Had breakfast at the Beech Arms this morning. Food was fine and service Ok. Not happy about the fact that it is advertised that you can use a blue light card, but there was not signal to get the code on the phone and was told that we couldn’t use the physical card. So why advertise to use it. Staff did not appear to see it as a problem

Carvery items, except for the meat are all pretty tasteless which was very dissapointing. Avoid ordering on the app/table as there's normally only 1 person serving at the till so doesn't have time to prepare the table service drinks or tickets. Used to enjoy coming here for a decent carvery but has gone dreadfully downhill unfortunately. What makes it worse is we have been on a Sunday and the service has been great, today's service and level of enthusiasm of staff that clearly don't want to be there has now put us off returning.

As a family we come here regularly This is because of the brilliant service and the food is always amazing and very yummy! We visited yesterday dated 4th of may 2025 we were seated straight away and staff members reg and Nathan couldn’t do enough for us,my father in law who isn’t well at the moment was checked on by them regularly. It’s always busy on a Sunday and looking around the staff in general are always a good team,these 2 staff members in particular were funny,attentive and gave us another brilliant meal out. Thank you and we will see you again soon

We had a great children's party here today, the server Michelle was so good, well planned and responsive and really made the children all feel so welcome despite some being a little shy. Colouring chefs hats on arrival, full making of their pizzas with their choice of toppings, Their homemade pizzas were brilliant, they loved the drinks and the ice creams as well and they had reserved a nice area with extra tables for the parents. They even left with a party bag from the venue - thanks to all onsite that made it such a special occasion. Very highly recommended, a true gem!

All the staff were very friendly and the food quality was well above what you'd expect from your standard pub food. I enjoyed a bacon and cheeseburger, my friend had the Buffalo Frank's burger to great delight. The drinks were the drinks, which made the food that ever so much better tasting. I like this pub. Good atmosphere and not that pub style dirty that makes everything overly sticky. Yay! Excellent parking as well!

Hadn’t been here for a while due to it being horrendous last time so decided to give it another try. Disgusting food, cold and been left there all day. I had a carvery and my partner had a burger and we both found the same white hairs in our food which must mean they’re all over the kitchen. 2 members of staff stood there and watched me try and lift a high chair and my son at the same time as my partner carried 3 drinks by himself. High chair was also filthy. Waited ages for someone to come and serve me at the carvery station, waiters walked past me and into the kitchen and didn’t think to mention that someone was waiting, in the end I went to the kitchen door to ask someone to come out. Awful service and awful food, don’t waste your money here. Anyone who says they’ve had a good experience here is lying, it’s been shocking for years.

Have been coming here for years, but unfortunately our visit on Sunday was probably the last. Food was mediocre, cheap and cheerful, you get what you pay for! However the whole place is in dire need of refurbishment, it is dated, shabby and filthy. I used the loo and there was what looked like poo smeared on the toilet roll dispenser. It's only attracting a certain clientele, who were loud and brash and uncouth. Probably won't be returning until it's had a renovation.

Came here 3 years ago, wasn’t massively impressed… Came here last night for fish and chips and it blew me away. The food is affordable and genuinely good. 2 courses for £11.99 each is a bargain and it was served quick by friendly staff. Don’t listen to the old negative reviews, it’s got much better.

I went to the beach arms last night for a birthday dinner. I was not impressed with the staff working there for starters he used a cloth on the floor then started wiping over tables with the same cloth. Waited for 40mins for my started and the burger was dripping with grease. Then had a member of staff hanging able to top of Us trying to make us do a review whilst we were still eating. I will never return to this establishment. I will be informing environmental health of stuff

Waited ages to be seated, then waited 40 minutes for starters after being told they were behind with orders. Starter was nice but for main s no real choice, either carvery, pizza or burger, we all opted for burgers, when it did come, the burgers were dripping in fat, greasy, and expected to see more on plate other than just chips to the side and I hate to say but better quality I ve seen in fast food restaurants. The desserts were OK, but I was shocked to see a young waiter take a customers plates away whilst still holding a surface spray bottle and cloth, had that been sprayed in customers face that would have been a disaster, and supposed to put that down in safe area before taking plates away. Was spraying areas all over place just feet from where we ate to which another colleague were apologising again for him. I used to work in restaurants and never seen it done like that so maybe experienced staff should give him a lesson in how to behave in the public area, only looked about 16. I came here as my last experience some years ago was a lovely one and I brought my family for a birthday treat to share this with me and neither them nor me were that impressed, to be honest I think it ll be a long time before we come back again, I just feel sad as it is a lovely looking pub/ restaurant it just needs more enthusiasm for the place by its staff members.

There is a reason you pay upfront here!! Brought grandchildren after school for dinner. Only ones in the restaurant. All carvery food was uncovered and dried up, roast potatoes must have been out ages ago and were tough, yorkshire puddings rock hard and inedible. Skin on the mash potato, thick skin on all 3 pots of gravy. No one at the carvery to carve had to call out then wait for them to finish their conversation! Food was luke warm at best if I hadn't already paid i would have walked out. Waitress stood at bar and watched me walk away from the bar with tray of 3 drinks, limping as I have a knee injury, no offer to help to bring drinks over. Later she asked how was our meals were to which I responded not great, luke warm birdering on cold. She advised she would pass the message on. A man came over and offered another dinner after we were half way through so I declined, offered me a dessert I said I would have dessert for the children to go with their ice creams. He sent 2 plates and one piece of cake for them to share!!!! For an 8 year old child to say nan this is really not good sort of says it all. Needless to say we will never go back. Appalling food quality and service - never mind one measly piecee of cake between 2 we should have been offered a refund at the very least. Don't waste your money here!

Had lunch with wife and two young kids. All had carvery and bottomless ice cream. Food was brilliant and service from the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Kids were also given colouring games to keep them entertained whilst food was going through. Additionally I have recently come out mid week with friends, and the value of the weekday 50% off deals is mind bogglingly cheap for what you get! I had a handmade honey pork pizza for £6!! Will definitely be returning with family again soon, and very happy to recommend the venue. Finally it's worth getting the Stonehouse app as it's pretty simple, allows bookings and table service, and you can get a hold of extra deals now and then that just make going a no brainer! Thanks again to the wonderful team at the Beach Arms! Martin

Wasn’t very impressed after driving over an hour to meet a friend that also drove an hour from hers as we picked this place. Pictures made it look lovely and food was amazing HOWEVER the outside was lovely, the inside is appalling - seriously needs some interior improvement, the seating was ripped/leather worn away random decoration and felt more of a weatherspoons than a nice place to eat and smelt rather funky too! We ordered our meals and the meat was awful as I had a pulled pork burger chips and halloumi fries- the burger was disgusting as the burgers tasted off, the pulled pork was odd and anaemic but the halloumi fries was burnt to hell. The garlic bread was burnt that you could use as a frisbee. When we mentioned our concerns the waitress said nothing. Whilst eating the whole place filled with smoke as something was seriously burning. Then to follow I paid £5.79 for a sticky toffee pudding that was actually a bloomin muffin with custard! Honestly people save your money and stomachs for a better place because I for one will never return!!

Its my opinion if your going to pay Christmas Dinner Prices, you want it to be all 3 courses you desire.

We had a party of 16 booked in for the Festive Lunch menu. The carvery meat was quite nice but the veg looked very sad, tasted bland and was pretty cold. A lot of our party had to wait almost an hour to be served, which wasn't great, but hardly surprising - we felt incredibly sorry for the solitary staff member waiting tables who was an absolute trooper! Georgia (or Georgie, can't remember - sorry!) was helpful, polite, and engaging at the bar, and the raffle for the homeless charity was an excellent idea too.

Booked a carvery lunch for a coach party of 44 retirement club members following the morning spent at The Bombay Saphire gin experiance. Did not know what to expect, however everything was well organised and the overall view was that the Beach Arms did a great job as many commented that it was the best carvery they had had in a long time. Meat was tender and veg was cooked well and not mushy or stewed. Desserts were well presented and tasty. Thank you Pauline and your team for making it happen.
