We went with a group of 12 people for an informal breakfast meeting. It was my first time joining the group and my first time using a beefeater for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised by just how good my experience was. By chance we met a member of staff as we walked in who was friendly, and she pointed us in the right direction of the group members who were already there, and explained the procedure of the breakfast and where it all was Looking at was on offer, and there is a very good selection was delighted with the cost, not that I was actually paying myself. A staff member took our order and I chose the full English, which had the choice of veggie bacon and sausages eggs anyway you wanted, toast and coffee fruit juice you went and fetched yourself which is no real problem. I can honestly say I will return and have breakfast again and and would gladly pay for it😂.

Went to the beefeater on Friday for my birthday and absolutely loved it! The food was incredible (I had the festive steak on pastry WOW) and the service was even better. We had Charlotte, she was so so SO lovely, attentive and helpful. Such an asset to the team. The manager here (didn’t catch his name) was amazing and helpful too! Thank you all, will be back and bringing more family and friends next time!! 😆

Nice little cosy looking pub/restaurant on the A20 with a premiere inn next to it if you are looking for somewhere to stay in the area. We are local and have Come to the woolpack many times with no issues. Unfortunately on this visit there were issues. We ordered the steak surf and turf combi. Priced at £23.99 so fairly expensive. The service did seem to be slower than usual, but when we entered it did seem to be more busy than usual. When our mains came the first impressions were very disappointing. Portions were far from generous, presentation was of a low standard and calamari over cooked. It was far from the price that was being asked. There is a picture attached. I asked to speak to a manager. Laura arrived promptly. I simply asked if she would pay £23.99 for the meal served to me. Added to this we had waited around 35mins from starter to mains. She agreed that it was not up to their usual standard. She offered to have the meals re done. I appreciate that sometimes we do not get things right but how can you make it better when something goes wrong. Laura dealt with the situation very professionally and promptly and the whole team worked together to get it right. Although I put 3 stars for food the replacement was 5 but the portions were still a little low. I could not fault all their efforts, this experience would not deter me from coming back and I would still reccomend. Keep up the hard work and thank you.

I was served today by a young lady called Alex, who is very polite and hard-working. The service was impeccable. Alex showed maturity beyond her years, which is very impressive. Nice place, relaxed atmosphere with great customer service. The staff keep offering me a seat closer to their vacuum cleaner & I keep offering to do the cleaning instead of paying. Luckily, they appreciate my sense of humour.

Very nice layout inside and decor. Staff very friendly and great service. Good atmosphere. Had the roast sharer platter. Great value and £3.50 for refillable soft drink. Unfortunately the veg in the roast wasn’t great, hard boiled carrots, more stalks than broccoli. Roast potatoes were nice if a little dry. Peas felt boiled out of a bag. Gravy was very oily and lacked flavour. Chicken was amazing! As well as the cauliflower cheese is always lovely. We asked for beef Pink and it was very raw so will ask for it done more next time. Overall nice lunch but will stick to the other beefeaters.
