    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Reef&Beef, cocktails before we ordered which were made perfectly, we had mussels and pulled pork croquettes to start and for mains my partner had rump steak - rare which was cooked spot on, I had the crab linguine, it was fresh and tasty and so much of it that I had to take it home I couldn’t leave it for waste, unfortunately no room for dessert. The staff were attentive, they had great communication between themselves making sure they knew what stage each table were at, a few items were unavailable on the menu but they made sure that they had replacements meaning their menu wasn’t reduced. We will definitely be coming back.

    We had a 5 PM reservation, but they only gave us the lunch menu. When I asked about the dinner menu, they said it starts at 6 PM — but other guests got it just 10 minutes later. The waitress wasn’t helpful at all. Service was poor and the food was delayed. I ordered Sunday Lamb Roast and got Beef Roast instead — cold and not tasty. Definitely not coming back. And I absolutely do not recommend.

    We visited on the busy easter weekend so could be why is was so busy. Unfortunately, we waited 90 minutes for our starters and then a further hour for our main course. The food was lovely but I have had fillet steak many times and it was average. Service was lovely and they were friendly and very apologetic. The drinks were very good. Waiting staff were great despite the rush.
