The Stanborough Beefeater

As (sadly) a Premier Inn veteran, the Stanborough, like the hotel next door, it's a noticeable cut above the usual quality of the chain. Breakfast was fresher and more wide-ranging than I'm used to - and server Diane was really friendly. Dinner was suitably tasty and prompt (despite the serving staff clearly being stretched on the night). Don't expect the Ivy or the Dorchester, but for the price it's great.

We are regular diners at our local Beefeater in south Wales and as we were staying at the Premier Inn we booked a table for dinner. Being very familiar with the summer menu we were shocked to see that on what I assume is the autumn menu all the starters that come with a sauce, only offer BBQ sauce - yuk, sweet sticky stuff. I fancied having 3 starters as a main but everything I wanted came with BBQ sauce. On the mains - bacon burger, with BBQ sauce, the chicken melt BBQ sauce. If this is the new Autumn menu, somebody really needs a bit more imagination. I finally opted for the beef and ale pie which was surprisingly good. Please can the people who devise the menu take a look at it in its entirety? It really has become very 'samey'

My partner and I love coming here for date nights. The food is absolutely phenomenal! We have never had a bad meal here, the food is always fresh, very hot, and the portion sizes are brilliant. The last two occasions we spent our nights here because of the vouchers they have on offer which are incredible value for money. Unfortunately, they were short staffed so we were told there would be a bit of a wait for food BUT this didn’t matter at all to us, as the staff come and have a chat, refill drinks and in all honesty, they never took that long to bring our food out anyway! There are two absolutely fantastic staff members there, one is John (I’m not very good with names!) and he is such a great character! The lady waitress, I cannot remember her name but she was so helpful when I started having hot flushes during my dinner 🙈 she kindly turned the air con on for me, brought me water and checked to make sure I was ok :) the only nit picky thing I found (and it’s just purely a bit pick as I can’t find a fault with the Stanborough!) is that the chairs in the bar area could do with recovering…the leather has worn and cracked and I found that bits of it were stuck to my legs when I stood up….but that is literally the only downside I have ever found. Please go and visit this lovely restaurant, you won’t be disappointed :) and get the churro sundae! Delicious!!

We love coming to Stanborough Beefeater!!! About once a month we have an evening meal in the restaurant. There are two people we want to acknowledge as caring and hardworking!!!!! John and Mel!!! We think they are terrific. No matter how busy they are the pair of them always have time for a friendly and warm greeting. My partner always has a steak and I usually have salmon. Hits the spot every time!!
