The British Queen, Meldreth

The food was delicious as always, I have never been let down by this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and efficient, and the food was served hot and beautifully presented.

I have previously enjoyed delicious meals at this restaurant, but last night was a complete disaster. The pub was not overly busy, with only about 10 tables dining. Despite being seated and placing our order promptly, we waited and waited with no explanation for the delay. Other customers at a nearby table even questioned the long wait. It seems the chef was preoccupied with personal calls, causing a significant delay in our food being prepared. After waiting for an hour and a half for just two pizzas, I decided to speak to a man who appeared to be the manager. Unfortunately, he dismissed my concerns without addressing the issue, leaving us frustrated and hungry. The lack of attention and poor service we experienced was disappointing, and has made it unlikely for me to return in the future.

We spent a long weekend at this restaurant. The room was stylishly decorated and comfortable, although the curtains were a bit difficult to close and could use larger curtain rings. We enjoyed a delicious meal at the pub and would definitely recommend it.

Room no. 3 was spacious and nicely decorated. The bathroom is small, but adequate. It’s modern and there is a window that opens. The beds were good and it was comfortable. We stayed 3 nights. I have no complaints about the room. I do have issues with lack of management. Because some places provide housekeeping and some don’t, while we were having dinner, I asked in the pub. There was no “official” manager with whom to check in, greet, or ask a question, I was told there was housekeeping—beds made, trash emptied. After a long day we discovered there had been no tidying up. In the morning, the laundry person told me that they did not offer housekeeping. If I needed soap or towels I could have them. At breakfast day 2 we were told we had not completed our breakfast order. I replied we had not received a breakfast form for for day 1, day 2, (or day 3). Chef decided we didn’t need one. Cold breakfast was packaged Kellogg products. Hot breakfasts were cooked to order and well done. There was never fresh fruit. My most serious issue occurred at 9:30am on day 2 in the parking lot when some staff member took it upon themself to notify the manager that someone was loitering. I was standing inside the door to the pub while my partner was looking for a dear friend to pick us up. A woman with a dog showed up wanting information. It ended well enough, but in hindsight it was intimidating. Finally, while the room was clean, the grounds by the pub and the room were covered with cigarette butts. It is gross. Spiders have decorated all the light fixtures by room doors.

Popped in on Saturday to grab some lunch. Having eaten here many a time I was looking forward to a nice meal. Sadly our lunch was not meant to be. My friend ordered a ham and mustard sandwhich, the bread was dry and stale, and swimming in mustard. The chips were barely warm and tasted off. When I asked for Gluten Free option's I was told there weren't any the manager behind the bar was rude and dismissive. Sadly I won't be returning.
