Very lovely staff very quick to resolve issues. Only warning i would put is that on neither the menu online or paper one says that the carvery’s are only available Wednesday and Sundays but other than that small issue lovely place brilliant customer service and a nice friendly face. Slow for food to come.

Decided on our 3rd night here at butlins to give this restaurant a go, menu seemed nice and prices weren't terrible. Husband had a steak and ale pie which he said was decent and my daughter had Sausages and veg which she said was also alright. Her meal was part of the kids package so got her a dessert as well. It took asking 3 waiter's for it to eventually arrive. I had a 10oz steak medium, my meal arrived well done so asked to have another, this was after waiting 40min for all our meals to arrive, it took another 15 or 20min for my new plate to arrive, this time the steak was medium but chewy as anything to the point I couldn't finish it plus I didn't get my tomato or onion rings. They decided to just load half of my plate with fries instead. At this point I couldn't be bothered complaining again. It looked like a few people were having problems that night, my husband asked for the manager, she decided to not visit us or check if everything was OK. All in all don't recommend, not worth the money. We shall try elsewhere tomorrow.

Came here in between shows. Food came within around 2 mins of ordering. Ordered two chicken burgers and onion ring sides. Chicken was steamed (as described by the manager) as they cannot grill it. Chips were cold as if been cooked hours ago. Onion rings were soggy. Left feeling hungry and disappointed that we wasted our money here. The orange juice was the only saving grace.

First night in Butlins and this was by far the worst meal we’ve eaten in god knows how long. I cannot believe the standards (or lack of) they are operating at. Medium cooked Steak & chips ordered - steak was so well done it was inedible and worse than tyre rubber. I’ve never known chips to be so vile. Tasted soggy and warmed up. Kids pasta was also vile, sticky and dry. Explained the issue with the steak and the staff offered a reheat?! Why would I want my now well done steak reheated even more? Was offered an exchange meal so asked for the ultimate Katsu curry, only the simple one came out. Tasted like a nuked microwave meal. Upset tummy followed after eating this. The whole meal cost £80 and I left hungry and now unwell. Absolutely shocking and such a shame to start our holiday on a sour note.

Just had the most shocking meal ever . Pulled beef chilli didn’t cover half the plate , stone cold and no sour cream. Chicken in burger uncooked and freezing cold, steak supposed to be well done but bloody. Fish so dark and tasteless . 6 meals cost £100 and not with half that. Advice is avoid the Beachcomber 0 out of 10

Went here as other restaurant on site closed . Waited forty minutes for food this was ok had been informed previous. Food arrived , mostly cold, the steak was inedible, pepper sauce cold as were the peas chips and tomatoe and mushroom , waitress came to check (very polite and apologetic) offered something else although as we were a party of seven and most of our food was cold , declined the offer of a different dish , asked for a refund , no chance beachcomber doesn’t do refunds , asked for manager who apparently was too busy to come over , totally unacceptable we left £££££s lighter and still hungry . Beachcomber sort your venue out , disgraceful .

Order #439 Decided to venture to The beachcomber Inn in between meal times due to their ‘kids eat for £1’ deal. Massively disappointed. The only reason the food was eaten is because it genuinely sickened me that for food priced so high, that it was of such a low quality. Hunters chicken had hardly any bbq sauce. Chips were cold. All the burgers (4 on this order 2x kids and 2x adult) had a strange chemical taste. Also FYI…these were big standard fairground grub burgers. Literal carpet burgers being sold here. Steer massively clear of this establishment..unless you like watery daiquiris and bizarre bargains.

Ordered food and cocktails, food came before the drinks. We enquired about the drinks and waited another 10 minutes for them. When they finally arrived, the lady didn’t say one word to us, not ‘a sorry for the wait’ or anything. We had nearly finished our food at this point. Prices don’t reflect the quality of the food unfortunately.

I have been to this one and the Bognor Butlins one, and this one is poor in comparison. It is pub grub, i was expecting cheap and cheerful not setting the bar high for a gourmet meal. However, this fell massively short in our expectations. Tables and menus sticky, tables seemed to be taking a long time to clear despite lots of staff looking very busy, that isn't sarcastic they really were busy but just not sure they have a handle on keeping on top of it all. The children's menu lists buttermilk chicken strips. These were nice enough but definitely more of a southern fried coating, which was then too spicy for my little ones. No allergen menu available to look at was told to find the QR code, which is fine for me as i am able, but someone not very tech savvy or without a smart phone is then stuck. BServe app didnt have any space to mark for allergies either and usually in other restaurants we are advised to order with a manager and one is sent over however no obvious manager was on shift and the app indicated we wouldnt have a problem with the items we chose. Prices are reasonable, especially in an on-site convenience restaurant. Family of 4 was about £50 including a drink each. Food itself: all our portions of chips were overcooked and not particularly fresh they had started to shrivel a bit, which seems to indicate re frying or being abandoned under heat lamps for a substantial amount of time. Our mains were both burgers, which were not very warm and had several items from it missing. This was rectified by bringing the missing items out, but even those fresh from the kitchen were nowhere near hot. Overall, it's not great, and we won't be returning.

Called in around 4pm. to check times and see if we needed to book. Met by a lovely gentleman who informed us that the venue closes at 8pm and no booking necessary as its first come first served. We went back at 7pm and were told to sit wherever ever we wanted. After reading the menu and looking forward to the Ultimate steak on the menu. We approached the , ar gave our table num, er and began to order to be told they are not serving anything off the main menu or deserts as they are closing at 8 and it's cavery only. As we were hungry we decided to have the carvery at £13.99, when we approached the counter one of the chefs came out and was very pleasant and made conversation I decided to have a bit of both meats (gammon & beef) I had a selection of what was fresh veg and gravy so took the meal back to my table with my friends as I began eating we realised every thing was freezing cold. When we complained, the member of staff at the bar told us there is a microwave at the rear of the restaurant we could use to warm it up. One friend went and warmed up his meal but didn't end up eating it. Not even an apology or offer of a refund. Disgusted, we ended up not eating and left the restaurant. And warned as many people walking in as would listen.

Poor experience at this place. Visited for the Mexican "buffet". Total choice of two mains with no vegetarian option (despite the menu stating there was). Nothing mentioned when paying so had to get a refund and choose something from the regular menu. Thr two options, on the alleged buffet, we're enchiladas and chilli/rice. Not exactly a buffet! The nachos were just cheap tortilla chips. Very poor effort and was the worst meal we had at the resort

We decided to eat here after hearing others on the resort recommend it for dinner as they also have a park outside for the children. We ordered our food at the bar which to be fair did arrive very quickly, around 15 minutes after ordering. I ordered a steak and asked for it to be cooked medium/well, but when I cut into it (with a normal knife as they had no steak knives) it was oozing blood. I asked if they could change this and the waitress took this and told me they would sort it, 10 minutes later it came out still the same just a litter bit warmer so I just left it and complained. My sister ordered lasagne and garlic bread which she said was cold and stodgy. Everybody else did enjoy their meals. The pie was excellent and the burgers were tasty. However, we waited 30 minutes for our desserts (ice cream for the children, who were getting agitated) and sticky toffee pudding. We asked the waiter twice when they were coming as we had been waiting half an hour, and he said he would check and ask the kitchen. How does it take 30 minutes to bring out some ice cream... The ice cream finally arrived and they had gotten it wrong as my child doesn't like chocolate ice cream. We complained again and asked the staff to leave it as he was getting bored of waiting and wanted to go and play. My sister's sticky toffee pudding was cold, again and my father's came with ice cream instead of custard. When we went to the till to complain, for the third time, there were several other families also complaining and asking for their money back as they also had to wait over 20-30 minutes for their food. I wouldn't mind but it wasn't overly busy as we went earlier to avoid this having two young children with us. The staff wasn't overly helpful nor apologetic. I wouldn't recommend this place, nor would I return if we were to ever go back to Butlins Minehead.

MINEHEAD Our last night we booked here as last year it wasn't an option for an evening meal and we were looking forward to it. Our booking was from 6.30. We arrived at 6.10. We ordered food at 6.49. The food we could not fault as was really nice when we got it. We had starters which arrived at a reasonable time. We were sat in a corner which seemed to be forgotten. No one came and collected our starter plates, we had to ask for our main meal - which if someone had collected our plates we wouldn't have had to do. We then had to ask twice for our dessert - other tables received there's before us even though we ordered. The service here has really let our stay down especially being our final night. Every other place we have been food has been brought out at a reasonable time and we were asked if everything was OK and if we were ready for the next course. Here nothing. Not somewhere I would want to return to in a hurry. Next visit we would probably visit here first just to get the disappointment out of.the way.

We arrived at the venue at 6pm and were told that there was a 45 minute wait for food. Never been that quick here so acceptable. Ordered drinks which were brought to the table really quickly. Looked through the menu and added the choices to the app and paid at 6.18pm. One hour later we asked where our food was and the man said it will be with you when ready. Just before an hour and a half passed I went to the bar and a young lady chased to see where the food was. She came back and said that they were just waiting on the Burger. I had seen people on other tables coming in getting served and having their meals before us and quite a few were food like ours. 5 minutes later the food came out and looked rushed and incomplete. I sent it back and asked for the manager who could only say sorry. I would not recommend this venue and if it was a business run anywhere else it would have gone out of business. In my opinion they forgot about our food and our table, there was no reason at all for others to have come in after us, ordered and eaten their food whilst we sat there. I will never use this venue again. If I could give no stars I would as it completely ruined the end of the day.

We arrived as a party of 2 adults and 2 preschoolers (during the toddler week at Butlins) at around 5.15pm and were told there would be a 45 minute wait for food unless we ordered the curry buffet which we could eat immediately. Staff then insisted on charging our 1 year old for the curry buffet despite their own advert stating charging started at age 2 and the rather obvious fact that a baby is hardly going to eat much. On rechecking the advert and showing the staff the advert, the manager said we could either have a full refund (and eat elsewhere) or pay for the baby to eat the buffet too at the 2+ child rate! We pointed out the advert was false advertising and took our business elsewhere...their rationale...' The advert says that as it is assumed children under 2 don't eat curry'. Some unconscious bias training and training on false advertising definitely required here! Watch out for overcharging.

We ordered fairly soon after arriving, my step daughters meal came and had to go back as we had requested no dressing and it came with. Fair play they replaced it but it was supposedly char grilled and it looked like a cooked breast that had been slapped on the grill long enough to mark it. Meanwhile everyone else has almost finished their meals and mine hasn’t even arrived. Apparently this was because they were so busy even though the place was no more than half full and was even quieter when we ordered. When it eventually arrived the server was rude (this was not unusual at Butlins) and practically threw it in front of me. Although all the meals were fairly nice we all felt the portions were small. Won’t ever eat here again if we come back to Butlins.

Stayed on the butlins site for the first with my 3 year old son and was happy to find a pub with child play area at first impressions looked good price was ok for a pint etc but the main reason for 2 stars is that I was not allowed to order food for outside so my son could play and come and eat when he wanted so we had to venture out of the resort to find a place that could accommodate that every day might seem petty but trying to keep a 3 year old at the table to eat when there is a massive park outside yea ain’t happening

After 30 mins my sons chicken burger and my vegan burger hadn't arrived.I asked a waitress if there was a delay on the food, she said no and checked with the kitchen.She returned and said it was on the way.When it eventually turned up my parents had already finished their meal, and my burger was stone cold which I returned.I got a refund at the till for my meal as we just didn't have time to wait and everyone else had finished eating.

Terrible food. Ordered a chicken burger, waited an hour for it. Bun was so stale couldn’t even swallow it. Also was supposed be served with salad and homemade coleslaw - had neither. Sent it back to the kitchen. By the time they sent it back out it had been 1hour 20 mins since we ordered (only one adult and one junior meal!) I literally couldn’t eat it, chicken was sloppy, bacon undercooked and bun equally stale as the first one, no salad or coleslaw again as they didn’t have any (but an hour and 20 mins after I ordered to tell me) They did refund the cost of that meal, which was the least they can do given I didn’t eat any of it, but given that they’d wasted most of my evening, I would have expected one of the drinks to be knocked off too.

Friendly staff with a a decent selection of meals available. Children’s play area outside with many benches and a photo opportunity with a large deck chair. Food was great and served quickly but our plates weren’t taken until our desert came out. Overall a good experience and would come back again.

Staff member on the door was rude. Stated we only wanted a drink and didn’t intend on having any food. Was told they were too busy serving those who actually wanted food. If we could find someone wanting to serve us we could stay, but we were better off going elsewhere

Only positive I can give for this place is the staff were super friendly and the drinks were good. We had a pretty bad experience regarding the food side of things. Steak was cold and tough, half the mixed grill was missing and my boys always polishes off a lasagne and they didn't even finish theres. Hopefully it gets better as it is a very nice inside but it's a NO and Avoid from me.

Had lunch here as a day visitor. We had to wait ages to order, waited an hour for our food, and then my sisters sandwich was stale, and my chips were so stale they must have been reheated. It was the only part of our Butlins visit we didn't enjoy.

Pleasant enough internally & booths are a bonus for sure. However, the food was distinctly average, waited an hour and a half for one meal & the queuing system was pretty poor, often leading to exacerbated waiting times. That being said, it was a very good stay in Butlins overall.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! There were so many things wrong with our food order. For 2 tables of 6 (everyone was ordering seperately at the bar due to their app being down), they forgot to bring out 3 of the meals, and we had to return one of the lasagna's because it looked horrendous, as if it had been in the microwave for 10 minutes. The people who ordered burgers got theirs burnt to a crispy (how do you cook a burger wrong???). They also forgot to bring out a few of the side orders of chips. When I had to go up to the manager to say that something else was wrong with our order he replied with 'I'm busy, go and sit down.' We ordered 2 lots of dessert for the children's menu and they brought over 4 insisting that the extra 2 portions must be ours as they were paid for by us, but no one has ordered them and instead a different table had. All in all, long wait for food, wrong orders sent out, avoid the lasagna what ever you do (I wouldn't feed it to the dog), and the customer service is awful. Go eat somewhere else and actually enjoy your meal

Had a wonderful meal, gammon steak. Tasted amazing. However the next day, I had sausage & chips (replaced instead of mash - dairy intolerant). The chips were incredibly oily, sausages were even oily! Gravy was so thin. Lovely peas though..
