Oast and Squire, Beefeater Reviews

Very disappointing. The food quality is no where near as good as it used to be. Wilted lettuce and triple cooked chips that aren't. Prawn salad that looked as though they were raw. We used to have great meals there, alas, no more!
Having said that the quality of service, as usual, was excellent.

Friendly and welcoming staff.
Excellent service and food is delicious.

Good food for a good price friendly service will be back thanks

Went in for a meal with my other half and his boy, ordered steak and salad and 2 double burgers, my salad came in a tiny side dish that was next to nothing especially for the price we paid, the chips were over cooked and had to wait 45minutes. Disappointed

GOOD FOOD .GOOD SERVICE. GOOD COMPANY. MANY THANKS LIZZIE.

Good food. Reasonable price. We got lucky as great waitress.

Amazing meal for valentine's dinner amazing service love it here thank you

I have been using this place for years and the quality of food and the professionalism of staff has not faltered. It's still a great experience and makes for an enjoyable evening out

Your burgers were amazing, the kids loved there kid burgers and Imine was good too. An enjoyable experience for us all. Recommended to people trying to look for a nice place to eat.

Great place, clean and easy parking. Staff are welcoming, helpful and friendly.

The food and service were excellent I would recommend it to anyone

I had the mixed grill with the 8oz steak supplement. The food itself was teally nicely prepared but it didn't come out hot enough. Also the salad was a bit of a small portion.
I think I would go back but would want it to be hot.

Just had a family meal here and was very disappointed. The food was good however there was plastic packaging of some kind in my mixed grill. We asked for no whipped cream in the desert and the (miserable) waitress confirms our order but we got it anyway, when we reminded the unhappy waitress (corrine) she tells us she didnt hear us say it even though she repeated the order back to us. overall good food (minus the inedible extras). Poor service from waitrass it doesnt cost to smile and look like you give a damn.

Well laid out for Covid, fabooloos service, food served quickly, excellent all round experience.

The music far too loud. Food good but spoilt by having to ask for the music to be turned down several times. At least in the end they turned it off they we could hear ourselves speak. We were the only ones in that section. Rather odd?

Good food and good service. Definitely be going back.

The service was excellent, the food was lovely but could have been a little warmer

good atmosphere brilliant and helpful staff and overall nice place

I go here quite a lot and have never had a bad meal, the staff are always really friendly as well!

Food was poor and the steak they have changed to thin stuff is worse than poor for a mixed grill

Excellent Meal , Service very vey good , Social Distancing layout excellent.

A lovely meal, my only criticism would be we ordered from the festive menu for Christmas meal the table could of been decorated and Christmas crackers would of been nice to c on the table as well , we did hv some but not enough for our table apart from that the meal was really lovely thank you xx merry Christmas x

Very enjoyable meal, good choice, very well presented

Burger with Lobster, and Ribs, Steak and Prawns. Delicious! I don't mind waiting for good food, but the attending staff at the table were few and far between.

They fitted our large group in at very shot notice. We were checked on but not pestered. The food was great and the portions generous without being too much. Will be going back.

Great food, lovely staff, good prices, quick service. Clean and tidy, I really like this place

Very very disappointed kept waiting for our meal along time drinks order wrong asked for top up which never came food cold and not up to stranded warm chocolate brownie so cold the ice cream didn't melt on it.
The restaurant was not busy.
Will not be going again

Nice place, nice food and nice staff.. thanks will be returning.

My husband and I have been regulars at the Oast and Squire for many years and the meals have never disappointed us.

We have been back twice recently since relaxation of the Covid lockdown rules and have been very disappointed with the quality of the steak. On both occasions the steak, rump and sirloin, have been really chewy and gristly and impossible to cut. The lamb chops served on my husband's mixed grill this evening were extremely fatty and inedible.

Overall it feels like the standards are dropping although the prices have increased and the menu selection has been radically reduced.

By the way, this is no reflection on the waiting staff who do a really good job.

Average, dated, brought wrong order although food was nice. Above average price.

The staff were very helpful, but the gluten free menu was difficult to understand, due to there being too many different allergy alternatives being offered.

Had a lovely meal. Also staff were very helpful and full of smiles. A lovely experience.

Always so good here. The team always accommodate anything and go above and beyond. Food is also decent and waiters and waitresses are knowledgeable about the food and recommend dishes with honesty.

We arrived 1pm and ordered. By 1.45 there was no sign of our food. My daughters food was then brought out. The peas were dried up, the cod bites had the tiniest amount of cod in them. My husbands steak was well done when he asked for More

good food but expensive. if you live local they do deliver 40% off vouchers quite regularly which makes it much more value for money

Friendly wait staff, no wait to be seated, food came at a suitable speed, food was amazing :)

Great food and great service by our waitress, Kayleigh.

Beefeater prices are so expensive, unless we have a voucher we do not go.

Good staff - disappointing food dictated by head office who need a wake up call to the competition out there... shame

Good basic eating place. Very accommodating with our disabled daughter nice place to eat. Summer menu lovely.

Great food and friendly staff but service can take a little while and I d recommend making a reservation before you go! Lots of parking.

Good varied menu. Something for everyone. Friendly staff. Can get busy. Best to book at popular times.

The food was lovely and the hospitality from the bar staff was outstanding.

Not sure this is great value poor presentation food just ok ...give it a try at least once but think there is better in the area..

This is a very good Beefeater which has been performing well since reopening. Lovely staff. Noticeably quieter since EOTHO finished but they are passing on the VAT reduction.

Quick, clean and efficient, with a vast and varied choice of menu. Mirrors all other Beefeater outlets. However it's the staff who make the difference, hence 5 stars.

Very busy, but managed to squeeze us in on fathers day. Very good service, and food better than I expected.
Would recommend.

OK experience.. Considering the state of things atm. Although the service seemed a little uncoordinated

Place was great but the food was not up to the usual beefeater standard. Both steaks were grissley and tough and the potato and veg with my salmon was hard and cold. Good job we had 40% off as might have complained. Good meeting place and staff were great.

Refurb has made a huge difference! Food was good but it did feel like it took a while to come and staff were friendly. Great place for a cheap bite to eat.

If you want a low cost meal go there particularly if you have vouchers.

The food here was good and even though it was busy our waitress Poppy couldn't do enough to help us and served us with smiles and joy

Food took over an hour and a half to come out and when it did it was rubbish a shame as i have been there before and it was nice staff where nice enough the food just wasnt wont be going back

Sunday Roast was a joke , half roast chicken came out as grilled chicken breast and we wasn't told. Changed it to lamb and they brought a small bit of lamb on a small plate.
Beef tiny portion. I left a tip as I think it's the chef that probably needs shooting.
Next time it's off down the Toby for a better Sunday roast.

Amazing great staff, service and food amazing. So friendly and welcoming and helpful.

Good night out,food was good,service a little slow but they were full

I enjoyed the times I have been here. I have now both been in the drinks bar and the dining areas. The food quality is good and service time is fair. Prices are about what you would expect for a pub with catering. And overall staff are friendly and accomodating

Good food, service was a little slow for a weekday lunchtime.

We booked their Christmas night out for 8 in October. Arrived on the night to confused staff who couldn't find the booking, unset table with the crackers thrown in the middle . We did a fantastic waitress and the food was bbc lovely. They tried to charge extra for a dish when there was no indication of this on their booking form, this was removed when we pointed this out. A little disorganised but very friendly

What a lovely mean. A polite greeting, very accommodating on seating. Food hot and fresh, portion sizes were average. My only criticism is too much crumble in the toffee Apple crumble...

Awful...makes the harvester look like a Michelin starred restaurant. Food dismal. Service terrible because the poor staff are over worked.

Food was good, book first though coz we had to wait an hour for a table

Good food, excellent service with a smile which makes a pleasant change. The prices are very good value for money. Would reccomend booking a table if you are going on a Friday or Saturday evening.
