Reviews of Merry Monk Beefeater
P. J.
Fancy a steak at Beefeater so spoken to member of staff and order a t-bone steak then was asked how would I like my steak cooked .which I requested blue which was great good size t-bone for the price and was Cooked how I ordered the t-bone. Plus I will recommend to friends and family off the good standard 👍
J. D.
Amazing food here cooked perfectly great portions and our waitress was very very nice will return
E. V.
My missus order beef burger it was delicious what she said :), for my self I order steak sampler, it was perfect you getting everything to try in your plate.
M. C.
So we were at the Beefeater last night. As soon as we arrived we could see that the atmosphere was a little tense. Staff seemed a little stressed. We noticed that there was a lot of lads running about, making noise and doing whatever they liked. We were greeted by Emily who throughout the whole eve was lovely. Very nice waitress and trying hard. In fact, she never stopped working her butt off! I don’t know if because of a few big group bookings or not, maybe staff issues, but wasn’t the quickest service. However the attitude of some “parents” I say that as getting drunk while ya footy kids run around doing what they want, was awful. So rude to staff. Rude to the manager. Complained and complained and even when offered solutions, still complained. And also LIED about what was going on. Was it the best last night. No. But these are people trying there best and just doing their jobs. I didn’t catch the team involved, but someone colts maybe beginning with S. As I left at 22:10 a bunch of these kids are the side of the road shouting down cars while parents? Coaches? Who knows watch on and keep drinking. Your manager was very good trying to deal with it! Again, our food was good, service was slow. But, I will give 5 stars for effort of the staff dealing with horrible customers around them.
C. B.
overall service was good. The young women that served me and my friend was very polite and friendly, sian i think her name was. However the manager was beyond rude, Jo her name was, i made sure i got that! We had asked for the bill from the waitress and the manager then proceeded to make rude comments towards our table and hinder me and my friend paying, ultimately saying other customers were more important, ruined our lovely meal and overall experience of the beefeater! will not be returning
F. M.
We had breakfast there 3 times over the Bank Holiday weekend and I cannot thank the staff enough for the way they made us feel at home. From the manager Andy to the waitering staff, especially Jo. Thank you guys you have been fantastic and I hope to see you all very soon.
Ps: and the breakfast was brilliant too. Well done the chef. Cheers 🍷
R. W.
Average food but really bad service. Staff weren't helpful, we didn't get one of our meals until everyone else had finished, staff had no knowledge of products on offer and we had to ask for everything. For some reason they have us 10 menus for a table of six?
E.
Went for lunch yesterday as a treat. Food was lovely. Unlimited refillable triple cooked chips on offer but you don't need it. There is plenty on the plate without extras. Staff were friendly and seated us pretty much straight away. Cauliflower cheese was amazing! Steak was cooked lovely.
Edit Oct 2021.... so disappointed! Food was awful this time. Limited menu and half the items not available.
A. C.
Great place to go for a bite to eat. Jo, who has looked after us on two occasions now, is exceptional and is a credit to Beefeater. She alone makes it worth the visit but the food is great value and large portions.
S. P. C.
What can I say but had high hopes for the place and food ? Very nice staff but for what you pay ? Very small handful of chips with the steaks and then did'nt have the " prawn n lobster topping " Lucky we had forty per cent of vouchers or it would have cost a fortune , glad to say that things have now changed from are first visit ! A menu for daytime offers now and definitely improved now on everything
B. T.
Went here for breakfast, all I can say is 5* for quality, may be my new favourite eating place, definitely going again in the morning seen as tody carvery was shut
R. B.
Brilliantly situated within an industrial park of several hotels, restaurants and food venues with a local supermarket within reach. The sign for this one sticks out nice and clear from the roadside so easy to find.
This Beefeater, cutely named the merry monk is a medium sized venue with good access to individuals of varying needs as there are no steps and from the main pavement you can walk straight through. The only concern I would have is the doors are manual and heavy so wheelchair users / people using walking aids will need assistance.
We were greeted in a timely manner and I had contacted the host previous to warn of an adjustment to our arrival time as I had booked but there was traffic en route. This was no problem and we were then led to a clean well presented table, the host then informed us of our servers name and that she would be with us soon.
Our drinks order was taken quickly which was great as we were both quite thirsty! We ordered two thatchers haze cloudy ciders, which came with brilliantly clean glasses with a good measure of ice.
My partner had the fillet steak stack with salad and the other order was a fillet steak with salad. Food order was cooked perfectly, both medium rare and the salad was nice and fresh with a requested French dressing that was a tasty addition.
It did get quite busy and we had to wait for a salad top up as it was unlimited, but with a bit of patience (as both of us have worked in the food industry) we were served by an apologetic server - I assured her that given how busy things were a 10 min wait is no problem!!
Paying was easy and a quick process and we were left with a trip advisor card to fill out, which is always nice to know that they would like your feedback regardless of it being good or bad 😊
L. D.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch here on Easter Monday however the service etc wasn't great.
Firstly, we arrived at 1.30pm, it wasn't busy. There were probably 6 tables full.
The speed of the service was very slow. Took ages to get drinks and then took again ages for them to come around again to then ask for more drinks. They should get a refillable unit for the refill drinks. Especially if the waitresses are too busy talking about their weekend and checking their phone instead of looking after their tables.
I had a mixed grill. Although the steak on the plate was only a small steak, I asked for it to be cooked rare. It came out medium well.
The rest of the food was good but the bad service let the place down. The speed of the food coming out was very slow too
k. b.
Food good but slightly expensive, service was OK but a little slow, dessert apple and Blackberry crumble was a small portion!. We booked .but we're told they were fully booked but there were at least 40 places unoccupied from 6pm to 8pm why lie? Waitress was very polite but very young and inexperienced so didn't get timings 100% right but did her best. We were sat by the kitchen and impressed by the chef who was very calm and well organised but let down by the slowness of the waitresses
Overall 3/5
G. P.
This was my second and last time at a Beefeater. The service was slow and not just us but there were quite a few customers waiting for staff to assist them. Then one of the meals was forgotten in our group so he had his food ten minutes after we did. Also when I look across to what looked like the service and prep section there was rubbish on the floor just sweeped to the side and the units were dirty. On a plus when we did get our food and pudding it did taste good
S. W.
Stayed overnight at the adjacent Premier Inn. Had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant.
We were served by the best members of staff we've ever encountered at dinner, especially Emily who is a credit to the restaurant.
The food was very good, and the cocktails/mocktails went down a treat.
If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely pay a visit 👍
J. M.
I stay at Premier Inns a lot so know the Whitbread brands quite well!! Normally think they're not that good and expensive for what they are. However found this one to be a cut above. Nicely laid out inside apart from the usual questionable wall art (veggies beware!!), good food and friendly, efficient staff both in the evening and at breakfast.
If you're visiting for both dinner and breakfast and haven't already booked it online, ask for the meal deal at reception. Currently available at £24:99 and includes two courses and a drink in the evening and a full breakfast next morning (normally £8:99 in it's own).
S. C.
Lovely restaurant, good food & great service. There was 12 of us but the service was very good. Definitely would go back. 😁
G. H.
Have had a meal in here before and was amazing, just comeback from all you can eat breakfast was brilliant and the staff were great
A. C.
Fantastic meal.
Excellent value for money.
Brilliant service - friendly, helpful and polite
G. B.
Amazing service. Food was so nice and the staff here and great cannot fault a thing. Will definatly return
L. R.
Great food and impeccable service. Recomend it to every one. We were a family of 12 adults and 1 child
K. G.
Kerry Ann made the perfect poached eggs, thankyou.
All the team were friendly and helpful and ensured everything was OK and we had everything we needed.
Great Breakfast experience.
T. W.
Staff very polite. Food portions very small for the price. Cannot say I could recommend this place
s. m.
Fantastic meal. Enjoyed by everyone in the group. Friendly staff who where efficient. Certainly go again.
E. J.
We had a very yummy breakfast. The restaurant was clean and staff was great.
M. A.
Had a lovely meal with my parents always friendly and welcoming place. Leah our server was very friendly and polite and helpful and food and puddings were amazing and I just wanted to apologise for the rude old ladies on the table opposite manners cost nothing. Thank you so much for a great evening
D. P.
Massive thank you to all the staff. Very polite professional and accommodating. We stayed for 3 nights with breakfast and evening meals.
Breakfast was always nice and fresh with plenty there and refreshed as needed.
Also our evening meals were always nice and fresh and value for money. We never felt rushed and the staff would observe our table and attend when needed for drinks or the next course. This was so much of a refreshing change as we didn’t have to try to get somebody’s attention.
Big thank you to all the staff who went out there way to accommodate us late back for our evening meal due to our car breaking down and arriving at closing .
Myself and the family had the most fantastic time and thank you all.
We have eaten in many beefeaters in past but this has been our best by far.
Definitely recommend and looking forward to returning again very soon 👍
E. K.
Enjoyed lovely breakfast, food was fantastic and replenished rather quickly. Will definitely visit again.
N. L.
Nice place to eat , great menu
E. C.
Food was lovely, service good. It was a cooler day, both lots of entrance doors were open, we had a 5 month old baby with us, therefore we were cold and sat eating the meals with our coats on ! I think they could have offered us different seating, as there was empty tables and we would have still been within social distancing ! Most staff wore masks, but a couple didn't !
B. K.
Lovely food beautiful ambient no consistency when ordering same food depends who is working that's how you get served
P. B.
Disappointed with the standard of food it was ok but that's all you could say.Dont think we will be rushing back.
H. B.
Very polite, professional young lad (server). Evidently very good at his job and is obvious he enjoys it. Whatever he gets paid, should be more! 🤩 brilliant service and food!
L. J.
Food was really really late ~ 2hrs. Ordered a steak medium it came more than well done (charred) and had to send it back. But the staff were really apologetic and manager was super nice and removed the bill and got free drinks for the whole evening. But it's the first weekend out of lockdown I'm sure it'll get better.
E. S.
Food was delicious staff were very friendly
D. M.
Amazing service, low waiting times, always friendly staff, food is Impeccable. Love this place for date nights. Thank you all x
r. l.
Staff were friendly and attentive food was excellent.
G. F.
This was the perfect place for our family party of eight. The staff were fantastic from taking our booking and through the whole of the meal. The precautions used for social distancing were followed to the letter and we all felt secure. The food was excellent and there was a good choice of meals. We will definately return.
s. l.
Didnt have what I wanted on the menu and partners steak wasn't good. Following days breakfast was cold and although it should have been unlimited there was no one to serve. First serving was 1 slice of bacon 1 sausage and an undercooked poached egg for £8.95
J. K.
We were a group of veterans visiting the NMA.we arrived at the beefeater around 1pm. and started our weekend.the staff were very friendly.and accommodated our every need.some of the group didn't leave till mid evening. We continued again on the Saturday and the staff again were open armed and made us well come
D. B.
Food was fabulous as always. Only one member of staff waiting on serving drinks and clearing away. But she was still smiling and cheerful.
g. H.
As family we have been for Christmas dinner today. We had great service. Very good food. Thank you all for helping our Christmas day be a good day
M. L.
Food was mediocre . But we had amazing service from Ekua! She was welcoming, warming and professionally prevented.
Fantastic l!
P. H.
All good lovely breakfast and friendly helpful staff
G. S.
Lead staff are polite and engaging. Good value breakfast. Other meals are a little more than I expected but you get a good portion.
C. G.
Lovely meal. Very pleasant young lady who served us. Very patient.
S. T.
Very good service would recommend to go there
Food Very enjoyable.
Worth a visit.
l.
Another great breakfast at the Beefeater. Worth a visit
A. H.
Some of the best food you can find at a chain pub. The breakfast here used to be really good but has gone considerably downhill as of recently as all of the food is now help yourself and there's often things missing from the counter. Still pretty cheap breakfast and makes for a good breakfast in the mornings with family. The evening food is nice, and always tasty, much better quality than harvester. Occasional iffy service but this is more due to understaffing than because the waiters / waitresses are bad or rude. Lots of space, normally not too loud and nicely designed on the inside.
P. V.
After a disappointing previous visit we decided to give this restaurant another try. So glad we did as we had a delicious meal last night. Perfectly cooked steaks and very hot chips as well as very tasty desserts. Staff were very busy but very friendly. Will be going again.
A. M.
Booked 4 nights there and was good. It has an open kitchen so you can see the food being cooked. Menu is fine and the service is great but it can get crowded at times 🙂
a.
We only go here for breakfast, complicated story, but it's usually pretty good. Depending upon how busy they are breakfast can be cooked to order or from the buffet. The food is usually good and the service variable but decent overall. Disabled parking and access are fine too.
M. N.
Steaks were nice but they messed up the rarity of the order. Kids ate well too and with the beers good value I thought, first time eating at one . Will definitely look at returning to one more local in the future.
R. L.
Not generally into chain pubs but my son has an allergy and has always been well looked after here. On the most recent occasion he was anxious and they went above and beyond, introducing him to the chef and showing the ingredients. Really top service- thank you! (The food and beer were good too)
J. T.
Just to say thank you to the staff who came to my rescue as i was choking, they did a marvellous job. Staff were excellent the food was very good. Table service was excellent.
A. H.
Had a lovely meal on Saturday night with my husband great food wonderful staff. Our visit was slightly tarnished by a very rude member of the public tallking to a member of staff clearly making her uncomfortable in a threatning tone to the point I had to stop my husband intervening as we didn't no the full story this man was clearly a bully and the relief on the ladies face was obvious hope she is OK no and the man in question eats at home from now on in.
P. D.
Thought meals were expensive for what you get, chairs in need of refurbishment, service slow.
P.
Good service. Great choice off food. I had steak cooked to my preference. And bottemles chips . I maid sure I had plenty off chips. Recommend register for beefeater rewards. I got free birthday meal. Got 500 points so can now get free bottle of wine.. Very clean friendly place to go.
P. S.
I have not been to this place for two years and today I realised why. I was once again disappointed with the food. My burgers were good, but my partners chicken was dry, both our chips were flabby although they were hot. Another niggle is that despite being a lunch time and very few people in we were not deemed capable of deciding where to sit on our own. It is highly unlikely that we will be returning.
Z. B.
Just spent overnight here and had an amazing breakfast. All the staff were polite and friendly. In particular Kerry Anne the best fried eggs in a long time. Highly recommended.
J. R.
Not very clean. The staff is not very nice with everyone; except Rick a nice young man. Obviously they don't really like foreigners. I ate there for a week (Stay in Premier Inn for business reasons) I felt just as not really welcome. The food is not too bad, expensive but correct. Very good salmon, very good cheesecake... The breakfast is excellent. Pains au chocolat; croissants, toasts, juices,tea, coffee....plates and thermostats not clean that's a shame. It could be a very good restaurant but they need to improve cleanliness, organization and they should be more welcoming with everybody. I could see they were really friendly with most customers ...not all customers. Rick has been very nice and came to apologize.
This week the team was better. Better service. Food is not perfect but it was better with this team as well. Still need to improve cleanliness but at least the staff this week was nice.
T. P.
Good food made a mistake by forgetting the onion rings but very generously took them of the bill and gave them us to go as a apologie great staff
A. P.
Free parking. Lovely staff. Great food. Great new menu. Happy with the beer. WiFi. Opens early enough to work from laptop remotely. Not too busy to cause distraction. One bloody lovely female chef took the initiative to ask and remember my name. Several other members of staff are quick to greet and welcome every time I visit. I wish I could name the several staff members that make you feel so welcome and human. Will be back. One negative comment is that on some rare occasions (usually when service is changing from breakfast to standard service) there are times when you must wait a few mins to get served as the staff have numerous jobs e.g. tidying away breakfast service. The staff are a credit to the establishment. More flexibility on breakfast options/costs would be ideal but adjoining hotel might dictate the options. 10/10 for the staff who are always making themselves busy.
S. N.
I’m not keen on chain restaurants as the food is often generic and nothing special. But during my 10-day stay at the Premier Inn next door, I’ve been able to eat a very different meal each night from full-on steak to calamari to veggie feasts, and all perfectly cooked so hats off to the chef! Also the service here is amazing - I’d particularly like to mention Kyra and Ellie, who are friendly, efficient and just go that extra bit to make your meal even better. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone - been in Michelin-starred restaurants with less tasty food and stuffy staff!
D. u.
Very tasty food, pleasant service👍👍👍
M. S.
Very basic and stuff missing from the breakfast menu as advertised as available..
.ordered Scrabble egg but it never arrived..a disappointing first experience
D. W.
The staff who work here obviously enjoy their jobs. Received free peas and my friend had her steak cooked just the way she likes it. Lovely atmosphere, fast service and delicious food!
A. G.
Great service and friendly staff
P. E.
Bon accueil ! Personnel friendly and very sympatical! Nice food and good beers!
v. s.
Been for breakfast a few times usually really good, however this time asked for a cheese and mushroom omelette for the vegetarian in our group (as we usually do and is on the vegetarian menu) was told they don't do omelettes. I asked what was the vegetarian options the waitress then begrudgingly ordered us some vegatarian sausages. the coffee was barely warm and kept running out of smoothie but everything else ok.
C. P.
Staying nearby, needed food, thought we would try it . Glad we did, busy but 10 minute wait, served by Terri, couldn't ask for better service, she never stopped, but always around if needed. For her 11 out 10.
A. P.
Excellent food and very pleasant service.
R. B.
Fantastic staff doing a fantastic job keeping customers fed and watered! Social distancing measures in full swing, however public not always following them but then we did trust the public to be 'Alert!' Keep up the good work guys
C. B.
We popped in for a light bite for lunch. There are no light-bite options so had a starter...Delicious! Been on other occasions at night for a proper meal, never any complaints but some dishes seem a bit expensive for a chain restaurant.
H. O.
It was ok. Staff were friendly. Steak was good but rubbish peas... Tasted like the garden peas had come out of a can and been on boil since yesterday.
We found it quite expensive for what it was-luckily had a 40% off voucher. Wont bother again though
W. W.
Nice hot food . Service very good .
T. D.
Wonderful, hot and tasty breakfast! Served by the amazing Terri and her team, they really looked after us in this difficult time. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back!
J. M.
The steaks were flavourless, the chips and mushroom uncooked. Had a poor meal all round except for the smothered chicken dish. Janson, the waiter, made our visit pleasant however, he was fantastic at his job.
E. B.
Can highly recommend the mothers day menu here, the slow cooked beef was done to perfection, the portion sizes were just right and the desserts were hard to choose from they all looked great! Service was efficient and friendly even though they were very busy, really enjoyed the experience.
A. B.
Good food, friendly staff!
O. W.
Decent and consistent food quality which is on the more expensive side however it has a wide range of pub classics. Great service from the team who do Well manage the space - when asked always do their best to give a high quality dining experience.
J. R.
The waiter was very attentive and friendly. Steak was good perfectly. Chips were like little toast potatoes. My Dad’s roast potatoes were cooked in duck fat - amazing!
N. K.
Completely empty restaurant yet some tables full of plates and glasses while staff stood around talking. Cannot fault politeness of staff though.
A. P.
We discovered this Beefeater after several really poor experiences at Ladybridge, Tamworth. We travel from Tamworth to Burton and have so far not been disappointed with any meal, service or overall experience. Very friendly staff and Happy to recommend to anyone.
G. S.
Very, very nice gnosh. Bit pricey but the service we had was top class. The 'engine room' even cut up our mate's steak for him as he is disabled from a stroke and has the use of only one hand. We'll done everyone.
T. W.
Really tasty food at a very reasonable price. Staff were really friendly and happy to help with any request. Met for a quick bite with a friend and location is really convenient being a one minute drive to the A38
L. B.
Friendly staff, food tasted wonderful, only negative would be that the food wasn't the hottest.
Would return again!
T. B.
Popped in late and had the buffet breakfast. Great selection and good customer service. Venue was clean and even though I walked in minutes before they were due to close, they did not rush me with my breakfast.
O. C.
Great beefeater with great staff. The food was great here, we came here for a birthday and they were very accommodating and put out balloons and sprinkles, there was very fast service and the food came quick. We had a great time
S. S.
Has amazing space between tables hard working staff that look after every need, chiefs that cook your food perfectly always great quality food to. A Great place with gorgeous food 😁
A. W.
The beer is excellent, my steak is cooked to perfection. The restaurant became busy as I was being seated but the staff pulled together and the service remained excellent. 5 Stars!
R. S.
Always excellent service, made to feel welcome and they go the extra mile. Food is usually really good but if there is a problem they are very helpful and offer a resolution. Also... the best black forest gateau on the earth!
H. C.
Food was nice. Lamb rump was a bit overcooked but not too bad. Everything else was perfect. Prices are a little high for what we got. Staff were ecellent
J. W.
The service was First class, the meal was Brilliant, the Staff were a credit to Beefeater Merry monk. We will definitely be back again. Well done everyone 👍👍👍
E. E.
Great atmosphere staff are very welcoming especially our hostess Lizzy food was what you would expect from a chain
A. F.
First class breakfast all you want and more staff are lovely to

I. B.
Cooked breakfast was poorly cooked with cheap sausages. Good range of breakfast items though. Service was poor with loads of used plates simply left.
S. J.

R. F.
Very good food, excellent service from all staff, very attentive. Very clean and covid safe.
D. G.
Visited this place on Sunday, service was a bit slow, waited nearly 45mins. When the food arrived it was hot and very nice. Although slow I would still recommend this place.
c.
Loved the breakfast. Lots of choice to choose from. Would go there again any time. Amazing food. When ever your looking for a place to have breakfast go to the Beefeater.👍
M. B.
Not a bad Sunday roast.
Thanks
S. G.
Fabulous steak, as a coeliac great choice and good explanation of allergies
L. G.
Food and service was of a standard you would expect from a chain pub.
J. K.
Sirloin was much more chewy than I like, could have gotten better elsewhere at a cheaper cost. Mushroom starters were nice, as were the chips and drinks and the surf n turf was also decent.
A. C.
Staff friendly and speedy service. Food was decent given current delivery issues
a. w.
Had a very pleasant beer and bag of crisps sat outside the premises.
It all looked very nice inside.
C. e.
Was extremely happy with my visit today at the merry monk everything was perfect and how a restaurant should be. It was all down to my waiter joe he was absolutely fantastic made my visit an absolute pleasure, I will definitely be returning. 👍
S. H.
Service was friendly and good and the place was comfortable but the food could have been a lot better, which was a shame
I. T.
They were absolutely slammed tonight but dispite being 2 staff down I still received a fantastic steak & was able to substitute peas for my mushrooms, a fantastic hostess and good food good drinks a good place if you have good company around you,
H. B.
Excellent meal, but quite a long wait for the food. Pleasant young man waiting on, but called us 'guys' all the time! No piped muszac which was a blessing.
T. M.
Eventful visit......covered in a pint of lager but very apologetic and reduced the price of a very good meal. Served and presented well and nice and hot. Will visit again.😉
l. b.
The food was gorgeous. Portion sizes good. Service quick. Definitely not a two for one! Food too good for that
D. T.
I enjoy Beefeater restaurants although I try and avoid this one albeit being the closest to me, food rarely cooked or presented well in comparison to others in the chain. Never had a great experience here.
W. B.
