Beefeater Stag & Rainbow

I don’t often go out for meals, especially with being a fussy eater, so when I do I like to go somewhere that does a variety of food, nothing too spicy or strange. At the beginning of October, Mike took me to the Stag and Rainbow for a meal. He chose this one because other pub restaurants are integrated with the pub and drinkers and diners are mixed. Luckily, the restaurant section at the Stag and Rainbow is completely separate and treated as thus. ...
...or non-smoking. The smoking section is mainly near to the toilets and the non-smoking is nearer to the entrance. We chose non-smoking and despite not reserving and it being a Friday night we were seated immediately at a 2 seat table. The lights are subtly dimmed within the restaurant so that it’s a more private and romantic atmosphere, but not so dark you can’t read the menu or see what you’re eating. Each table had a tea light candle in the middle, ...

Review of Beefeater Stag & Rainbow

This is somewhere I've visited on two or three occasions as it is very close to my parents home in Liverpool, but I believe that each visit has ended with us saying we won't go back there again. The last visit was a result of a relative telling us it had had a revamp and they'd really enjoyed their visit, so off we trotted early last Saturday evening, a party of five with high hopes of a pleasant meal. It was pretty busy when we got there with all ...
...the sunshine. It's a fairly big restaurant, completely non smoking, traditional decor - lots of wood and it seemed clean enough. We arrived at 6.30 which was the time we'd booked the table for, but it wasn't ready so we had to stand by the bar for a few minutes and try to order some drinks. It wasn't too long before we were shown to our table and our orders were taken. Once in our seats however, we were left to our own devices for an hour before ...

Review of Beefeater Stag & Rainbow

Had sunday dinner there - it was utterly disgusting. Frozen roasties, old wrinkley carrots. Think it has been prepared and sitting on the plate for a couple of hours before they warmed it up in the microwave, the lamb was hard and the gravy dried up. Would never eat there again. I will stick to the Toby carvery in the Queens down the road. ...

Review of Beefeater Stag & Rainbow

My Husband and and I have visited the Stag & Rainbow on a few occasions over the years as it is convenient to where we live. Each time we were very disappointed with the food the service and the overall shabbiness. We knew the Stag & Rainbow was being revamped so decided to give it one last try. We were pleasantly surprised with the decor, the food and the service. The only thing I have to add is having ordered the rack of pork ribs with barbecue ...

Review of Beefeater Stag & Rainbow

This travel lodge has the lot ,drunks fighting in the car park slow service, cold food. If this is typical of this groups service I for one will never use them again. The frontage is delapidated with the top of their sign missing and the sign telling you about their services lying on the grass at the front of the building. Inside there is peeling wallpaper in the dining room and a very nice set of bars on the bedroom windows. Great idea if there ...
