The restaurant was very busy but despite that the service was very quick. Our waitress was Donna. She was so polite and cheerful and made our meal a delightful experience. Donna is a credit to Rackstraws and embodies the traditions of politeness, efficiency attention to detail. We will certainly return to Rackstraws again.

Abysmal. Poor service, not overly friendly, food mediocre, drinks full of ice so half full, & despite not bring busy, the staff there were took ages between ordering, & receiving it. Note also that their so-called customer care team don't care at all, with a blunt, & very disinterested & ultimately unsatisfactory eventual reply. Then after that just ignored!!

Came in for a celebratiory meal of ribs and a pint with my partner this evening. We were served by Georgia, who was amazing, she was attentive, friendly and prompt. 10/10 service Despite being quite busy, food was quick and delicious making for a perfect spontaneous meal out. Thank you very much, we can't wait to come back! :)

A major disappointment, the food was terrible, I ordered the Sunday Roast, oh how wish I didn't! It was warm, dried out with tinned vegetables! Fortunately the portions were fairly small! I will never visit this place again, especially when I compare it with The Brewers Fayre Monkey Puzzle (Farnborough) I dined at yesterday which was much superior. The server asked if everything was okay when the food was almost finished and they were not busy.

One of the better Beefeaters I've been to. Sunday roast was good quality and a tasty range of puddings. Excellent, attentive service. Recommended as a restaurant with menu choices to please all at a sensible price.

Had a retirement dinner for 11 in Rackstraws last night. I have got to say it was brilliant. Everyone enjoyed their food and also I need to mention the lady who was waitress, Maddie. Her timing with each course, remembering each person's order and general presentation was outstanding. A credit to the company. Would recommend going to this place!

We are a group of retired ladies & we meet up once a month, except for school holidays, & always meet at Rackstraws. We were there yesterday & we had the one of the best afternoons. We loved our table for 8, the service from Magdelain(sorry if I’ve not spelt it properly)was wonderful, the food was very good, a few of us love the chicken curry & good prices too! Your Manager is also a credit to your Company. Only small complaint, two of the ladies had to complain about the coffee having a ‘strange’ taste. They were given another coffee which was ‘ok’.

Second time we've attempted to come here for breakfast. Will be the last. Apparently they are not accepting walk it's as it's too busy. Why even promote it then? They then couldn't answer as to why the couple in front of us who were also walk in's were given a table. Both times I could physically count more than 10+ tables available and more tables becoming available. Steeer clear unless you want to wait nearly 15 minutes to be told no.

MAJOR FLY INFESTATION Was sat by the window when there was much availability else where, once seated I noticed the swarms of flies all over the windows trying to escape, huge graveyard of dead flies, how this has not been noticed and dealt with by the restaurant is poor.

Service was on the slow side. There was only one barman working. Not his fault, We were there for opening time on a Wednesday. Suggest they make sure there is sufficient staff on shift and to make sure things like cutlery are full up because we had to wait for that whilst their food was going cold. Overall not negative but certainly not great either. Sorry.

We did eat here at around 14.00.not many people in here. My starter was chicken goujons and a bit of bbq sauce. That was basically it. Looked plain no finesse or inviting. OK I ate it but not great. Then I received my burger and loaded fries. Oh no, no loaded fries just chips so they had to be changed. Oh and also 5 other in our family had to be shuffled around. I was so hungry I did eat the burger and now loaded chips. The chips were a bit unusual taste to be loaded fries. The burger well was just a burger. Nothing special. My daughter was not that impressed with her meal and this was her birthday special meal. They even lost a silver 3 for the cake we bought for her as she was 30 on the day. To me this was an OK meal but really nothing special. This is a place I don't think I will be going back again

We visited on Tuesday 9th April at 7:35pm. The restaurant was about 30% full and 5 workers at the front of house, including drinks. The first perplexing moment came when we were being seated. We asked the lady if we could sit at the table immediately behind the one she assigned but were told 3 words: "no you can't". (The table we wanted and many other tables remained empty for the bulk of our mealtime.) When the food came, we were asked if we wanted any sauces. We wanted ketchup, barbecue & mustard. However, the same lady flagged up that barbecue sauce was an extra 99p! It felt she was almost funny by then. Around 8:30, the restaurant was about 1/4 full, staff started to set up breakfast for the next day - moving tables and chairs away from the middle, opening up the breakfast bar, etc . There was so much for us diners to watch, be it somewhat puzzling as to timing and appropriateness. It took us a long time waiting for the bill, having asked 10 to 15 minutes ago. Only when chased, it was explained that their tills were fine though the card machines were down; the manager was trying to fix. We informed them that we intended to pay cash, not instead. The final confusion came when the bill eventually presented was wholly wrong: the cocktail deal was wrong as well as the food prices. [If they want to response to this, no glossy reply please!]

We are a group of ladies who try to meet up every month at Rackstraws,Sandhurst. We met up today, but sadly we were missing one lady, because she passed away very suddenly on Easter Sunday. The service we had from Donna & the team was excellent & we all enjoyed our lunch. We did stay rather a long time but not once were we made to feel as though we ought to go. So, once again, thank you Rackstraws for helping us get through our sad but in the end our happy afternoon.

To be honest, it was better than I expected. Google reviews for this place in the past had not been great so I expected the worst. Remember that this place plays towards the budget end of the market and is a bit formulaic (it is a Beefeater chain - what do you expect?) but the food was surprisingly good and the staff pleasant and attentive if a little bit slow at times.

If your looking for a good value breakfast, this should be on your shortlist. For 10 pounds per adult (kids eat free), you can enjoy an "unlimited" cooked breakfast and unlimited continental items (pastries, cereal, crumpets / muffins / pancakes / toast and yoghurt). While the food isn't Michelin star, you cant fault the value and staff were very friendly and receptive to our needs (pistachio allergy). The company advertise an unlimited cooked breakfast but we were only asked once for an order and the breakfast items were itemised which meant you felt obliged to order a reasonable breakfast. I'm sure if you wanted more they could accommodate. Overall, I would recommend this place and will certainly go again.
