The Smugglers Haunt is a nice relaxed, friendly place where everyone is always smiling and also engage in conversation

9:15am half empty but no tables available. Never get turned away at Harvester! There were only 3 of us, two hungry teenagers and a tired old man.

We will not return. Beefeater isn’t known for gourmet food (nor service) but at the least you’d expect a basic level of friendliness and fair, passable food. This venue clearly didn’t get that memo. The staff (with the exception of one who told us she...

Lovely friendly warm welcome from June and Danielle each time we visit. We visit twice a week for drinks. No matter how rushed of their feet ,they always have time to say hello.

Excellent food and service throughout for the two hours and 12 family members who met there. Mark and Danielle served us throughout; they were both very professional, personable, friendly, patient and accommodating to our various orders. All plates of food came out at the same...

Not only was I disgusted at the food served up, but I was embarrassed for my family that I had suggested we meet here for our monthly meet up having lunch together. I don’t imagine that anyone who remotely resembled a chef, has worked in...

Fabulous, freshly cooked breakfast and wonderful service from the lovely June!!! We weren't going to have a breakfast during our stay at Premier Inn, very glad we did!

The food was fine. My complaint regards the defensive, unfriendly and aggressive behaviour of your ‘duty manager’ Danielle who is, without doubt the most unpleasant, arrogant person I have encountered. When asked about the ‘50% off’ voucher, she responded ‘that doesn’t apply, you should have...

All the staff were really helpful and friendly nothing was to much for them . This is the second time here and I will be back Thank you to June and her staff

I took my daughter and grandchildren to The Smugglers Haunt Beefeater in Ferndown today. I was tempted by their 33% discount voucher. We were specifically told by the waitress before ordering that the discount applied to the roast turkey meal. Not only was it the...

Haven’t been here in decades and thought I’d give it a go. Boy have I been missing out. I had the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection as was my friends ribeye steak. Compliments to the chef. I haven’t eaten steak like that in...

Great full English breakfast with fresh coffee. Relaxing atmosphere. I also enjoyed a friendly chat with June.

I came in for breakfast 2 mornings as staying at Premier Inn. As soon as I walked in June was so welcoming and friendly. She is so on everything to make sure you have all you might need and regularly checking all is OK. She...

I was served by June, who was quick to take my order after I was shown to my table. The cooked breakfast I ordered arrived quickly and was one, if not the best I have tasted in a longtime.

June is a great host, very warm and friendly! She’s a star! Breakfast was equally as good and with a variety of options available.

Always amazing food, good value for money and staff are excellent, especially Danielle Thoroughly recommend !

We stayed at the adjoining Premier Inn for 2 days. We had breakfast and evening meal here on both days. Food and drinks were good and service was friendly and efficient at both times of the day.

Great drinks, great food and even better staff make sure to head down!! Matt, Charliee and the rest of the staff are fantastic

It was not a nice restaurant and I would not eat there again Staff were very rude Food was absolutely dreadful It wants to be shut down

Service was great and food came so quickly. Lots of options to choose from too. Our server, June, was lovely!! Extremely attentive and so friendly and approachable, often asking if everything was ok, if we wanted anything else etc. Couldn’t ask for better service. June...

One of the very few nice places to go for breakfast. The food is nice and most importantly, not greasy. The lady, June, who served us was very friendly. All the tables are cleared immediately after the customers have left, not like some places where...

Had the mix grill which was good apart from finding an egg shell in the meal. Reported it to the waitress who was sorry and told the duty manager. He could care less and was told by the waitress that he was grumpy. The dessert...
