The Southcote Beefeater

Last night we had a hearing dog (in training) . We were told as we entered that dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. We explained the situation and the new manager was really understanding. We sat and were seen to really quickly for drinks and were given a few minutes to choose our meals. Very well done . We found all the staff to be very attentive and professional. I , personally am coeliac. The manager explained the whole menu and also gave me other options. When meal was served it was pointed out . The manager personally came and asked how our meals were and had a chat for couple of minutes. Very good experience. Thankyou.

Visited for a family birthday, 8 of us in total, staff were very helpful and friendly, one of our party is gluten intolerant and when we asked for the specific gluten free menu it was provided within moments, everyone was very happy with the food, I had the lobster 1/4lb burger, I would highly recommend this, and will definitely be having it again. The only thing I don't like is the new bar layout, the issue is that one half of the bar is just a wall/door and a counter with a coffee machine, no optics or pumps therefore the other side of the bar is where all the pumps and optics are, now this is not a very large area and also has tables very close by so it is where most people stand to get service as it's the only are you are able to see what is on offer, resulting in a very busy cramped area which is not pleasant.
