Beefeater

Can you beat a beefeater? I think not. Great location and is always busy because its too good. Go try it after shopping at lakeside.

We came to the Lakeside shopping outlet because we were working close by that day and it was miserable and grim and grey and rainy. And then we saw the sign for the pub and thought it looked like a holy beacon, guiding us towards warm, comforting shelter and food.
Oh.
It sheltered us from the rain and we (eventually) had some food, but it was a bit grim and miserable indoors too.
There’s a Costa Coffee bit at the side of the bar, which looked like a nice idea but then I overheard a lady complaining that her latté was cold (I don’t think they used hot milk — fail).
And we waited a very long time for our nachos and prawn sandwich, which I reckon were stupidly overpriced anyway. The nachos were ‘to share’ and were £6.95 but I could well have eaten them on my own. There was nothing particularly share-​able about them.
