Visited this establishment many times prior to COVID for breakfast and have always been happy with food (buffet) and service. Unfortunately, after our visit today we will not be returning for breakfast. We felt like a complete inconvenience, no welcome or smiles. Abrupt service. We did book our table for 10am but rushed as soon as we sat down. As good as kicked out at 10:40. No orange juice or pan au chocolate so not a good start! When asked what we “wanted” my sister said “could I have everything but the meat” so the veggie cooked breakfast and she replied “you have to tell me what you want” I found this really rude and tbh I just wanted to get up and leave! I asked for cranberry juice which I never got. I understand that the pay probably isn’t great, but to be in this kind of profession you need to be friendly and at least pretend you like your job and people!

Me and a friend visited in the evening of8th of June 2021 for drinks and a meal.I ordered a starter of loaded potato skins. LOADED ? Hardly and they were dry cut in half chips for £6.........I paid but said at the time they should revise the wording. Then I had mixed grill with rare steak.......the meal was fine apart from the steak which was ALL gristle and not edible. Will go back for drinks only as the food needs much improvement if you compare to other half decent same price point restaurants, and 2 onion rings on the plate, thought was a bit mean. On a plus good location and friendly staff.

A bit disappointed as I ordered a meal which included potatoes and veg only when I received it I had no potatoes or veg. When questioned why I got told that it was ordered off an old menu and doesn’t come with potatoes and veg. Why did the waitress not say anything when I ordered it. I could of changed to a different meal. Or offered chips.

We have been regular visitors of this pub for years and can honestly say we won’t be returning!Whoever employed the manageress needs shooting! Where are her customer service skills, she clearly didn’t want to be there and had no intention of being friendly/helpful at all! Food was sent back also as the steak was stringy and rubbery, was supposed to be fillet!!! Our waitress was actually very nice which is why I didn’t give the place one star!

Table for 4 last night, it wasn't too busy and the server was pleasant, drinks arrived and we ordered starters and our main, quite a wait and our main arrived, we explained we had not had our starter! Ordered more drinks while waiting and starters arrived all luke warm which for calamari and chicken coujons disappointing! When mains did arrive my partners chicken had been reheated under the grill, probably the one we had seen earlier, dry as old boots which was sent back, the replacement was cold in the middle and inedible so was returned too. Kind of ruined the whole experience of eating out, our first since last year and with family we have not seen since before Covid, quite sad really.

A first visit to this pub, and I have to say was a little disappointed, I had the lamb roast, as did my GF, we both commented on how tough it was, roast potatoes are frozen ones which was a little disappointing, veg was hard which I don't personally, the others had steak which they said was OK, trio of fish was just that no potatoes or chips or anything very disappointing, it's not cheap so I personally expect a little better for the money, restaurant have to be careful,I know its been tough for them, but it you start cutting corners and offering low quality food, people won't come, I certainly won't If I feel I'm not getting value for money, and on this occasion I don't think I did.

Have been lots of times and has always been good, we decided to come for christmas meal after they reopened but really dissapointed the food was cold and tasteless the stuffing and pigs in blanket were rock hard the veg was cold and undercooked turkey was ok but cold, the prawn cocktail starter was ok but the dessert was a joke just ice cream with a few after eidht mints thrown in, we came here when they reopened after the big lockdown and I had the surf and turf which my husband had this time both times nowhere as nice as it use to be, the service was excellent but would not revisit unless it improves

My family and I would highly recommend the Beefeater on the edge of Harlow/Sawbridgeworth.After looking forward to a visit to Pizza Hut all afternoon, upon entry we were met with a young and fed up lad. He told us we werent able to use cash at this establishment and needed to download their app to order our food or even be seated. We ended up standing in the entrance whilst our phone tried hard to download their app, to no avail (this had taken approx 15 mins at this stage). I asked if we were able to verbally place our order as the girls were starting to get hangry and irritated to which this fed up young lad said 'if i have to'. Im afraid I had lost my patience at this stage, their app was not downloading, my back was starting to ache and we were getting no where fast. I decided at this stage to tell Pizza Huts 'jobsworth' their new rules and awful customer service upon entry is losing them money and custom and we promptly left. I was not going to spend our hard earned money where basic customer service was a chore.We decided to pull in at the Beefeater as the kids were fed up after waiting so long to find somewhere that Covid had not tainted. Whilst the Covid rules were in place, the staff at Beefeater were not overly anally retentive or rude and the restrictions were barely an issue. The service at Beefeater was a welcomed surprise and I had to compliment them on their professionalism, service and manners within 20 minutes of being in there. It was like a breath of fresh air. We were met at the front door (after only waiting a few minutes) was then led to a table (after asking our girls where THEY would like to sit) and was given a seat with a veiw (a small jesture that goes a very long way) we were spoken to like customers and NOT selfish, disgusting, lurgy spreaders which made a huge change. The young lad who had greeted us and then served us was kind, polite, funny and engaged with my girls without making them feel like they had the lurgy either. We were NOT expected to jump through hoops in order to spend OUR money with them.Our food came fast, was hot and tasty (or 'deelish' if you asked my girls)' the drinks were refilled almost immediately and the atmosphere within the staff team on that particular shift was relaxed and extremely welcoming. My girls said that they wanted to go back the very next day, which is a huge compliment really as they are fussy about eating (or my cooking possibly). We were given a little Christmas pack in a bag when our meal was finished, which gave us an idea of what their Christmas dinner and dine would be like and compared to what I have observed so far, they are worth having a look into.Covid may be a part of our everyday lives at the present moment, but in our small opinion, it shouldn't mean manners are out of the window, it shouldnt mean no greeting smile and it shouldn't mean no eye contact or being made to feel like serving us will be a chore. Asking your customers to jump through hoops without being seated for upto 15 minutes is a huge NO NO for me.We are the paying customer and even with restricted movement on a daily basis it is our choice where and who we spend our money with as far as I am concerned. Beefeater in our small opinion has not lost sight of this and will definately be seeing us again soon. Hope you all have a similar experience too.

I’ve always had a great steak here and superb service. The service was top notch as usual and thanks to them in these trying times, however, the steak was the worst I have ever had in the beefeater full of gristle and so so thin, about 1 cm, I was very disappointed. I can understand that times are hard but the quality of the steak was appalling and, in my opinion, the chef a should be embarrassed to serve a steak of this quality. I will not be going to the beefeater again for a very long time.

Took refuge here from adjacent Premier Inn and got a warm & friendly welcome despite facemasks. Dinner provided decent food and excellent service from Laura, even though like other staff she was rushed off her feet. Great pity though that, in these times, Beefeater have resorted to only issuing the tiny paper napkins that are wrapped around the cutlery - tissues out of a cardboard cube box are bigger and stronger. Eventually, some of the originals were found & supplied to us.Breakfast was a different experience, same friendly service from the staff on duty (but same atrocious napkins). Unfortunately, there were nowhere near enough of them - they had to keep breaking off to see to customers entering & waiting for tables. A host was definitely missing!As a result it was a long wait for food, looked like only 1 chef in kitchen and plates stayed too long on the pass before taken to tables, and it was at best luke warm on delivery. Also, items ordered were omitted. Even the "fresh" Costa Coffee came tepid. We ended up walking out, our breakfast thankfully being effectively "free" from what we saved the previous evening by pre paying for a "meal deal"

I took my daughter for her birthday meal at Harlow Mill Beefeater. On entering we saw a young girl worker with her Jean's hanging from her bottom and her underwear on show. After a short wait we were seated by our server, who clearly had an issue and made us feel very unwelcome. The starter flat bread and mushrooms were fine albeit microscopic amount of mushrooms! The main course arrived, we ordered sticky ribs, fries and coleslaw. The ribs were definitely not marinated in a bbq sauce and almost tasted like gone off boiled meat served cold! Coleslaw was sloppy and one bite of an onion ring resulted in a mouthful of oil! On complaining the server became confrontational and took our Genuine concerns personally. The birthday meal was a disaster, the food standards are appalling and the service matched the awful food! We will never return and would advise people to not celebrate any special occasion at Harlow Mill. Come to think of it any occasion!

We were a party of five and were shown to table 29/1 which is comfortable and suits us fine. We were impressed by the Corona virus procedures they had inplace and we all felt very safe. This was our first visit here since March when the lockdowns started and so was looking forward to a nice evening with good food. The staff were very cheery and our server Pamela L, was very good but the food let the evening down. I ordered the sirloin steak cooked medium rare with a side salad in place of chips. The steak was very thin and looked more like a minute steak rather than a thick juicy prime steak as advertised and was cooked medium/well done. It was also very chewy and not very pleasant. One of our party ordered the mixed grill which comes with a 4oz rump steak which could not be cut with the steak knife and he complained and it was quickly replaced with another one which was just as bad. He took this one home to feed to the dog who will eat any thing. Beefeater used to be renound for serving quality steaks cooked to perfection but something has gone seriously wrong somewhere in the supply chain and strongly suspect that cheaper cuts are being ordered and at the same time hiking up the prices which now match quality steak houses. It is a shame that quality and preperationof the food is slipping and we shall think twice before returning soon.

After checking the social distancing. We asked if they had a table as had not pre booked. The signage, one way system, hand gel, screens up and not all tables open, menues one time use, they were well prepared for a safe environment. Our waitress stayed socially away for our order and served drinks on a tray left on the table. All this made for a comfortable meal out. The food was cooked to our order and we enjoyed it. We would definitely return.

Having been to this Beefeater many times over the years, I was very dissapointed with my last visit. I feel the place has gone right down hill.. Whilst I was impressed with there social distancing thry had in place. i.e screens i nbetween tables, staff keeping their distance and a one way system. The food was absolutely atrocious.. I ordered my usual prawn cocktail, rib-eye steak and my daughter had fish and chips. Prawn cocktail 5 prawns with a stale tasting sauce and some very limp lettice. My rib-eye as thin as a bit of paper( I acrually questioned myself if it was even a rib-eye) was stone cold. and def not cooked to my request of medium..I backed it straight away and it was replaced, not very hot the second time and by then I had eaten the chips and salad ...so just ended up with a steak on its own.My daughters fish and chips was so greasy she left it all. This was the first visit to a restaurant since lockdown I wish I hadnt bothered. We will definately not be going to this Beefeater ever again... They need to take a good look at there chefs.. The place is a joke.

Just returned from this restaurant and overall slightly disappointed. Haven’t been here for a number of years, but fancied a drive out of my local area and wanted to see after renovations what it was like. Car park big enough to find spaces as it was raining, so happy there. Nice and covid safe with sanitiser on entry, which makes for a confident start . Not very busy which was good for service, had a laugh with waitress which is always nice. Starters all good but my main wasn’t very hot and had to send it back for a slight heat up. My other party members enjoyed their food but also said not very hot but didn’t want to complain. Felt a bit rushed after that and came away slightly disappointed. Would go back again but not too soon . Sorry

The layout has one way systems in place and the food is cooked to order and brought to the table. Limited menu for continental breakfast but cooked has a great choice sadly no poached eggs. The food was tasty and drinks were the normal get your own hits drinks but fruit juice was brought to the table for you on request. Enjoyable experience with the family. Usual track and trace and COVID sanitising in place and as I said one way systems and plastic screens between tables they have obviously tried to make everyone feel safe as well as make them welcome.

Ate here whilst staying in the Premier inn next door. To be fair they were busy but that can have coem as no supprise. On entering the pub we were at a head of a queue of about ten people, took ages to be seated. When we were seated it took ages to place our order. We were in a possition where we could see the pass and food was sat under the lights on the counter for ages. When our food came it was the same so the food was dryed out. The next morning was even worse, we had to go and find a waitress to get a table and again when seated waited ages to order. We then waited ages for dryed out greasy food. The room was packed, only one person cooking and 2 serving, worst case of cheep skate managment i have ever seen. Eggs over cooked bacon like card. The thing is Beefeateds are not cheep, taking my score from poor to Terrible

Was told to come in last night due to bad experience last time. Food was again Luke warm. Chips were practically cold! Peppercorn sauce was not hot either. The servers knew that we were there having a comp meal and we could hear them talking about it at the till. A boy called Dan served us and gave us the bill and shouted so loudly about us not realising that the side to go with main would be chargeable. For at least 2 minutes he belittled us and made my boy so upset they had to leave. There was another customer at another table who shook his head and told me that the waiter Dan should be ashamed of himself. You don't shout at or humiliate customers. The worst customer service we have had in a long time! Dan, Shame on you. You are completely full of yourself and should never work as a waiter nor in customer service.

Atmosphere good, quite busy so I thought handy we booked. I had scampi and skinny fries it was only £5. I paid extra for side salad. For the price point it was fine. Waitresses were welcoming and I will return. At the end of the day that's a plus in anyone's book

Basic Rump steak was great Take advantage of the Premier Inn meal deal. It limits your free choice but I couldn’t have eaten a nicer steak. Perfectly cooked, tender etc. Very fast coming out too.

We were a party of five and booked table 6 which is very comfortable and offers lots of room. The place was very busy which is good to see and it gives a good "buzz" to the evening.Our server, Leona S, took our drinks and food orders very promptly and nothing was to much trouble for her and she was very bright and cheery. I had the fillet steak cooked medium/rare with a dressed salad in place of chips and the dish was delicous and very filling. The rest of the party all had different choices with no complaints from any body and we all had a great evening out and shall certainly return again soon.

Food and service terrible. Every piece of food ordered dry and tasteless and cold it was late with no apology even . No skinny fries which was part of the meal, and when we asked for them once again no apology and they told us we said we told them no fries which we didnt. They finally turned up 30 mins after we finished our food cold. Once again no apology the waitress didnt even look us in the eye. When ordering drinks we had to ask for glasses if the drinks were in a bottle ie appetizer juice drinks etc! Nobody behind the bar they were not even busy we will never come back and not recommend. The customer service was appalling. Tuna and chicken taste the same tough and dry.

Been here quite a lot but never felt that it was anything to write a review on but this time was different! Had steak and lobster and I must admit, it was cooked to perfection and was the best meal I have had in an extremely long time. Bottomless coke too. For a family of 3, the price was reasonable and the service was brilliant. Definitely try the steak and lobster!

Had a lovely evening, not only do they do food for the meat eaters, but they also do a good selection for anyone on a plant 🌱 base diet, that was also very tasty. Servers are very helpful and lovely especially the host Carly.

Booked well in advance and asked for a quiet space as we had needs within our party. We were seated in the busiest part of a very over crowded restaurant. Our order took 40 mins to be taken he food was wrong and cold when it came out. The waitresses were friendly and apologetic but we're clearly under staffed.

With much debating on writing this Ive decided to tell you my story! So me and my family went to this beefeater for my brothers birthday . We paid the bill and left ? The service wasn’t great if iam honest) 4 months later the bill came out of my account ( which I automatically thought I’d been charged twice! Turns out I wasn’t charged first time! So they decided to take the money back 4 months later! I contacted the restaurant several times in which I had no response! I had to complain further up the line! This money wasn’t allocated for four months later and so my mortgage didn’t get paid! The restaurant said there wasn’t anything they could do except offer me £20 compensation which I thought was an insult! Then they closed my case! We won’t be going back there! Management are terrible and head office are worse!!! Iam just lucky Barclays have a better understanding!

Visited the Harlow Mill Sunday 27 October with my daughter and Fiance. The chap at Reception was welcoming & friendly & although we had to wait for about 5 minutes we were swiftly shown to our table. The menu is extensive, reasonably priced and varied. Felda our waitress couldn't have been more friendly or welcoming & right from the get go we were in a really nice environment with efficient staff & delicious food. I have to say that there was 1 occasion before where the service was the other end of the scale but this time it made our whole eating experience a pleasure which was especially nice as we were celebrating my late Mum's Birthday and also the finalising of my daughter's wedding plans! With the Beefeater you know what you are getting but the chefs here t Harlow Mill are really good and it just makes for easy, enjoyable dining out. And we all had the roast dinners 2 beef (13.99) and 1 chicken(11.99) with extra roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds. The portions were great, really good choice of veg & delicious! Definitely worth a visit:)

Went for Sunday dinner, I wanted the Oven Baked Camembert for a starter after waiting about 10 minutes I was told they had run out. There was not another started I wanted so I sat while my husband ate his which was the chicken wings, he said they were good. For the mains I ordered the ribs and my hubby ordered the mixed grill. My ribs were nice but the mixed grill was not nice the sausages were burnt and the steak was so thin it could only be cooked well down unless you ate it raw. Hubby complained about the sausages and was told as they were cooked on the griddle that is how they come. The waitress took them away and said she would get better ones. Then she came back and said they would need to be cooked from raw and would take a while. Hubby told her not to bother as he would have ate the rest of meal by the time the sausages were cooked. The rest of the mixed grill was not what you would expect for the price they charged and in the end he left most of it and told the manager he wasn't going to pay for it which they excepted. They offered us the desert menu which we refused as we felt enough was enough. We have been to this Beefeater before and we will never go again. The waitress was lovely and I felt for her as they were so busy she was run off her feet but did try to serve us the best she could.

Turned up last night for a meal, all was going fine, ordered a bottle of wine but then changed our minds which was fine. Food came out and my mum has to send her meal back as it wasn’t cooked to how she asked it, got told she was going to get a fresh piece of steak, only for the steak she sent back to come back out black and still rare in the middle. My mums boyfriend ordered a mix grill for the sausage the be raw as well as the ham. The steak was too tough to cut through and chew. My boyfriend got chicken and chips and he said it was fine. Also mine was fine but I had a very big bit of fat running through the middle so I had to spit most of it into my napkin. The bill came to £128.50 and was charged for the wine that we did not have, when we questioned this we was then told that we was lying about not having the wine, finally got the refund for the wine but was very disappointing. Mum and her boyfriend won’t be staying at the premier inn behind the beefeater again because of this experience which is a shame because they come down to visit me very often. Such a shame. Hope the staff get more training in customer servicing as this was horrible. To be called liers because of the wine, put I dampening to the end of a very good evening. This is now the second time it’s happened, but we gave the another chance for it to happen again. So would not recommend for mediocre food and bad service.

We were a party of five and on arrival, we were shown to table 6/1 which is in a recess and is very comfortable. We were warmly greeted by the duty manager who introduced us to Lois S who was to be our server for the evening. We all ordered different dishes and there were no complaints from any of the party. the food was very good as was the services of Lois S and shall certainly return in the near future.
