch served by the lovely Georgia. Very helpfull and pleasant and got to see Craig!!!!!!!

Good quality food, quick service from Georgia, will be back. Took advantage of 50% off coupon. Went at 2pm, quiet time.

Just find somewhere else to go. Service slow, not enough staff. Don't know what the actual fish is that they state is Haddock on the menu. A soggy mush. My partner's smothered chicken melt was simply average.

Went to beefeater in Weymouth on July 10th for my birthday meal. Anne-Marie was our waitress. She was nice, polite, happy & running around like a headless chicken, with style. Food was lovely. Unfortunately they had ran out of coke & choc nibbles. But overall...

Just returned from a superb buffet breakfast, friendly hard working staff, and the management team are very good, we will return next Sunday.

What a lovely evening out. We were advised of the wait time for food before we ordered giving us an ample opportunity to decide if we were willing to wait or not and we're very pleased we did. We were served by Megan who could...

Visited for a family birthday, two hours and we only managed main course, food was cold when it came out, when we complained we were told they would replace it but this was not received. More drinks never materialised and when we queried the bill...

Staff are excellent but not enough of them. Why? Restaurant decor etc, very nice Food, we both had ribeye steaks and fries. Steaks very thin for the price I am sorry we have been to this restaurant 3 times now the food is not up...

Amazing food and service, Craig the manager makes it! We're local to this restaurant; we've been here a lot over the years and can honestly say we've never had a bad meal. Today we've had another good laugh with Craig and been made to feel...

Celebrated our Anniversary here tonight, after not visiting for a while as was disappointed with last visit, greeted by Craig, took straight to our table that was decorated for our Anniversary, which was a lovely touch, and good customer service. Ordered and drinks arrived promptly,...

Craig the manager was a great laugh great service from megan and Craig food was great couldn’t fault anything

overall a disappointing evening. The food was what you would expect from a Beefeater but, whilst my tolerance levels for poor service are pretty high, and I understand that it's hard to recruit staff to a location such as this, there were so many issues...

Waiter Craig was lovely and funny made our visit very pleasant. Food and service very good. Used our offers no problem saving loads.

My friends and I went to the Weymouth beefeater today and we were served by Craig he was rely helpful and friendly it made our experience lovely we will be back

Olivia is absolutely fantastic, friendly, polite and very good at her job. The food was very tasty with a special gluten free menu. The puddings were delicious.

where to start.... it took several minutes to actually be seated, staff just looking at us as they walked past rather than actually wanting to help. Breakfast well.... cant keep up with demand, theyre constantly out of food, when food is finally bought out a...

This has been the worst breakfast ever. Nothing was replenished food that was there was cold. Staff rude. Ordered poached eggs waited 28 mins then asked again to be told sorry I forgot I was busy. On arrival wasn’t greeted for longer than 5 mins....

We went there as we were able to take the dog in. We both ordered steak, 1 medium/rare, other well done. Server didn’t know which was which and he looked like the chef!!!!! Decent plateful but food was only warm. Surroundings weren’t the cleanest. One...

Staying in Weymouth on a vacation I called into the local Beefeater I had my favourite the smoothed chicken and they have a jacket potato as an option the meal and service was excellent and for my dessert I had the Apple pie with ice...

Menus and table were filthy. Seats were ripped and dirty. Put on a table with minimum natural light. Was cold and dark. We're told it's was a temporary table and we would be reseated when our table was available. Our table was then given to...
