We did not quite enjoy our dinner today. Unfortunately, we felt the quality from Preto had gone down hill. The meat were bland and the salad were dished without any effort plus the feijado was the least tasty that we had. A family of 4 cost us almost £100 with only 2 coke and tap water. Sadly, we will not be returning soon. The service charge of 12.5% isn’t good too with NO ketchup and Bottled water in the whole restaurant.

We had a lovely experience at Preto Churrascaria! The meat was so tasty — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right. You can really tell they care about quality. The service was also spot-on; everything was smooth and well-organized, and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. It made the whole experience feel warm and relaxed. Definitely a spot we’d come back to — highly recommend if you’re craving a great Brazilian BBQ vibe!

We've just left and had a great time! The service was fab our waiter was happy and friendly and explained how the restaurant worked, making us feel welcome and comfortable. He made us some great cocktails- my strawberry daiquiri was the best one iv ever had. The meat was cooked perfectly and came round quickly and frequently. The flavours were lovely and a good selection from the salady section- we will definitely come back again! Thankyou

Fantastic experience. Incredibly accommodating with us where we had a member of our party in a wheelchair. Service was fantastic. Incredibly friendly and helpful. Staff let us know when they had food at the buffet redone. Rui and William were wonderful, Rui brought our meat around and helped one of our party with getting the meat cooked at the right level for them. The food was brilliantly cooked and so tasteful and a lot of variety for our gluten free child. William made sure that we were well attended and that everything was OK for us and made sure that we had enough drinks. We've been before and will definitely come back again. Thanks for a wonderful meal.

I just had an amazing meal at Preto! The rodizio was incredible—so many delicious cuts of meat, all perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The highlight was the juicy picanha , but honestly, everything was top-notch. The salad bar was fresh and offered a great variety of sides. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was lively but relaxed. Definitely left satisfied and will be back for sure!

Firstly, I just want to say that everything except for the massage was great. Location, staff, facilities and food are amazing. But the massage was awful. We booked a couples full body massage and the experience I had compared to my girlfriend were vastly different. She got a full body massage where the lovely lady asked her about firmness, action areas and was relaxed. I got stroked, tapped and 10 minutes of playing with my hair (we checked, this isn't part of the massage). This is the first time a massage dragged for me. The masseuse seemed to not want to be there, took little to no pride and more importantly didn't let me relax. Every 15 minutes she'd ask a question in a loud voice. For example asking when I was booked in for, halfway through tacking me out of the little relaxation I felt. Icing on the cake was that I could see everyone else who left was guided back with a water to rehydrate. I was abandoned, kicked out the room to fend for myself and wasn't offered any water. My girlfriend loved it, I got stroked, poked and came out feeling stiffer... We did complain and to the credit of the lovely lady on reception she took down notes and agreed that it wasn't what I had paid for. Hopefully we hear from them and we can get a resolution. Issue is after this, I was in a pretty bad mood as we paid good money for 2 massages and 1 was shocking. My advice, go else wear just to ensure you don't get one person.

I placed an order for 3 hot chocolates and a croissant for us and then changed one of the hot chocolates as I have intolerance, the 2 hot chocolates arrived and i received a refund and ordered an apple juice which i thought would be instant as 2 drinks had already arrived. Whilst the 2 hot chocolates were being drunk I waited about 15 minutes.. still no apple juice. In the end we just left and i had no drink, very poor service we will not be returning.

This is the first bad review I've ever left because I felt the need to. I placed an order via JustEat. Estimated delivery time was 50 minutes. 50 minutes later, the app said by order had been delivered, but it hadn't. I waited in the street for a delivery driver and checked my phone for any messages or missed calls. Nothing. I called the restaurant directly and was immediately hung up on. Another hour later and still no food. I never received my order and received a refund from JustEat instead. Avoid ordering with them if you're using a food delivery service.

Had a lovely stay on Saturday. Beautiful 4 poster bed. Comfortable and huge. Found the room to be relatively quiet, which is exactly what we wanted. Breakfast was plentiful, but eggs and bacon were slightly overdone to our taste. The only criticism I can give is that there were a large group of guests that had been to a wedding the previous day, and they were exceptionally noisy at breakfast. So much so that we ended up walking out before finishing our meal. Might have been more acceptable if the staff had asked them to keep it down a bit.
