M. M.

Lovely local restaurant if you're in Cumbernauld. We were greeted with a warm welcome from the manager Andy and our server Hannah could not have been any nicer she was so friendly and efficient. The food was great and was very reasonably priced and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

J. M.

A.

Pleasantly surprised just how good the food was

G. a. I. H.

Not bad value but the beef was a little tough. Great service from Kate.

C. M.

Good food, burgers and steaks always delicious! You pay abit more but you taste the quality.

J. H.

Cosy setting and decor. Food was above average and the table service was excellent. Comfortable and varied seating in a multi-level area. The main tier of which is wheelchair-accessible.

S. C.

Good food, great atmosphere and staff are friendly enough.

P. D.

g. s.

Staff are really friendly and helpful

T. H.

I've been working away from home and eating out for over 20 years and this has to be the best place I've ever been. The staff are amazing, very helpful and informative. I would like to say a special thank you to Andy the regional manager. Kate, Hana, Jodie, Sharon and Donna You all have made my time away from my family worthwhile, I have made some good friendships and will be sad to say goodbye.

O. M.

Sometimes the food can take a little while but it's always great quality and the staff are always lovely! Shout out to my boy neil! Best server out.

G. N. b. C.

We've been dining here for years and never been disappointed with service or food ! Celebrating my brother's birthday and had a good time as always . Thank you

S. W.

Good variety of meals. I had chicken and ribs, delicate & delicious. Staff were all very friendly and attentive too.

P. R.

Fantastic staff at the Beefeater and until this evening 28/07/18 same at the Premier Inn. I know you shouldn’t let one staff member influence your stay/review and I haven’t but the receptionist at the Cumbernauld premier Inn, was rude, threatening, bullying and down right nasty and all I asked for was an extension lead for my sleep apnoea machine as the nearest socket is on the other side of the room. Hope no-one ever wants anything difficult as she may become a real monster.

L. A.

Absolutely brilliant food the staff are amazing especially James who was our waiter at tea and breakfast we had such a laugh with him especially when the chef wrote birtday instead of birthday would highly recommend

G. W.

Great staff, really friendly. I recommend the steak skewer with three cheese fondue as a starter. Had it every meal whilst I stayed at the premier inn next door.

G. W.

Had a lovely meal and met an old friend from back in the Capo Lands days.Nice seeing you again Steven

K. D.

It's ok...bit pricey unless you go on reward card saver and get % off via e.mail ect. Christmas meals were spot on. My steak was cooked to perfection

C. J.

Newly renovated and still smelling of paint the Dovecote has a nice open plan layout with a good atmosphere as well as a good selection of alcoholic beverages. The food is typical of a Beefeater chain and rather costly but that doesn't stop me giving it 5 stars

K. F.

Food good. Staff smart and welcoming. Check your bill, overcharged twice now, looked ok till home an checked.

B. R.

Staff where really pleasant, however, we had a very lengthy wait time in getting our order taken, then another lengthy wait in getting our food.. Total time in getting food on the table was just under one hour🙄 hopefully Beefeater will employ more staff going forward. In a positive note the food was very nice. Apologies if this sounds like a conflicting review & doesn't help in you deciding whether to dine in the beefeater.

J. M.

lovely meal. social distancing done well. staff were friendly and helpful.

W. B.

Great place for meals. Don't need to book in advance. Staff really nice and helpful. Just pop in and try. Easy parking.

T. S.

Had a lovely meal and the service was first class reasonable prices and a big thank you too Hannah who took care of us many thanks we will be back soon

B. A.

Turned up at the Dovecote without pre-booking and the lovely manager managed to find us a table....thank you ! Our assigned waitress was extremely nice and very friendly and nothing seemed a bother for all that she never seemed to have minute to turn around. It had been 20+ years since we had last visited as we now live in Inverness therefore surroundings has changed but still a very spacious restaurant and Covid regulations were strictly adhered to. On entering from the carpark you could easily get in with a wheelchair as it is all level. However, once inside, the various areas were only accessible via a few stairs. There were a small number of tables on the ground floor that is visible from the entrance so there may have been more. Unfortunately we were disappointed in the food. The Doom Bar Pie had an overpowering taste of onion which detracted from the taste of the stew and the fried haddock still had skin on which was unexpected and although the waitress apologised for the haddock (we did not complain about the pie) it wasn't her fault, we just did not expect it. When we stayed locally we frequented the Dovecote regularily so this was a "passing through" visit only and therefore not likely to visit in the forseeable future

C. M.

The food was OK though my steak was cooked rare rather than medium rare. There is a definite lack of staff, and the place lacks any kind of warmth.

G. W.

Not very busy food and drink overpriced, nice bar and restaurant though 👌

D. G.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and a catch up with some friends. Food was good and arrived quickly, staff were friendly and very helpfull.

Booked for 70th birthday and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Alas. The drinks order seemed to take forever to come as ther was only on barman on.

A. F.

This place just seems to get worse each time we visit .. had to wait over 45 minutes for food when it did arrive salad covered in dressing although it was made very clear I have allergies and there nothing should have anything on it .. failed to bring second round of drinks ordered and also failed to even ask if we wanted desserts .. only raised the question when we complained about the wait, the salad dressing and failure to bring drinks ..

A. E.

This is the second week I've eaten here due to working away and I have to say, it's top notch. The food is always piping hot and well-prepared, it's not too busy, and it seems to be run like a very tight ship. The team are friendly and welcoming which is always a relief for someone who dines alone and is away from home. Thanks for the great service and I look forward to eating here again next time I leave Yorkshire for Scotland ☺

G. R.

I had a family celebration dinner ( my sons birthday) here on the 03/03/2022 with 4 adults and 2 children. Before arriving having booked a table I phoned ahead to ask if I could bring a cake, upon hearing it was a birthday dinner the very nice guy on the phone said he would set up the table with a birthday banner and when we got there it was so great , the table was decorated and there was also a balloon 🎈 on the table with fancy napkins as well. The staff where great and had a lot to deal with with us seeing to the kids and ordering but they honestly couldn't have been nicer. The meal,pudding was great and they brought out the cake I handed in upon arrival and when it was brought out lit with a candle the staff also sang happy birthday as well as a few people having dinner at tables near by . Thankyou to all the staff for making it a wonderful day and for having patience with us ,we'll definately be back. Thankyou Julie.

The staff here are just the best. Totally loved Stephen (Sid). He knew all the answers to everything we asked and got a few things put through the kitchen special order for us. I would definitely recommend going here, there's not many places to sit down in the area so pop in if you're passing and give it a try.

G. D.

Great food, great service.

J. K.

Great prices and food amazing

G. P.

The staff here are always so fantastic. Friendly; helpful, polite and understanding of our personal situation by being intuitive enough to pick up on my father-in-law’s health demands. Can’t speak highly enough of this place! The food is always reliable and exactly what you ask for. Looking forward to our next visit to Cumbernauld to visit our family so that we can head here.

Quality of service was spot on but quantity lacking, no clear roles for staff i.e hostess too busy serving food to seat guests in reasonable time, check back at about 3mins as should be, food all cooked well, except well done came out medium (i wouldn't cook a steak well done either, I'd ask them to choose something else)

On a 3 day training course staying at the Premier Inn, this Beefeater next door. Great service, quality and hospitality, excellent prices for the food quality. Will stay again on future course.

E. S.

Food was good but the service was really slow. Need to be a bit more attentive towards the customers.

We visit this restaurant regularly as our son who is autistic lives routine and his steak! The staff are extremely friendly and always helpful. The food is always phenomenal. Never once have we had to send back a meal or complain, which is a feat when you go out with a large number of people. The steak is always cooked to perfection and the flavour is indescribable. The changing menus with seasons is a great idea even though a lot of the main dishes continue on again it's great for an autistic child. The noise level is great too for those with sensitive ears although depends on what time you go. The music is very low and I'm sure if you needed to the manager can find a quiet little corner. This has been requested by us in the past and we have been able to still enjoy our meal with our son who doesn't like busy places. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The quality of food and service is top notch and you won't find better within the area.

C. C.

Always a great meal, great service and value. A very warm welcome from all the friendly staff. Highly recommended.

M. S.

Usually like going here but this week's experience was poor. Welcome wasn't particularly friendly. I understand the need to complete covid protocols but it can be done in a friendly way. Website for purchasing drinks was poor. All food and drink on one page required endless scrolling, no filters or tabs. Saved my payment details as requested but didn't actually save them. Waited around 15 mins for our 2 drinks on each of our 3 orders, even though it wasn't busy. At a few mins after 10 we were abruptly told they were closed, although advertised closing time was 10.30 and no last orders were announced. 2 mins later were reminded so promptly drank up and left. Won't be back in a hurry.

D. A.

Love this place and the meal once again was fantastic. Waiting staff always attentive. Can't fault it really.

W. T.

Where to start, this place has and does it all. Friendly staff and a vast array of drinks and meals all at an affordable price. I looking forward to returning.

I. J.

Food is high standard and delicious with friendly and welcoming staff Would definitely recommend this place Tried the new menu item hot dog, really enjoyed it and would have it again

M. S.

Great service from the well presented staff, helpful and pointed out all the good promotions. Wide selection of drinks from wines to craft beers. Food was nice but was generally a bit lower quality than the menu suggested. Still a good meal however especially if you are staying at the hotel next door as you get a good discount on food.

A. M.

Our second visit here and was even better than the first time. Friendly attentive staff, quick service, food was really really tasty and good portion sizes. All round lovely experience at a lovely restaurant, will definitely be back.

A. B.

Love the food here. Always of a high standard. Friendly service. Great menu. Good drink selection. Frustrated however at being kept waiting over half an hour after I had booked a table. Hope that doesnt happen again....

L. B.

Had a lively family afternoon a safe environment meal waa lovely and Hannah our waitress was very attentive and professional

S. C.

Food was nice but wouldn't make a habit of eating there

F. I.

Staff are absolutely brilliant. Out waiter a tall handsome guy couldn't have been more attentive. It's the staff who make this place as the food is ok but nothing to write home about. If the star rating was for service then it would be a 10/10.

C. M.

Was here not too long ago, the front of house staff were very accommodating, friendly and attentive. Although the food wasn't the best, might have just been an off day going by the rest of the reviews but my wife ordered a medium rare steak that came exceedingly well done and dry. I ordered the pork ribs that weren't particularly good either as the meat again was very dry and just slathered in sauce.

G. F.

The food is good and the service is great, but we've had to knock one star off for reducing the veggie options in the last couple of menu changes (we have a mixed veggie/non-veggie household). Apart from that, the Dovecot is a lovely warm inviting building that has multiple different seating areas partly dependant on time and staff but also for kids, couples and bigger groups. Looking forward to the next visit and hopefully a revised veggie menu.

E. H.

Good food a great staff

w. B.

Really surprised with this place. Can't quite remember the managers name but he was a nice, cool, attentive black guy. The staff were guided by the manager and were very good at looking after our party of 15. Constantly offering to top up our unlimited soft drinks was a very good touch. Pate starter was good, steak main was cooked perfectly and dessert was lovely. Brandy ice cream was like brandy with a wee touch of cream, best I've had. Wee hidden gem of a place, hope I can visit again.

L. I.

Booked the Dovecote for my hubby's birthday and was so pleased! The staff had dressed the table with banner, card streamers & chocs..... Such a lovely touch & my husband was chuffed to bits! The menu had a great choice, the meal was delicious and the staff couldn't have been more attentive & helpful! Would definitely recommend & go back again. Thanks to the staff, the wee attentions to detail made my hubby's birthday extra special.... Well done!!👏👏

M. B.

Just had the perfect minute steak! Asked if it could be cooked rare and the chef did it perfectly. Succulent, tender with a great flavour of garlic butter and perfectly seasoned. Staff were friendly and very accomodating and service was top drawer. Congrats to all y'all, thank you 🙂

D. H.

Great wee lunch at the Beefeater in Cumbernauld today. Great service by Nicole, couldn't do enough for us. Could see her smiling through her mask! Food was great. Amazing value for money

g. s.

Excellent service, I had the mixed grill, best and tastiest ive ever had . Fully recommend

Z. V.

The staff in this place are amazing, we go to the beefeater quite a lot and we always get a warm welcome and fantastic service throughout! Neil and Anna deserve a special mention as there service is always outstanding! The food is really good and is brought quickly, if you can manage the three courses it's definitely worth it. One of our favourite places to eat.

I had lunch here in November and was disappointed to see that Christmas menus were already in place. I felt that the season of goodwill was being abused by a company that was all too keen to introduce inflated festive prices. The food itself was okay but not worth the over-inflated prices. Service was fine and the place was popular. The only positive selling point for me was the Christmas deserts. These includes profiterols filled with amaretto cream accompanied with sherry flavoured ice cream, (Or something like that). It was worth the over-inflated price. Had I dined during December a Christmas menu would have been fine but in November I felt exploited and will not return quickly. Such a shame. Such greed.

S. S.

Great service and an excellent menu, very child friendly plus an open garden type area at back, good for a wander with a bored toddler. Menu is varied enough for everyone and kids meal was very good value and probably about right portion size. The website also had nutritional info for alot of the meals.

S. E.

Eat there a lot and the staff are always happy to take requests of no sauce / dressings or to switch potatoes for another side. So, food is always perfect and we clear the plates! I have loved the salmon teriyaki, tuna steaks, paprika chicken ... would love the grilled chicken thigh skewers to come back too! Worth every penny. The people who work there do a fab job - they give the place a good reputation.

A. P.

Good meal served to a party of 7 quickly and efficiently.

D. T.

My friend and l had lunch today in the Divecoat Cumbernauld. It was a really fab wee day out. Totally appreciated their due diligence for the Virus and felt really safe. The service, from all staff, was lovely, they couldn't do enough, and all wearing masks ect. The food is of a good standard considering the back of house is struggling for chefs during the pandemic.. Big shout out to Andy the manager, he came to each table to make sure all was well... Thank you Beefeater, it nice to know we have so where safe to eat out for lunch. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A. M.

I simply could not give 5 stars even though the food was very good. The first helping I got was unfortunately still frozen in the middle. However, they could not apologise enough and replaced the meal without question and offered free dessert. Having been brought up in an hotel, I am aware of how easy it is to pass something simple onto a newer employee who then tries to cut corners not realising the long standing protocols are there for a reason. Thus a meal slips through still frozen inside. It is not really the fault of the establishment.

B. B. B.

Had a lovely lunch with some fellow students from college. Our table host Hanna was lovely, service with a smile and couldn't have been more attentive. Definitely an asset to you! Customer Service 10/10. Andy the Manager lovely as well! Always has a smile on his face and pleasant to all who he greets! Another very big asset to your company.

A. D.

Great food and lovely staff. Would have voted higher but staff kept forgetting side orders like mustered and even forgot to bring one of our drinks. Do not let this put you off though, it's still a great place to eat

M. S.

Quite expensive staff are very helpful Nice atmosphere but the price is just too high for nothing extra special

J. S.

Staff are friendly and helpful. I have visited this beefeater several times before when working in the area and staying at the Premier Inn next door. The staff must have seen hundreds of people through their doors between my visits but they recognised me. Welcoming. Food is good as well. I have never had a complaint

P. B.

The thing that day makes Beefeater for me is the staff. Always friendly and helpful. If something goes wrong they try and fix it. What else can got say - they take care of you. Good food. Good atmosphere. Food staff. Good experience.

S. F.

Very nice server called Rebecca, took advantage of 5 pound main course , very nice , thank you !!

S. F.

Excellent service and food once again. It's so easy to forget how much Beefeater hits the mark every single time!

J. S.

Went there tonight for evening meal, excellent service from waiter called Stephen {Sid} as he is known, very polite and professional, Thanks Sid

D. A.

Rory Ruth & Karen are genuinely amzing people. They went above and beyond to cater for our large crazy family. We had birthday celebrations and made so much noise but the staff sere great. All the meals were fantastic.

F. C.

Not the same as it used to be had lamb which was pricey for a very small portion and lamb was quite grizzly. We did use a voucher they sent us and first thing they asked in going in is if we had one maybe that's why meals were small. Overall pricey for what we got even with discount

R. D.

Reasonably priced always clean and everything I've eaten in the restaurant has been great. Family meal, Sunday lunchtime and again nothing was too much trouble, food plentiful. Thoroughly recommend.

M. D.

Food and service is absolutely excellent here. Staff are always so welcoming and in a friendly atmosphere. Hana is lovely and so attentive to everyone, nothing is a bother. She is a wee gem. Michael is so efficient, cheery and friendly. He has a great sense of humour and makes you feel at ease which enhances our time. Thanks to all the staff which of course includes the chefs.

K. J.

We had two mixed grill, and they were perfectly prepared. Not just that, our table also had 40% off on top of that with the discount voucher. Top marks.

J. T.

Been twice both times staff were really friendly food is OK

C. E.

Nice place, nice atmosphere. However need to increase plant-based options, especially at lunchtime (I know it's not core business!).

S. I.

A bit of a local for us, generally quiet though and lacking in atmosphere. Always warm and comfortable though. Would rather be here than most places in cumbernauld. It's handy for takeaways. Occasionally we hear songs we like. And I am quite attracted to one of the barmaids. She's cute.

F. R.

Delighted our local Beefeater is open to the public again. All safety measures are in place and food is as delicious aa before. We'll be back again soon.

L. M.

Much like everywhere else at the moment some stock issues but food was nice and staff were friendly and helpful

T. M.

Sited on a slight hill this restaurant might have been a challenge for someone in a wheelchair. Well placed lift offered generous access to most of the main area. Throwing in a 'curve ball' with an extra tall person in my party didn't deter the efforts of the staff to please and we were soon sitting at a table everyone could get their feet under. Food was however a standard menu for a member of the Beefeater chain although every effort was made to comply to our individual requirements. Staff were always very helpful and made both for an enjoyable meal and time spent.

J. P.

Good service and good food but the aircon was verycold

B. K.

Great food, friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for a lovely experience.

M. L. H.

This was a wonderful place. Martin was wonderful and had the right mix of professionalism and humour. My beef and Doom (beer) pastry pie with mash had a hidden taste of Horseradish in the pastry.

T. T.

I've stayed at the Premier next door a number of times on business this year so have breakfast and evening meals here on most occasions. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the food is tasty and great value. All the staff do a great job of looking after everyone. Particular praise goes to the lady who serves breakfast. She always has a smile and a cheery welcome and sends everyone on their way with a decent breakfast in their belly and a cheery "have a good day!"

J. D.

Good menu. Like light bites and Costa coffee. Comfortable and good for meals or just dessert and coffee. Manager very high profile. Staff welcoming and friendly. At last somewhere decent to go in Cumbernauld.

N. P.

I was in the Dovecote earlier with a friend, the good was excellent, the staff are pleasant and welcoming. Likewise, a nice atmosphere with low lighting and background music. My daughter, my friend "stewbo" and myself were greeted at the door by a lovely gentleman called Andy, (being a cumbernauld lad I believe he may be known as "Andy fae Sax/Paps"), he was extremely polite, clearly been brought up with manners and etiquette. The waitress, a beautiful young woman known by the name of Hana, (with her bright blue Halloween style contact lenses exaggerating her eye colour) was very efficient; drinks were delivered within 2 minutes of ordering, desserts 3 mins, food ~ 18 minutes. She gave my daughter a farewell and a cuddle. I recieved a farewell and then made it clear that I wanted a cuddle and weather permitting a kiss 😁. 5 out of 5, nice place, I definitely will return. Regards

K. M.

Nice food although had to phone the pub for service for some drinks booked table in the restaurant.

A. S.

Great service with friendly staff. Attentive without being overbearing. The food was good. Reasonably priced. Nice relaxing environment. Would recommend.

J. D.

My wife and I have visited the restaurant for the 2nd time within a week , on both occasions we have both enjoyed the food and the staff were very polite and helpful from showing us to our table and making sure we had everything we needed until we left the restaurant.

M. L.

My mum ,granson and myself enjoyed a lovely meal. It is totally spotless..and everything is in place to keep it covid free. It was overall a very nice experience.

D.

Lovely meal from the lunch menu, and really well looked after by Ruth who was both lovely and attentive despite being the only waitress in the restaurant. 3 course meal for two with drinks for £25? Yes please

E. G.

Family meal was friendly served quickly meal was great very helpful with baby chair

L. M.

Food is always perfectly cooked and staff are friendly. Probably the best service I've received at any restaurant. Highly recommend.

P. P.

Good sized multi level/area restaurant furnished to a good standard of quality and comfort. Service polite, but took 5 minutes just to order a drink at the bar.

T. a. E.

Great staff. Ribeye was served rare. It should’ve been medium. But it was replaced without question. There is no where near enough pepper sauce to cover a steak and they charge £2 for each tiny serving. Ricotta cannelloni was nice. Parking is very limited as it is shared with the hotel. But of a pain really. We would come back (if they increase the pepper sauce!)
