The Marsh Mills Beefeater

It was very busy in the main summer holiday period. the staff were very helpful. food quality varied. it was rather noisy because naturally a lot of young families eating there.

Pretty standard for a beefeater the bar staff are very friendly and it's nice to see a business employing staff with disabilities. the only issue was having the door open to the kitchen and seeing the restaurants, sales targets and kpis is abit off putting.

It was my first visit to beefeater in plymouth and i was quite impressed with the food. all of us ordered from the three course menu and the food was absolutely delicious. portion sizes are huge, so we were naturally so stuffed. desserts were amazing - the sticky toffee pudding and the brownie was mouthwatering. although i would advise not to buy any cocktails from here. we ordered a long island iced tea and a negroni and they tasted absolutely disgusting 🤮 staff were okay, but not very friendly. it wasn’t a bad experience although i would recommend not getting any cocktails to avoid any disappointment.

We stopped here for lunch while visiting plymouth on business. the restaurant is quite easy to find, head down plymouth road towards the devon expressway interchange and turn off right at crabtree close before you get to the interchange. the car park was quite empty when we got there, and there was plenty of disabled parking. the entrance gave the appearance that the restaurant was closed, it was quite dark and the doors were closed, but yay they were open. we were shown to our table and the waitress remarked that she would be back shortly to take our order as they were busy getting ready for lunch, having just changed over from breakfast. this was quite evident as there was a large gathering of breakfast debris on the floor, and a tin of lip balm!! our order was taken and within 20 minutes of sitting down we were tucking in, although i have to say at £13 i did not feel it was value for money for my "smothered chicken" which wasn't as smothered as it could have been and looked a little lonely on the plate. after we had finished the waitress asked if we would like some more fries as they were refilled for free - i wish this had been stated earlier, perhaps before we ordered. i would like to add that the disabled toilets were lovely and clean. all things considered, i would return for another family meal and as many fries as i can cram into my stomach as is physically possible.
