Delicious. Can do a lot gluten free which is amazing and the burgers have ruined any other burger ever.
B
Food is delicious and very coeliac friendly. It's a shame that they always seem to be understaffed, we ended up getting our drinks from the bar ourselves as they had been sat waiting to so long. The only real negative is the toilets, which stink !

Beefy boys came highly recommended, so myself and my husband booked a table for as soon as possible. We were seated by a very dismissive/rude waitress and proceeded to browse the menu. As a coeliac, the first thing I noticed was that there were no gf labels on the menu, you had to check an ugly form online that was very confusing. While we waited to be served, we watched all the servers just stood around the bar chatting, ignoring customers. When we were finally served, we asked the waitress if any of the Christmas menu was gf and she said no. Turns out that most of the main menu isn’t, as the majority of the ingredients used (dirty mayo etc) have gluten in them, including all the milkshakes. We ordered and the burgers that were brought to us were tiny! Don’t know if it’s a coeliac thing, but I was seriously disappointed. The meat was well cooked but it had zero flavour, it’s like they’d never heard of seasoning. The burger bun fell apart and the fries were bland. If you want proper dirty fries, get the ones at Nando’s, they’re so much nicer. While we ate, my husband overheard the staff laughing at us for asking questions about what was coeliac friendly… unprofessional and wrong! The bill was brought over and it was £59… for a burger, fries and x2 drinks, plus they charged £4 for tips (£63 in total). It’s a burger with cheese, unless it has truffles grated on top or some other fancy concoction, it’s not worth that! Would I pay a tip for terrible service, obviously not. Whoever manages this place really needs to sort it out. Do I recommend beefy boys as a coeliac? No. They’re rude, dismissive, the foods tasteless and it doesn’t feel coeliac safe.
