We were greeted by the smiling Christina who showed to our table. Very nice and chatty. We were served by the friendly Jack who took our complicated order which was delivered exactly as ordered. Great service.

Christina was really jolly,had a lot of heart into the job and seemed like she could do it for ages. Really quick service and was very polite.

Christina was an excellent waiter for such a difficult family when ordering and changing meals, will try and help and sort anything out?? she even remembered us from when we went a few months back.

The food was amazing and our server Steffi was fantastic. She made us feel so welcome and looked after, took photos for us and made the whole experience memorable. An asset to the team!!!!

We booked in advance for Boxing Day (6 people). When we arrived, we were told that they had run out of most of the food. We asked about vegan sausages (shown on their online menu) but they said that they never serve them. We understand that problems can arise due to suppliers and busy periods, but they could have rung us to save us travelling and then being left with no other options ?

Place has gone down hill alot the past year. Portions have shrunk, but prices have increased. Food was burnt on some meals. Don't recommend coming here anymore. On the plus side the service is very good and the people are friendly.

Went to the Acorn beefeater tonight, badly in need of more staff. Felt sorry for 3 lovely ladies trying to serve a very busy restaurant. Ordered Medium Sirloin steak, mushroom and fries . It was more medium rare but tasty, however the whole meal was warm and had obviously stood on the shelf for a while. Plate cold. Dessert was Sticky toffee pudding. Took ages to come and the only part of the dish that was still hot was the centre of the pudding, plate again cold as was the custard.You need to up your game, have been coming to you for years without a problem, but it needs to improve.

Came as a group of 4 friends, service was really slow every time asked for a drink took 20 minutes, the food was terrible all my group of friends didn?t like their food said was horrible tasteless. I had a chicken and ribs combo the chicken was like rubber and the ribs where really dry and tasteless, the deserts took half an hour to come and they messed that up but luckily they gave them for free which we appreciated, the waitress twice waked by me I said excuse me twice to ask for a drink but she ignored me she clearly heard me as soon as I said to to my friends well she?s not getting a tip she soon came over. What an awful place will not be returning anytime soon. And as for the toilets they in awful state they have a sign up state when they are cleaned and not any staff signed it so they clearly don?t get checked!!!

Wow. Tough to describe the roast dinner. The lamb meat itself wasn't bad but the vegetables managed to be both woefully undercooked (peas more like lentils, carrots tough but without any crunch) and rubbery. Yorkshire pudding was chewy. The gravy had as much flavour as a teaspoon of bisto stirred into a bath. I actually drank some from the little jug to taste it without the food and it had no flavour whatsoever. My elderly mother treated us to lunch and was struggling with the instructions on the card machine. The staff did not make much effort to help.

Stopped in for an all you can eat breakfast with work colleagues before we drove back to Manchester.We were greeted by a very helpful lady who politely explained the self service procedure and shown us where everything could be found.The cheerful cook had prepared some of the best breakfast foods we've had, and made us all feel like our mum was serving us breakfast she was that kind.The food was delicious and set us up for the long drive home.

Went for a family lunch and was torn with how many stars to give. It wasn?t a late lunch and it wasn?t that busy but there was only 1 person doing all the seating, orders, delivering food, clearing tables and doing the bills and she definitely needed some help. There was a lot missing from the menu including not having any burgers!! The food when it came was nice but the starters sat on the pass for over 5 minutes whilst the waitress was running around. I would return but would ask if everything is on the menu as we weren?t told that till we were ready to order by which time we had chosen items not available!!

I ordered the veggie burger, which came with fries and coleslaw, and I was really surprised by how small the portion was for the price. The burger was pretty small and there was only a handful of fries. It was nice enough, but not worth the amount being charged. They were also out of quite a few things on the menu, in spite of it being pretty quiet and the service was very slow. One of the waiting staff was lovely, but the others seemed like they'd rather be elsewhere, it was hard to get anyone's attention and it took about 20 minutes to pay the bill. All in all, a distinctly average experience for an above average price tag. I wouldn't go back.

I am a regular visitor to the beefeater and have been visiting since it's launch. The restaurant and menu have seen several changes since it's opening and despite this has always maintained a very good standard of well cooked dishes which represent good value for money especially if you make use of their money off vouchers. There is a varied food choice and their desert menu has recently been enhanced. I'm a big fan of the mixed grill. Sadly though I never seem to have made enough room for desert as the main courses are filling.
