   I stay at the Premier next door regularly for work. I always find the food excellent - apart from a poor meal on Father's Day but it was manic and we all have bad days. I had a fillet steak last night and it was absolutely amazing. It's one of the few places where a medium rare actually comes to you as a medium rare and the meat was sublime. Staff are always helpful and cheerful and it just has a nice, homely vibe. Highly recommended

   We are staying in the premier inn next door to this pub and I was getting a little hungry. Came here for something to eat and drink or two. Walking in the welcome was good, the member of staff was pleasant welcoming and attentive. We sat down and ordered a drink whilst we looked at the menu. Double Crunch Chicken sounded really nice so I thought I’d have this. Priced at £16.49. I also ordered a garlic bread to go with my main. My partner was not hungry and settled on an ice cream. When the food came within 10 minutes and I was very surprised to see what I had been given. The crispy bacon was not crispy at all. The ends of it burnt and the middle very much under done. The chicken felt very hard I did not even try it. The presentation was appalling literally a dollop of coleslaw, What looked like a handful of undercooked French fries just chucked on the plate with this chucking burger. No presentation what’s so ever. In fact this would be something I’d expect to be made at home and then I could do a far better job doing this at home. The garlic bread looked anemic and again just looked like it was chucked into a side plate. Now I know that Beefeater’s are not know for fantastic food but you do expect at least a level of quality. I was very disappointed as the menu did make this dish sound really good. Sadly tho this food looked like it had been made by a teenager making a snack. What annoyed the most is the £16.49 they thought was acceptable for this meal not to mention the additional cost of the garlic bread. I refused point blank to eat this meal and when I complained I was asked would I like another making. When I said as long as it’s not like that I was gobsmacked to hear the waiter say it will be. Needless to say that I will not be visiting here for my breakfast in the morning as a result of this meal. By far this is the worse presentation of a meal I’ve ever been expected to pay for. PLEASE LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE GOVIBG PAYING CUSTOMERS. This is a shame as the staff were lovely but the food and presentation was in my opinion a massive -10 stars.

   Not bad, the food could of been a bit better. The ribs aren't cooked with any sauce (although it says they are glazed) so they come out plain and they just don't taste of anything. My lasagne was lovely. The starters were average and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

   2 visits, food was ok on the first one, ribs the second night were completely forgettable, not well trimmed, sauce was half hearted, corn spears were tiny, chips and meat mid warm, guys, fries aren't hard to do to order. Server Emily the first night was on the ball and great, second evening I'm still waiting for them to check how it was. Food presentation left a lot to be desired both days.

   Surprisingly decent sandwich but the garlic bread starter was shocking in comparison. Food came very quick so debatable on freshness again can't complain on the price £10

   Shakira was very polite and pleasant, food turned up with ten minutes or ordering. Ordered the wedge salad and Haddock and chips, food was spot on. Glass of wine to finish. Would definitely recommend

   Not a fantastic experience sadly. We had to wait quite a while for our drinks order then even longer for our food. I told them I had an allergy to black pepper and the waitress said I don't think we use it . I had to ask her to go and double check which she did.. and they have black pepper in the sausages... Good job I asked to check as I had ordered the mixed grill. They kindly replaced my sausages with an extra chicken breast, however it was enemic and tastless :-( the other chicken on dishes looked lovely and grilled, I think mine had been poached in water. I was also expecting a huge dinner as I'd seen my partner order mixed grills before and they were massive but sadly the portions weren't what I expected especially for £16.99. I ate all of mine no problem. When the waitress asked if we wanted dessert menus I jumped at the chance as was still hungry. I almost wished I hadn't of bothered as for nearly £6 my dessert was a little ball of mousse covered in dark chocolate.... didn't come with any side options of ice cream etc. Very expensive for what you got. The service was ok. The toilets however... the dryer is practically over the sink and when you put the tap on not only does it splash everywhere but the dryer automatically starts. Definitely didn't think that one through. Would we go again... not sure.
