    Have been coming here for years. Visited today for carvery, very disappointed. Prices are now ridiculous, 1 course, £11.95 adult, £9.95 child, Under 5s £4.95. Not impressed when we asked for a empty small plate just to put a few things off our plates onto 12month old grandson and were told "no, we don't give food for free"! Selection was minimal, roast potatoes were frozen ones from supermarket. No effort in the cooking, basic, unfortunately will not be going back.

    Been told about the Beachcomber a good few times but not a the chance to try it till now. Staff friendly polite and a good laugh,. Reasonably priced providing the attractions and beach makes the whole place go up so not bad pricing. The food well the southern fried chicken burger was amazing. Great place to stop for food and drink with a good atmosphere.

    Nice place, great for a pint and my son loves to play outside, just a shame that the only food on offer to buy was yet another carvery 😔 We had the carvery on our visit on Monday and it was ok. I've been many times over the years and the menu was a good variety of options. So was it carvery week? 😔

    Food was fair, expensive (£11 single burger/chips type or buffet selection) but average quality, pricing makes it average value at best, 3 separate mistakes on our order for 8, 1 taking 3 attempts to fix, atmosphere chatty and relaxed and plenty of seating, lots of staff on hand, live music in the lounge. Big area outside. Set expectations accordingly and it's fine but nothing special.

    Lovely place for a drink n bite to eat. Carvery not half bad on Thursday and Sunday. Got various entertainment on during the weekends in the separate hall. Decent outside seating areas

    Food was cold. Advised the waitress who could not have been less interested. No apology or report to senior member of staff, she then did not clear the rest of our table. Staff with long hair (not tied back) milling around behind the food counter. Never had an issue with this place before, unlikely to return.

    Have come here for quite a few years and first time of 2023. Must say it's not like it used to be. The team work hard and it appeals to most people but came away today £85 worse off and not as happy as previous visits. If you want a carvery and a few beers this place is fine but just something lacking this time round and can't put our finger on it.

  • 5/5 Michele G. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely friendly lots. The carvery is value for money and very popular. The entertainment at this huge venue is fantastic. The staff are all friendly and Will is talented and funny. Dance floor brilliant.

  • 4/5 john d. 11 months ago on Google
    This is one of my go-to places at the Momment, The entertainment is fair and the drinks are cheap my Bacardi and Coke is £3.20 and with free admission and the family atmosphere I enjoy the safety and the security do not let glasses on the large dance floor. The big big drawback is the lack of single women that I can find as dance partners but I can as I do manage to dance most of the night 9 to 12 by self when needed

  • 3/5 Lee A. 10 months ago on Google
    Friendly and pleasant. Overpriced though, medium Carvery costs over £10 and you only get 1 slice of meat.

  • 3/5 Rachel W. 6 months ago on Google
    Basic food place to get lunch. We had the carvery. My friends had the meat and I had the nut roast. The server was friendly and told me what I could and couldn’t have. We had a dog so sat outside on the astroturf. The food was bland but edible.

  • 5/5 Lesley W. 8 months ago on Google

    Lovely friendly place, children welcome and all the staff are friendly. Lovely little park for you get children which is enclosed so nice and safe. Fantastic carvery on a Sunday and Entertainment every night during peak periods.

  • 1/5 Andrew P. 7 months ago on Google
    Food is an absolute joke, not suitable for pigs. Dried food and self-service with people messing in it to find something decent to eat😩 Staff all looked miserable and not interested in their job. Will not be coming back , been there for the past 3 years .

  • 5/5 Andrea S. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place for a Pitstone by the beach. Family oriented with lots of seating. Nice covered outside area which is a good option considering the British weather. Simple menus with tasty food. Dogs can be kept outside under the all weather area and picnic benches. Serves food all day

  • 5/5 Sheryl C. 10 months ago on Google
    Came here a few times while on holiday in brean to staff were friendly, food was excellent and value for money great for families and very dog friendly ( they came out and gave all the dogs some trays of food for free. Can't comment on what it was like in evening as did not get the chance to stay out late . But they seemed to have lots of entertainment on throughout the year.

  • 5/5 michael b. 1 year ago on Google
    Here for 9 days and the beachcomber even in low season provides a good night out

  • 5/5 David W. 11 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, friendly approachable staff, good food and too much of it. There was bingo or a quiz to start the evening depending on which room is being used. Then, follows an evening of entertainment which will last until 10pm or 20.30pm, so your evening is full.

  • 5/5 Christine M. 10 months ago on Google
    We had food here most evenings during our stay. We are able to sit outside under the gazebo with our dog. The food is nice and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly.

  • 5/5 Emma S. 4 years ago on Google

    Club, pub and restaurant next to Warren Farm. Not sure if they're both attached or just feed off each others custom. Large bar. Good menu including Sunday lunch. Club to the side hosting various love acts throughout the year. Plenty of inside and outside seating and a small children's play area. Very welcoming and friendly staff.

    Have been to the beachcomber many times over the years. this year is different but it was still as good as ever, even without the entertainment. they have adapted well and still give great customer service, from the doorman to the waitering team, and good food. well done for weathering the storm. Thanks for a great evening.

  • 3/5 Dan 1 year ago on Google
    Can't say I enjoyed the last time we went here. The club cant help the groups of rough families that want to go in and watch the entertainment but there was absolutely no monitoring of anything by security or staff. kids were getting on stage and constantly messing with stuff to which the dj was clearly getting irritated but no parents could be seen at all - too busy getting drunk on their tables to care about their young children. Also various aisles and walkways were totally blocked by families with 2 or 3 pushchairs and bringing chairs from other tables. we are a family too but made sure we were considerate and made sure the aisles were free. to be honest it was a bit of a fire/means of escape hazard but NOTHING was done.

  • 5/5 Dean M. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it there. Meals we had was great. My wife had hunters chicken meal with all the trimmings and I had cottage pie meal. Value for money and a brilliant atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Ruth M. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't really get to experience the beachcomber properly, disappointed as seemed a popular place to go but was frustrated as wouldn't allow dogs in at all, I can understand not everyone wants to eat around dogs but they could have had a segregated area indoors, we had 10 month old puppy so could not leave it in caravan for fear of damages when alone, but had huge family & friends here so was forced to sit outside in the rain or go elsewhere, there was a large area that wasn't busy at all indoors think they could be a bit more lenient, only 1 'smoking' hut outdoors! Such ashame as could have been a great place to suit our large family

  • 4/5 Peter C. 1 year ago on Google
    We went on a Sunday, a carvery day. The food was good, with no delays. But this is a very busy place and it was a bit noisy. Not a place if you prefer a quiet meal! Good value for money and they have an excellent car park.
