About This Pub
Ah, the Halfway House Beefeater – it's one of those places that feels like a reliable old mate when you're out for a meal in Dunstable. From what I've gathered, the food really shines with their daytime deals, like grabbing eight mains for under £8 from Monday to Friday, and specials that make it easy on the wallet without skimping on flavour. The staff are just lovely, always up for a chat and quick to sort out any needs, which adds that warm touch to your visit. It's got a nice, homely vibe too, especially during the festive season, where it turns into a cosy nook for a good natter. On the flip side, it's not perfect – there was that one instance where the food didn't live up to expectations, coming out all overdone and leaving a bad taste, so it pays to keep your fingers crossed on busier days. And while the location's handy, parking can be a bit of a puzzle at times. All in all, with a solid 4 out of 5 rating, it's worth popping in for some feel-good eats, but go in with realistic hopes and you'll likely have a top-notch time.

Popped in while travelling in the area, was a bit confused with the parking directions but managed to finally sort it out. There is also a budget hotel opposite. Had a lovely waitress serving us and took in the allergy information the group gave her. Food was really good and arrived in a timely fashion.
The kids also loved their meal and did not have to convince them too hard to eat fruit. Seating area could have been better as the booths , were the tight side and not as easy for people to move around as needed.
Unfortunately our visit this time to this establishment was not a good one due to the food we were served. The food was not something I would choose to eat let alone pay for, the lady was understanding although she did try to say we asked for well done but the whole plate was well done not just the steak which as you can see looked terrible. The other meals were edible but unfortunately we will not be spending money here again.
Had a delicious Valentine's Day meal with my partner. Great offer £18.99 for 2 courses! Very nice waitress Sita. :-)
Great food. Lovely staffs . Good Ambience. Usual stay at Premier Inn attached to Beefeater so my breakfast is from here. They serve quality breakfast and have a lot of options .
I had a really good time with my friend. We get a salad and some very delicious brownie with coffee.
The restaurant is cosy and nice during the Christmas time.
Also one of the staff Sarah was so lovely and very helpful.
We really enjoyed our time here and really recommend.
