Shockingly bad food. I ordered salad. The menu promised avocado, peppers, sweetcorn... I got none of that, just a pile of lettuce, I had to hunt for a very few measley pieces of cucumber and tomato. Nothing else. And the vinaigrette never arrived.Plus, the restaurant was freezing and the food took over an hour to arrive.

Had a great lunch at the Coombe Lodge Beefeater of Calamari followed by the Salmon main & a Prawn skewers main washed down with water, Rioja wine and a salted caramel expresso Martini!!Service was great, the lady (sorry forgotten her name!) recognised us and enquired how my elderly mum was as she wasn?t there this time. Disappointed my brother couldn?t come down to celebrate his 60th with us but the experience we received today made it a great afternoon still, just me and my husband. We didn?t avail of it this time but is nice that they also offer the great value 2 or 3 course lunch menu and a loyalty reward scheme.

Save your money and get a happy meal ! The portion sizes are ridiculous! Harvester is borderline but least you get a free salad total waist of money as we were still starving after, is a very pretty place until you need the toilet then the little food you got for quite a high price wants to come back up again not good :(

This was our first time of going out for Christmas dinner and we were so disappointed.Our table was not ready so had to wait in the bar and could not order a drink as the bar was not taking orders.We had to wait 40 minutes before our table was ready. No one came with the menu, I had to go and ask. We ordered our drinks, then a waitress came to take our food order. We asked for the table to be cleaned again as it was dirty, the table never got cleaned.Our starters arrived but we were still waiting for our drinks and we had to go and ask again.Two of the starters were inedible.The mains arrived but were not hot. The potatoes and carrots were burnt.Desserts were ok but could have been better

My first Xmas dinner of the season wasn?t too much of a disappointment except for the unbelievable wait time. Booked the table for 6.30, didn?t get the mains until about 9.00pm. No complaints about the taste on the platter though. The staff were very hard to get annoyed with as they were very bubbly and hardworking considering the buzzing diners that evening. Let?s just believe it was a one off ?short staffed? day.Vegetarian options: The X-mas menu Halloumi burger was delicious. It had fillings, sauces and served warm. Perfect portion to fill an evening belly.Dietary restrictions: They are understanding enough to adapt menu if its possible.

Great place for a family or larger event. Very nice staff and very clean. Right next door to Premier Inn if you want to stay over. Far enough out of town to not be too noisy, but easily accessed and good parking. Lots of disabled parking too.Parking: Lots of spaces and disabled parking was very good

On making my booking I requested a quiet corner. We were in a room with lots of big tables . Not very quiet at all. In fact very noisy.Food was edible , menu very limited.We were asked to leave the restaurant to go into the bar and bill bought to us at about 10.15 without asking. Then once in the bar area , told every 10 mins they were closing.Not a great dining experience.

We were a large group, 15, but was surprised at the slow, but friendly service. 25 min wait for the drinks to arrive..? By the time we got to desert it was close to 10pm. Food however was really lovely! 5 stars for that.

Omg. AWFUL! Food was appalling. Over cooked prawns, over cooked burgers. Undercooked butternut squash in the veg lasagne. Toilets were a disgrace! No soap in the dispenser, no working hand dryer and I won?t even say what state the toilets were in. Discount for registered customers is only applicable to main dishes and not on any set menu or kids menu options. Slow and inconsiderate service from waiting staff. Doesn?t even deserve a single star review rating.

Food was really good and excellent value. Service was a little slow but looked a bit busy.

Food is OK, steaks are cooked over so ask for one or two less than what you actually want, but they taste alright. Service is impeccable and the stagf are always so lovely.Very pretty building but the toilets are so damp there is water condensing on the cisterns.

This Beefeater at Coombe Road is top-notched for food, service and ambience.The interior is beautiful, like it was an established hotel before. I shall check that up because it looks interesting.Apart from this, we chose the Christmas menu. My husband had a 3-course meal starting with a cheese fondue, a medium-rare red wine sirloin steak which was done to perfection, and a mint After-Eight sundae for dessert. But, if you do not like fat on your steak, then opt for the fillet instead and pay £5 extra (if I'm not mistaken). I had the 2-course meal with a prawn & raw salmon cocktail for starters, followed by salmon served with seafood sauce for mains. The prawn cocktail was very fresh with such a good portion of prawns - it seemed bottomless! As for the main course, the salmon was properly done, and not overcooked. Most importantly, the food were served promptly, and so, we got to enjoy a lovely, hot meal on a cold autumn evening.All courses were superb.Most of all, we had excellent and courteous service from Danijela. She was pleasant, cool and calm despite being very busy, and always checked in on all her guests to make sure they were all right.I would highly recommend the Christmas menu at Beefeater, Coome Road, Croydon - only because the chef here (working on Monday night, 12th Nov) is top-class. I can't say the same for other Beefeater outlets as their food quality and service can be a hit and miss at times.

I have to say that we have been dining at Coombe Lodge for many years and i can honestly say that every time we attend, it feels like the whole place is in decline, this seems across the board, even at our local Grange Spa venue near Crystal Palace.When i made the booking online, i asked for a conservatory table, wasn't even considered. In general, the menu has shrunk to such an extent that on the last 2 occasions we've eaten there, it's nothing more than an expensive Burger Joint. The deserts look and taste like they come straight out of a packet. The only thing i would say is that the Lady that served us Last night was polite and courteous other than that, i don't think £73 spent between 3 people represents value for money. If you're thinking of dinning out in the area there are now plenty of smaller, more independent venues that offer far better food.
