Absolute Massive thank you to all the staff on Saturday 26th August. I arrived at 12 to set up for a family gathering for my father's birthday and straight away Adam and the other early staff were straight on hand to help me put together the tables and decorations how I had planned it and were on hand the entire time to help me and my family make sure my dad had the best possible time. The food was unbelievably nice. Many of us had steak and I complimented the kitchen staff on the way out as the steak was such good quality, very well cooked and was delicious. Literally the nicest I'd ever had. It was my first time here and my experience was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much to you all for making my dad's days go so well

Lovely warm and welcoming place.We all enjoyed our meals and drinks,especially as all the food came as ordered.The Staff were all very freindly and efficient.Highly recommend.We would also say the overall pricing is very reasonable given the quality provided.There is quite an extensive choice of side dishes to choose from as main meal accompaniments.The Guiness and Wine were a pleasant accompaniment to our meals and were well served.

Brilliant Sunday lunch. Had the Large, lunch, half a chicken, chunk of lamb and slices of beef. Well filling, the roast potatoes were superb,the meats moist and tender. Must go again, hopefully the service is a little quicker next time.

Staying at the @premierinn I couldn't not utilise the convenience of the beefeater next door. We had dinner and breakfast. Interior⭐️⭐️⭐️ The interior is after all mass reproduced and you can tell that it has been finessed by multiple applications. Nevertheless its tasteful, appropriate and inviting. Service ⭐️⭐️ Overall the service wasn't horrific but there are a few points which didn't quite work for me. The evening service was fine but breakfast had a few issues The cooker food is cooked to order however they reduced the number of each element I asked for, although I am happy to order a bit at a time, the fact they did this without saying anything about limits made me feel very judged by the amount I was eating. There was no water on the self service area so after asking 3 times and being promised water, the fact they placed a jug out in the service area without even informing me was a bit strange. Then the empty plates, I did in fairness build up a bit of a pile but the fact no effort was made to clear empty plates meant that the table started to fill up, should I have kept using the same plate and topping up? Food/drink⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sticking to the evening service Starter - Chicken goujons - very very hot, the batter was a bit too dark for me, fryer potentially needed an oil change. Mains - Mixed grill - all the meats were cooked well but the lump on rump was a touch overdone to my taste of medium rare but nothing major. A massive and satisfying eat. One build would be that a yolk should be runny. The rock hard egg was a bit disappointing Smothered chicken - another solid eat, some tangy BBQ flavour and the coleslaw was tasty, even if the presentation was a bit messy. Dessert - Sticky toffee pudding - this was nothing special, it was very much school dinner quality but, to be honest, I bloody loved it!! Take it for what it is and enjoy the old school feels Overall⭐️⭐️⭐️ There was some issues and I think I would question whether this is somewhere I would reccomend for a special occasion but as a quick, cheap and cheerful eat. I would say this is perfect, does what it needs to and I cannot fault the value on offer
