The Beaufort Arms

We came in yesterday for dinner and were very pleased with our experience. Our food was excellent. the girl on the bar was nice. A young girl named Josie came over and introduced herself after she saw we were all seated and let us know that she would be looking after us for the night. It was abundantly clear that she was extremely busy but she went above and beyond to make sure we were all happy. In all honesty after we left she was the main topic of our conversation she was an absolute angel and made our experience that much better. As we were leaving someone mentioned to her that they recently moved to the area she gave lots of recommendations as she’s a local herself, all of this is truly what set her apart for us. We will definitely be coming back. Huge thank you to the Beaufort Arms and to Josie we will be seeing you soon!

I've mixed feelings about this pub what with our recent experience a few weeks ago. We"ve been here twice around lunchtime/early to mid-afternoon, both on a weekend. Plus points: Very convenient as it's a few minutes walk from the train station. Cozy and warm. Varied menu selection. Clean toilets. Not so good points: The first time we went here, it was close to 11 a.m. (we checked and they open at 10 a.m. on weekends) and we wanted to get some light bites but the staff said they were not serving any food yet. So we settled for just coffee. OK, fair enough, and it was a nice place to be in on a rainy day. The second time we came here was for lunch (and it was around 1:30 to 2 p.m.), and we waited almost an hour for our food to arrive. My husband and I ordered drinks, which arrived early. We thought the food would soon follow so we waited, as there was quite a crowd. We really thought they had a staff shortage so we opted to be patient at the 30-minute mark. After waiting for 45 minutes, my husband went to the bar to follow up and they said they were preparing it and the staff apologised for not informing us. We ordered via QR code but no one informed us of the waiting time. By this time, the crowd had thinned out. When the food arrived, the ale pie crust was too hard (like it was 'in the oven too long' type of hardness) although the filling was good. I ordered Fisherman's Catch but it's the saddest looking dish I've ever seen (the peas were dry and the chips looked and tasted like it was reheated). We were too hungry by that time to care and complain and we just wanted to finish and leave. Hope the management would improve these issues because it really leaves a bad impression on customers.

It's a very lovely pub, with real log fires very warm and welcoming. The staff was very helpful and friendly, who welcomed us with smiles. I would recommend it to anyone. We didn't eat so I couldn't score it, but what I seen coming out looked very good.

Lovely place to be from food to beer, service is always with a smile and the atmosphere is how you make it, great menu and plenty of free parking all day long. And with staff like Connie you know you’re in good hands. 100% good place to be !!

I ordered sautéed potatoes as said on the menu. However, they served me boiled potatoes as shown on the picture. I told them this is not what I ordered. They said they always do boiled potatoes and they don’t know about the menu?!?!?! . They didn’t give me any solutions until I asked. They didn’t seem sorry. I took my dish to them after my partner talked to them. They said: so you want sautéed potatoes? I said yes. Then they took my dish and sautéed the original potatoes on my dish and gave them back to me. They broke my fish too when they tried to take the potatoes. Oh they lied as well they said they don’t do sautéed potatoes. They said what they do is boil them then sautéed them. However, as you can see from the picture, there is no sign of sautéed!!!!

Went into the Beaufort the other day and was greeted by Connie with great attitude. She served my drinks and took my order. Food was out really quickly took about 10 minutes. Food was really good. Food was cooked by chef Joe. All in all was a brilliant couple of hours.

Took my Dad there, he tells everyone it’s the best mixed grill he’s ever had and he’s a bit of a pub mixed grill connoisseur. Lovely pub, friendly staff. Cheers

I stopped here for dinner while I was waiting for a train from Bristol, and I was pleased with the service and quality of food. It’s a very normal chain-style pub, and I was surprised there was no chicken on the set Sunday roast menu, but not a problem. I ordered the ‘duo of roast’ - beef, turkey, pigs in blankets, veg, potatoes, and stuffing. It was spot on, and the gravy was flavourful and rich. Just minutes after I ordered, via the website so I didn’t have to leave my bags, my drink arrived to my table, and I only had to wait 5-10 minutes for the meal, not long at all! Once I finished, I decided to get dessert as I had time (given the fast service), and it arrived just as quickly. I will say, I ordered the brownie & ice cream for dessert as it was small, but it was advertised as coming with a tea or coffee - however there was no way of choosing tea or coffee on the website, and it arrived in under 10 mins, without a hot drink, and the waiter didn’t ask. It wasn’t worth the full £4.99 without the drink, but I had a train to catch so didn’t have time to push for it. The staff did their jobs well, nothing out of the ordinary, they were mostly teenagers made to work on a bank holiday Sunday, so it’s probably to be expected. It was still good service, a nice place, which I definitely recommend visiting.

This Harvester style pub is probably a fairly decent local to folks in the area, but as a brief visitor it wasn't overtly special. It's often been said that folks up north have a warmer welcome, and being Bristolian/Gloucesterfarian I would like to defend the area since it's from whence I hail. However, since living in Yorkshire for just about a decade, I have to say I notice the difference. Get yourself all the way up to Scotland, and the difference is even more apparent. So, my Dad and I popped in here for a swift half, and as he nipped to the loo I stood to order our drinks at the bar. A few were being served, so I waited, only to have a local take priority of place over me. Of course, I'm not so rushed that this was a huge issue, but being ex-bar staff, I'd make it a priority to serve folks in the order they arrive at the bar... Irksome. The lay out is rather open, with a few booth style areas, should you wish to sup somewhere a little more personal. The bar serves up some standards; Guinness, various spirits and lagers are available on tap. They've a Cask Ale seal, so there's some beers on hand, although I didn't have a chance to check them out. Basically, it'll certainly do if you need a pint when in the area. And given I'm to understand there's but one other pub in the vicinity, it'll have to do!

It was OK, nothing special. There's a nice outside area for those warm days/nights. However, I was there on Boxing Day and the three of us had the Boxing Day menu. Maybe it was because it was late and perhaps we were the last ones to have that particular menu, but I wasn't impressed with the quality of the food. The quantity was very good, but it just seemed that the vegetables had been overcooked. The service was average. The drinks were average priced. I'd describe the whole experience as just about adequate. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. But it's decent enough for an average visit. Overall, I didn't consider the Xmas menu good value. On the plus side, the business is only about 10 minutes walk from Bristol Parkway train station, if you're into that sort of thing.
