The Coldra Beefeater

Arrive early evening, being a Sunday it wasn’t particularly busy, server took our drinks order straight away but it took another 15 mins for them to arrive! The chicken dish I wanted was sold out so I quickly with the server looking directly at me chose another dish. Surly tho anything on the menu that was not available they should have told us as they handed us the menu on arrival, they are quick enough to ask about allergies!! Anyhow I just choose the same as my friend as it was easier -the chicken, ribs and the homemade chips all very nice,but the sauce was stone cold. Desserts, my friend ordered her favourite apple pie n ice cream, as you can see on the photos what turned up looked like a stew, the server was questioned her reply was it goes like that heated in the microwave because it’s gluten free. We never ordered GF mind, so the Apple stew was left on the table - to stew - lol. Price was £5.99 -so not cheap, but they did deduct this off our bill. I ordered my favourite Biscoff sundae, while it looked the bees knees the taste test said differently, the biscuit and cream on top was yummy but the rest wasn’t. It was just ice cream and biscuit broken up. No biscoff sauce!!! Sooo dry. Looking at it I thought Mmmmmm😋 but such a let down…… Hard ice cream and crumbled biscuit, I even lifted the chunk of ice cream to visit the bottom but hmph 😡 no sauce !! Such a disappointment so I left the majority of it. Not cheap either, at £6.99 a pop. Drinks -I asked for a refill with no ice, again this took 10 minutes to arrive- with ice 🤷‍♀️ Will we come back here? I’d say yes as it’s a nice place and very convenient for the icc wales venue, but next time ill be asking for what’s not available on the menu and ill make sure my biscoff sundae is smothered in biscoff sauce!!

Greeted and seated, we were asked if we had any allergies straight away and given the non gluten containing ingredients menu before sitting. Drinks order taken promptly, and orders taken about 5 mins later. Food arrived after about 15 mins, was hot and tasty, portions on the smaller side though. Some decent vegan options and a decent amount of gf options too. Kids 3 course meal for £6.99 a good bargain.
