Brewers Fayre Monifieth Farm in Angus

Staff friendly. The best resource in the tired place. 2nd visit in a few months as in the area. Previous visit. Venue was very limited first time due to delivery issue of chicken. This time arrived at very start of lunch service. If I had looked at the carpet first- I wouldn't have ordered. Even my husband said it looked as if it hadn't been hoovered for weeks. It looked rank and had very visible debris. If this is the public facing area, I cringe as to the state of the kitchen. The play area was closed weekdays due to staff shortage- in school holidays. This is false evonomy.. Witnessed at least 2 grouos leave because of this which means lost revenue. The 2 for 1 mains deal is misleading. The mains differ significantly from those on the main menu. Eg smothered chicken barely covered and no coleslaw. Prob worth the money but would have preferred more cheese/ bbq sauce and trimmings so should have paid more. The toilet sinks look dire.. The sealant round them looks shocking and makes you more aware of just how run down the place is elsewhere.

Staff were absolutely brilliant, we stayed in premier inn from Friday to Monday and had breakfast everyday and it was brilliant the 6 of us were very satisfied with the food and service even though they ran out of milk it was still brilliant

This is the second time I have been here and been disappointed, first time travelled to be told only cooking to guests. Second time on Sunday at 4.30 - menu very limited and 4.50 for play area when eating in restaurant personally find over priced. Goes to bar to order to be told no carvery as they have run out now I understand the could have been busy previously but the whole restaurant was practically empty. Now I checked before booking and especially booked carvery in-between the times stated 12-6. Not impressed at only half past four this was taken off - there was plenty of veg when we went we arrived. We unfortunately had to leave as the menu had little choice. Luckily we got a refund for play area.

Just had a wonderful lunch with very attentive and helpful staff. We were awarded a voucher as we had booked previously and when we arrived discovered the restaurant was closed weekdays. Thanks to all who made our meal a pleasure and we shall return. Hope the 2 week trial of lunch on weekdays turns out successfully. Thanks again.

We dropped in for a pre-Christmas Christmas meal. We all enjoyed all three courses and the prices were extremely reasonable. Such lovely ladies serving us. Alcoholic drinks not expensive either. Would recommend.

We visited here for dinner and breakfast as part of an overnight stay. The service was great, the food was good but the highlight for me was how supportive the staff were with my nut allergy. We were asked up-front if anyone had any allergies and I was given the allergen guide to check. While there were not nuts in the waitress said she would personally take my breakfast order and have it prepared separately just to absolutely ensure any cross-contamination from the buffet. This was so appreciated and it was done with no trouble at all. We ad the same brilliant experience at dinner as well. This really allayed my fears. I was able to enjoy my food and would 100% come back here. Thank you to all the team, very much appreciated!

Had the most amazing breakfast! Great for the kids, and kids eat free. Aimee was just so lovely. Will definitely be coming back again.

Orderd a mix grill for my tea and it came with a side of hair, i told the waitress she was very apologetic and offered a free desert, but I was put off eating (basicallythe whole plate was left untouched). I thought that I would be refunded since I left the whole lot.

It was for our birthday girl. The staff was lovely. The price is good. Food lovely and big variety of it. Tge only issue the service was not good. We had to help Zoe. One perso only for such bug facilities is not acceptable.

We had a brilliant birthday party, kids were delighted with the delicious food. Big thanks to the whole team, and specially to Zoe.

Took grandson who is 5 to play area at Monifieth brewers fayre .we had unlimited coffees while he played he really enjoyed it .

Amazing! Had a table booked for later and came in and asked on the off chance a table would be free. The staff were so accomodating and fitted us in. And we had a birthday in our party and they put the candles in the pudding! Above and beyond!

Had our son’s 5th party with 18 friends - preparation were great, buffet food choice excellent and staff could not do enough for us! Everyone had a blast!! Could not recommend enough!!

The whole place seemed utter chaos during our visit. My husband was over 20 minutes in the queue to order for 5 of us around 12.30pm - apparently staff were 'having their lunch after a party'.....at the busiest time for a restaurant. Our food did not all come at the same time, we had to clear our own table to make room for coffees/desserts. Ladies toilets beside the play area were blocked and having told a staff member at 12.00 noon when we arrived, they were still the same at 14.15pm when we left. Food was ok, but shall think twice before visiting again.

We came here twice on a recent trip to Dundee as our first visit was so good. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Our daughter has a dairy allergy and this was taken very seriously as soon as we came in as we were provided with a folder documenting all of the allergens in each meal which gave us peace of mind and made ordering much easier. Staff went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, especially our kids who are 4 and 1. The manager spent time talking to them and gave them some toys to play with which they were very happy with. All of our food was lovely and the kids 3 course meal for £5.99 was extremely good value. We stopped for lunch on our return journey and both kids got to play at the soft play which they really enjoyed as there was plenty for all ages. Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially those with children for lovely food, great value and fantastic, welcoming staff!

We had our daughters 5th Birthday party at the soft play it was the best party ever our party host Zoe was fantastic couldn’t fault it one bit she was amazing went out her way for us the whole day. All the kids had a great time and so many ppl told us how good the party was we had a buffet style party and there was soo much food still left over was amazing would definitely recommend 100 per cent for a kids party here!

Went for lunch at the weekend and we had a nice meal for 2 adults and 2 children. Children’s meal deal is good, they get a starter, main and pudding for £5.99. Plenty of nice choices on the main menu too. The kids enjoyed playing at the soft play area too which is £4.50 per child. We were served by Alex and Nicole who were so polite and attentive- great service. The place was lovely and cosy. We enjoyed our visit.

Good service, kitchen a little slow but nice food when it arrived. Kids loved the play area which was clean and not too cold.

Booked here for Xmas Dinner, when making booking I made it quite clear that I was a wheelchair user and my friend was blind with a guide dog we were placed right at the back of the restaurant and to get to the table other tables had to move to let me in and out also it was never stated on there Xmas menu that it would be a carvery service I couldn't leave the table without disturbing other people asked a waitress to assist and Almost 45 mins for my food which came cold totally ruined my Xmas lunch there was no space for my friends guide dog either will definitely not be back.

Bar area was cold and when member of staff was asked to put on the heating the response was that the heating was on “ in the building “ and it would “ circulate through “ There was no heat at all from the radiators or a hot air vent in the bar area and we wore our coats throughout our brief and cold visit. Oddly enough the draught beer and the wine from the fridge were both warm and all in all it was very poor show considering drinks aren’t exactly cheap. Staff seemed to be short staffed but it wasn’t a good experience unfortunately

We booked for Boxing Day at 4pm. There was not alot of people in the restaurant, set menu with alot of items not available not great when it's a small set menu and when I asked if I could order from the normal menu I was told no. Most of the food was burnt and the brussel sprouts were so over cooked they had lost all colour and were almost white. Staff were very nice. Especially kids area woman she was great with the kids.

Alex Amy and Nicole perfect hosts. Great and. Polite very attentive 👍🎅 couldn't ask for. More service. Was very good. Looked after me and the wife very well thank you and merry Christmas to you all

Great staff, very helpful and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed my Scampi and the Banoffee Cheesecake was gorgeous. At breakfast, sadly, the coffee machine was broken (again) and this did spoil things. However, on the whole, we were happy 😊

Had a delicious 2 course lunch from the festive menu. Served by Victoria, who was friendly and welcoming…nothing was too much bother! The food I believe was cooked by George the chef and it was hot, generously sized and very tasty! Recommended! Well done Team Monifieth!

Excellent pre Christmas menu set price 3 course choice Every meal delicious well done Louise and staff Definitely recommend

Food was delicious and served quickly Staff were very friendly Kurt was very welcoming and seated us quickly

Alex and rest of staff were very helpful and helped make our experience a good one. Trouble was getting kids to eat as they were having to much fun in play area.

We decided to pop in for some last-minute food Staff were excellent, especially Nicole who was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. Can't fault the service, and the Xmas menu was really nice and reasonably priced

Food wasn't very good. Burnt chicken and wasn't hot enough. But Nicole (brown hair) was very kind and chatty! And was lovely to my wee boy (8) he loved her. So sweet. Would visit again because of great service from her :)

I frequently stay in premier inns and eat in the adjoining restaurants, this brewers fayre is definitely one of the better ones to eat in, the food was very good and the service was excellent by the staff, who were very polite and friendly especially Alex who I was served by, I would definitely return to eat here again if I was staying next door.

Louisa our server was brilliant and really looked after us. We were a big group and she couldn't have been more helpful.

Had a fantastic meal here with my family. We had a big table and the food was great and even better service from Louisa. Thank you

Louisa was very attentive and polite! Great service, great food, an overall great experience :) will definitely be back again!

Attended a Wake here today and Kurt and his staff could not have been better. Nothing was too much trouble and they all went above and beyond to make a difficult time go smoothly.

We are just back from having my aunties wake at the restaurant today, wonderful experience and the staff are extremely accommodating!! I used to work here so I know all the staff members and I can’t fault any of them, not just because they’re my friends but because they’re brilliant at what they do. Nothing was too much bother for them, they went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after, the staff here are like family to me. Lara, Millie, Kurt, Lou and Amy were on shift today and made sure our day was that extra bit special, thankyou so so so much to each and everyone one of you that made tonight the best, Lesley would’ve been looking down with the biggest smile on her face.

We decided to have our wake here for our beloved sisters passing, Kurt and staff went above and beyond to ensure we were all seen to and catered for...absolutely amazing, thankyou! Made a very difficult time stress free and easy! My late sister loved brewers at Monifieth and I know why, can't thank all you guys enough...true assets to this wonderful establishment x

I traveled a very long distance to this restaurant to attend a pre-booked family birthday celebration, only to find when we arrived that the doors were locked, with a note on the door saying they were only serving hotel guests, due to staff shortages. No attempt was made to contact me to say that the restaurant was closed, and when I complained to customer services, all they could say is "Rest assure this has been logged internally and will be picked up for review. Again, our deepest apologies." Surely, if there was sufficient staff to cook for, and serve some guests, then bookings should have been honored, but, faced with a locked door, we had no choice but to go to the nearby Bell Tree Inn instead. Very disappointed with Brewers Fayre, and their lack of interest in finding out what had gone wrong. Yes, I'm grateful for the apology, but it just doesn't feel enough after a 200 mile journey!

Good breakfast and friendly staff. Good atmosphere and plenty of choice for breakfast. Plenty of parking.

This spot was fabulous. Kurt seated us. He checked that everything was okay with our meal. Overall the staff were excellent, they were kind and polite. Food was perfect.

We booked Brewer's Fayre for our son's birthday party because he had been to a friend's party there recently and it was good fun. Two hours on the softplay equipment + hot buffet party food. We had booked for 25 kids, so they had prepared enough food for that number (tons of pizza, garlic bread, nuggets, chips, veg sticks, corn cobs, etc.) but unfortunately only 10 could come. In the end we were only charged for the 10 and we still got our deposit back. Really grateful to the manager and her lovely staff for doing that for us. Very happy to recommend.

5 Star Breakfast this Morning all Staff were Brilliant. Food cooked to perfection Lovely and Hot. Very attentive Staff Welcome was excellent. Keep up the great work.

An excellent enjoyable weekly breakfast for my wife and my self with a friendly staff and amazing atmosphere and food From a doctor and his wife

Fantastic service, they most certainly made our evening special as a family. Incredibly helpful. We came from Manchester and they were fantastic.

We booked a table here for Tuesday 29th -August- was staying in a local premier inn not the one attached and I don’t know Dundee so wanted something handy and easily accessible. Haven’t been in a brewers Fayre for a long time. We went to...

Breakfast was amazing. The staff really helpful and kirk made me smile at a sad time. It made my trip all the better. Thank you all

No wine classes yet there was a full tray of clean glasses sitting, ran out of multiple drinks that we were wanting. Very poor service from the staff, took at least 15 minutes each time to get a drink. Hardly anyone in the place yet...

Food is average at this venue but is reasonable value for money. A strange thing is that there’s never any wine glasses available which is unusual considering it’s a restaurant and pub which serves wine and it’s not exactly cheap. When asked about the shortage...

So disappointed that public was not allowed in for a meal tonight 07 08 23 No notice up yesterday to alert public Nothing on their web site informing the restaurant is closed

Great for letting the kids let off steam in the play area while we enjoyed some refillable soft drinks and a chat.

Booked a table for myself and my husband and family and friends, having just gotten married the day before we were given extra care and attention from Kurt and Lara. We were catered for really well and were even given a bottle of bubbles for...

We ate in the kids area today for the kids holiday activities. Lara put on chalk drawing and the boys loved playing with her 🙂 Food was great as always

My mother-in-law booked a table for 6 people for lunch on Friday 7th July. The only reason she booked here was so that my three year old daughter could play indoors/outdoors. Having paid £4.50 for the indoor soft play (which I thought was slightly steep...

Had a lovely breakfast, food was cooked well and there is a lot of options. Pancakes, cereals, pastries, fruits and ofcourse cooked options. The best thing was our lovely server, didn't catch her name but she was lovely, polite, friendly and really cheerful, thank you...

I visited today with two of my children and two grandsons. We could easily see they were short staffed and trying so hard to keep up a high quality service. I would love the staff working today to know there hard work was noticed and...

We haven't visited here before, first visit. Plenty parking. Really nice meal for the four of us, the only negative was the BBQ sauce on the ribs was quite spicy and had I known I wouldn't have ordered it, but other than that the food...

Went in for breakfast, was greeted by a lovely young man (think he was the chef) who showed me where to find everything. Food was much better than my last visit on Monday, everything was hot and cooked perfectly. Will be back for more giant...

Brilliant service really enjoyed Kurt and he really made us laugh and made our day the meals were spot on thank you so much

We are holidaying in Arbroath. Went to Dundee for the day. On the way back spotted Brewer’s Fayre at Monifeith Farm and decided to stop for dinner. It was my wife’s birthday so her choice where we ate. Glad she chose here. Had the sharing...

We come here for our Sunday Roasts. There is always a great selection of delicious meats and vegetables. Followed by a yummy dessert. The excellent value for money and great customer service keeps us coming back. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff and great food. We used the kids play area and we had a great time. Highly recommended

After being here few weeks back, and didn’t receive blue light discount after specifically telling man serving me at till, I was to receive a £10 off discount next visit, so returned for dinner with my daughter. We ordered a starter and main course. Got...

We had a birthday party here yesterday (27/05/23) and it was a wonderful experience. Lara, our server, was incredible! Nothing was too much trouble for her. She was very attentive, friendly, and great with the kids. The food was fab and there was plenty. Lara...

We have received a brilliant service from Ross and his colleagues for my daughter 5th birthday party! Food was freshly cooked and delicious. My daughter loves to go to play area there.

We had an enjoyable and tasty evening meal of a single course in comfort and quietness. Our server that evening was Rachel and she could not be more helpful and engaging. This contributed considerably to our experience and the pleasure we found in dining at...

Great service good food will be back there was a problem but staff put it right so fully recommend thank you staff

Excellent food ,fast service, very clean, well trained staff who know there menu and explain any questions you have. Excellent gluten free menu. Buffet breakfast, plenty of choice. Congratulations to all staff in running this restaurant

Back again for a meal after the 3 week stay I had. Here with mum and granddaughter food excellent as always and staff amazing too.

Went for an evening meal with my daughter. We were greeted by a friendly member of the team whk showed us to our table. The restaurant was busy and staff were working away clearing tables and serving food. We ordered out meal and shortly after...

A few friends and I came this evening with our young children for a play and tea. The food was very quick to arrive once ordered, delicious and piping hot too. There was a mix up with the puddings and the attentive staff were very...

We took my Mum out for dinner to celebrate all being together. The good was delicious and the customer service was excellent. Special thanks to Victoria and Rachel. We shall be back

Disappointing from start to finish. Childs meal took 10mins to arrive after adults, with no explanation or apology. No cutlery on table even after food arrived. Staff attitude poor and unhelpful. Dessert hadn't arrived after 40mins then order was wrong after asking twice where it...

Staff were very pleasant and friendly, breakfast was good but by the time you waited in line for your hot drink the breakfast was nearly cold. Could do with two coffee machines and two updated toasters.

We arrived early got our booking, and we were able to get seated straight away. They made us aware of a few dishes that were unavailable. Menu seemed.very small with the missing dishes never mind without them. Carmen behind the bar who hadn’t long started...

Rachel and Lara provided amazing customer service even though they were rushed off their feet. They took the time to come and check on us, nothing was too much trouble, again, even though they were rushed off their feet. Food was brilliant also. Will be...

Very polite staff and breakfast was excellent plenty to choose from we took little granddaughter with us and she had a little breakfast all free and sat in a high chair what they provided

Great place to enjoy a coffee while my grandson enjoys the play area. Lara was interacting and playing with the children well, they were all happy.

Fantastic service, brilliant guy called Kurt was excellent 👍 , also the receptionist was so helpful and lovely

Would highly recommend for food and gatherings with or without kids. Food was great and Louise was brilliant from the minute we got into the building. Very friendly and welcoming.

Here for three weeks due to work on flats loving it breakfast and dinner deal food is excellent and staff lovely

Couldnt fault the breakfast made as asked for Louise the waitress/server was very welcoming she was very friendly and made sure we got what we wanted would de come back for breakfast

The service was quick, the staff were helpful and friendly. We were made to feel very welcome.

Our visit was excellent. All the staff were great and they couldn't have done more for us. PS knickerbocker glory sundae was a big hit with everyone

A great range of food at value for money prices. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our grand daughter enjoyed the play area and the kids menu. Curt especially went the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience.

A large number of diners arrived simultaneously. The staff and kitchen were under a lot of pressure. We arrived just after the peak. We heard staff on the receiving end of some quite unpleasant comments and behaviour. Others diners were frustrated but understanding. Despite being...

absolutely shocking. Walked out after sitting waiting on our meal for an hour to then be told that what we had ordered wasn’t available and would we like to reorder. Staff were few and far between and not well trained. The table next to us...

Not a friendly welcome. Starters were potato skins with cheese and bacon. Had to look for the cheese 😯skins very hard. Waited for main course over an hour. No apology. Did not stay for dessert. Maybe some training on customer service would be good

Just returned from a family breakfast, buffet food hot, fresh and plentiful. staff very welcoming and a surprise visit from the Easter bunny topped it off, kids had great fun

We visited Brewers Fayre and sat in the children's play area. Lara who was the staff member in that area was absolutely lovely. She played with the kids which they loved and we got 5 minutes peace to eat our meal! Also nothing was too...

Great food and Lara the waitress made extra time and effort to play with the kids and there balloons. That's never happened before in all the times I have ate here! Hope she's working everytime me and my son come in.

Went as a family with our 4 year old daughter. Adults had the carvery - no complaints. We sat in the kids area so our daughter could play - Lara, the woman who was working in the kids area was brilliant with all the children....

On way home needed somewhere for a meal. We had been to this restaurant previously and found it had no atmosphere and the food and staff barely met our basic requirement. What a change last night, met by a very pleasant staff member at the...

Came to Brewers fayre for an end of term disco in the play area for the kids finishing for Easter - it was great!! The kids had an absolute ball and the 2 staff members who were running the event , Ross and Victoria could...

The staff in this pub are perfection!!!. Friendly and very attentive to all customers. Make you feel welcome and want to make sure you leave happy. I've stayed in adjacent Premier Inn on 3 occasions now over 6 months (staff in there also great) and...

Food was out of this world service was good Rachel tended to our every need definitely be back again

We had our little boys 6th birthday party with exclusive use at Play @. Everything was taken care of by staff, from invitations and party bags to food and table settings. Staff supported to gather the children together for food and cake, nothing was too...

This place has really gone downhill in all the time I’ve been coming here and it was the worst today! No staff at front desk to welcome customers. Once at table, I had to dodge food lying on carpet under the table before sitting down....

Came here to catch up with family. Lovely service form our waitress and food was brilliant. Ordered the chicken pie, it was lovely and hot and the sundae was full to the brim. We will she back again when travelling up to visit family.

The girls had such fun at the farm today they loved their spaghetti and ice-cream, and the friendly service was fantastic

Come in on multiple visits over the last 3 weeks for breakfast and have never been disappointed. Louise is always there ready to help with anything and is an absolute credit. Always makes me feel welcome.
