I would most definitely not recommend this Brewer's Fayre for carvery as it has been none existent on 2 occassions. Both times it has sold out at 1pm despite being on from 12-6pm. Utterly pathetic. Who does the ordering???? Clearly nobody. We then had to wait 40 minutes for the normal menu food. I went to this one as it is better usually than the Whitehaven one....I shall not be going to any now.

It is what it is.. cheap & cheerful. The actual restraunt area is nice & clean. The food ok ! It doesnt knock your socks off but it isnt expensive at all. Staff were really nice & helpful. Drinks prices were very reasonable. We didnt eat from the carvery.. as it looked dryed out & pretty dire.

Over eleven pounds for a pizza which was a frozen super market pizza you would get for £1.00, should be on the kids menu, plus it was cold. Vegan burger and chips were not that great, cold chips. Won't go back to the Cockermouth branch.

Both of us had sirloin steak, 1medium 1 well done. I had medium which tasted 'not quite right' and 'off', I hardly ate it. My husbands was quite tough and difficult to cut, he left half of his. We didn't complain as there was quite a lot of loud laughing between some of the staff and felt it would fall on deaf ears. We have no complaints about our server. We were told when ordering that there was only 2 chefs on and meals may take longer than usual even though the restaurant was quiet. I will not recommend

Obviously short staffed but the person in charge was rude and was shouting at a customer. Have been here a number of times and have always been satisfied with food and service. However today was the last time I set foot in this restaurant. More training in customer care is sorely needed or the place will be deserted. Whitbread read and learn from this!

Booked for 18.15 and arrived to be told there would be over an hour's wait for food despite the restaurant being half empty. We weren't informed of this when booking. Incorrect menus were on the table. When the food arrived it wasn't warm and items were missing from the dishes. One meal didn't arrive and had to be asked for. Service at the bar was poor, the member of staff verging on rude. We won't be returning.

Having been to the restaurant before and the food was very good I decided to try the carvery, beef being my favourite, well talk about underdone, my knife wouldn't cut it and the fork wouldn't stick in it, spoilt the whole meal and two hours later I'm still chewing it. Worst carvery I've had for some time. P Hirst.

It wasn't busy but service was slow and the food was ok although the steak and ale pie wasnt great the pastry was rubbery like it had been cooked or reheated in a microwave. This was our second visit and it wasn't as good as the first but think that was more to do with the food than anything else. Be warned being by the premier inn the parking is hard to find and there is very little disabled parking.

I have been a couple of times in recent months and thoroughly enjoyed the mixed grill. Steak and eggs perfectly done. Service could do with a bit of work on. It seems depends on which staff you get as to the quality of service provided. Popped in on the 4th to try the Sunday dinner with a friend the lad that was carving very friendly seemed new not seen before but well mannered and smiled and carved a nice portion of your beef. Was a nice roast dinner and will go again on a Sunday.

It sucked! After we got a table, 15 minutes later we found out that we had to order both drinks and food at the bar. After we ordered we waited 50 minutes for our starter, but with background music... namely the restaurant's telephone that rang 53 times! The starter finally arrived, a big fried greasy mess with the fat coming straight out of your pores. We already indicated (reluctantly and since we had already paid at the bar) that they could start with the main course because that would probably be better... you guessed it, all this food was even dirtier than my dog's chunks in sauce. . Rob Geus and Gordon Ramsey would think something of this. A steak that is even harder than my crocs. Scandalous!

Very modern branch of Brewer's Fayre nextdoor to Premier Inn, Cockermouth. The food and service here were excellent. I would suggest avoiding this place at peak times if you don't want your ears screamed off as when we went there were a lot of kids present that were grizzling. But that was a Friday night, so you kind of expect that on busier evenings. They also offer Blue Light card holders a 25% discount on the food and drinks.

Had food at this restaurant, which is linked to the Premier Inn, the food is good but it is the way in which you order it, there are long queues I waited 40 mins to get a drink but didn't want too queue again so ordered food the same time without looking at the menu, it is not a relaxed atmosphere due too queueing, there are not enough staff working at the bar and some are not very knowledgeable about the till systems which adds too your wait. The staff are helpful and polite but need more of them .

Diabolical prices for poor food. Nice service from the children manning the place but possibly the worst dining experience from a chain in the UK and that’s saying something. I had low expectations from Brewers Fayre based on past experience but they have today failed to maintain the very low standard they have set themselves. The chairs and decor were nice though, maybe that’s where the money goes?

I'd give this 0 stars if I could. We turned up about 6.30 on what they called a busy Sunday, even tho the place was half empty, and was told that if we ordered food, there'd be a little wait. Not a problem. However, you don't expect the wait to turn into an hour, and, when the food arrived it was luke warm at best, so much so that I had to return my dish and get a new one. We then ordered desserts, and the jam Roly poly came out with cold custard. To us, the staff didn't seem to care. Whether it had been a long day and they were tired, or short staffed who knows, but I've been in hospitality and customer service nearly all my working life, and you always treat the customer as if they were the first person through the door, and the food should be the same quality throughout the day. Sorry to say that we won't be going back

Stopped off here after a run out, was lovely and clean and looked fairly new, we ordered food at 12:15 and did not receive it for 40 minutes, we had to ask where our food was, the excuse given was they where waiting for the eggs to be fried, when our meals came the plates where hot the food was just warm, I had a mixed grill with a really chewy steak and slimy top eggs, is it that hard to flick a bit of hot oil over the yoke?, my mother had a sirloin steak as it was her birthday a few days ago and this was her treat, it came bright pink in the middle and was more medium than well done, she managed to eat the majority but was not happy, we will definitely not be going there again

We popped in for lunch and were met at the door and told we could pick anywhere. We were a party of 8 and the lady told us the best tables to choose. We made our order at the bar and the lady there was very friendly and helpful with sorting suitable glasses for children and telling us about the hot drink refill options. When we came back to order desert, she remembered our table number too! Service was really good overall. Deserts were delayed but we were kept informed, and tbh it gave a chance for our big dinners to go down :p I personally found the food very nice, I had the Thai green curry with chicken. My childrens meals were filling and no complaints there either, both commented the pizza was yummy and nothing was left! I loved the refillable got drinks, what a great idea!

This is a real shame cos the staff are great, prices are reasonable and the food is nice but this location is dangerously understaffed. We had to queue a long time to be seated on a table we had already booked, no servers available to take our order so had to queue at the bar to place our food order which was a very long wait since there was only one bar person. When the food did come out, it was luke warm so it had to be reheated. I really felt sorry for the staff as they were working non-stop, there just was not enough of them to meet the demand. Management really needs to up the staffing levels. It's not fair on the staff they do have.

Time for a quick update following a visit on a Monday afternoon in June, Still worth the 5 stars. Friendy welcoming staff and great service from start to finish. Well cooked and well presented food. Great value! Called here for dinner on a Wednesday evening in May 2023. Food was all well cooked and well presented, on the whole service was good, although request for side plates for the sharing platter and some mayo to go with the mains were forgotten - but these things happen as it was getting busy and the waitress did apologise. Still great value for money. Called here for dinner on a Friday evening. Good food at reasonable prices. Feb 2023, Following a couple of further visits, things have most definitely improved to the point where I've given back its 5 stars. Friendy and helpful staff, good food and good service. Sometime in 2019....Now time for an update to my original review from around 12 months ago when I gave it 5*.

Then by the time we got to go out for our mains 6.05 Only turkey left - we don't eat turkey ! Veg was completely cold and over cooked We got offered gammon steak as compensation .. smallest ive ever seen anywhere. Cold plate so it was cold by the time I went for my even colder veg. Deserts ..christmas pud with brandy sauce looked like a school dinner Ice cream sundae fruit frozen solid I accept when you've gone in late in the day that you might well end up with veg thats sat there for a whilst ..but not when you've paid £54 per head.

Attended last night and can only describe the food as scrumptious 😋 I originally ordered the club sandwich but to my surprise the Director of Brewers Fayre Mr Daren Clive Lowry came to my table to inform me they had ran out but suggested I went for the smothered chicken burger “I will personally smother it with love and affection” he jokingly assured me, there was definitely some truth to that statement because it felt like love to the taste glands. The ball and chain (the wife lol) went for the Chicken Tikka special which she said felt like she had gone to India and back with every mouthful. Would 100% recommend to all!!!

Stayed at the Premier Inn adjacent to this pub and used it for meals. Firstly, have to say that the quality of the food was very good. However, so many things could be improved. To turn up at any restaurant and be told to take a table and order at the bar isn't really acceptable these days. Especially when there is only one person behind the bar who is taking food orders and drinks orders at the same till. Big queue on both nights we were there which lasted all night. Having waited in queue and ordered food and drinks we were happy enough to be served starters after about 20 minutes. However, we then had to wait around 45 minutes for main course to arrive. This was even more annoying when several tables who had arrived later than us were served their mains (including one table of around 10 customers. This was brought to the attention of the servers several times with no reaction. When food eventually arrived, the quality was very good to be fair, but having waited so long really spoiled the evening. To be fair, after complaining at the bar, one of the senior staff offered a refund of some of the cost which was gratefully received. However the overall experience was so disappointing that we would be very reluctant to eat here again.

Brewers Fayre presents a mixed bag of experiences that warrants a three-star rating. One of the significant drawbacks is the consistently cold temperature of the food. Unfortunately, this issue persists across various dishes, significantly impacting the overall enjoyment of the dining experience. Cold meals are a letdown, overshadowing potential positives and leaving diners with a less than satisfactory impression. Adding to the challenges is the slow pace at which plates are cleared from the table. Efficient table clearing is a basic expectation in any dining establishment, and the delayed service in this aspect detracts from the overall ambiance. A prompt clearing of dishes contributes to a more pleasant dining environment, and the lag in this regard at Brewers Fayre is a noticeable shortcoming. Despite an initial promise of speedy service, a notable hiccup occurred when the staff seemed to forget about our desserts. This lapse in attention to a crucial part of the meal is a significant flaw in the overall service. The anticipation built during the main course was deflated by this oversight, leaving a somewhat sour note at the end of the dining experience. Consistency in service is crucial, and this lapse was a noticeable deviation from the expected standard. On a positive note, the pricing at Brewers Fayre is notably affordable. For those seeking budget-friendly dining options, the cost may be the redeeming factor. When considering the price, the overall value for money becomes more forgiving. However, it's essential to balance the cost with the quality of the dining experience. While a lower price point is appreciated, it should not come at the expense of fundamental aspects such as food temperature, timely service, and attention to detail. In summary, Brewers Fayre provides a mixed experience that earns it a three-star rating that I think is "fayre" and balanced. The consistently cold food, slow plate clearing, and the dessert oversight detract significantly from what could have been an enjoyable dining experience. However, the affordability of the meals provides a silver lining, making it more forgivable for those on a tight budget. The three-star rating reflects a balance between reasonable pricing and notable service shortcomings. If Brewers Fayre can address the issues with food temperature and service consistency, it has the potential to enhance its standing in the competitive dining landscape.

The food was very good but the service was non existent need lots more staff. Felt really sorry for the youngster who was serving the meals as she was run off her feet. She earns 5 stars along with the one lady serving behind the bar.

Usual Brewers Fayre, friendly professional staff and fantastic views, can get busy at times so best to book a table.

The food took a while to arrive , which was only luke warm . I couldn't be bothered to send it back as it had been a long day at work . Sent my desert back as the custard was cold. Only eat here as I was stopping in the premier inn. Wouldn't come again . No Guinesss either .....

UPDATE - STILL THE SAME 😱 The coffee was luke warm. The exterior and interior needs painting. Very run down. Very slow to get served. One serving and making drinks and food and a very large queue.

Costa Coffee is missing the Coffee as everytime I ordered a latte, flat white or cappuccino, it's just like warm milk! Overrated and overpriced. I wonder; is anyone actually sampling these recipes before approving the quality? How can you sell a coffee that is so unbalanced, tasting like someone just rinsed a cup that had coffee in it? No healthy food options either, it's just the same old sandwiches high in fat and carbohydrates.

Amazing find! Ate here last night after staying in Rosthwaite and having limited options as we had not booked anywhere in advance. We were greater by really friendly staff, a cosy informal atmosphere and a great menu. I am usually a bit dubious about pub fish and chippy, usually preferring to go to an actual chippy, but WOW! They were amazing! We were both really impressed. Great portions after a day walking in Borrowdale and so so tasty. Good range of beers on tap too.
