The Badgers Sett in Bromsgrove

I had a great experience in this beef eater, the food was well prepared and the service was very fast. My server Bianca was very helpful and courteous. The best beef eater I’ve ever been too

We prebooked a table using the online reservations, on arrival we was met by friendly staff. We was shown to our table, then proceeded to order drinks and food from the table. We found the meals expensive compared to other local pubs, however we had received a 40% discount hence to say this is the first time we had visited the Badgers Sett for along time. The food we ordered was as advertised and all presented well, had we paid the full price it wouldnt of been money we'll spent. Nothing different to what Harvester, Green King, Stonehouse serve. We was asked was everything okay with the meals when we had nearly finished, and to be fair the few staff that was on shift between 2pm and 4pm was run ragged making sure everyone got the meals together etc. Personally I think the pub could do with another member of staff at least. These staff certainly earned their salary today..

Been many yrs since went here. Looked at bit tired on the outside. Well the two lads who were working were polite and very friendly. The meals were lovely and hot even better with the 40%off. Not normally a pudding person. But the cheese cake was lush. Would definitely go again.

We visited the restaurant for the Sunday roast. Although we did not have a reservation, the manager greeted us with a smile on his face and seated us immediately. The restaurant was quite busy, and despite that, the service was excellent. The food was delicious as well, so we will definitely return.

Restaurant lost our booking so we were crammed into an alcove. The waiting staff although very pleasant was totally inexperienced and out of our depth. The manager disappeared when we had problems and none of the other senior waiting staff spoke to us leaving a young school leaver to sort everything. The wine we ordered was unavailable but it took ten minutes to let us know. Most of the food was poorly prepared but mine was inedible but when I sent it back it could not be replaced because it was the last salmon fillet they had. At no point in this did the manger make an appearance. Downright poor!

We ate their last night and were looked after by Bianca who was very pleasant. For our main meal I had the Ribeye and my wife had the sirloin, both were nicely cooked and tasty so no issues. For pudding we had the applt and blackberry crumble, portions were fine and it was very tasty. BUT here is where it let us down in that the custard portion provided is only very small so we asked for some more which was quickly provided. When we had our bill 50p was added for the extra custard, this is a bit mean given the small portions supplied in the first place. However this did not distract from the meal overall. Are their better places - of course but there are worse places, but for a review I compare Beefeater with Beefeater and previous experience.

Don’t order the Mixed Grill even if you upgrade the steak. Dreadful presentation very small portions of meat and a tiny amount of Peppercorn sauce. Chucked onto the plate with a 2” square of Sirloin steak. Whatever has happened to Whitbread and Beefeater? I know you are closing lots of locations, can I suggest you close this one as well. Generally very tired and disgusting ladies toilets. Will stick to Ember Inns for the best presented Mixed Grill.

Very happy with out meal Rib eye beef and tasty Chicken and bacon cheese melt also puddings were delicious crunchy cheesecake and ice cream and kit Kat ice cream Sundae highly recommend quality of service and good . The last who served us was lovely Hayley .😃

Unfortunately our local Beefeater in Kingswinford has closed and this is our next nearest. We had no problem about the food but, unlike Kingswinford, the service tonight was, to be polite, slow. This was no fault of our server Hayley, but the restaurant was TOTALLY understaffed. Thankfully we’d gone early because, by the time we left, there were a lot of unhappy looking diners.

Poor quality steak, £17.99 for a Rib Eye steak that had way too much fat and gristle on it… I very rarely get a steak in Beefeater as I always have poor quality cuts, here’s another example and reason why I will never purchase another in this restaurant chain. Considering it’s meant to be a steakhouse the quality is poor and prices expensive, a shame really as I do like Beefeater as I stay away a lot in Premier Inns with my job, but fed up with poor quality and sub standard food…. I had a side of Smokehouse tomato sauce for my steak but I fancied some normal ketchup with my chips, when I asked the waitress she said you already have tomato sauce (I was taken aback so I just said ok then). I won’t be staying at the Premier Inn Hagley again. Note if your mobile signal provider is EE then choose another restaurant and hotel as its non existent and the free WiFi is shocking (I’m sure they make it so bad to get you to purchase the £5 so called ultimate WiFi)…

Restaurant very dated the food was alright I had pawns that was over cooked but the watress who served us was lovely & very polite - wouldn’t go again

great food and great service haley was the waitress and she was excellant ! good value for money and very good atmosphere

Hadn't been in for a while so I thought we'd eat here for our night out, we weren't disappointed. Between us we had steak, a mixed grill, and two lots of kids poppin chicken. The mixed grill was cooked to perfection, the steak well done as I requested. My husband's medium rare steak was a little over done but he happily ate it, and the kids enjoyed their food. We finished off with ice cream for dessert. The staff were being kept busy as it was a busy evening, but food came out in good time. The property itself could do with a spruce up in places, but it was clean & tidy so that's what matters. Would happily go back there again.

Absolutely lovely staff. Hayley always looks after us, and is lovely to my friend Amy who has autism. The food is cooked well, and in a timely manner.

When I ordered the manager made a comment under her breath which was rude and made me feel awkward then when my food was brought over half of it was missing and her response was hey ho

We were a table of 5, 2 of us were most uninspired with our food. My partner had a starter of 'cheesey potato dippers'...it was probably the worst plate of food I've ever seen! It looked like chips, covered in melted cheese, and then kept warm for quite a while. The service was not too good either, seemed to wait for ages for our meals. Will not be returning

Normally love this e place with great food but made the mistake of ordering the pie. It's crust was made of concrete and tasted awful. Avoid this. Everything else is generally good

Stayed in the adjoining premier inn, which is very dated and next to join carriageway with nowhere to walk to So, I went for tea at the Badgers Set. Very slow service getting a drink with no one on the bar for the first 5 minutes and pool of drink on the surface. Sat down with drink to look through the menu, due to the cleanliness and feeling like no atmosphere, left for a local chippy.

Firstly even though I specifically asked for “a small coke” - when the bill came I’d been charged for a more expensive bottomless refill. This is the second time - I’ve been twice this year. This makes me wonder if it’s done on purpose. Also even though we arrived early (12 noon) & the place was nearly empty, there was food on the carpet (from the day before?) the place needs a good clean. Food was average which is a shame as went to a beefeater further away last time and the food there was outstanding. Lovely location and nice building but needs a bit of TLC.

The service we received from start to finish was absolutely shocking. Initially we ordered a starter and a main. Whilst eating our starter, the waitress informed us that our meals were ready and did we want them. Clearly, we did not want them as we were still eating our starter. As soon as we had finished our starter we were handed our mains which were cold. We informed the waitress, who then became very rude. She could barely speak and made us feel very unwelcome. We spoke to the manager who had fresh meals cooked. When these arrived the vegetables were cold but we didn't say anything but neither were we asked if the meals were okay. As soon as we had finished our meal, the waitress came and said I'll bring your bill. We said no as we hadn't ordered deserts or coffees. She informed us that the kitchen was closed and that the pub closes at 10pm, although the website says 11pm. Why book somone in at 8pm for a meal if you have to be out of the building by 10pm? It was a race to eat and we felt extremely uncomfortable. We did complain to the manager who said we could not have desert but gave us a complimentary pot of tea. At 10pm, we hadn't finished our hot drink but were asked to pay the bill as the pub was closed. We will never return to this restaurant again. A training need is required in customer service and hospitality.

Recently visited for lunch been many times. Food was fine. Portions seem smaller, but we had a 40% off mains voucher, so good value, not if it was full price. Hayley served us very friendly. As I have mentioned in the previous review, the whole place needs a total refurbish, which looks very tired and dirty, especially carpets and decor.

Visited after our original booking at Kingswinford was cancelled due to essential unexpected maintenance. This was a birthday meal with family (party of 6) on a Thursday evening. Our table was booked for 7:15pm and we FINALLY received our food at 8:45pm which came out burnt. The medium/rare mixed grill that had been ordered was charcoal and had to be sent back and cooked again fresh which came back out at 9:05pm. All steaks were very thin and overcooked. Fried eggs all overcooked. Smothered chicken black on the bottom. Must say the only saving grace was our waitress Hannah R who tried her very best to keep chasing food and drinks and thanked us for our patience. She was rushed off her feet and I felt so bad for her as she was doing her very best to keep everyone as happy as she possibly could. Will never visit again.

Ellie, who was our server, was polite, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was nice, tasty and a good selection. Thank you very much.

Service was excellent very polite very professional no faults the place very clean tidy we definitely goin on regular basis

Visited here with friends for a Breakfast Meeting. Good selection of food and drinks, with vegetarian options available. Excellent value for money, and the staff were lovely and attentive. Nice location opposite Hagley Park. Glad we were able to visit here. Thank you to the team at Badgers Sett Beefeater.

Although the pub was very busy the staff were very attentive and looked after us very well. The meals were presented nicely and very well cooked. The meals all came together and Wendy our waitress was very professional and gave us the attention that we expect from a more expensive restaurant. The manger and the staff excelled today.

Came for an Easter Sunday lunch. Food was lovely and Wendy was very friendly and looked after us whilst we were here and nothing was too much trouble :)

After popping in for a quick drink we liked the look of the meals being served and decided to stay for lunch. We ate in the bar and we were very well looked after by Danni and Hayley. The welcome was warm and the food was really good. It had been a while since we last visited but we won't leave it so long for the next time.

Yet again we had a lovely meal and some great cocktails here. We always feel welcomed when we come here. The meals are always lovely (this time, which is very unusual my steak was a little under cooked, I let Josh know and, he agreed with me and promptly returned it. When it came back which wasn't long it was cooked perfectly and lovely and hot. The restaurant was very busy and they were short staffed. The service never suffered. Big shout out to Danni and Joshua who were welcoming friendly and efficient even under so much pressure. I have been to many other beefeaters and I have always been a little disappointed. I always return to the Badgers Sett

We last ate here about 10 years ago and had a good experience. Today's experience was just the opposite. The whole place is in need of a refurbishment as it's very dated and scruffy. The ladies' toilets were in a disgusting state. When our food arrived, we were astonished to see how tiny the portions were. On top of that, my smothered chicken was just awful. Overcooked, no taste at all, and the texture of rubber. No bacon and a very small scattering of cheese. I was offered another meal, but tbh I was really put off and didn't fancy anything else. I did eat it but it was very unpleasant. I wasn't charged for the meal, which was fair enough. The prices charged are definitely over the top for the quality and quantity of the food and service.

We arrived at it was busy we got seated a bit of wait as there was only 2 taking orders and you could see they was working trying to sort tables. We ordered food with Hayley who was amazing! We ordered drinks, starters and mains all together. The drinks came out and the starter not long after. The service was good and we will definitely go back. We had chicken wings starter and steaks for mains. We had deserts and used the 40% off.

Called on the off chance as we were hungry being out early , showed to our table right away and got our drinks quickly. Food was really good , well prepared and tasted lovely, our server Hailey was lovely and attentive .

Really lovely staff. I was well looked after by the lovely Bianca. I watched her very professionally tender to all of the guest needs and she paid particular attention to the young children making them feel safe and happy. Would highly recommend.

This is a lovely place where I can take my friend who has autism. The staff there are lovely to her. Louise today was extra nice to her and nothing was too much effort. Nice food too.

Excellent evening again at Badgersett. Went for my birthday and was treated to a special evening & amazing service from the whole team, especially our server Hayley. Food lovely, would highly recommend for any occasion.

Worst Sunday roast ever. I had altimate chicken was dry beef was raw and lamb was a slice of fat. It was slso cols Sunday roast,

Always a good choice with superb food. Staff always friendly but today lour waiter, Joshua, was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, problems rectified swiftly and professionally and he treated us as if we were important. Do not let him go!

2nd time being here, brilliant food, brilliant service too. Jane was exceptional and attentive, we left her a generous tip, wish more places had service like this, 5 stars from us.

Danni was great always had a smile on her face. The breakfast was hot and very good. The restaurant was very clean and very tidy

Visited for the first time in a while and it didn't disappoint. The food was excellent in both quality and value for money, we didn't wait long given how busy it was. Special shout out to Bianca who was looking after us, a member of the staff had called in sick and to say she and her colleague didn't stop is an understatement. She was attentive to everyone, took orders quickly and made recommendations and updates on food availability. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be making the Badgers Sett one of our regular go to places for special occasions.

This restaurant (with the ambiance of a works canteen) is desperately in need of refurbishment. Very cold with several customers sat in coats. The carpets were stained and ingrained with dirt. Worse than a back street ‘boozer’. Similarly, the chairs were stained and dirty. Gents...

Our host tonight was Jodie and I have to say she couldn’t not do enough for us. Even though it was a very busy night she was very attentive and made sure we were not wanting long for our food and drinks. We all enjoyed...

Food was decent . But over 2 hours to get simple starters, steak and chips and a kids meal does take the Mickey a bit. Our waitress was good. Possibly short staffing was the issue.

We stayed in the premier inn so had dinner and breakfast, very impressed with both. Lovely service, food was very nice, the steak was cooked beautifully. Cooked breakfast wasn't buffet style like others, no bananas but everything else was very nice. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely evening and food at The Badgers Sett. As a Beefeater restaurant, they know how to cook steak, and our sirloin and ribeye joints were cooked to perfection.

Called in as we were passing, lovely restaurant, very friendly and comfortable, Hayley our server was an absolute gem, helping us with our elderly friend,so patient. The food was outstanding, very nice, all in all a great visit.

The manager was rude when we arrived. She was also rude to other people. Food was terrible. I will definitely not be going back

Brandon is hands down one of the best waiters I’ve ever encountered! Very professional and very kind! I’d definitely recommend this beefeater to everyone purely because of this young gentleman

Last minute decision to go out for tea very busy but the service was excellent the food was served beautifully well done to the chefs cooking in this heat. All the staff were very pleasant. Will definitely be back.

Food lovely, staff superb. Decor a little tired in places. We had great service over two nights from Hannah & Bianca - Bianca was particularly brilliant with our children.

Food was poor the cob salad sauce was gritty and thin as water the surf and turf burger was that bad I didn't finish it rubber prawns dry crusty burger and the kids sausage and mash mash had dry lumps burnt sausages.

Always have a great time here at Badgers Sett with friends or family, staff are always welcoming and friendly nothing isn’t to hard to ask for. Great Food and Great Service

Arrived 30 minutes earlier than our booking to be greeted by a less than enthusiastic gentleman who showed us to our table . The place was empty bar one other couple who we were seated next to. I asked if we could be moved to...

Daughter birthday meal was lovely by the people on staff. I can’t remember the names but those on shift between 2:30 & 4pm were great. Lovely food, good banter & enjoyed by all - thank you - back soon

We all had the set menu which was great value for money and our exceptional server Ben made the whole experience worthwhile he was so attentive and informative while making the night very entertaining! The food was great would definitely return!!

Lovely Friday night dinner for the family. Our waitress Hannah was fabulous! Food was nice and a nice relaxed environment.

After reading some negative reviews about the food we were pleasantly surprised the food was very good the waiter that served us was very polite and professional we had a few drinks in the bar area after our food we had a lovely time
