Reviews of Black Bear Beefeater

c. p.

Really wanted it to be better than it was, as was out for a birthday celebration. Nice server but service painfully slow, made worse by a number of items not available on the menu such as fish & chips and sticky toffee pudding to name a few. Food was well received by the majority. Avoid the nachos as not worth the money, came with BBQ sauce, not salsa? Strange. Plus points no rush, ample space, child friendly and plenty of parking.

R. C.

Had an excellent fillet steak. Service was good, girl serving couldn't have been nicer. I was really surprised how much I liked it here for a big chain type of place!

B. H.

Absolutely wonderful service very kind and happy staff and very efficient

M. H.

It's a Beefeater. With the 40% off vouchers/ £5 weekday lunch meals, it's quite good value. But at full price, there is better fayre elsewhere for that money. Drinks are no bargain either.

M. C.

Fast friendly service, great food

J. G.

Then staff were lovely and catered to my vegan food requirements with enthusiasm. I was happy to settle for crisps but the lovely lady insisted on having something made for me. 😊

S. D.

They have nice friendly staff and their food was great, they make a fab soya burger and their kids penne pasta with tomatoes was amazing said my daughter who is 6 and a very lucky eater X welldone guys keep it up X X X

F. D.

New menu since i was last here. Food very good from bar service. Reasonably priced too. Definately worth another visit .

A. P.

Top class

R. B.

Well organised with one way system, screens between tables, disposable menus, staff all wearing masks. All of that plus good food and some great offers.

D. M.

Food was amazing was in last week with hubby and kids , plenty choice on menu and when food arrived was hot and cooked perfectly , all made even better by the table service we received from waitress (think her name was rachel) she is an asset to the company , nothing was too Much hassle, very well mannered and so polite, our child has autism and sometime can have abit meltdowns, nothing was to much hassle for rachel, lovely girl, will be coming back again

M. G.

Held funeral meal here and the staff, service and meal were great. Thankyou

G. W.

What wonderful staff, a credit to the management. Food was well presented and tasted just as good. Well worth a visit 😃

M. K.

Great food, and despite the expense, was well worth it as far as taste is concerned! Best bit of meat I've had in a long time

M. M.

Great experience staff really professional and helpful. Food good value

J. A.

Popped in for a quick lunch and settled on the £5 special lunch. Gammon, egg & chips - delicious. Nice place with easy parking.

G. M.

As a pub... Black Bear only have terrestrial TV, my suspicion was peaked when I walked in to watch chpions leage and it was easties with subtitles on. The place could do so much better if it sorted itself out. It needs... Proper sport on TV Craft beer (they only have commodity stuff like tennents and Stella) Allow dogs and promote things for kids to do Clean up their grounds, there's litter EVERYWHERE! Install a wee play area Etc etc Could be a right good wee community hub, but it's just a bit tired and sad. Food in the restaurant is pretty good tho.

J. c.

Sunday roast was terrible Thick chunks of tough almost inedible meat,1beef medium,1 well done and 1 lamb.Couldnt tell the difference between the beef and the lamb! Vegetables were undercooked. Used to be hand carved joints,I suspect this is a cost cutting exercise and cheao meat.Service was slow but staff friendly and polite.Dessert was good, buy the quality of the main course means I wouldnt go back.

J. M.

Good food great service friendly staff and really clean

A. E.

Typical Beefeater fare, staff were friendly and food was prepared well. Was stopping in Premier Inn attached. All in all pretty good.

G. D. O.

Love it, food good, staff brilliant and kids had a great time making themselves a pancakes sandwich with chocolate spread!! ;'-)

L. S.

Went for a breakfast and it was lovely. They had no bacon available but it was still a great breakfast, great continental options too

l. v.

Had a lovely meal in for my daughters 18th staff are the nicest staff you could get smother chicken melt superb

G. N.

Menu was limited and as a result was a bit meh.

m. o.

Food always great. staff very friendly and efficient.

S. J.

Nice staff, food wasn't as good as expected but good menu

P. D.

2nd time here great food great service only getting 4 stars as was left standing at till after recieved bill and left tip but no one came or said bye or thanks for tip so just left money and went on my way

W. L.

Food was okay. Staff polite enough but waited an hour for our main course which took the shine off a little.

C. H.

Been here a few times now and the steaks/burgers are pretty good but if it's busy the food tends to take a while to arrive and is normally warm, but mostly the food is good, nice place too.

K. O.

Lovely food and service is great. Great value for money if you have a reward card

A.

Was ok, server was lovely food was not bad not great but not bad unfortunately i witnessed my sauce come out of a packet

K. M.

Once we got some service, it was great. Nice food, good waitress no more complaints.

P. W.

Somehow, Beefeater seem to keep me interested in their food, time after time. Even though I have eaten at 30+ of them, they have enough choice to keep me going, but first and foremost it's the quality that keeps me coming back and the Black Bear was no different. The steaks are sublime, perfectly cooked and the sides are of equal quality. One of the nights I thought, no steak, let's try a salad...WOW!!! Superb!! Beefeaters seem to have it just right and long may they continue doing so with me as a customer.

B. C.

Wouldn't recommend if you're in a hurry. Staff very pleasant and apologetic but service was extremely slow. In fairness cost was refunded as compensation for long wait time

E. S.

The batter on the fish was a bit greasy. But other wise fine.

S. G.

Overcooked steak, but good drinks and service. Amazing chips. The beer garden was nice.

T. T. F.

Its alright is the best way to describe it. Quite expensive for what it is. Which is mediocre pub grub. Many much nicer places around.

I. C.

Service was very slow but both the staff and food was good

R. R.

Since the refurb, excellent and warm decor. Great selection of food and drink. Staff warm and friendly. Great place for couples or family meals 😀

K. F.

The staff here looked after myself my 16month old twins and my mum after we had a breakdown and scare on the m74. They were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful.

d. s.

It's a lovely place to grab a meal or drink with the family, nice atmosphere inside & very comfortable. The food is always good, always!!

V. J.

A lovely atmosphere throughout was evident upon entry that continued throughout the evening.

D. P.

The food always seems to leave me a little underwhelmed in here. Had steak this time and it wasn't the greatest. Would expect better.

E. C.

Helpful staff, lovely food. Steak was cooked just the way I like it and peppercorn sauce was lovely. Will be back 😋😊 Helps that they do a blue light discount 👍🚑

G. B.

Been here a few times, cool staff, decent food, sunny day today, plenty of seats. Happy to recommend.

J. R.

Friendly staff, food very nice, esp the bottomless chunky triple cooked chips. Smoky Paprika Chicken was lovely.

I. M.

The food was excellent value we had to be out for 6pm due to covid 19

A. Y.

Great place, loads of free parking, easy access to motorway. Friendly staff good coffee (costa) Plenty of space around the tables and lunch was very nice

A. G.

Great food and nice surroundings. Will vist again soon

D. B.

Slightly pricy for what is essentially simple pub food, what I had was nice and staff are great, fairly standard portion sizes

G. C.

Good menu nice food quick and pleasant service

A. M.

Good food & service at a reasonable cost. Easy location off M74. Plenty of parking. Outdoor service in good weather. Children welcome.

I. C.

This place has changed little in the last 10 years but is still a pleasant place to be. Male staff appeared a bit indifferent but did a service. Reasonable food at reasonable money

A. B.

Very friendly staff and good food

L. P.

It's okay, trying to be more than just standard pub food so I can appreciate that. They didn't have the tikka burger I wanted to try so settled for fish instead and was greatly disappointed. The batter was greasy and the fish inside was dry and almost inedible, with the skin still on! I understand that's a personal preference but I hate the skin still being on battered fish. The only reason this place is getting three stars is for the dessert. It was magical! A cookie base with a tart cherry filling, topped with chocolate brownie and a scoop of ice cream. 100% would eat the pudding again, but nothing else

K. S.

Great food,Excellent price,only to be outdone by the staff. Friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend

g. m.

Excellent quality and service, the £5.00 meal deal and & the £2.75 desert was well worth it. Brilliant.

K. “. O.

G. D.

Stayed for a week through work. Very good restaurant. Friendly staff and well cooked food. Would be 5 stars if the menu had more variety.

T. D.

Service is never the quickest but that will be due to how popular it is. Food is really nice and especially love various starters. Staff are friendly and attentive, free refills on the diet soft drinks which is great! I would always book ahead though.

A. R.

No complaints about the food very much njoyed .staff the salt of the earth such nice people we will be back .

B. M.

Their plant based Sloppy Joe is one of the best tasting burgers I've ever tasted. One of best barbecue sauces too. Decent portions and good service.

L. S.

A reasonable breakfast with excellent service. I've given 4 stars as I think quite expensive for what it is

M. M.

Food was amazing as was the service x

Y. Y.

Upon entering the restaurant we were asked to use the hand sanitiser. Shown to our table and was explained the one way system if we needed to use the toilet or when leaving. All clearly marked out with the arrows on the floor. They had tables with signs on which meant there was space between each one and partitions. Servers had masks and gloves on. Overall they took the health and safety of covid-19 prevention extremely high. Meal wise was very nice, although the rib eye steak was a wee bit overdone but the fillet steak was very very very good, wish I had that instead. Although I spotted the premium surf and turf on the menu which I think I'll go for next time. Shared the churros sundae. Delicious. Overall it was lovely meal and felt safe with he precautions in place. I've been to a couple of steakhouses in Glasgow and the prices for their steaks are generally twice the price of the ones here and I would say I'm happy to just come here for steaks. Will definitely come back in future.

G. C.

Great meal, and the service was outstanding!

C. S.

Food was lovely and well priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful

E. C.

Food ok but nothing exciting. Dining area lacks atmosphere and warmth as too big without any dividers of plants, etc. Staff seemed reticent while few customers. Prefer Bearsden Beefeater.

F. R.

We travelled for a funeral and the black bear is well placed to receive folk like us. I get the impression that the staff are very used to our type of customer and are very friendly and helpful and even advised us of where and where not to go for evening meals with spot on accuracy! 👌🤣

W. R.

Booked over the phone arrived on time waited a few mins then shown to table no fuss. Didnt have to wait too long to place our drinks and food order and staff were nice and polite . Decent menu food arrived piping hot no complaints. However watch out as the car park are installing parking restrictions so remember and put in your registration upon arrival.

B. F.

Five of us went for dinner and lwas charged twice in my bank account but was refunded minus 12p. Didn't receive apology and l had to phone them twice to get refund.

J. M.

Not only is the food always fantastic here - steaks are always cooked to perfection - even the calamari is not over cooked and rubbery, but tender and moist. Also if you are part of the rewards scheme - which i recommend you get many discounts - i had a 50% discount voucher and had a wonderful family meal, 6 of us had 2 courses, all mains were steak and the bill was just over £100 including drinks - how can you beat that 🙂😎

B. M.

Good quality, great service, clean and spacious, ample parking.

S. M.

We visited this on the dine for 50% so we're obviously happy with the prices. Even at full price it would have been reasonable. Setup really well for social distancing with arrows showing you the way (though confusing at times). Friendly helpful staff with nice good and nice atmosphere.. Would definitely recommend.

K. H.

Good food and good prices. Only one fault, the meringue kisses were described as being served with strawberries but was served otherwise rede currants and raspberry. Had such a lovely meal I didn't bother mentioning it.

G. E.

This place has been a favourite for a wee surprise treat over the years, but our last visit was a disappointment. Our server was completely disinterested in us. I felt uncomfortable - as if our being there was a chore. My steak was advertised as 'unlimited chips' but not once was I offered, nor fresh drink orders offered. The place was very quiet, being mid afternoon, so no excuses. The food was good - it always is in my experience - but it wasn't enjoyed on this occasion.

L. R.

It's a great location with plenty parking. Staff are lovely. Food was lovely & hot. Upgraded steak very tasty.

J. S.

Probably the best meal I've eaten at a beefeater or anywhere in a very long time the staff here go above and beyond, outstanding service. I wish I could give you more star's.

A. M.

Great service lovely staff ,kids eat free ,the waitress was very attentive and the breakfast was very fresh and hot will be back

F. W.

Our server Allison was fantastic as always. Very kind, helpful and pleasant. The restaurant was was busy and yet she did well to make sure we were well looked after. Allison has served me and my family a few times, and we always get a fab service. The food was amazing. Would totally recommend the scallops and roast beef.

S. D.

We have stayed at the Premier three times in the last week and eaten both breakfast and dinner at the Black Bear. The staff are friendly, attentive and professional. We couldnt fault them. Breakfast and the Mixed Grill were especially good. Not often I recommend a chain but I wouldn't hesitate to go back here

Just had a delicious meal here tonight(bbq chicken and ribs). Service was fantastic, both from the lovely girl who greeted us and showed us to our table to another lovely girl who took our order and served us. Would definitely have no hesitations in recommending this restaurant for a great dining experience.

D. C.

Not as good as it used to be, arrived at the restaurant at time booked on line to be told had no reservation shown showed my confirmation email from them on mobile was told to come back in an hour not a good start, meals for 3 people 2 of orders were wrong waitresses still as friendly very very limited menu choices looked to be short staffed. Will not hurry back.

Typical beefeater food nice staff very helpful

p. h.

Staff were nice and the decor of the place was nice and inviting. Ordered myself beer battered fish chips and mushy peas and the other half ordered beef and cheddar pie with mash and green beans. The meals came and to be honest was quite disappointed. The fish was nice but it wasn't beer battered as it said in the menu and my other half didn't particularly like the beef pie as it was suet pasty. Only thing that was really good was the desserts afterwards. Would come again but it would of been nice to get what we had ordered.

C. O.

Not the most modern decor but staff friendly and food pretty good. Beefeater tends to be on pricey side for what you get, but great value if you have a voucher.

R. T.

D. M.

E. Q.

Enjoyed the food and the staff were very pleasant

L. M.

Beefeater is a beefeater. Staff very pleasant and helpful when our app wouldn't let us order. Ginger beer was exceptional.

L. M.

Expected more from this place - used to be so nice too. Food was mediocre at best, overpriced. The place is in need of a refurb. The servers were the best part of the visit

L. G.

Visited here while staying away for work. Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend

p. r.

Was very good service great waitress Leanne looked after us well

D. B.

Good social distancing measures,but one member of staff coughing and serving food with no mask,I understand some people can't wear them but this person shouldn't be serving food.that being said food was great and we will be back👍

K. K.

The staff were lovely and service good. All steak (3 out of 5 dishes) was requested cooked rare, all came over-cooked. The stroganoff steak did not taste like any stroganoff I've ever tasted which was really disappointing but it was still an ok taste just not what was expected! The restaurant itself was really tired, broken and dirty looking, badly in need of a refit!

N. C.

As you'd expect from a large chain restaurant. The food is good and arrives very quickly... decent selection and plenty of space both inside and out. Few benches etc. outside for when (if) the weather's good. You can eat and drink out there, however, there may be people smoking in close proximity.

S. A.

Staff lovely and Debbie was also very helpful Food and service good, place welcoming, nice and clean 👍🏻

S. E.

Overpriced low quality cooking and materials, charcoal chicken resemblance like boil, the steak must be cooked in the morning and reheat, the serving staff is the only thing that have and add value to the shop, I believe you can find descend food somewhere else

J.

Restaurant was clean and staff were friendly. Food was great and fresh.

I. M.

Just had a lovely night with family and friends celebrating a special birthday.warm cosy atmosphere. Great menu choices for adults and children. Our waitress Kirsty was super efficient.nothing was a problem.same for all the staff.food was tasty and cooked to perfection. Well done chefs x and everyone xx

V. R.

Choose 3 course meal for lunch at £11.95. Portions and good size and tasty! Thoroughly recommend.

K. M.

Place was cold, food was ok

B. L.

The food wasn't bad but I can't comment on the value as I was there after a funeral so didn't pay for the food. The staff were really great and when my youngest son asked for extra chips they brought him some for no extra charge. The place inside is ok for a family restaurant.

J. J.

Staff were nice probably the best beefeater I've used will go back next time I'm over there

W. M.

We were served today by a lady called Danielle who was very nice and fought full. Who helped make our lunch very good…

k.

staff is so welcoming, amazing services, it’s a family involvement and great breakfast.

E. W.

Really great food, nice atmosphere too! Staff here are very nice

G. R.

First time eating in this Beefeater. Was not expecting much but on the comtrary it was deelish. Had the fillet steak was juicy and tender Would come back

B. H.

Wont be back for a while after today,s visit ! My wife wanted fish and chips only to be told sorry we don,t have any Pollak left only Haddock. No problem I,ll have the Haddock she informed the waiter, both our meals duly arrived, Haddock looked nice but when sliced open found it had been cooked with skin on it and she had to pick the meat away from skin to eat it, also found the peas were cold. Readily accept that fish can come with skin but feel it should be stated on menu and or informed by waiter. My meal of open steak sandwich was very nice to be fair. Waiter did ask if everything was all right with the food and before my wife could answer he was off to serve another customer. Then came the bill an extra £2.49 for the Haddock, my wife questioned this only to be informed its stated on the menu that the waiter had taken from my wife as she had asked for fish and chips originally so she had no chance to read this, nor did the waiter point this out when he informed her that they only had Haddock available. We duly settled the bill and left discontented with the level of service.

First time I'd been here for about 6 years. Staff were really happy and friendly, our server was Joyce, she was great. Food was excellent, portions were very generous.

L. J.

M. M.

Had a lovely lunch yesterday. Food was delicious and service first class. Hats off to Dariel who was so pleasant. Couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you, Dariel!

M. K.

A bit on the pricey side, and the service can be a little slow, but the staff are attentive, never had an order wrong. The food quality is really good amidst a limited selection. Try the Chicken Escalope, it's awesome and really filling!

D. B.

Always had a good meal and good service here. Team are so friendly.

D. F.

Decent menu Veggie options better than average. Good service.

T. Y.

Good food. Amazing staff. Friendly, helpful and very professional despite the current situation.

D. E.

A beefeater next to premier inn needs a refurbishment food OK but not best beefeater. Not enough staff bar service very slow.

m. b.

Well, tonight was one of those nights where the meal was just perfect, got the mixed grill, I of course couldn't eat the whole thing...have a tomato had to go in the bin, soz. Onyhoo, 2 things would make here even better...a proper steak pie on the menu and...proper full fat pepsi back on the refill...can you not just charge a bit more or even 2 a 2 drink minimum for the extra charge...2 is all I need man. Onyhoo, again, great meal.

W. B.

Had a lovely evening , food was good and served quickly,staff were very friendly and helpful , A very good experience all round .

M. M.

Staff lovely and helpful. Food average. Steak sandwich, steak chewy and went cold very quickly.

F. G.

I was booked in by my company. Not recommend eating Prawn cocktail prawns were ok sauce bland lettuce not much better. Hot sauce half chicken slaw nasty, corn cob looked microwaved. Chicken was ok cool but skin needed to be BBQ to Chris’s it and sauce would have been better is skin was forked and flavoured the meat. Veg rice was an extra charge as I don’t do fries. Won’t be recommending Beefeater.

w.

Only just making 3 stars as the staff friendly and attentive. Pleasant space to be in although let down as other Beefeater are by offering over expensive average quality chain food. Not really here by choice.

H. A.

Food is tasteless better to go to weatherspoons for better value for money Ambience was good Service was good too

L. M.

While staying at premier inn, went for breakfast at beefeater. Scrumptious all you can eat breakfast. Just £9.50 for me and my two kids. They loved the absoloute well laid out breakfast buffet. Pauline, the staff member made our visit memorable as she was so friendly, attentive and made us feel at ease. Will definetly go back as prices and service was brilliant. 100% recomend - Lavina

I. M.

Pleasant local with nice food. Change the menu often so always good to try different things. Staff always courteous, especially staff member Abbie in-service with a smile all the time!

M. B.

I had an expectation when my mother and Stewart said this was their typical place to eat and have a few drinks out, and it was met. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was quality and tasty, and the drinks were well made.

J. M.

Great food ,, reasonably priced and staff were very friendly and so attentive .

T.

Lovely food, lovely staff, definitely will be back here hopefully in a few months time.

K. H.

Great meal and service staff first class

N. F.

Over the past two years the Black Bear has went downhill with their service and the quality of their food. I feel that you are paying the same price for food that is to lower standard. There has been a change with the staff also as before they had the staff were always extremely helpful and friendly and now I feel that some have a terrible attitude towards the customers.

E. E.

Food was all right, not impressed though. Lobster burger was meaty however no much lobster. The tandoori burger sadly was bland. Sitting outside you are restricted to a smaller menu of snacks burgers and ribs.

S.

My first night here was terrible. Everything I ordered was out of stock and I settled for a ribeye steak. I ordered it medium/rare....came well done. Seemed to have a soup of the week rather than a soup of the day. The waitresses were really helpful and friendly, especially the blonde lady in the mornings. Had a great sense of humour and really made us feel like we were at home. Drinks are a bit pricey though...London prices.
