The Reubens

After a visit to the Polar Express we decided The Reuben’s looked like a good option for dinner. Oh how wrong we were, the food was dreadful, our children opted for the home made Pizza with chips and beans, they took one bite of the pizza and that was it. It didn’t look great and after trying it myself I couldn’t bring myself to force the children to eat anymore. My wife had the beef pie and that was poor with poor quality meat and the pastry was rock hard, the accompanying veg was also dry and some of the carrots were black. I had the Lamb Curry, the meat in it was tough and more like mutton and the curry itself was not very tasty at all. I decided to finish with a latte that tasted like hot water with frothy milk! Onto the service, not once were we asked how our meal was and given the waitress took every plate back to the kitchen with at least 50% of the food remaining on the plates, my first question would have been was everything okay with your meal. But nope the waitress did not enquire if everything was okay, my wife even said to the waitress that the kids food was inedible which the waitress did not acknowledge! The service was slow and the staff not very attentive focusing more on the locals in the bar. Whilst waiting to order we enquired as to what the soup was the waitress wasn’t sure and went off to find out never to return with the answer! I am not one to complain and have never left a review of anything previously but given our experience was so poor I felt compelled to write this review.

My husband and I stayed at the Reubens last week for the first time and were bowled over by the welcome and attentive staff, Charlie in the front hall was so kind and professional and the breakfast was amazing. We will definitely be back next time we visit London.

Very nice restaurant and bar in lovely location. My family and I very much liked our short visit to meet up with family and friends for food and drink. We enjoyed the atmosphere and would definitely return if in the area again. Plenty of free parking available as well.

We stayed one night and had dinner and breakfast and we couldn’t fault any of it, staff were friendly and welcoming, rooms were clean and comfortable and food was excellent, we would definitely book here again if we are travelling to the area

The buffet was excellent staff were brilliant, especially Jan (party organiser) Breakfast to die for.All the food was quality. Definitely recommend Rubens. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. All our party guests who stayed were very satisfied. Well done everyone, great weekend.

Oh my days what a lovely venue. Pub with rooms yes but so much more. From the early planning stages of our 20-strong party between Christmas and New Year to the actual event, professional staff couldn't do enough to ensure that the event went off brilliantly. The Christmas menu was fab and the food was amazing. It didn't faze them to say that they were catering for 20 people on mass. Front of house Jill on the night was in full support mode and ensured that we had everything we needed. The rooms at the Ruebens whilst basic are modern and clean, with everything you could want for a great night's sleep. Breakfast the following day was again a great success. Ruebens is situated fairly well in Leeming Bar easy to find and with a great car park. I would recommend this venue 100%
