Stag And Rainbow Beefeater

The two of us had booked here for the Friday late afternoon that we were booking into the Premier Inn next door. We weren't made aware of an offer for patrons of the hotel but this wasn't a fault of the restaurant. Luckily we arrived whilst the daytime menu was still open. Staff member greeted us at the door and we were promptly seated, informed about the different menus, asked for allergies and if we would like to order drinks whilst we viewed the menu. Tables and cutlery were clean. Drinks arrived within 5 minutes and we were given as much time as we needed to make our decisions. Food ordered and any changes noted with a smile. Restaurant and bar area started filling up quite fast after 5pm but this didn't delay Food. We received what we ordered and everything seemed fresh, hot and delicious. Staff checked that everything was OK with meals and asked if we would like more drinks etc. When we had finished up we were brought the bill and paid up. We booked two mornings of breakfasts through the hotel and attended each morning at 7am. Doors were open at 7am on the dot, greeted again by staff member who confirmed our room for payment and asked if we had any allergies or if we had been for breakfast. We're were shown the coffee station, continental breakfast buffet and where hot food is served. Previously I have been to another beefeater for breakfast where you had to order and breakfast was made fresh. We actually preferred serving ourselves as we were tight on time in our schedule so we weren't sat around waiting for our food to be ready. Very friendly chef that said hello and greeted us with a smile each morning. Nice thick bacon, tasty sausages, two styles of egg, beans, mushrooms and hash browns meant there was plenty of hot options to choose from. Fresh bread out every day and a perfectly set toasting machine. Nice range of yoghurts, pastries, fruit and cereals available. Huge bonus for me was having decanted with big ice packs in for the water and juices which made drinks nice and cold. Cant comment on hot drinks as we don't drink them. Validate your reg to qualify for free parking at the venue. All in all, we were super impressed with this branch of beefeater considering some of the others are a bit hit and miss, the Stag and Rainbow were consistent in their good service all weekend. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area.

I took my son for a meal. It was weekday and late afternoon so it was not very busy. The weekday daytime offer is good value. My son had steak and dessert and I had open chicken and bacon sandwich. I have to say that the service was really great and staff was very nice and attentive. The food was served quick and it was lovely. It wasn't our first visit and every time we return, we are happy and have a nice time.

Stayed at the hotel nextdoor for a week and had a meal deal, was able to book a table each day. Staff are friendly and attentive. Breakfast buffet is easy to get started for the day, fully stocked and has a large variety. Food was warm and served quick after ordering, sometimes difficult to get the bill but understandable during busy times. Has a choice of different options if you're not big on chips, and the menu had a lot to choose from. Calamari was oily/stodgy but everything else I had was well cooked and enjoyable.
