Now we thought we would try this venue whilst staying at travelodge Peterborough Central. How wrong were we, firstly they don't openly obviously advertise you can prebook, secondly as a wheelchair user they tried to offer me a table accessed by a large step, in a Powerchair no way on earth is this doable, Powerchairs cost as much as small car, if damage occurred would they pay the cost I highly doubt it. There were two tables empty on the lower level, why not offer one of them hmm. All they could say was come back in 30 mins we are so sorry. Not good accessibility really eh. I did notice they had no problem accommodating pushchairs users easily. No why oh why would you put a step up/down to a wheelchair accessible toilet, it's 2025 for god sake. Needless to say me and my party left this venue and found another venue where we had a lovely meal, had exemplary service and were extremely satisfied as there were no accessibility issues.

"Good atmosphere and comfortable seating. The food was very good, a little over priced maybe but good portions and tasty. Service was below standard, disappointing because the restaurant deserves better. Under staffing didn’t help our waiter was running at times. We were hurried to choose our food and the waiter was trying to multitask while taking the order."

Middletons was recommended to us as a good place to eat whilst visiting Peterborough. Staff were helpful and attentive When ordering food at 8.15 we were told it would be 30-40 mins not a problem we drank some poor wine ordered another different bottle by 9.15 when we asked where our food was the staff were apologetic. Food arrived at 9.45 it was terrible my fillet steak (wish I’d taken photos) was a charred lump of overcooked meat with a tiny wilted salad on the side Mixed grill also overcooked and my sons rump steak non descript Thankfully we weren’t charged for our food and came away disappointed and very hungry.

We had our first visit and were not disappointed. We had a very warm welcome as soon as we walked in. I wish I could remember the name of our two servers, because they were absolutely fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and great fun! We both had steaks and the food was delicious. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. We just had main courses as they were very filling, so unfortunately had no room for dessert this time, but the choices all sounded delicious. We opted for a coffee instead on this occasion, and have vowed to return!

Food ** - Small portions, chicken was slightly dry. Male sure you order a side with the main as it’ll not be sufficient enough for an average person. Took 20 minutes to come from ordering which was a plus. Service was painfully slow. Appreciate its Christmas time, however after asking four waiters/waitresses for our drinks, we got them after 40 minutes. Baring in mind we were attending a ‘90 minute bottomless brunch’ which two of the three of us opted out of, only to be told that we all have to opt out, or opt in. We ordered our food which came after 20 minutes. Portions were small, chicken was slightly dry. Sweet potatoes fried wasn’t to bad.

Been on a bottomless brunch had to wait 25mins between each drink. Such shame as Norwich was such a good night on a Friday night (same as tonight) supplied a few bottles of prosecco on the table and drink orders quicker. I understand they are busy but it Seems detailed on purpose and when asked if we could order more when drinks were brought to us we were told we weren't allowed. If we knew this we would order through the normal menu and pay for drinks.

We visited the Steak House in Peterborough recently on a Sunday and were very impressed by how friendly the staff was. The service was attentive and welcoming. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not meet our expectations. While the food was well-prepared, the portion sizes were much smaller than what we expected and paid for. My husband ordered the grilled sea bass with potatoes and steamed broccoli, but the portion of potatoes was very small and the fish was tiny and undercooked. My son and I received a modest rib-eye steak that was cooked ok but not as we had expected from a reputable steak house. It came with a very small salad and fries. It was not cheap and we don’t think it was worth the price. For a steakhouse, we expected more substantial portions that offered better value for the cost. We had our four year-old daughter with us and she was completely ignored, no activities, no kids menu was offered! Overall a disappointing experience for what we paid.

Quote honestly grossly overpriced and seriously overated, having eaten in Newmarket the previous evening as a comparator - which is more upmarket too - every aspect is lacking, atmosphere, staffing, service, food and pricing. Although advertised as open until 11pm the pervading attitude is certainly that they don't want you there with the kitchen closing at 9pm and thereafter everything being cleaned and closed down such that we, a party of six, left shortly after 10pm.

Steak House is a must-visit for steak lovers. Chef Artur works magic on the grill, serving up melt-in-your-mouth tender steaks with rich, smoky flavour—possibly the best you’ll ever taste. The quality of the meat, precise seasoning, and perfectly cooked sides make every meal a delight. The atmosphere is welcoming yet refined, perfect for any occasion. The service is attentive without being intrusive, ensuring a flawless dining experience. For those seeking the ultimate steak, Steak House is a true gem.

I went last night, on 5 October, to eat something as I was starving. I have celiac disease and I told them I needed gluten free. I ordered Camembert cheese with gluten free bread, steak with new potatoes, and they told me they even had gluten free cake. When I was done with the cake, I started feeling very dizzy, nauseated and all symptoms when I have been eating gluten. I asked them again before I left if the cake was gluten free and they said it was. Needless to say I drove 15 min home to Hampton Vale and I threw up allover my car, had to pull over, I was sick and still am. Clearly something they gave me wasn’t gluten free as I got so sick and so fast, which happens when I eat a very big quantity of gluten. I couldn’t move the entire night and my stomach is killing me even today. About this place like the plague ! Horrible and they should not be allowed to advertise gluten free on the menu as clearly they don’t know what it is and what’s not. Oh and I absolutely know how I react when I ingest gluten, this couldn’t jVe been something else. Shame on Middleton!

From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted warmly. Our waiter Andre was very friendly and attentive throughout the whole meal. The food was delicious from starters all the way to desssrt. We started with the belly pork and squid nests, both starters were presented lovely, were hot and tasted delicious. Our mains Ribeye and Sirloin Steaks were cooked to perfection and the peppercorn sauce was divine. Although we were satisfied with what we’d already had we couldn’t resist the dessert menu, both of us opting for chocolate. My husband the fondant and s’mores cheesecake for me. Again presentation was great and puddings scrumptious. The only letdown were the toilets, let’s just say they need to be checked and cleaned a lot more regularly and a little maintenance wouldn’t go amiss. All in all though a pleasant & delicious experience, we will be back.

We recently visited *Steak House Peterborough* during our stay and were very impressed by the exceptional friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The service was attentive and welcoming, making us feel comfortable throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not quite meet our expectations. While the food was well-prepared, the portion sizes were much smaller than anticipated, especially considering the price. I ordered the grilled sea bass with potatoes and steamed broccoli, but the portion of potatoes was so small it barely covered the bottom of the dish. My boyfriend ordered the mixed grill, which consisted of a very small piece of gammon, a modest rib-eye steak, and a small portion of lamb. Despite the quality, the portions left us still hungry. Given the limited portion sizes, we found ourselves needing to order takeaway afterward, as the meal simply wasn’t enough to satisfy. For a steakhouse, we expected more substantial portions that offered better value for the cost. We've included photos to illustrate our experience. In conclusion, while the staff and service at *Steak House Peterborough* were excellent, the portion sizes and value left us disappointed.

For a place that's meant to be 'THE PLACE FOR STEAK' felt rushed to order. Waited 30 minutes for our food and when it came it was cold. The steak wasn't great. We went to Argo Lounge next door a few weeks prior and their stake was so much better and cheaper. The chips had hard unmelted cheese squares on top. Really wasn't impressed when we got the bill and a surcharge was on the receipt. Would have been nice to have been asked first. It's very awkward asking them to take it off, so paid it anyway. Toilets were a mess with broken taps. Also £11 for 3 scallops the size of 50p coins... Staff were nice.

Awful, absolutely awful value for food. Kids meal was 6 (6!) bits of pasta in a cheese sauce, which was supposed to be Mac and cheese. For a steakhouse a worse steak than I'd get in a pub. Service was okay but incredibly pushy and asked way too many times when we were clearly not ready and had a child with us. Value for money genuinely the worst I've experienced.

Restaurant was almost empty besides us and 1 other table. We were rushed to order food, server came over multiple times to ask if we were ready when we were quite obviously not. When our food came the steak was incredibly gristley and chewy, asked for it to be replaced which the cook obviously rushed as it was then extremely under-done. I was put off eating by that point. Kids mac and cheese was mostly cheese sauce with very little pasta in it. Side of greens was basically raw spinach with pea pods sprinkled with a bit of salt. We should have complained more but just wanted to get out of there with our 1 year old. Overall wouldn't reccomend unless you like wasting money on extremely mediocre food. Have had better meat at a harvester.

Went in with my friend yesterday evening, had a mocktail each which was very big, my friend had the Middletons burger which was absolutely huge with a side a choice I tried a bit of her chicken and it was gorgeous. I had ribs and loaded fries which was exceptional and very filling but saved some space for dessert. The dessert option is very broad so the waiter helped me choose, I had the sundae which was very nice and refreshing on such a hot day. Moving on to the service, the two gentleman that served us were very welcoming and sweet , could not fault the service one bit!

Picture the scene. You’re travelling south on the much quieter eastern routes of England from the north to London. You fancy a stop for a bite to eat, but want something more than a motorway service station. You know Peterborough is a nice town, historic and a little bit middle class. You’re expecting the usual branded chain affair, but also some lovely independents. I used google search, I used Tripadvisor… and I couldn’t find any true independent eateries open on this particular Sunday. The closest I could find was regional chain Middletons Steak House. The place wasn’t quiet but it wasn’t busy. It was a Sunday late afternoon, so I probably hit this place after the rush hour. The team were welcoming and I was quickly sat down. I ordered two small plates to start, opting for the croquettes (Braised beef & bechamel in breadcrumbs & smoked mayonnaise) and sticky BBQ wings (Sticky BBQ sauce, crispy onions). To follow I went with the sirloin steak 8oz, which is accompanied by one side, tomato and mushroom. I went with steak frites of course. The starters were okay, but nuclear hot… which says to me pre-prepped food put into a q-ing/microwave. One of my pet hates gave me the feeling that this was correct, and we were dealing with a kitchen of cooks versus chefs; I can’t stand chefs with filthy aprons coming out front and getting themselves a drink or hanging around. Call me a snob, but it looks unseemly and messy. I don’t want to see how the sausage was made. Plus, after 25 years in hospitality of one form or another… that tells me the kitchen is either not busy or they are not cooking. Chefs who cook don’t have time to come out front, grab a drink, and hang out. Judging by the relative business of the floor, this confirms to me that most of the food is being finished as opposed to cooked. This also was reflected in my steak. It was a cheap piece of meat and not the best sirloin I’ve ever had. It was a steak bulk bought from someone like 3663… you could argue though by saying “what did you expect?” and you would probably be right. It was a nice space, the servers were polite, but the food was mass market. It was a perfunctory experience, aimed at not being awful… but not trying to be great.

Call me a snob, but it looks unseemly and messy. I don’t want to see how the sausage was made. Plus, after 25 years in hospitality of one form or another… that tells me the kitchen is either not busy or they are not cooking. Chefs who cook don’t have time to come out front, grab a drink, and hang out. Judging by the relative business of the floor, this confirms to me that most of the food is being finished as opposed to cooked. This also was reflected in my steak. It was a cheap piece of meat and not the best sirloin I’ve ever had. It was a something bought from 3663. You could say “what do you expect” and you’d probably be right. It was a nice space, the servers were polite, but the food was mass market. It was a perfunctory experience, aimed at not being awful… but not trying to be great.

delicious food, reasonable prices. Special thanks to the restaurant administrator, today we had very little time for coffee, and while the waiters were apparently still chewing their breakfast, the administrator himself served us. Thank you!

Having a Middletons voucher to use up we decided to celebrate our 10 years as a couple there. We booked a table and got there a few minutes early, not a problem, we were shown to our table and drinks were ordered. I was left with the choice on what to order, I went for the Chateaubriand steak with extra onion rings, salad and fries, knowing its a 40 min cook, I ordered some calamari too, the calamari bites came with a mayonnaise, both were very tasty, onto the main course...the steak didn't disappoint, it was delicious, melt in your mouth meaty heaven, possibly the best steak I have ever had, the main course was just the right amount to fill you up without going ott...a fantastic meal, not cheap but worth it, celebrating our 10 years...

If I could give more stars I would. Never been here before, and the service was perfection. The food was hot, well prepared, well presented and tasted fantastic. Both Sofia and Alexa was brilliant. Both were very proffesional and not in your face like a lot of other Restaurants. Well done.

The food was terrible. The waitress licked her fingers disgustingly, small and expensive portions. French fries baked in burnt oil. The chicken wings spelled bad!

Went here for the birthday and it broke my personal record for time between sitting down and being served our meals. More than 1.5 hrs! It was so long that our friends had to go and get a McDonalds for their kid otherwise he would have died of starvation. . Food was a mixed bag. Burgers were lush! Chips were excellent. Roast turkey was good, roast beef was tough and stringy. Roast potatoes weren't cooked enough. Carrots and parsnips were almost as wet as the gravy, which drowned everything. Please put it on the side? Starters were better. The pork belly was really good and so was the squid, although it should have been as it cost eight quid for enough to fill an eggcup. Felt a bit sorry for the staff as they were lovely, and it is clearly a kitchen issue. Sorry, wont be back.

Booked a table via email for a party of 9. On arrival I was told no booking had been made and that I had emailed the Leicester branch. I then produced the email showing I had in fact emailed the Peterborough branch, yet the manager tried to tell me two more times that I had emailed Leicester. He then changed his story and said somebody from Leicesters branch had picked up the email and replied, which is clearly untrue as why would someone from another branch pick up their emails? Eventually he accepted and sorted the table, but why not just do this to start with, apologise for the error and give us a table rather than make out it’s my error when I’m showing proof it’s not. The service was incredibly slow, the restaurant wasn’t even busy and there were more than sufficient staff working. We waited a considerable time between starters and mains. When the mains finally arrived at least 6/9 were cooked wrong. Those requested medium were rare and very bloody, a fillet requested medium was beyond well done, it was not what I’d expect from a venue that call themselves a steakhouse, I’d expect a steak house to be able to cook a steak to the required level. Overall very unhappy with the visit. I won’t be returning anytime soon. You’d get a better steak at Harvester for considerably cheaper, and it would be cooked properly.

We booked a visit for Mothers day, I haven't used this restaurant before. Where to start, two of the party ordered Camembert cheese starter, this arrived with only one small bread stick to eat it with, on asking for a bit more, 15 mins later another small bread stick arrived, the cheese was pretty solid by then. The main course included 5 sunday dinners, a Middletons mixed grill. When the Sunday dinners arrived, on cutting into the roast potatoes they were found to be black inside obviously suffering from blight. On complaint these were taken away and 20 minutes later returned, by this time the side vegetables were cold so they had to be replaced as well, some of the veg on plates was gritty and some parsnips were black. The ribeye steak in the mixed grill was extremely chewy and rubbery. The sweets were ok apart from the cheese board which consisted of a white plate with a small piece of cheddar and stilton, a few grapes in a pot and tiny pot of chutney, the biscuits looked as if they had been quality checked by mice, as they were pre nibbled! On a positive note the cost of the sunday dinners was removed from the bill but the overall eating experience was very poor considering the the price of food on offer, this is not a budget eatery. This is the first and last time I will be patronising this establishment.

Awful! Served us mouldy potatoes, and parsnips. Twice! They then brought out another bowl of “freshly cooked” roast potatoes but they were basically just boiled and put in the oven for 10 minutes. Camembert was lump and not cooked correctly and served with a small bit of bread and had to ask for more. Terrible, embarrassing on Mother’s Day! The restaurant wasn’t even that busy.

We booked a table for six to have Mothers Day lunch, oh what an absolutely awful experience we had. All five of the roast dinners we ordered had green mouldy roast potatoes and parsnips, food was taken away by a member of staff to rectify only to be presented with a second plate of green mouldy potatoes, plus they were hard! white wine served warm with no ice bucket and such a long wait in between courses, we didn't pay for the roast dinners but no other compensation was offered. Avoid at all costs and we will NOT be returning again or recommending Middletons and they still had the cheek to charge us £169.00 for what food we did manage to eat.

Went for a meal on a Friday night with a friend, ordered food and to be honest it wasn't the best, the peppercorn sauce which you pay an extra cost for was unlike any i had ever seen before, looked like gravy and had no visible sign of a peppercorn ever having been anywhere near it! I asked if it was what i was ordered and was told that is the way they do it there! We went on to order an after dinner coffee at 9.25pm on a Friday night and were told that the coffee machine was going through its nightly cleaning cycle so no coffee, along with no apology either, so when i decided on a non alcoholic’Nojito’ i was told I couldn’t have one as they had no mint! Also, a cocktail arrived without the advertised chocolate dust on top! Come on guys!! Sort it out! Very disappointing experience after many visits before. Refused to pay the service charge as to be honest the whole experience was sub standard

Este es un buen restaurante de hamburguesas. Primera vez en un restaurante Five Guys. Tenía ganas de ver cómo eran. Una selección de hamburguesas de comida rápida y otros artículos similares que podría elegir lo que desea en ellos. Como ensaladas y salsas y cosas así. Lo que lo hace diferente de otros restaurantes de comida rápida. Pero pedir una hamburguesa de queso con algunos artículos de ensalada, patatas fritas y una bebida gaseosa que cuesta más de £ 20. El lugar estaba limpio y ordenado y el personal era profesional y amable. No volvería con prisa.

Great dinner out for Mother’s Day! We ordered full rack of ribs (really yummy), Margherita pizza - cooked to perfection and I had beef lasagne with a side salad and fries. The beef lasagna was amazing and a really big portion! Really good desserts too - a cheesecake, the chocolate fudge brownies and I had my favourite apple crumble and custard. We were stuffed! This Frankie & Benny’s is always great, has very attentive staff who want you to have great service and really yummy food! We do think we preferred the large menu choices before ' known but understand why the menus have been reduced. Prices have gone up too but no different to everywhere I guess. Compared to Wildwood, where we went tonight, F&B’s is 100% way nicer! Really good vegan menu too!

I made an order an hour ago for collection, we came to collect the 2 pizzas. I’m very sick, i wanted to order delivery but they don’t provide delivery for the area where we live, so had to come and collect it. Now we came, and they said ‘they gave our pizzas to someone else by mistake, because they had a similar name. They are sorry.’ I asked how can this happen? They said ‘they had a similar name’. I asked ‘don’t you ask for their order number when collecting the pizza?’ Their reply was ‘no, we don’t, it’s his mistake.’ Then they asked me for the order number I clearly said I ordered an hour ago so they have time to make it as I don’t feel well, I don’t want to wait for it in the car. Then now, they told me they will make it just now. I’m very disappointed about this service!
