### 2/5 — Very complicated!

*2026-08-15, version 1.13.0*

The most frustrating and complicated app to set up! Sent me all around the houses, with logging me in and out. And sending me back and forth to my bank app!!
Sincerely hope the food is worth all the aggro 😎😜🤞

### 3/5 — Easy to use, but apple pay not working

*2026-08-10, version 1.13.0*

Easy to use, but apple pay not working otherwise 5 star

### 3/5 — Apple Pay doesn’t work

*2026-08-04, version 1.13.0*

Why offer Apple Pay when it doesn’t work.

### 4/5 — Good app but….

*2026-07-28, version 1.13.0*

Really needs Apple Pay to be enabled. Apart from this, really easy and beats the ques.

### 2/5 — No Apple Pay after offering it as a payment option?!

*2026-07-24, version 1.13.0*

Why? 😂

### 4/5 — You don’t b-serve this app

Works, but no longer works with apple pay for some reason.

### 3/5 — No

*2026-03-13, version 1.11.0*

Tried to do sharing platter found it very difficult to understand

### 1/5 — Unable to reset password

*2025-08-07, version 1.9.0*

Awful service, Butlins don’t help with inability and tried to given off to contact their provider.

### 1/5 — Remember when people used to greet you and take your order and look after you throughout

*2025-07-27, version 1.8.0*

Love the impersonal service of an app.

### 2/5 — Miss and hit

*2025-07-22, version 1.8.0*

App doesn’t always work which is frustrating when you want a drink during a show

### 2/5 — Difficult to modify food order

*2025-07-12, version 1.8.0*

App was easy enough to use but difficult to modify food order! Adding price on things that were included on the menu

### 1/5 — Still waiting as we speak.

*2025-06-30, version 1.8.0*

First of all, whatever happened to people actually doing jobs they’re hired for? Since when did everything get outsourced to useless apps no one wants? There are plenty of people desperate for a job so don’t tell me you can’t find the help. Been sitting here forever watching person after person getting served, realising mine is most likely not even on its way.

### 3/5 — B serve minehead

*2025-06-19, version 1.7.0*

Great app but freezes if I pay checking out as a guest

### 2/5 — App crashes

*2025-06-17, version 1.7.0*

The app crashed 3 times before I could order.

### 1/5 — Order as a guest

*2025-06-14, version 1.7.0*

Ordering was easy until it came to pay. It would not let you pay as a guest. I had to log out & create an account!! Why???

### 1/5 — No password reset

*2025-05-24, version 1.7.0*

Truly frustrating. Password expired. Password reset requested. Takes you back to the app. Completely doesn’t allow you to reset. Repeat. Two years of this.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother!

*2025-05-23, version 1.7.0*

Forgot my login details. Every time I hit forgot password it send a a link which loops back round to the login page!
No help page. No support contact. No help chat bot. No just a useless app on my phone

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Offers Apple Pay and then tells you that Apple Pay isn’t available?!

*2026-07-29, version 1.13.0*

Takes way too long to order, offered Apple Pay as a payment method but then said it wasn’t available, then the app froze and I had to do it all over again

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-24, version 1.13.0*

Took over 30 minutes to get working no proper instructions. Worked last year and randomly stopped working tried alsorts staff not trained on app and unable to help!

### 1/5 — B serve app

*2026-07-23, version 1.13.0*

Absolute rubbish

### 1/5 — Payment problems

*2026-07-20, version 1.13.0*

Unable to use Apple Pay

### 1/5 — Takes to long

*2026-07-20, version 1.13.0*

Can’t use Apple Pay so takes ages

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-18, version 1.12.0*

Was sat at table 377 and app only goes up to 372. That was only after the app actually started working

### 1/5 — Very slow

*2026-04-01, version 1.12.0*

Took over 45 minutes for drinks to come. Bar was quiet but we thought we’d try Bserve as it was encouraged by the DJ. Could have got it ourselves so much quicker.. children complaining about being thirsty.

### 1/5 — Price

*2025-12-29, version 1.11.0*

Premium price food and an app to order… no personal touch or making the magic happen for the kids, service is so important, I know why you have done it, looks like your up with technology but actually a huge cost saving maximising profit for you.

### 1/5 — No table numbers for app

*2025-12-02, version 1.11.0*

I’d rate five for the app but the fact there’s no table numbers and I now probably won’t have my drinks is just rubbish

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-08-25, version 1.9.0*

Just rubbish
