What 1Natasha D 6 months ago on Google doesn't like about Beefeater Smugglers Haunt:
The food was quite bland. The chips were dry despite being triple-cooked, and the gammon steak was overly fatty, leaving most of it wasted. The peas were tough, and the egg was undercooked. The service started off pleasant, but after we received our meals, we didn't see anyone attend to us. We tried to get someone's attention but were overlooked multiple times. After sitting with our finished plates for a long time,... View all feedback. What A likes about Beefeater Smugglers Haunt:
This is a fantastic restaurant that consistently delivers great value for money. The staff is lovely, and while my steak was a bit fatty and tough on this visit, it won’t deter me from coming back. They also have a great reward card program! View all feedback.
