I had one of the worst roast beef dinners at the Queen and Beaver last night. It was traditional in that it had roast beef and yorkshire pudding, veg and gravy but no one asked me how I wanted my beef cooked. it arrived rare which was fine with me and my companion, but they didn't even ask. In a good dining room where you're paying $26.00 a plate the server always asks how you would llike your beef cooked. The potatoes were waaay undercooked. Hard and difficult to eat. the whole meal was cold.
I ordered English Breakfast tea and received a very weak Earl Grey. Maybe they thought I wouldn't notice the difference. Even with sufficient steeping it was weak - they had too much water for one tea bag.
But the sticky pudding was awesome. Fantastic. They used black treacle and it was served with ice cream and was to die for.
The whole experience was very disappointing and expensive. I doubt I will ever set foot in the Queen and Beaver again and will not recommend it.
