"I took my daughter to the birthday and her 3 children my wife. the greeting was good and the order was taken very quickly. the rest of the party had decent meal times, but both of mine were terrible. I never have to return two meal times in succession to any restaurant! my ribs looked like they were brown, the BBQ sauce was all dried up and this was also noticeable by the rest of the party. I started eating them and soon discovered that the meat was completely dry. Some ripening that I have ever had somewhere else, fall off the bone, as they should be, but even resist being separated from the bone with a steak knife. the waiter agreed easily to take them back, I even showed them to the floor manager when I thought they would have to see how unacceptable they were. when he was hired I ordered a filet steak, which lasted 5 minutes longer than the promised 10, so all the others were finished by then! when cutting through the steak it looked good pink in the middle for a medium rare. that was the best, although the outer layer was hard and so very unusual for a filet had some gristle. I could eat a third, but it was so cheesy that I gave up and rejected. So, all that I enjoyed most were the sweet potato friries that were the majority of my Sunday evening meal. I have eaten in Great Britain and in that did the whole world filet steak, and I have never returned one before that was the worst I have ever been served. I told the staff that I had cooked better fillet steaks from aldi to home! it is fair to say that the waiter was enormously apologetic, in which he was quite embarrassing! there is no possibility that I will return to any beefeater in the near future, but certainly not this, my next one, at which I have eaten several times before. my wife asked me to add that her sunday roast was sufficient, but after 18 o'clock it was obvious that many of the nice lay around for some time, especially the cauliflower that was dried up and, as with some other veggies tired looking and only lukewarm."

"Having supported this local take away /small business to for over 20 years, I was extremely disappointed to tonight experience terrible service. Having ordered via walk in, I collected my order 10/15 minutes later (timely as always). Only to get home and find that the chicken fried rice I ordered was only a friend rice. I have for 20 years, always ordered the same dishes due to how picky and specific I am due to my adhd/autism. Upon calling and advising of the mistake, the normally pleasant woman on the front told me I had not ordered the dish I always ordered. I explained that I 'm very sorry, but I have the same order every time for 20 years, you know this as you have laughed about it with me when I 've joked about one day I 'll try something new, I 'm afraid you wrote it down wrong . The lady argued with me and told me quite aggressivly your mistake, you come now I chnge but you must pay again! '. I stayed polite and said that it 's not my error, and now you want me to come back, allow food to go cold, and pay for it full price again. That 's terrible customer service . I was then told you no order chicken fried rice, you lie! . At which point I said that 's fine, I 'm very disappointed after being a loyal customer for so long. I 'll not be returning if that is how little you care about your customers . The response that fine you go away . Utterly disgusting service. I 'll not slate the food, the rest that was correct was lovely. Just a shame that stubbornness, pride, and being unwilling to admit getting something wrong came before loyalty to a customer."

"I'd have to say to avoid this place at all costs. This was a business meal after a long day. They had written the wrong time down for our reservation but were sat down anyway. Not a great start. Drinks for came out a time and then odd and this drinks service was maintained throughout the night. Our bread and olives were bought out one portion at a time (the second just before the starters when we ordered of each. The wine glasses for the non wine drinkers were not cleared, a bit odd. They just cluttered the table as did old dishes until passed to staff. Starters took their time and were average. Nothing really special and I've eaten in dozens of pubs which offer better. A lesser point is the balsamic vinegar I took with my bread was one of the worst I have ever tasted in my life. Then a long delay for our mains. I mean long. Coupled with the fact they kept giving single shots when clearly being asked for doubles (we had to check the bill) plus more delays in receiving drinks. We literally thought about leaving at this point...mostly in jest but I was hangry even before we started. I would have left! The poor waiting staff couldn't keep up. I don't think it was their fault. the kitchen's and bar's fault. The mains, particularly the steaks, couldn't be recognised as they had all been covered in a brown sauce so looked all the same cut. were supposed to be plain and I have no idea why this sauce is put on the steak, probably to mask a poor cut as I scraped it off and tried to enjoy an extremely average piece of meat. We received a dish we didn't order, we again...had to check our bill to ensure we were not charged for it. We reckon we received someone elses. It wasn't even good! The overall meal took so long and hours!! we skipped desserts altogether as we just wanted to get to our respective beds. The bill was sizeable, but accurate at least. I was just so relieved I wasn't paying as I would have really kicked off and complained. I heard more complaints at the front desk about the hotel. I think the whole establishment needs a sorting out. quite frankly. I can't offer a redeeming feature about the meal. Everything was messed up. Oh, by the way, the place wasn't full either so they couldn't say they were overrun. I would have perferred a pizza express, or zizzis or a miller and carters or a nandos! You get my point."
