Brewers Fayre Minehead in West Somerset

Had a Sunday carvery at the end of my daughters hen weekend. The food was great and the service outstanding. The manager couldn't have done more to accommodate us. It really was the best was to finish the weekend. Thank you so much, will definitely be in again when next in the area.

Our Football team use Brewers Fayre each matchday to meet up to enjoy breakfast and a coffee. The food is excellent and all our players enjoy the Sunday mornings to meet up, its a great preparation for the game. Thank you to all the staff at Brewers Fayre for making us so welcome.

Very good food and service and atmosphere today at brewers fayre in Minehead.

Great food and very reasonable . Clean and tidy and very pleasant staff

Had a lovely meal here with my family 2AD and 2CH, food was lovely and as you would expect from a Brewers Fayre and I wouldn't normally write a review but Georgina gave us some really good customer service. We felt very welcomed and she was attentive, polite and a hard worker! Thank you Georgina for your lovely attitude!

Had breakfast, great food and service

Went here on a adults Butlins Weekender, nice relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and nice food. Georgina went above and beyond for us while we was there. Thanks Georgia. See you next year

The breakfast buffet was excellent, the food looked really fresh and tasted great. The value for money was really good and the staff were very efficient.

Excellent service , amazing breakfast. Staff kind, helpful Clean,well managed so thank you to you all at Minehead Brewers fayre 😍

Great breakfast lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. What more could you want!

Arrived roughly 2pm Sunday. Only carvery available which is fine. 2 adults, 2 kids carvery and 4 drinks came to over £50, the food was awful. Roast potatoes were pale Beef severely overcooked, shrivelled and dry. Mostly mashed potatoes and undercooked veg for sides. No gravy or sauces left, this had to be prompted to be refilled, considering it was only roughly half capacity it was awful. Should of gone to McDonald’s 🤯

Went for breakfast after visiting Butlins but was late, never mind we'll have something off the normal menu..... unfortunately they don't serve any food between finishing the breakfast session at 1030 and starting the lunch time session. Almost cried Ended up in McDonald's 😕

Met up with friends great so we could get a variety of food & drinks

Booked a table for 7pm Stood at the main door waiting for somebody to seat us for a good 5mins the place was not busy less than half full. Got seated ordered and ordered food (mixed grill with steak upgrade 8oz and lasagne with side of chips) after paying i was told 30 minuite wait as they are really busy! I looked around and thought it was half empty. Food took nearly 45mins when the food came the chips were stone cold i asked for fresh the lady brought out another bowl obviously from the same batch still cold took a bite from my medium steak cold like it came out the fridge, wifes lasagne was black at the bottom and tasted burnt (cooked in the microwave) we decided not to stay and asked for refund, not been to a brewers fayre for years and we was on our holidays. It was shockingly bad. The deputy manager was polite and apologetic and said they were short staffed.

Lovely warm welcome great food and amazing staff would highly recommend

Come here every every other weekend for breakfast with 2yr old, great selection of hot and cold and bonus that kids eat free with paying adult (believe this to be 2 children per adult, not 100% if still the case but know it was as use to take the older two and was told at the time this was the case) the manager himself and his staff are very welcoming, eager to help and from my experience willing to go that extra mile to make each visit a pleasure and also very keen to take any feedback to mostly positive but also negative from what iv seen to improve the restaurant long term. Keep up the good work to all and look forward to our next visit👍

Great food, wonderful service. Lovely experience

Lovely place great service. Lovely food all round 100%

Brewers fayre is just outside Minehead town and what a lovely pub and restaurant very friendly staff and the food is amazing and plenty of choices to choose from the menu, we went there twice this week and very inexpensive prices.

Enjoyed my stay, clean and tidy. Food next door was great

Top notch breakfast supplied by the most enthusiastic and professional bar staff.

Breakfast was really good. Staff a bit mental but loved the mount gay.

Always good in here hence it's usually busy. Food is good and a good selection of drinks.

Best breakfast by far, always consistent

For me the food meat portion was small. The veg was very limited with the only green veg being peas. The Swede and mashed carrots tasted odd.

Great Food, Great service, Great Staff

Great place, lovely staff special thanks to Helen, Jess Charlotte, and Georgia For looking after us, then we visit

Great breakfast, as always. Gluten free well catered for including gluten-free toast brought out separately and knowledgeable staff on allergies. Hot food and good selection.

I've been here a few times on a business trip and the experience has always been great. The staff are amazing I want to give a big shout out to Helen, Chloe, Morgan and Caitlin the service is always execeptional and attentive. The big stack beef burger was lovely breakfast just need chicken sausages. But a lovely selection of food. Would recommend.

Staff were very polite and attentive, food was lovely really enjoyed going back again. Thank you All Staff 😊

Nice place to eat food was not too bad either.

Fantastic place! Thanks for having us! Baglan Bombshells x

If you come to this area, there seem to be few places to eat. We stayed in Doniford 3 Sept for a few days and this was the only place along the A39 that was open. That said, food and prices very good.

Great food me and wife and daughter and grandchildren and friendly staff

Excellent service from Caitlin. However, beware! Kids meal deal only allowed if ordered at one time. If your child has 2 courses then decides they want a pudding, you pay full price, as I was rudely told by the abrupt manager. He needs people skill training!!!

Great food at reasonable prices and great service too.

Booked in for a Carvery at 1630hrs. Got there at 1625hrs and was told that the carvery had no meat left!!!! So I went for the pizza option, haven't got any!! Then I ordered a lasagne which was absolutely crap. This took over 60 mins to arrive. The whole place was run down, fabric missing from the furniture. Will never go back there

We went here for breakfast..it was really busy. Not enough staff so had to wait for most things. Tables weren't being cleared. Food was not being restocked very quickly. The staff were friendly unfortunately they were run of their feet. Get more staff. Look after the staff you already have.

Went for breakfast, it's buffet style rather than table ordering. The food was lukewarm, rubbery and most of it looked very unappealing. Didnt have any bacon because it was so pale and watery. Sausages had unpleasant chewy skins.

We waited half an hour with no sign of our food. At that point we enquired if it would be much longer, and were told that no-ones orders had made it through to the kitchen. There was no apology for the error. If we hadn't asked we would have been left waiting. The manager wrote down our order, which was then another half an hour. There were very few people in the restaurant and everyone seemed to be having the same problem. Not good enough.

We book a table at 4.30 for a Sunday roast as it was on intill 6.00 just to get there to say it had finished you should not say it is intill 6.00 I whated to go but stayed and had the mixed grill and beef pie sorry but it was not nice wish left now and we was not the only people not happy as someone said to us as we was walking out

I had a lovely pizza with the toppings of chicken, pepperoni and ham 😋😋

Your standard Brewers Fayre. We used a 2 for 1 voucher code on our main meals which made it good value for money. My only criticism would be the portion size of chips that came with the meals, not many at all. The lasagne came with none, just garlic bread. I'm also sure you used to get a couple of onion rings with the big burger meals but not any more. That's shrinkflation for you.

Went today for a fairly regular trip for breakfasts - we had 5 kids with us so can’t be beaten on value. Really friendly greeting from Philip the manager and showed us to our seats and explained where everything could be found. The buffet breakfast with full English was perfect today … lots of choice including scrambled egg and well done bacon (my personal favourite). We were there towards the end of the breakfast period but there was no hint to rush or anything. Just a calm, fulfilling breakfast - as it should be. Thanks again

We arrived just as breakfast was finishing but the manager said we could stay and eat our fill from what was left. Very friendly and accommodating staff, relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious. You can’t beat a cooked breakfast.

Been coming to the Minehead Brewers Fayre for a Sunday carvery regularly. The 'King-sized' carvery that you pay extra for (as in the pictures I took last time) is now the same size as a 'Standard' on a small, slightly over-sized Tea plate. The waitress agreed that we were given a 'Standard', the guy serving the food didn't and was adamant it was the King-sized meal. No apology or reimbursement offered. Very poor today!

Slow poor service, staff are lazy did not clear the table, no restaurant etiquette, pea and chip portions tiny…over 2 hours to get main course and had to keep chasing. Worse dining experience I have ever had.

No Staff front of house struggling. Food meat burnt to cremation level. Potato green and raw. Food brought out missing items. Salad gritty, left after waiting an hour for child's pudding. Can't fault staff taking orders and serving food in a full metal knee brace. The three ladies on front of house need medals. Shame the kitchen and company let us down very disappointed.

Visited twice this week whilst on holiday. Very pleasant staff, good food at reasonable prices, one of the best Brewers Fayre’s I’ve been to. Thank you!

Helen Georgina and Steve were particularly helpful from installing bluelight and recommended rump steak which was first class I am a caravan owner at Butlins and will leave a recommendation to dine here in my caravan

Stayed at the Premier Inn and ate here. Understaffed and understocked which they explained would delay food and limit choice. Fair enough. The food itself was dire. Gammon had been previously cooked and reheated. Ordered chicken burger with no mayo but turned up smothered in mayo. Too long to wait for another so just went with it. Our youngest ordered chicken wings. The smell and grey appearance meant the fat was definitely old and the chicken probably cooked straight from frozen. Even the barbecue sauce couldn't disguise the taste and smell which turned your stomach. On the plus side, the staff were trying hard to work with the limited resources Brewers Fayre had given them. With hindsight we should have searched for local eateries on Google maps but we went with the ease and convenience of a pub next to the Premier Inn and got stung for being lazy!

Staff were very friendly and accommodating for our party of 10. Some wanted to sit outside and some in. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was as expected for the price. No complaints and would definitely return 😊

Absolutely shocking chips came cold and wet, 4 hairs found in 3 of our dishes slow all food was cold and disgusting staff that greeted us had such and attitude, don't recommend

Stayed at the next door Premier Inn. Had breakfast here every morning and can’t fault the food at all. Had plenty of choice (continental). Unfortunately it was very obvious they were short staffed and only ever saw the manager and 1 other staff member who was constantly wiping tables/ clearing up. Went for dinner and had to wait at the bar to be served by the manager Charlotte who was very polite and professional while again a couple of members of staff cleaned tables or directed people to their tables. There was a wait to be served eveytime we visited which showed up the lack of staff available here. Overall decent food but unfortunately the lack of staff really impacts your visit.

Lovely pub,well organised and great staff.food was excellent. Definitely recommend anyone to go there.

Had a carvery the carrots were still frozen the parsnips only part cooked and the toilets were disgusting staff didn't seem to care either

Came for breakfast this morning, Welcomed by the manager Phillip. Shown to our table in a quieter corner of the restaurant. The choice of food was fantastic. We both had full English breakfast and continental too. Fruit juice was delicious. Not watered down like some places do! The food was cooked perfectly, not greasy at all. Great choice of cereal, pastries, toast and pancakes. Drinks were included in the price and there was a vast selection of hot and cold drinks. Very friendly polite staff. Booked to return next Sunday but for carvery.

Had breakfast with 2 children great value buffet I paid £10.99 for myself and 2 kids 16 or under the kids loved it and the food was great and plenty of it. Continental and full breakfast on offer

What an awesome place. Staff were incredible with us as we’d all have different disabilities and allergies. They even had a full braille and large print menu. Went above and beyond. Nice job

Great place, although I'm gutted my local one in Taunton is gone, but the bloke who served me was great at his job. Basically all I have to say

Really unpleasant vegetarian lasagne and salad was not very fresh. Garlic bread was OK. I wouldn't eat here again.

Terrible. Kept us, waiting an hour and a half for food. Spent time grilling a lemon. Staff dumped us at a table and told us to serve ourselves. No service.

The kids pizza came with vegetable sticks instead of chips

Staff were happy and polite Knowledge knew the menu and gave recommendations. Served in good time the food was presentable and was what you would expect for 2 meals £10.99 Value for money.

2 years ago we walked out of this place due to an extremely rude staff member. Two years on 30.06.2024 and what a difference. Good value for money, kind and courteous staff, good food and good atmosphere. Shame about the limited vegetarian options but Well done on the improvement.

Quite dingy, tired atmosphere with an interesting selection of customers and staff. Food was generally ok and seemed quite good value.

Got there and was closed due to staff shortages. Hadn't even rang to inform us even though we had a table booked.

Only serving hotel guests even though there are loads of empty tables

Slow service at bar taking orders not even half full wife has been at bar in quite for 15 mins to order drinks and food. And it's a sunny June Friday evening well understaffed

Booked breakfast here for Sunday, to drive over an hour to find they where shut due to no staff! Common courtesy would have been to either email or phone everyone who had booked! If they had time to put notes on the doors/window surely it couldn't have taken long to call bookings which has been made. Not get a refund from hotel for breakfast sign. Was gutted as last time was a lovely breakfast. Hope I don't get fined for driving in the carpark and leaving less than 5 mins later as couldn't put registration number in like previously and other places.

Average food ok except poppadoms on no prep.correctly damp not crispy

It's OK but very quiet when we went. Lack of staff but not the pubs fault.

empty and told we needed to book in advance even the elderly couple who where in front of me were told to pre book and they was staying in the premier hotel. they asked about their breakfast and told the same again i called my wife and mother in law and told the waitress we will be happy to spend £50 in macdonalds next door. food who knows atmosphere empty service ..... not today its bookings only. good luck

Food was good and service adequate, if brusque. Could have done without the running commentary on the problems with their respective domestic arrangements while they were serving customers.

Good for a basic pub meal reasonably priced food and drink

Inadequate staff at bar taking food orders as well as serving drinks; evidently they had not anticipated the volume of customers for a Thursday lunchtime service. Essentially a Witherspoon’s style menu/service. Not our first choice for a family meet-up, but at least the parking was free and close-by.

Friendly staff cheap and cheerful

So, here is an honest review for a sub standard, disappointing, overpriced experience which is outside the control of the staff there. I know the parent company has said it's closing over one hundred of these restaurants and given the slide in standards of this place, I assume that this is either being squeezed for profit or eventually closing. For food, I decided you know what, I don't want chips with my food, I'll get a lasagne, it was alright last time I was here. Oh boy how the acceptible standards have slipped. Lasagne generally constitutes layers of pasta, I *think* there was one layer with more melted cheese than was really edible placed slapped and briefly grilled to melt it housed in a dish which hasn't been cleaned properly as I'm about 95% sure that there was burnt on cottage pie on it. The audacity, nae the hubris which has taken place for the kitchen staff to create this plate of disappointment which somehow flavor has been extracted leaving nothing but disappointment, anger, and rage. Garfield would turn in his grave in the back of John's garden knowing that this has been brought into the world. And then there is something on the menu which is beyond hubris, the levels have slipped even further reaching contemptuousness. The novel idea of Burger Fries is simple and a different option for a side. The photo in the menu looks edible, what arrived simply defies belief. Look for yourself, I'm running out of nouns to express my anguish and displeasure. The breakfast here is edible, no issues with that but the dinners are beyond belief.

Had 2 great meals. Quality was fantastic cooked to perfection. Service 1st class.

We had breakfast here on my son’s 11th birthday a couple days ago and the member of staff who served us was just amazing. Her name is Helen and she was great from start to finish. She made us feel very welcome and answered any question we had. Definitely recommend this restaurant especially on a day that Helen is working.

The food and atmosphere as anticipated at a Brewers fare -however I’m writing this review to acknowledge the excellent service and level of care we witnessed from Charlotte. Delightful to see someone truly put customers first and go out of her way for them.

We had a lovely family meal in the day time so it wasn't to busy that staff were very friendly and helpful clean baby changing facilities

Staff fantastic , choice of food brilliant value for money

Closed at 8 pm because of "staff shortage " Was this a managed shortage because it was Sunday evening? This is supposed to be the food and drink provider for customers at the premier inn There is nothing else nearby Tough on people who had driven long distances to stay there

Very busy but all staff very pleasant, took about 45 mins for our good to come but it was hot and tasty.

Visited this place at the end of our holiday for breakfast with friends. Plenty of room, toilets were clean, food fresh, enjoyable and for the price there was a lot to eat.

If you like burnt food this is the place to go, not kid friendly, very rude lady showed us to the table. We asked if our 2 young children could have some pens and activity sheets to do while waiting for the food, she just replied "no, don't have any" and she kept telling our son to shhh! We had traveled a fair journey and was very hungry. Waited 50 plus minutes, my daughter's sausage were very well done and half of the corn on the cob was missing. See pics with other burnt food. No one came over to see if everything was ok. Seem very short of staff and the chef must have had a bad day, a few people complained, we just wanted to get out asap, wasn't prepared to wait another hour for replacement food.

Lovely food friendly staff. Highly recommend

Cold food, could care less staff. Very disappointed

Good food but very under staffed. Those that are there work very hard.

It's ok but nothing to go mad about the good thing is you don't have to pay to park

Food was cooked to perfection thankyou

(Minehead 11.05.2014 10:10) This place returned to life a year ago, now it's even worse than before. Rude staff, feels like a food factory. Nothing about the guests, all about the staff's comfort. See you again in 5-6 years.

Very polite staff, great food and fast service.

Don't bother to show your blue light card as website suggests . The small print pretty much disqualify you from using it against every menu they have on offer.

Food cold, small portions, took 50 minutesto come out - when complained they said we should have complained sooner - surely thry know how long people waiting from point of order and should also give you a chance not to order if such a long wait

We tried this as we have never been in one before.. must admit abit disappointed.. I had the stack burger which was nice but the chips were over done and only had about 12 chips.. not worth the money in my opinion. My partners gammon was fatty and burnt around the edges. Also chips over cooked and not really a portion.. So overall very disappointed as I've always thought these were good for ther food

This is a cut above the usual standard in my view. The pub is new build and modern to service the adjacent Premier Inn customers. The food was simple but good and the staff polite and attentive. Not unpleasant views out of the large windows.

Nice Thai green curry but not enough for an adult.

Exactly what you expect of a brewers fair, toilets were clean, food was good, friendly staff .
