Travellers Rest Beefeater

Lovely restaurant, service was a little slow, had to wait a while for drinks to arrive before someone came over and said was a queue, that why only gave a 3 star. food was out of this world. We was not rushed. We will try and come back again sometime in the future.

Very poor. Took 40 mins for the waiter / waitress to take our order despite only a couple of tables being occupied. Food took even longer to come and some of it was still cold and some was missing. Even the salad had dressing at the bottom and none on top. Went to Beefeater 20 years ago, will be another 20 years if at all! Shame.

We booked with a party of 14 and we had to wait to be seated but it didn't take long. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was nice and clean. We all ordered food but the food did take a long time too come out and they did mess our order up a few times but they did correct it fairly quickly the food was nice but my dish seemed to have small amounts of veg but we did get extra potatoes and yorkshire puds which did help otherwise I would have still been hungry. We did order desserts which the order was wrong but apparently the system was down so that did complicate things. I ordered waffle and ice cream and was a little disappointed because my waffle wasn't very warm I didn't have the time to send it back so I did eat it was overall an OK experience but wasn't great.

We had a lunch for 3 people and had ordered roast beef and steak. Steak had no rockets as it stated on the menu. Roast beef no cabbage, parsnips or red wine sauce but a thin almost like water gravy. Staff did not even ask if we are okay and if everything is fine. My partner had to go and ask gravy twice as you can’t hardly see and taste the gravy. Then when it came as if we are begging for it as it is in a gravy pot but only quarter filled and as thin as water like the juice of the beef and not even a color of gravy as it is tasteless too like the fat from roasted beef. Nearly choking with our food as it is dry and not a proper gravy. Not impress at all.

Service here was on the slow side, which was strange because it didn't seem busy. We waited 30 minutes for our drinks and food order to be taken. On a positive note the food was really good. My mixed grill was cooked to perfection. Not the best overall beefeater experience.
