Very functional with panoramic room for breakfast or more

If you want to set yourself up for the day, pré-book breakfast. You are shown to your table and asked if you wanted tea or coffee - I asked for a double espresso which was no trouble or extra cost. I then had some berries and yogurt followed by a full English. You can keep going back for more and for a small extra fee, they do specials like scrambled eggs nd smoked salmon or pancakes,

Lovely service friendly food Lovely

Booked for new years eve 8pm, got a phone call the day before to say kitchen closes 9pm bar 10pm can you come earlier so changed to 7.30pm. When we arrived there was a notice on the door to say due to supply of food some things are off the menu, so why wasn't l told this when they phoned me. We looked at the menu quite a bit had been crossed off. We had starters of prawns and cheesy potatoe wedges. I had sirloin stake with chips cold peas and one burnt tomato nothing to replace the mushrooms, My husband had the mixed grill that wasn't very nice they forgot the chicken it come out on a separate plate and was very watery. We've been to this Beefeater several times and it's been fine. Won't bother going back after this experience.

Lovely environment, good service but food an absolute let down. Arrived at 4 as per booking and starters arrived within 5 minutes. My mozzarella arrive straight from the fridge and was very cold and wet with soggy tomato slices. The salmon main was not what I expected. Overcooked or left under heat lamps, certainly was not freshly cooked, and covered in a yellow looking sauce. The 3 brussel sprouts were lukewarm and undercooked , mash potatoes, exp3cted new potatoes, were green in colour and tasteless. My partners meal was exactly the same. Size of the deserts were very small compared to price paid. Christmas pudding 2x3 inches and half inch thick at best with a very small amount of what I think was custard and raspberry sauce?? Poured over it. Not what I was expecting for the price paid. I reiterate service and surroundings were good

For a Saturday night the rush to close the kitchen by 9pm really does not do this restaurant any favours. I felt like an inconvenience being there. Barked at to order in 15 minutes. Huffing and puffing because I had to look through for something that was actually on the menu, FIVE items unavailable from our tables first choices. I’d advise if the staff are so impatient about taking an order they let their customers know what is not available when they sit down, in the case of this restaurant, maybe a written list. Starters and mains all brought out at the same time because the kitchen had to shut by 9. Food poor for the price. Chips of all things over cooked Beefeater - need to sort yourselves out, or the management of this place. I would not go here by choice ever again. Recommend it is avoided. Problem is it is attached to a hotel we get sent to. Luckily breakfast is self service.

I placed an online order through there app at 19 41 at night after waiting an hour I decided to call them but it just kept cutting off I spent 45 minutes doing that just incase it was engaged so here I am at 21 44 no food they have took my money and I can't get ahold of anyone very disappointed and pretty peed off

Since they have made over this Macdonald's it has completely gone downhill. It's lost all it's customer service & service in general for customers eating in & driving through. It seems to just be catering for just eat & online orders. We waited for 45mins for quite a small order including milkshakes inside. We were number 75 & saw orders over 100 going out before ours. I witnessed 2 customer complaints & food sat on the side waiting to go out to drive through orders only for some of those orders when they eventually went out to come back in again. Then the milkshake machine ran out which I queried as I had ordered them on my order.... I did get my milkshakes but they had been sitting out for quite some time while we waited for our order...meaning they were basically cups of flavoured milk. Absolutely awful & we will not be visiting that branch again

Came for our work Christmas lunch. Our servers Mollie and Katie were very attentive, efficient and pleasant to talk to. Food was good and any issues were quickly solved. Meat served by Mitch was great. A very happy lunch trip

just eat app show me the driver is is at the restaurant but really he is at the door??? how come ?? food is all ready cold! unbelievable

I never Do reviews but this place is truly dreadful , attitude from Mr Tattoo’d pierced who should NEVER been in a public facing job , half a cup of piss week coffee , filthy tables, loud and dare I say expensive , surprising for Tesco £3.20 for a latte is a quid dearer than Costa ! They need to get some Eastern European’s in here , these English kids clearly dint like work and have no idea how to work in the service industry! Won’t be returning, I need to update this as I have just returned as it was done up WOW what a difference food much better had the chorizo TWO eggs sourdough rocket chorizo ( much better value but still not cheap ) so nice latte was excellent daughter had maple bacon waffle also good , service pretty good too MUCH IMPROVED well done H&H I’ll Improve the stars

Very unprofessional store, most of the times they send worng order & never accept. I ordered veg sub and they sent in non veg to me. Avoid this store & try other sub stores near by much more professional & friendly. We waited for order around 1 hr 30 mins and then got the wrong order. When I highlited this to store simple answer was we cannot do anything. In my last experience when I went into store for pickup, people were smoking inside store and store manager didn't even bothered to stop them. Very unprofessionally run store. Strongly siggest to avoid this
