New review on a second visit. How very disappointing. The potato dippers with cheese for £6.49 was basically chips with a sprinkling of cheese. Calamari was overcooked and very greasy and burnt tasting. The prawn cocktail was fine. Main course of two salmon meals was fine from a taste perspective but was very small. Cost to make would be about £3.50 for ingredients but £17.99 per meal. Surf and Turf, a small steak, 2 prawns and 4 calamari with dry chips, one tomato and one mushroom. Steak was cook ok but overall was too salty. Ingredients cost of no more than £4.50 but charged at £22.99. Deserts are no better than Aldi bought puddings at a £1 and are charged at £5.99 with a bit of custard. To be honest the sticky toffee puddings had no taste either. Wine selection wasn't great because they were changing menus and most weren't available. Overall a three course meal of very average quality with three bottles of wine cost £170. Definitely not good value and would have been far better going to a proper restaurant rather than a fast food eatery. Gone are the days of value and quality. Now seems way too focussed on lower quality food with high profit for Whitbread. Maybe they're just simply being too greedy. To be honest after many years of frequenting, I don't think I'll be going back to a Beefeater again and adding to their profit margins. Such a shame that this brand has fallen down a huge hole!

Update to previous review: We still book regularly for breakfast here on Saturday mornings but walked out without eating today as the coffee machine is still out of action. We last ate here on 5th October when it was out of action and another regular I spoke to said it had not been working the Saturday before that either...so at least 4 weeks without a coffee machine is, in my view, unacceptable - demand a courtesy one or buy a new one! Staff were apologetic but said there was instant coffee available - there is nothing wrong with decent instant coffee, but it is not what we expect when we are paying good money for breakfast...what annoyed me even more was the sign posted on the machine saying 'Oops!!!'. Anyway, we popped round to our local regular Costa for a thoroughly enjoyable (and cheaper) breakfast with fabulous coffee - which we shall probably do for a while now. Previous review: We have been regulars here at breakfast on Saturday mornings for some months now - we find it really sets us up for the day to get loads done. The food is good value for money - we like that orders for cooked food are taken and served at the table whenever you are ready after helping ourselves to coffee and cereal/toast/fruit - unlike some buffets where you take pot luck as to how long the food has been sitting there. We are recognised and feel welcomed by the staff and usually served by Jennifer who is always chirpy and takes time for a quick chat and generally remembers our order better than we do! Only downside at breakfast is the slow speed of the one coffee machine (great quality coffee though) and the inevitable jostling and frequent snipes around the toasters with other customers! We also used to come here for lunch regularly about once a week but find the quality not worth the price lately so tend to now frequent another local, much better quality and value, restaurant. Would highly recommend Beefeater though.

This ‘restaurant’ services the Premier Inn on the same site with a linked door. The contrast between businesses is stark. This ‘pub’ is grubby and tired. Some reviewers seem easily pleased but I thought the food quality was poor and expensive for what you get, The aging rustic design shows a lack of care and maintenance. Food on floor under table stains on chairs paint chips on walls and radiators and worn woodwork. Lighting is non existent over some tables so not ambient but just dingy. I made the effort to engage with the waitress who initially seemed rushed and disengaged she perked up and we had a pleasant chat. I’ve stayed at the hotel twice and if you want breakfast that’s the only close option. Breakfast is OK with enough choice twice the price of a Wetherspoons though. The single coffee machine was broken for both days I stayed. It should be an urgent repair. I should have remembered the poor evening food from previous visit but I was tired and hungry. The second night I walked to the excellent Curry Garden.

Visited here with friends on a Saturday evening. On being seated, we were told the only thing off the menu that night was the half chicken. After ordering drinks, the waitress arrived to take our order, I ordered chicken goujons for starter and the steak and ale pie, only to then be told, there were no pies available, so I ordered rib eye steak and chips. The goujons were fine, tender and tasty. Unfortunately the main was pretty much inedible. The steak was stringy and chewy and I quickly gave up trying to find a nice tender juicy bite of steak. The ‘triple cooked chips’ that should have been golden and crispy on the outside, and fluffy potato on the inside, were sadly neither. They were pale in colour and the potato quite hard and sucked the moisture out of your mouth. I sent the meal back and the waitress was fine about it, and said there had been other complaints about the ribeye. Makes you wonder why they were still serving it… The cost of my main was deducted from the bill. Also, one of our party had lemonade to drink, on the bill this was shown to be bottomless, but no mention was made of this when ordering. Won’t be rushing back for another visit.

Disgraceful. Had the 2 couse meal with the drink offer. One member of the party arrived earlier than the others and ordered a drink at the table while waiting. We then ordered once the rest of the party arrived and because the original drink was not ordered at the same time as the meal, this did not qualify for the 2 course meal with the drink (even though that was the only drink ordered by that party member). Another in our group ordered nachos. When it arrived there was no salsa or guacamole with the order. We asked and the woman serving said it does'nt come with those two since the change of menu. I checked the menu before leaving and pointed it out the menu did say they were included. I was told by the same woman who said it wasn't included, that it must have been mixed in. We do not like being lied to. I complained to a man who I assume was the manager when I left and he did not seem bothered when I said I would never return there again. Please beware if you visit. Penny pnching at its worst!!

It was very busy when we went on Fathers Day, and although there is parking available, it was limited on this day. Staff were very polite and accommodating and did not rush us, wile we waited for others in the party to arrive. As it was Father’s Day, there was a separate menu, which I found quite limited.

I’ve eaten at many beefeater’s this one is just awful!!! Took 7 mins to be acknowledged and then seated the restaurant was quiet with 5 tables eating can’t see why it took so long. The food out (pastries) was overcooked the bread was stale. No Apple juice,Orange juice or Nutella basically no drinks for kids with just a sorry it does say subject to availability and it is the holidays! you would think given that they would have the items kids like then! I will be travelling to Luton beefeater in future where they are much better and always have all the food and drinks available and a much better level of service and quality.

Since my last review, I have attended on a Thursday. I am such a regular I have a table. Today was most disappointing. A meal I usually order that fills me so I can't order a pudding was less than its usual. The burger wasn't even a challenge to McDonald's. I presented a 33% off voucher which was not excepted as I ordered from the regular menu? There were the usual staff who I have the best to report but today my fish and chips(which are usually too much for my tummy to handle) was less than it should have been. As a person that usually goes weekly I was most disappointed

Incredibly rude older woman working here. I think she might be the owner? Not sure if she hated me because I'm African American or because I wasn't a regular. Grasping at straws because all I did was enter, wait in line, and then state my order. She barked that it would be a 10 minute wait. Sure? No issue. I went with my (white) partner, who is from the area. She was *considerably* nicer to him when he ordered after me. As soon as he spoke and she heard a familiar accent, her demeanor changed. But she seemed annoyed at me just existing in the country. I hoped the food would at least be good. Nah. How can fried food be flavorless? Visit this place if you like bland deep-fried batter planks and angry staff. Curry sauce was good though.

Seriously shocking visit. The smell of sewerage/drains was overwhelming. Over £18 for a pint and a half, two lemonades and some crisps. Zero atmosphere and the ale wasn’t even pulled through properly. I felt I was in Royston Vasey (The League of Gentlemen) as there were two old men (the only other customers), who looked at us like we were from another planet. I can quite safely say I’ve never had a worse experience for a quick drink, and to boot it was More expensive than anywhere else in the area. They wonder why pubs go out of business these days. Do better!

We are people who came to the French Horn when it was run by Jean Christophe Novelli and it was fantastic. We have come back every now and again over the years and each time it’s got worse. We went yesterday for an evening mean. We arrived and it was empty. No music no atmosphere and it was really grubby. I knew immediately it wasn’t going to be good. If we didn’t have our daughter with us who was really hungry I think we would have upped and left. The food was flavorless, took ages and was really below average. We had to ask each time we wanted more drinks and it took ages for our plates to be cleared. Understandable if it was busy- but it was not. It’s a real shame to say but we won’t be returning again. This was a real gem that has been left to fall apart.

We booked afternoon tea for four about a week in advance, this was dealt with by the event organiser who couldn't have been more helpful, When we arrived the staff were waiting for us and conducted us to the old library where a single table was prepared for us. We had expected to be in the restaurant and to have a private room was a real treat. Our party included a vegetarian and a gluten intolerant guest. The Chef had prepared separate plates of sandwiches for these two as well as a seperate stand of glutent free cakes. There was a good variety of sandwiches which were obviously freshly prepared and well presented, the cakes and sweets were varied and excellent. The service was A1 and unobtrusive, fresh tea being brought in on request. We all really ate too much, but the food was so nice we just had to clear the plates :-) A very special afternoon for us and we shall return. We do enjoy an afternoon tea when we can ~ our overall service experience here was far better then at Woburn, much quieter and personal than that at Frosts at Willington and better service and fresher food than the at the Swan in Bedford,
