Reviews of Medina Quay Beefeater
S. M. (. S.
It's hard for me to give this review the food was lovely and service was incredible so both aspects should be worthy of a 5 star review. However, the availability of what we would have liked to order was disappointing. Considering it was Sunday a weekend day you would think plenty of stock available for a Sunday Lunch. The staff were great and I can't fault them same with the food, such a shame if what we wanted was available we would have been 5 stars.
C. M.
One of the best Beefeaters we been too, Lovely area, great views, lots of parking, The restaurant was big clean and tidy and the staff was brilliant couldn’t have been anymore helpful. The food was great, cooked perfectly and the time between courses was timed so well. So happy we picked here. Thank you to Ann who looked after us, you was amazing
R. V.
Such a joy to visit here. The staff are always happy, kind and welcoming. A good vegan offering for both adults and children. Nice river view in the day and free parking (you need to use the machine inside to make this happen). We'll be back again soon!
J. A.
Nice location on the riverbank which would make for a nice place to eat/drink if the suns out.
As for food it’s okay - I had one of the largest beef burgers they offer for around £14.00 and for that money it was a very underwhelming burger in regards to size and flavour, the side of fries and coleslaw was small also.
For £14.00 the meal should be much better in my opinion.
L. M.
The staff were lovely and the main dinners were great. Didn't like the new waffle Sundae tho. Not much ice-cream and waffles made it dry. Bring back the strawberry sundae delicious!!!!!
R. C.
Lovely atmosphere and great staff. Food is priced ok but I felt the food was a little ok and not quite to the usual Beefeater standards, this will not put me off and definitely will be coming back. I recommend to anyone to give this place a try
H. D.
Table for 16, on a Saturday night. Service was excellent, food was exactly as ordered, arrived promptly with extras appearing as requested. Great for a family birthday celebration 🎂
C. A.
Staying at Premier Inn Newport which is along side Medina Quay Beefeater. We had dinner at Beefeater tonight (Saturday 19th September) Staff are very well prepared for covid restrictions and still very welcoming. Our meal was undoubtedly one of the best we have had for a long time. The steaks were cooked perfectly and very tender. We will definitely dine there again before leaving the island.
J. B.
The price on the main menu is a little expensive for the amount you get but other than that they sell some very nice tasting meals. As well as this the staff here are very friendly.
If you are looking for a meal which is better value for money then there is a daytime saver menu that you can choose from.
B. P.
Absolutely brilliant.
All you can eat breakfast, from complete fryed breakfast including things like black pudding and hash browns to cereals, fruits,toast, bagles, choc bread all the way to yogurts. Tea, coffee, lattes, three different juices and a smoothie.
All coocked almost perfect, egg was not quite to my taste but simple I didn't pick it.
2 adults £19 and 3 kids are for free.
The staff were great the even let us have a adults birthday prezzy opening at the back out the way.
I don't know how anyone could more
L. M.
Great treat once and a while doing the Breakfast all you can eat.. All the food is well cooked and tasty. With very helpful staff and a relaxed atmosphere its becoming a regular eatery for me.
T. H.
We weng there on a sunday to have the ultimate sunday roast. Staff was super nice, food as well. More than i could eat.
L. S.
Nice food.. burgers on a half price deal. Would have been disappointed if I'd paid full price. Unlimited soft drinks was great especially in this heat.
Overall not bad.
a. t.
Had a lovely family meal with the kids. Not busy, nice relaxed atmosphere. All of us had enjoyable meals & we had great service from Brandon who was awesome with the kids & us.
S. B.
Even though it was very hot and were pre warned that food may be delayed due to staff having more time to cool down between breaks we were served quickly and with a smile. The food was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful.
N. M.
We had to wait for the coffee machine but fair play there was a guy mending it... Other than that, everything was perfect. Top marks even when you do need a coffee like you life depends on it lol
A. R.
Brandon our table server was exceptional and very attentive, checking we didn't need anything and making sure we were OK, even though it was very busy , the wait for food was fine as it was lovely, we had nachos, to start then the surf and turf, which was delicious , but there could of been a few more squid pieces. We will be back.
S. W.
Loved the place. I hadn't been for years and I was really impressed. Food was great, staff were amazing and good value for money. Would definitely recommend.
S. K.
A very bubbly and welcoming Kelly showed us to our seats, and took our drink orders, then Aggie our waitress who gave us a very warm and happy welcome took our food orders, we didn't have to wait long, and the food was excellent, overall a very nice relaxing evening meal that we enjoyed very much, look forward to coming back again, so thank you Kelly and Aggie for making it a great evening out.
S. H.
Had two lovely meals here whilst on our stay,nice clean place,one or two more staff wouldnt go a miss to allow the waiting time for food to not be as long.
H. C.
We love it here, staff are soooo lovely (especially Dave) and make a fuss of my son every visit.
Food is scrummy and great value for money
k. s.
Took advantage of discount coupon so was good value, however food in my opinion was only average.
S. P. l.
Nice place to eat. Great food. No Loud music. Staff great.
B. W.
Found this little gem while on the island. It’s great, the food tasted really nice and fresh. Considering they were short staff, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Food arrived in good time, constantly refilling our drinks without the need to ask. Great vibe and clean pub. Very very happy with the meal and the kids loved it.
M. C.
Spur of the moment visit. Friendly staff as soon as we came in. Decided to order lunch, absolutely delicious. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection. I had the chicken salad with breaded mushrooms and my partner had the wings with another chicken dish. Very good value. Cleaned tables as soon as they were empty. Overall very impressed. Thank you and see you soon 😁
a. c.
Stated for a few days at hotel and had brekfast lunch and dinner. It was excellent on all accounts food service where all outstanding
G. J.
Nice enough but nothing special and not as good value as it used to be. Our younger waitress was great and called us all "my lovely" which we thought was a nice touch.
There was always a little something missing from the meals like sauces etc which was just irritating and could have been rectified with more care
A. G.
Just eaten here tonight with my family. All food was fresh and to a brilliant quality. Often I'm hesitant to order anything like calamari, scallops or prawns as lots of chain restaurants get the cooking of these ingredients so wrong. I ordered the our best ever surf and turf combo and it was amazing. The steak was just how I asked for it, the scallops and prawns were tasty, flavoursome and cooked beautifully, not over done, and the calamari was great to. So happy with my choice and felt like I wanted more of it as it was soooo good.
Kids loved the decor of the labelled cow too and thought it was brilliant with its different names.
Everywhere was safe and we felt happy to be there even with covid around.
Staff amazing too. Brilliant gentleman who greeted us at the door and fantastic serving staff too. Thank you
K. L.
Never had a bad meal here. It's always been great!
C. T.
We called in on the Mrdina at Lunchtime on a Friday and mmuch to our surprise given its location, the whole visit was really nice. The staff could not do enough for you extremely helpful and service excellent. I had the 2course meal on the lunchtime menu for under £10 and my partner had something from the make menu. We'll done beefeater you and your staff have got it right. Very nice location next the water,worth a visit.
W. W.
Always get a lovely meal here, and very happy friendly staff
T. B.
Always great food, brilliant pricing and good service.
c. B.
Catered for all ages and taste buds. Nothing too much trouble. Freya the waitress was excellent
C. N.
Fantastic staff, a group of 19 people in for the weekend and they couldn’t do enough for us.
H. a.
Always eat here for breakfast, friendly staff recognise us instantly quickly service great place to eat.
B. B.
Nice setting and nice food went there two mornings for breakfast both times the young ladies were brilliant especially the waitress Claire.
M. C.
First time attending Beefeater tonight, had the most wonderful experience. The young lad who served us was welcoming and funny. Food was served quickly and tasted wonderful, me and my partner bother had the Surf and Turf and it was wonderful! Puddings were larger than expected and also very yummy! Highly recommend and massive thank you to our waiter who unfortunately we didn’t catch the name of!
C. G.
Visited Beefeater twice and each time the food and service did not disappoint when hungry grand children are waiting.
N. E.
We went here for Xmas lunch. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. the meal was lovely. All in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.
P. W.
Decent breakfast buffet, vegan sausage and bacon cooked to order. Nice views from garden.
T. R.
We enjoyed our meals and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
In these days of galloping inflation, the food was value for money.
P. J.
Great pub, restaurant, foods good and its clean and tidy. Staffs great
e. w.
Nice place, typical Beefeater, great service. We had a table booked for 18:30. Unfortunately lots of food items on menu not available as run out of them, very early in evening to be out of both food and also some drinks.
A. E.
Took the family to Medina Quay Beefeater. Cannot complain all meals were e joyed Steak was cooked to perfection and not grisly. Service was attentive and friendly. Cist not bad.
L. W.
Served by Kelly, really chatty and friendly! Really really lovely place to eat and food was delicious! Would definitely come again ❤️
N. J.
Pretty good, food was very nice. Was a shame that they had run out of Chocolate Fondant's for dessert.
J. W.
Popped in for breakfast as birthday treat lovely food and staff were very pleasant
R. C.

A. F.
Quick service, good choice menu, good quality food and reasonable price.
O. H.
We arrived with 5 minutes to spare on the breakfast buffet. Staff waited for us to have our meals before clearing away even got fresh eggs for us. Manager at the time was very accommodating.
C. B.
Stayed here for a wedding had dinner and breakfast was all good can't fault and good staff
S. M.
Lovely staff, food was good just good time overall cheap and cheerful.
R. M.
Both days we ate here we had to request clean cutlery, not just a stain but food stuck between the forks. Availability was somewhat poor but that's how it is now. Told no fillet steak only for the table next to us to be offered it 30 mins later. Told no potatoes with the lamb only for the potatoes to turn up after all! Apple crumble needs to be better. Rest of the food OK.
L. D.
Excellent service from Brandon on our 1st visit and from Jordan R on our 3rd. The food was the best I have had at a beefeater. The staff knowledge of the menu was excellent. Very friendly and helpful service. I would highly recommend 👌
J. M.
Slow service, average cuisine, one meal returned as burnt.
L. H.
Great service for our Christmas Dinner. The food was very good. I had the steak and it was perfect. The young lady serving us was very interactive and catered to our needs even during a busy service. Thank you for a lovely evening
E.
Nice location by the river. Lots of seating outside for sun lovers. Drink bowls for dogs.
Staff were really nice and the venue was clean.
T. D.
Place wasn't busy at all 4 people in total but took around 10 minutes to be seated. Guy that seated us was really friendly and was always coming over to check on us and see if we needed anything this is the only reason I'm giving 3 stars!! If it wasn't 4 the guy I would of given 1 star.
Food was bland and plain! Loads of items on the menu were out of stock so it was very limited!!
R. B.
Had a quick off the cuff meal here after my covid jab. The Steak was scrumptious as was the rest of the meal. The service was excellent and could not fault anything. Well done guys and girls.
A. B.
Average at best, person taking us to table explained lots on menu not available but that was fine. Drinks arrived pretty quickly, server was asked to give us a minute as my partner wasn't quite sure, 20 minutes later he came back for our order. Food arrived , ribs looked very light on sauce see picture uploaded. Meat was so overcooked it was like sludge not enjoyable forced myself to to eat most of it because I was hungry. That bad even server didn't set machine to take tip. Shame always had positive experiencesbefore elsewhere, Server was going to pass feedback to kitchens didn't speak upduring meal only after second beer arrived relatively quickly.
C. M.
Lovely place to eat food great, staff very friendly, and something for the wife who does not eat red meat, thank you great place
T. M.
Nice location. If they could improve the river views from the garden it would be even better x
Z. S.
Great deals on breakfast, staff are always lovely and helpful
B.
Nice food and really nice staff, was just an average restaurant though but was still enjoyable, desert was great
V. W.
Lovely place very welcoming staff nice and clean and best food
D. T.
Great value and tasty food for your standard pub grub place. Staff were really friendly and attentive. This place deserves much more than 3.8 stars! On their covid system, we thought it was excellent, particularly the evening meal.
C. D.
We had the most fabulous waitress, her name is Kelly. She was happy and bubbly constantly throughout the evening! She kept us well topped up with drinks and ketchup! Her service never faltered. My husband and I have both managed restaurants in our time, we both agreed Kelly is an absolute vital part of your team, someone we would've loved to have had on our team back in our hospitality careers. She is GOLD!!! Don't lose her! The food we had was much better than our last visit, couldn't fault it at all! Really good tasting food, all cooked perfect, we cleared our plates, it was that great! We had a free meal voucher for my husbands birthday and we couldn't believe it when he could order a steak for nearly £20 and it was taken off our food bill!! Amazing!!!! We are a family of 6 so our meals out are rare. This voucher was so appreciated! We met another waiter and waitress throughout our evening, we didn't get their names but they were lovely too. The venue is clean, and a lovely atmosphere. Well done to all involved. We will DEFINITELY be back
R. A.
Nice place for a buffet, The food was great
A. L.
I've now been here twice around lunch time, the service has been fast and responsive. Staff take care of you the food is great value for the quality you're getting. I can't understand why these recent reviews from local guides are so appalling. Maybe it was an off day for them.
D. R.
Service very good and food was good. Parking available and nice views of River Medina. Still as good as last time. Really nice staff.
T. M.
Lovely place and the food was nice, but when my steak was accompanied by one mushroom, half a tomato and a dozen chips my plate looked a bit minimal and sad!
E. H.
My friends and I went here today. Friday 16th . Absolutely great service. Kelly and Dominic were first class. Really made sure we has the best experience. Food was delicious and we were not hurried .
S. U.
Good location on the bank of the Medina, food was reasonably priced and fairly tasty but my 'blue' steak was quite overdone. The staff were really pleasant and accommodating.
p. w.
1st time I have used nice atmosphere nice view lovely food
Z. X.
Stayed in the hotel next door and had a meal deal here and actually found it to be friendly approachable and friendly..
Breakfast is nice with an array of stuff to enjoy as standard and as for dinner tried three different dishes for the three nights I was staying in the hotel and found the steak and burgers to be good value for money, but the chargrilled Salmon somewhat a slight let down.. Based on portion size in comparison to other meals available..
I had to take off a few items I wanted from the menu as had left my wallet on the ferry crossing over so didn't have extra cash, but remained five stars as upon explaining the situation to the staff I found the hospitality to be top notch as embarrassing as it was as a customer with a piece of paper as my only payment method...
Overall an experience of beefeater, I won't forget and deserves the five stars. Had I of not lost my wallet, I would of happily left a tip as felt valued as a returning customer to the beefeater chain.
B. B.
It ok food not great could be better that
M. N.
Excellent service all-round,reasonably priced food . Had been caught up in traffic 15 mins late ,table had been cancelled, but all was ok as anther was found . Thanks to all
H. W.
We visited the restaurant we had a super meal, great service too, staff went above and beyond.
After our return home to Essex we realised we had left the out children's priceless fossil's there.
Dave the manager went above and beyond to reunite out children's fossils I cannot thank him enough.
Highly recommend a visit
H. R.
Great food very welcoming staff, especially KELLY the waitress who served us for three nights. She was very charming and good at her job. Would come back again if I'm on the Isle of Wight again.
A. G.
Food brill staff fantastic would definitely go again
J. A.
Had the burger but the cheese had congealed by the time it got to the table. Otherwise a pretty decent meal and friendly staff. More expensive than it should be.
M. R.
Called in for breakfast before catching the ferry home. English or continental breakfast available. Lovely food, lots of choice. Ate all we could. Filled our boots. Yummy
N. H.
Very nice pub and restaurant, friendly and helpful staff, very good food and drinks set in a lovely area of Newport, Isle of Wight.
K. O.
Served by pleasant helpful lady .I arrived later than the rest of my party but no problem as lady was looking out for my arrival. Nicely cooked food .
R. H.
Very pleasant and helpful staff, feel the breakfast was quite expensive. I guess it is all you can eat...
H. S.
Lovely views. Food simple but enjoyable
R. A.
We were a group of 9 with some awkward customers that the staff handled very well.
s. a.
Friendly staff,Good service. Food O.K.
s. w.
We had a fantastic breakfast, the staff were really helpful and very friendly beautiful place for a get together
A. N.
Positives, food reasonable value for price, staff very friendly and helpful, good clean venue, managers hard working and hands on. Downside, arrived at Six, left at nine, steak not cooked to order, so meal cooked again, meaning party not eating together. Staff quick to offer agreeable resolution. Assured a combination of busy night and short staffed. Will go again, everyone entitled to a difficult shift. Hope next time it can be four or five stars.
R. W.
Average sort of place. Staff very good. Meal was OK but not exciting. Would have liked to have seen more veggie/vegan options.
V. W.
As usual, steak was excellently cooked and enjoyed it. The staff serving us was pleasant and gave him a £5 tip. However, the staff who showed us the table was unfortunately not too accommodating and not to the standard when serving drinks! She had given us a table in a corner next to the computer till - not wholesome & enjoyable place to dine for which we ask to be seated somewhere else but she defiantly told us that all the tables were booked! We were there for an hour but not all the tables were taken. Not happy! To add to the injury, my ordered gin & tonic was without lemon & only a couple of ice and my sparkling water was without ice & lemon. The staff never asked me how I wanted my G&T & sparkling water. A definite let down! When I asked for lemon & ice, another staff (male) gave me a lecture on how the G&T be served with? I don't need a lecture....just serve it the way I wanted.... after all, I was paying for it and drinking it! ☹️☹️☹️. Will not come back in a hurry to this Beefeater Medina Quay and better not on a Sunday when these type of staff are scheduled to work!
r. e.
Great waiter, good food, only down side was the tables weren't really cleaned, but not horrendous
T. H.
Lovely to sit outside in the sun, but at around £12.00 for 2 Pimms, way too pricey.
D. S.
It was great, but they were out of a lot of menu item.
t.
Great location, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Worth getting a loyalty card for discount.
L. P.
Nice manager, child friendly, good value for money
J. L.
Food was delicious and a nice atmosphere. We were keen to try the chocolate bomb dessert which was very sweet, perfect if you love chocolate! Service was a little bit slow but they were rushed off their feet (Friday evening) so we didn't mind waiting.
K. K.
14 of us were booked for a special birthday celebration. We had a table which was in a perfect, private area & the staff were so friendly & helpful. They went over & beyond to make our experience one to remember! The food was lovely with plenty to choose from. The next morning for breakfast our table was set up with balloons & Buck's Fizz courtesy of the staff, this was such a lovely gesture which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be back again! Thank you.
G. R.
Excellent customer service and attention from Aggie, great as ever. Food was slower than usual coming, maybe due to large groups but didn't detract from a great evening
s. f.
It was nice place covid restrictions as expected the waitress was very cherpy and nice. food was OK not the best I've had at a beefeater. Also was pretty empty for 18:30 my wife had the chocolate bomb which was really good. But took a long time for the waitress to bring the bill waited at least 20 minutes but still I had to get someone to get the bill for me
L. M.
Went here for Sunday lunch and wasn't disappointed. When this establishment was Table Table, I had no interest in going here, but relaunching as a Beefeater I was curious. I'm really glad I tried it - the service was good and friendly. The food we ordered was very good, well cooked and presented, and had good flavour. There are plenty of options for all dietary requirements. The place seemed upbeat and clean with nice views of the Medina. I'm sure a summer visit would be even more pleasant!
A. H.
My wife and I stayed at the adjacent Premier Inn, and used the Beefeater Restaurant at Medina Quay for our breakfast and Evening meals as it was the most convenient.
An excellent choice, as it happens, as the food was wholesome, well prepared and presented by friendly, helpful staff, having a good knowledge of the Island, which proved invaluable due to our relatively short stay. - (We did finally locate the Prison on which my other half had become fixated for some unknown reason !! )
I have a dietary (gluten Free) problem which was fully catered for, to the extent that the chef prepared a g/f gravy (which I had brought with me) to have with the excellent lamb chops provided one evening.
All in all, we enjoyed the catering, service and value that we had in an efficient 'Corona Free' environment, and to which we will surely return !! Many thanks !!
N. S.
Ample parking, friendly and helpful staff. Went for breakfast which was buffet style. Lots to choose from: cereal, pastries, cooked breakfast all well presented and using good quality produce. Kids eat free too so it was great value for money too. Would definitely go again. Well done to all involved 👍
j. U.
Amazing staff!!!
Thanks to Anna and Daisy and specially the wonderful host Dave.
Dave gave us the best service ever during our stay hence we came back over and over again.
Food was great.
Duck and chicken wings were the best we’ve tasted in the UK.
Will definitely come back again!
S. R.
Booked the day before for my son's birthday and was told it would be busy just before the festival and it could be an hour wait for food. Waitress was happy and polite. 30 minute wait for our table of 9 for food and all was good. Given free extra fries for all too. Nice to have a good, hassle free meal out.
A. R.
Really nice buffet breakfast, accommodated a larger table with lack of staff. Good quality food
S. B.
Not a bad place to eat even thou it is a little of the beaten track. The staff were very friendly and soon replaced the fish due to the fish seemed to have disappeared from inside the batter. They soon a apologised saying the fish had melted, now that was a first. The chips were excellent made better as they were unlimited. As for the restaurant its self very impressive and clean. The million dollar question would I go back, yes.
J. D.
Came here last week and it was lovely, sat in the bar area and was served by Bailey, excellent service, lovely and accommodating staff, I will be coming back.
M. S.
Great breakfast, friendly staff.
m. h.
My first time there, food was fine, reordering drinks was hardwork but taking getting back to normal into consideration it was ok, I will return. Excellent location .

We have just had our Christmas dinner at this restaurant and were shocked at what we found. We had pre-booked the meal in November and when we told people that we were going we had a lot of negative responses. Reading reviews on-line didn't add to the appeal but having paid had very little choice but to make the best of it.
We arrived early not expecting a great deal but were very surprised, a warm welcome and shown straight to our table. A young lady introduced herself to us and got us our drinks order. The starter course arrived and was very well presented, hot and tasty. The main course was very well portioned and once again, hot and tasty. The dessert course was no let-down either.
All in all the whole experience was well above what we'd expected and would definitely be going back to try the 'every day' menu.
L. R.
waiters were so lovely to us, had such a warming welcome and food was amazing! recommend to anyone
A. R.
Can be understaffed early in the season if it suddenly gets busy. Staff are helpful polite and professional, bookings are advisable particularly during school holidays. They don't always have the full menu as some of their more exotic dishes are very popular and because it's an island, supply cant always keep up with demand. Having said That, I've never been disappointed with alternatives & I've eaten there 20 times in 2 months.
J. G.
We hadn't booked, but were able to get seated in the bar area. We were also told there was a 35-40 minute wait on food (which turned out to be a very accurate estimate). We were happy to wait, and when the food arrived we were very glad we did. Lovely.
S.
Had a meal here as it was our last night on holidsay and wanted something nice! Came across this beefeater and thought we would try it as we were starving! Had a wonderful waitress called Chloe (Chloe H on receipt). She was wonderfully polite, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Amazing food and a nice atmosphere and I hope the manager sees this as Chloe is a wonderful part of your team. Thank you for making our last meal on the island lovely!
D.
Went with some friends for a birthday meal and had a lovely time.
The place has come a long way from its days as a Table Table. It has been totally refurbished and looks great.
We were greeted by friendly happy staff and all enjoyed our meals. They specialise in steaks now and our server knew what she was talking about advising us on the best way to enjoy the different cuts.
The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and our server went the extra mile to make sure all out needs were met despite it being an extremely busy night.
We all said we'd book again.

Great food great service
L. M.
Staff lovely, shame on the wait for food. 1 hour 45 min wait for starter. Promised discount but instead given free drinks, which still took 25 minutes to arrive. Better planning needed, saving grace were the staff. Happy smiling faces regardless of how busy they were.
L. S.
Always enjoyed meals at Medina Quay Beefeater, although last visit not to happy with the steak. Probably due to a busy pre Christmas Saturday evening service but nice pleasant waiting staff put it right. I'm sure my next visit will be back to top quality meals that is the norm for this particular eatery.
L. T.
Much improved since Beefeater took over this pub restaurant. Food was good and service was good,. especially from Lou who seemed to be doing two people's jobs due to lack of staff but still providing a great attentive service :D. Thank you Lou! We'll be back! x
Lou where have you gone (April 2021)?! :(

Well maintained Beefeater with friendly staff. The garden is very pleasant with its view of the river. Food is standard Beefeater fare but they seem to have had a new menu recently and the prices adjust to have increased slightly across the board. Family friendly and useful if you're at the hotel and don't want to wander far.

First visit here, what a lovely outlook, over the river Medina. Had a Sunday lunch, which was delicious. Will definately be back.
J. C.
Went here for breakfast. In Seaclose Park near to River Medina. Disabled parking spaces. Parking is Pay and Display but free to blue badge holders. Beefeater is fully accessible to wheelchairs. You pay when you get there and everything food and drinks is unlimited.
You help yourself to everything. Hot food buffet. Yogurts, pastries, cereal, toast your own bread/bagel. Hot drinks, fruit juices and smoothies. You can have as much as you want of anything if you pay for the full breakfast.
Its a nice cosy place and staff are very friendly and will help you in any way they can. Food is nice and they go out of their way to make sure nothing runs out, especially the hot food.
Really recommend here and it is busy. Seemed to be mostly hotel guests but also people like us who just came in off the street. Nearly £10 each which seems a lot but you get everything for that and can have whatever you want. Will definitely be returning.
F. S.
Staff welcoming, friendly and efficient. Disabled access is very good. Parking is available.
The food is basic but arrives hot and tastes ok. Not gourmet but does not pretend to be.
Breakfast has a vast choice of foods but the buffet style seems to allow food to go cold.
F. O.
Nice pub in a lovely setting with an outside seating area - this would benefit with some kind of play area for the little ones, which it lacks but there is plenty of bushes and tress for hide and seek.. The staff seemed really nice and are extremely helpful.
It has the usual beefeater menu with the daytime £5 main course choices( unlimited 3 way cooked chips or vegetables with some dishes).
N. T.
We went for Sunday lunch,had booked. When we arrived you could see it was busy. When we ordered we were told there would be a wait for food as it was busy which was no problem as we could have a chat. I ordered the roast beef and was very impressed when asked if I wanted it pink or well done.
J. G.
Tasty food at fair prices, certianly not cheap but good value for money. Staff are fantastic and always willing to help (even the trainee waitress who served us was brilliant). Everyone was polite and had a smile on their faces and the place was cleaned and had a nice atmosphere. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again!
a. g.
Food is ok but I really don't think it's very good value for the prices they charge and the quantity of food you get. (To be honest, I only ever go here if I've got a 40% discount code via email, wouldn't go there and pay full whack that's for sure!) Definitely preferred this place beforehand when it was a table table establishment as I used to love their burgers. Better than Beefeater without doubt
G. G.
FOOD GOOD SERVICE LACKING.So as I know there are sometimes coach parties I booked a table for 1 pm with an advisory that I would like to be seated in a less crowded area . When we got there we had to wait 5 mins before anyone was around to be seat us. When we where seated the supervisor or manager seated us right in between two couples which I challenged him on and didn't seem to care I had requirements on the reservation and just basically said no the other tables where for walk in . So we sat in a booth which wasnt table service and not what I was looking for at all. The food was great lovely tasting ,but there wasnt enough staff on only 2 waitresses and then another manager turned up people where waiting to be seated and whenever another customer asked for a gluten free menu he was snapped at and told no 'we dont have gluten free menu just pick off the menu and we will do it gluten free the customerdidnt seem happy . Overall food great staff need better tone in there communication
D. G.
Fantastic blue fillet steak, even with the chef saying his meat was a little fatty and didn't want to cook it blue. Succulent and tasty, couldn't fault it.
P. d.
We were pleasantly surprised just how good this Beefeater is. The girl serving was nice and friendly, providing excellent service. Had the Asian beef salad starter which was fresh and tasty and the rib Burger were the beef was very tender.
L. M. (.
The burgers are the normal go to at Beefeater. Work your way through the options and you won't be disappointed. I had the tandoori chicken burger with the skinny fries this time round, thoroughly enjoyed it. There are good saver and refill options available. Make sure you become a member of the reward club and get really worth while discounts. Recently a friend and I had lunch there (burgers of course) and with the options and vouchers came away with a 60% discount.
S. E.
An amazing meal as always the staff freiendly.
A. H.
Don't matter where you go you can always rely on a beefeater. Good grub good service 👍
I. W.
Went in without a booking they had a look and found us a table our server was new to the job but very professional and friendly food was very good would go back again if over on the island
M. S.
I have been to the Beefeater many times. I always enjoy the meal. The menu is varied and reasonably priced. This particular Beefeater is large inside with parking right outside. A visit is definately worth it.
B. W.
Nice location by the river, and the staff were very friendly and helpful
C. H.
£9.50 All you can eat breakfasts are great well worth the money.
The car park is a decent size with plenty of disabled spaces and the toilets are in good condition, The staff are friendly and helpful so overall this is a nice place highly recommended 👍🏻
c. H.
Our first visit here and also the IOW. Great food, made to feel very welcome, our server Tracy was brilliant. Highly recommend the Medina Quay
l. W.
Great place to go I went at lunch time and was greeted by friendly staff. Very clean and all covid rules were being followed.
This beefeater is next to a premier inn. So could be busy in the evenings but great for a quiet lunch.
P. S.
Been staying here for 2 months. Yet to find fault. Breakfast is made by the lovely Aileen who always has a friendly word and reception is very accommodating especially Hales. Almost got my own room!
W. S.
Very good service, good food and friendly staff. Well laid out to suit today's situation. Would definitely go again, when in the area.
D. B.
It's unfortunate but the last two times I have visited this place the service on food has been slow. The staff are great but the kitchen seems to be getting slower. The food and drink, once they arrive are nice and the value is good, but it just feels as though they need more staff in the kitchen.
t. b.
Lovely meals. Friendly staff
D. M.
We stopped here for breakfast on our way to an early morning funeral on the Isle of Wight....food was fine, this was buffet style, our local beefeater is fresh cook to order which is better but no complaints from the boys.... location and accessibility great, I'd have no problem going there again.
s. h.
This was absolutely fabulous. The guy on the door was really nice made us very welcome as we are on hiday will use them again. Service was fantastic too.
I. D.
Absolutely lovely meal again. Always have the haddock but tried the new minute steak and frites brilliant, my wife had the fish.
Both more than satified with food and staff, served by Aggie very profesional and friendly,
see you all soon.
D. B.
Good food, ambiance and customer service...go and try it yourselves.
B. W. (.
I'm Celiac and asked for gluten free weeks before and they didn't seem to be able to cope with my needs straight away? l had to double check every thing they brought me! starter had to go back as had normal bread on plate!! So any fellow Celiacs if your going, do not take it for granted you will be safely looked after with out having to double checking everything 🤔 my husband wasn't to happy with floppy salad and the vegetables. Other wise a good evening was had and the waitress was very patient with us and did a good job serving 😊
I. M.
Had the large chicken and pork BBQ ribs which were fantastic
S. F.
Food's good. But either you can't get the refillable chips or the refillable drinks. Last time the chips had to be requested 3 times & didn't come until all the other food had been eaten. Tonight getting drinks was the issue.
K. D.
Food always good. And love that kids under 15 eat free. Makes it amaxing value for money. Love the black pudding! Good variety of drinks too, hot and cold..
I. G.
Basic pub-chain type restaurant.Particularly good choice for children off the Children's menu as you can mix and match choices for the meal. Food has always been good, and the staff always appear knowledgeable about the choices on the menu.
Always clean and tidy, and a fantastic view along the River Medina.
B. C. C.

Staff pleasant and accommodating, but unfortunately the steaks were not cooked as per order for our group.
S. H.
Very friendly staff, all you can eat breakfast. Good for the price
R. F.
I think it was instant mash with the sausages but the food was nice. We sat outside in the hot sun and blue sky (in April!). Very pleasant experience. We had to do for ourselves a lot as we were sitting outside.
K. B.
Ok place....somewhat expensive for a charity....
t. c.
Good atmosphere. Bit pricey but with 40% off vouchers makes it reasonable. Tasty food. Friendly staff. Bit of a wait for food to arrive, probably because it's not microwaved!
A. C.
Food is fantastic and waiter Simon is a brilliant welcoming and officiant member of ur staff. He goes above and beyond to make your visit a enjoyable one. He is a credit to your team. We visit couple times a month for a Sunday breaky in Newport I.o.w. Simon keeps the place running very smooth and always keeps counter topped up with hot food as well as the coffee machine and breakfast bar as well as keeping it all clean and tables cleared. We love It! That fella does not keep still
K. L.
Lovely group meal out. Service prompt all choices cooked as required. Staff friendly. Could maybe add a few more gluten free options
S. C.
OK food, not especially cheap, around £8 to £15 for a main. Can be a wait for food based on 2 occasions we visited when they were not particularly busy. Very helpful and friendly waitress on one occasion, mess up of order on second occasion. Didn't notice aircon but was quite cool in hot weather.
E. H.
Had the special lunch menu . Good value and really enjoyed it ☺️
P. M.
Lovely setting for a restaurant, the service was quick and the food was excellent.
D. W.
Stayed in hotel on business for 3 nights so went here for dinner and breakfast. Staff were really good. To be honest, food wasn't 100% perfect but the attitude of staff certainly made up for it. Although it was all paid for through my company, it was very reasonably priced
M. C.
The staff were excellent. The food was average and the building was a little cold.
C. C.

Loved it, the steak and pudding was amazing however quite a few flies around, would have been nice to be told that pepsi max was refillable when ordering drinks.
C. H.

Lots of things not on the menu, gave us a discount for the inconvenience.

Great service, warm and comfortable, usual microwaved food, rather stingy on chips. and coleslaw, salad so cold it hurt your teeth.
S. C.
Always good at Beefeater, cater very well for allergies. Good views here too. Go eat.

Me and my family went for breakfast every morning while we stayed at premier in. They had an amazing selection of continental and full english breakfast items. But sometimes the full english breakfast was a bit overcooked.

Standard Beefeater fare but served in a beautiful riverside location. Booking advised as they are running with reduced staff.

N. S.
Very nice food. Long wait but staff explained why. A little pricy.
C. S.
Yep it's fine to eat there especially if you have no way off vouchers. Bottom less chips and comes are a bonus (if you want to get fat) 😁
J. P.
Good food okay value for money make sure you take advantage of the unlimited chips or veggies make it worth it. Can be hit and miss thought
a. p.
The location is excellent by the river running between newport and east cowes. The beefeater's food and staff were very good and the hotel comfortable with everything you need.
C. B.
Couldn't say enough good things about the staff here, every single one of them are brilliant. Efficient, quick and friendly.

very friendly beautiful staff. good food and good prices. parking easy and free (refunded by restaurant). Family super friendly establishment
P.
Service was good. But the food was quite bland (We got the sharing platter)
B. P.
My partner and I had a good meal, but unfortunately there was no one at the desk to greet us, therefore we had a bit of a wait to be seated, although this is usual here, they were not very busy, but I think due to a shortage of staff we had quite a wait, this seems usual here also, but it's a nice restaurant with friendly staff and the food is usually good.
J. N.
Food and service good, reasonably priced.
m. c.
The food was lovely and the staff were fantastic. We both had steak and it was cooked perfectly. Thank you

Having been here a week earlier and enjoyed my meal thought I'd go back, there was an extra member of staff and less customers this time we seemed to wait a while for our food, although it was nice it was only luke warm not hot and they mixed up our orders but that was easily sorted, the staff were very friendly
M. F.
Not bad, we had a discount voucher and fed the family for around £30, including two mixed grills
