Brewers Fayre The Howgate in Copeland

Well cooked Premier Inn Breakfasts. Good selwction of items for all tastes and appetites. Friendly, helpful staff. Does not disappoint.

We are a group of octogenarians, friends for 70 years who meet at the Howgate three times a year. The staff are always friendly and meet our needs. The food is always tasty, very good value too!

My wife and I each had the mixed grill inc peppercorn sauce. The grills were grand except my steak which was unacceptably chewy. I politely complained to Paul the manager, who was very apologetic and had it replaced with a sirloin one without complaint. After that the meal was enjoyable. My wife had no complaints about her steak which she enjoyed. Just an unfortunate experience, as we both frequent the Howgate regularly and have had nothing to complain about before. The Manager Paul was great. Will be back. Thank you.

Went for a evening meal on Sunday with 2 friends , it was a very busy night for the staff , who were excellent ,please thank them as they were doing a fantastic job , food and cocktails were delicious , we will be back👍

Great food. Super service. Great friendly staff. Warm clean atmosphere. Very helpful. Would eat again here. Well recommended.

Excellent customer service from all the staff. Paul, who showed us to our table tonight was really friendly, asked about our day and remembered my drink order from last night. All the staff are really friendly, didn't have to wait long for food and will be returning

We went for breakfast and were told to just show up by reception and see if there was availability, as we were staying at the Premier Inn. To our surprise, when we turned up we were rudely ignored. After five minutes, this short haired, middle aged, blonde woman came up and snapped at us instantly. If there was no availability, it wouldn’t have been an issue, but she had a raised voice and snapped and went on and on about how she had no food, no cutlery and exaggerated that we were a nuisance. She could have just said there was no availability and there would be absolutely no issue. After her rant, she walked away mid conversation to which, we were shocked at the lack of professionalism. Im not expecting to be treated like it is The Ritz but Jesus Christ. As someone who works in hospitality myself, I understand the pressure of front of house. However, human decency is the bare minimum, no matter the circumstance. We will not be returning.

Booked in for 8.15 to be told we could only get food of the value meals this was a Saturday night then tried to charge us full price per meal avoid this place at all costs and last drinks at 10 wtf

Absolutely disgusting avoid at all cost!!! After eating her I got extremely ill, food undercooked and the staff just do not get the lady with dark short hair need to get out of hospitality she is not suited to deal with customers or even the way she speaks to her staff

What has happened to the howgate!! Came her last month and the Sunday dinner was lovely, hot and appealing. Come in today and it’s cold more like freezing, meat was lukewarm and horrific, the veg was freezing as I told the young chef he told me it a cook in bag and probably hasn’t been defrosted correctly didn’t want to eat after that so left the whole thing! Told a member of the waiting staff and got told there was nothing she could do! Clearly lacking of any decent staff and food nowadays! I will not return!

Staff were lovely who served us and were able to accommodate without a booking when we just dropped in. However i was absolutely shocked when our pie, peas and mash and pie peas and chips was delivered to the table without gravy. when i asked about gravy i was told that this was an extra and wasn't included in the price. I then went to find a waitress to ask if she could show me where the gravy was on the menu, she then proceeded to tell me it wasn't on this menu but was on the sides menu. It cost £44 for the 2 meals and a hotdog and chips for my son with 3 drinks and they wanted extra for gravy. very disappointed to say the least.

Staff are always friendly and happy to help. We had Scott and Grace but all staff deserve the credit. Day time 2 meals special menu is good value. We had 33%off which makes the evening menu also good value. Don't go if you want or expect posh grub, but for value for money you can't go wrong especially if you sign up to the bonus club and collect points to get free deserts or wine and they often send vouchers through too. We are often a big party and they cater for us all. Sunday carvery is a winner too.

Great service from Stacey and Jess. What a lovely team. Stacey was great both nights we stayed. Nothing was too much trouble and she made sure everything was as it should be. Both women were an asset to the organisation and should be very treasured. Employees like that don't come along every day. Efficient, competent with lovely people skills. Bravo!

Lynn our waitress was lovely. Food was hot and the desserts were very nice too. A friendly place to go with family and friends.

Great service and excellent food .. ladies who work here are always pleasant and efficient 10/10 always enjoy coming here on business

The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant and toilets are very clean. Good portion sizes for the meals which are very tasty and the Sunday carvery is excellent. They are on the ball when it comes to allergies. I highly recommend paying a visit.

Called in for lunch as this is one of our regular eating places these days. Greeted by Helen who was very efficient. Food and drinks ordered at the bar. Speedy service with a smile as usual. Delicious food from the daytime value menu. Well done Helen and Olivia brilliant team as always 👍🏽

We came to Brewers fayre with our school for an end of term visit. We have children with special educational needs. The staff were brilliant with them accomadating and patient. I would recommend to anyone wishing to visit and enjoy a hearty breakfast with their children. Gemma and staff thank you very much.

Lovely late lunch at the Howgate last Monday Food was delicious and presented well Service was as usual excellent Well done the Howgate Great service Great food Great team

4 of us went in for birthday celebrations as my wife and mother in law had birthday vouchers. On arrival I spoke to Helen and explained I wanted two meals put through at full price as we had two vouchers and we would have two off the lunch time deals, she said this was fine she even upgraded a cheese burger to a bacon burger so it would go through at full price. On leaving Jake was on the till told him we were going to split the bill as we had vouchers, mother in law presented hers and we got a meal knocked off before we could DO ANYTHING OR SAY ANYTHING JAKE JUST TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF AND TILLED THE REST OF THE MEALS UP when we said we had another voucher we were told it was too late we could'nt have two discounts off one bill, told him I had explained all this to Helen, she came over, they fiddled with the till but could'nt do anything so we had to pay full price for something we did'nt want, unable to use our other voucher. We have been loyal customers for many years but WE WILL NOT BE BACK.

Ben leaving was a big loss but Jake has ably stepped in and is very polite and helpful. Jake and the staff all work together and really help out when needed

Had another great night at the Howgate! We always get a very warm welcome and fantastic service from Gemma, she gives really good advice on the menu.

We visited the Howgate, brilliant as usual. A warm welcome, professional, but friendly. Great staff, thanks Gemma. The food is good and always presented nice and served in good time.

Just been for the Boxing Day fixed menu with my family. The food was beautiful, one of the group has food allergies and the staff were brilliant discussing menu options with them. Lovely friendly, helpful staff 10/10

We went for our xmas dinner. The staff were amazing food was amazing I would def recommend they even give the kids a bag of sweets and a card for adults

Another busy Saturday night, and the usual very friendly welcome from all! Thanks to Lynn for their excellent service with a smile! Food was very enjoyable and cooked to perfection. Thanks again to all for a great evening and we will be back soon.

We were staying in the Premier Inn anyway and this is a convenient location for dinner - no drink driving! The restaurant also catered for 17 of us to have a meal after my mother in laws funeral earlier. Stacey and Lynn looked after us very well on all 4 nights between them - very grateful 😊

Wonderful staff, Stacey could not have been more helpful through out our stay. Would highly advise to anyone looking to come. Brilliant breakfast and meals with a great atmosphere

Very nice food, friendly service. Nice looking bar. Definitely worth a visit. I will be back. Relaxing place

Our evening meal was plentiful, tasty & well presented.Breakfasts were plentiful, well cooked & presented.All meals represented fair value for money.The staff without exception were very hardworking, polite & helpful !Unfortunately the building has a tired/shabby external appearance & the interior is rather drab & dated, a "makeover" is definitely needed !

Excellent value for money. Staff attentive but not over bearing. Roast was excellent. Grandchildren's meal was very good.

Just had a lovely stopover at the Premier Inn we ate in the restaurant we had a lovely meal couldn’t fault the staff or the food both excellent I even got some chocolates for my birthday which was a lovely touch ! Would highly recommend a visit there !

Stayed at the premier inn for a couple of night & ate in the restaurant both days for breakfast and dinner. We were well looked after by all the staff, food was delicious & service was fast & efficient. Will definitely be back. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Came to visit family and stopped at the Premier Inn. Had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Everything was brilliant from start to finish. Staff were very chatty and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. We had breakfast the next day and that set us up for the day. The kids really enjoyed their breakfast. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you.

The restaurant Brewers fayre not good at all.We bought breakfast through hotel page . Half of the food in their menu they didnt have, one example was when we wanted toast but there was only brown toast. No pancakes 2 days in a row . The tables were not clean. The floor was extremely sticky . For full breakfast waiting time was an hour . Staff was very nice and polite.

It was our first time back since lock down ended, we were met by the always friendly and helpful Ben who is always cheerful and makes you feel very welcome. We had a problem with our voucher which Ben was happy to sort out for us.Well done Ben and all the Howgate staff.

Came on the first night of finally being allowed out. The food was brilliant and the team on were great. The place looked really clean aswell. Will be booking to come back soon

My boyfriend and I had just been on a long hike and were arriving at our Airbnb that day, we were really tired and needed food ASAP. We didn’t have a good impression of brewers fayre, thinking it was basically a spoons but we were really hungry so booked.My god, we were wrong. The food was unbelievable, my double stacked burger exploded in my mouth, it was exactly what I wanted. The waitress was friendly and reminded me of my Nan (RIP Shirley, love you lots), she was very nice and always came over at the right times.The dessert was amazing, just the right temperature and everything.And lastly, when the bill came, we didn’t have to remortgage the house.

Went to The Howgate on Wednesday and had the meal deal (two meals for £8.99 each and dessert at £1.99 each). Was very pleasant. The surroundings are quiet and fairly plush and the food is excellent. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Had a really nice time.

We called in twice during a recent stop at the Premier Inn next door. Sunday evening drinks and a snack were served up quickly by hard working friendly staff. We enjoyed breakfast here the morning after with everything cooked to order and brought to your table. This covid safe measure also reduces the temptation to over eat (as I'm usually keen on more than one visit to a buffet).The one way system in place works very well even when the place was quite busy for breakfast. Staff were pretty good on both occasions and all worked hard to look after customers.

In difficult times they did a very good job. Highly Covid compliant and di a very good organising job. Food for dinner and for breakfast was at the usual standad good and basic. Everything prepared and presented well. The staff did a superb job and were certainly being worked hard. Well done

Had a weekend visiting friends and family. The staff were all nice and friendly made us feel very welcome. The food was brilliant. we had brilliant time while we were here. We would definitely be back and would definitely recommend.

Called in for a quick bite to eat after visiting friends and weren’t disappointed , everything was clean and looked COVID safe , staff were excellent and couldn’t do enough for us , food was very tasty couldn’t fault it would definitely recommend and would return in the future !

its just a shame this virus is around the surroundings are quiet and peaceful it was fabulous for a 4 day break

We ate here for two breakfasts and two evening meals whilst staying at the premier you did have to book, I can honestly say that it was excellent the food was very good pub grub the plates were hot keeping the food hot , the Covid organisation was great and well explained. All the staff were very welcoming and under present circumstances I think they all gave great service especially Lynn who served us with a smile. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, the only down side is the outside could do with a facelift.

We used this restaurant for breakfast and evening meals as we were staying at the attached Premier Inn for the weekend. We purchased the all you can eat English breakfast as part of the hotel accommodation package. I did see signs around the hotel saying that you would have to pre-pay and book for breakfast, so I don't think they were accepting walk-ins. You can also book a discounted meal package to include your evening meals, but we didn't do this. The restaurant take Blue Light cards so it worked out cheaper on this occasion to use this instead. The restaurant was well signed in regards to the Covid one-way system, and the tables were very well spaced out with some having signs on saying they weren't in use. You didn't have to wear a mask but we were one of the few people who did until we got to our table. The breakfast was very good. As soon as you sit down they take your order, including hot drink, juices, cereals, full English menu ingredients. You have to wait for your cups and side plates then you can get up and help yourself to hot drinks, the toaster machine, and separately wrapped pastries. The evening meal can either be booked at reception, the restaurant itself or online. Although the menu is somewhat reduced there was enough choice for our 3 nights. I had soup and breaded mushrooms as starters, and for mains I had chicken and ribs, steak and chicken burger. I couldn't fault the food at all, and the steak was perfectly cooked as I asked for medium rare. The restaurant was busy most nights and the staff coped well and were friendly. The menu is online too. You could also go in just to order a drink which we did and sat outside.

GREAT MEALS ALL ROUND COVERED THIS IN PREVIOUS REVIEW OF PREMIER INN. Definately would stay again. Good selection on menus not overly priced, with a warm welcome

Table booked by hotel reception. Friendly welcome in restaurant and prompt service. Even better to see the value menu , cost about the same for 3 courses for 2 than it did in another brewers for 2 main and a desert. Couldn’t fault the food or service. Covid precautions all in place. Also had breakfast which we enjoyed and found good value for money, and once again friendly staff . Would return .

Stayed in Premier Inn which is always a good stay but due to covid had a reduced menu, however the choice was very poor and over priced. Wife is a vegetarian had two choices on menu, but didn't have the veggie burgers so was left with a quoin sausage and chips for wife, No steak even though on menu for me the meat eater. So had to settle for a poor burger and chips. No English mustard for condiments either or vinegar

Had a couple of evening meals & a couple of breakfasts all of which were excellent. The staff are really friendly & helpful. The restaurant is really clean & tables well spaced. Can't wait to visit Whitehaven again.

When we visited for a quick bite we were greeted by a lovely lady but when we were waited on by a young girl her attitude was terrible but maybe she’d just had a bad day which is fair enough however running on a reduced menu my partner could only eat the lasagne once we’d placed our orders and started drinking our drinks we waited 15 mins then the server returned saying “we have no lasagne so what you having” we then asked if we could have a moment to decide and she just stomped off, then we Had to pay almost £10 for 3 soft drinks. I usually have a great experience at this place so it hasn’t put me off however I were quite disappointed.

Had breakfast for three days. Shown to seats and new procedures advised. One way system. Ordered hot food with waitress and brought juice, mugs and plates. Helped ourselves to coffee and toast/croissants in individual bags. Food was hot and you could ask for more but we never needed to. Husband really enjoyed the black pudding. Waitresses were friendly and followed all safety measures.

We ate there on Monday evening, the second time since it reopened. We had the sirloin and the rump steak, both were perfectly cooked and very tasty, something that you don't usually expect from a chain restaurant. The only thing that would have made the meal perfect would have been real chips. Not the fault of the howgate as company menue.As always Louise was very friendly, helpful and efficient, she offered great advice to my wife regarding the gin selection. My wife now has a new favourite gin that she hadn't tried before recommend by Louise.The hygiene procedures was carried out well and everything regarding this is pointed out on arrival.Well done Howgate

Finally been able to go to the Howgate. Greeted by Helen who did a fantastic job explaining all the new procedures. Food was brilliant as always even at full price. I know people only visit due to vouchers but we will always comes even at full price. Now really good you get served from the table you can sit and relax and enjoy your evening. Keep up the hard work in these awful times. Well done Howgate.

Always great service and fantastic value. We have missed the Howgate and were welcomed back by the friendly staff who took great care in making us feel very safe. We enjoyed our favourite dishes once again that are very reasonably priced.

My brothers & I met up for a get together so the 6 of us met in Brewers Fayre as some of them were staying at the Premier Inn next door. The menu is very extensive & it took us quite a while to choose our food! I had scampi & chips, some had the beef wrap one had a mixed grill & one chose the vegetarian halloumi & chips. After a wait the food arrived and it was great, although the beef was a little dry we got some extra gravy and it was fine. My scampi was great, crispy on the outside & perfectly cooked inside & the chips were some of the best I've had. The staff were all friendly & professional. All in a great evening.

Staff at this place are really lovely, it gets busy and I see why. The food is good and reasonably priced, no fuss but well cooked and tasty! Book a table in advance otherwise you might not get one!

Waiting over an hour, place was empty and half the menu wasn’t on. Food terrible, felt sorry for waitresses having to work in the place

My wife and I regularly go to the Howgate for lunch. There is a wide variety on the menu and it is always hot and well presented. However, I must cogratulate the establishment for employing two excellent waitresses called Louise and Nadine; they are always helpfull and very welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble for them

After looking at some of these reviews I wonder if I was at the same place, the service was slow to say the least, we had to ask for our food, as we had been in the place for an hour before anything arrived, when it did arrive, some potatoes were sent back as they looked green. I had Beef & Doom Bar Pie and at £11.29 was vastly overpriced, for a bit of generic pie, with green beans and a few chips.

A group of 6 friends meet once per month to enjoy excellent food and unlimited beverages Nive friendly staff especially Louise and Nadine, Well done everyone.

Excellent food, good prices and brilliant service yet again ..... grateful thanks to Louise & Co. See you soon guys

We always find that the service is great. Lynn, in particular, remembers our preferences and is always pleased to see us, as we are pleased to see her. It makes a difference!The food is usually great. On the rare occasion that there is an issue, it is always sorted. Its always best to speak up at the time, rather than leave a bad review. Been in quite a few Brewers Fayre places. This is the best due to to the quality of the staff.

We visited the Howgate again on the 28th January for a family meal, we were greeted and shown to our table by the Duty manager, the atmosphere was good and all the staff were friendly and helpful, I had the smothered chicken which was served hot and very tasty, I cannot fault the Howgate we visit here regular with family and always enjoy the food etc, we will definitely re visit soon

Called in to this Brewers Fayre on route to hospital appointment for quick bite of lunch. Visited in the past as part of family group.Arrived at 11:50am and found staff huddled in a corner having a break? I asked if lunch was available ans was told we don't serve untill 12, they then went back to chatting. I enquired whether we could have a coffee and wait until 12? They said yes and I asked for two lattes. I was told I had to pay first for two mugs and then it was self service from a machine.The place looked superficially clean but had a smell of old cooking aromas, sort of greasy.We ordered two lunches at 12 and these were served quite quickly to our table. Both meals ok but not exciting and expensive for what they were. I had pulled beef Yorkshire rap which came with a few chips and gravy (£10.49), my wife had smothered chicken burger which came with chips and some watery coleslaw (£11.49).I visited the toilets which were very scruffy with streaks on all walls and a threadbare torn carpet in the entrance with a hole in it!Overall, we chose this location as it was en-route and being a national chain brand thought we would get an average meal quickly at a fair price in clean, friendly, pleasant surroundings.The restaurant is in dire need of refurbishment, get your act together Whitbread. Just because we are in Cumbria doesn't mean we should get lower standards than the rest of the UK.

Enjoyed a good meal here with my wife, food was lovely, no complaints, so glad we saw this place on our journey home this evening

We visit weekly and the food never fails to please us. The atmosphere is very friendly but more importantly the staff go above and beyond to ensure we have an enjoyable experience. We particularly would like to thank Louise and Nadine who have such a caring attitude and have looked after us so well for several years now.

We visited for a nye meal, we were greeted by Dave and shown to our table, our meals were ordered and then brought to us, by Lynn, the food quality was excellent , everything was hot and tasty, on 2 occasions we were asked if everything was OK and did we require any drinks & then desserts.

As promised in my last review i have returned to try the food.

Cracking service all the staff are top notch would definitely recommend an will definitely be back thanks for the service guys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I had xmas dinner at howgate. I must say how very good it was and the service 1st class. Louise H looked after us so very well. We be back for more.

Been visiting here for years, but unfortunately on this occasion it might be our last.

Lovely warm welcome from Lynn & Co. Glass of wine, Mac& Cheese just what’s needed after a hard day at work.The value for money and service is the best around.

Called in on Monday lunch time for a quick pint having my shopping cut short due to the weather. Its a bit since I've been in here and reading mixed reviews i wasn't sure what to expect.

Regular visitors to this restaurant always willing to accommodate to dietary requirements. Friendly staff nadine and Louise and the manager. When ordering I always love a steak and have it blue and my god they cooked it the right way that chef Craig knows how to cook a steak. The whole meal was great also. Great environment for a good natter with the unlimited drink options.

Warm, friendly and helpful staff, willing to accommodate dietary requirements, compliments to the Chef Craig, lovely food arrived at table promptly and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back, especially like the unlimited drinks option.

We were staying at the premier inn next door to this restaurant for my wife's birthday.whilst there we visited this restaurant on four occasions whether it was for breakfast,lunch or an evening meal.Ben the manager and Megan the team leader were excellent very welcoming and made you feel at home.The food was very tasty and well presented each time we visited and always hot.we would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

Usual great food and service, busy night but still no waiting. Lynn,Ben and everyone are always friendly, good hot food, great value for money, we will definitely return soon.

Visited yesterday for breakfast and the food was delicious. Great value for money too. You can have as much cooked breakfast to order as you want and then as much as you want from the continental breakfast selection for one price. I was stuffed!

Good staff good management team seriously let down by senior management as building is in serious need of a refurbish inside and out and staff are trying there hardest.

Husband, 5, and I tried to visit for a late-ish dinner. When we arrived, we were asked if we had booked (we hadn’t, because we didn’t know what time we were going to arrive after a loooooong drive). When I said no, the greeter gave an enormous, theatrical sigh, but lead us through the (half empty) restaurant to a table. Sat down to peruse the menus... hubby had to go back to the greeter to ask for a children’s menu for 5, who by this time was starting to grizzle. After he came and sat back down, we remembered seeing an advert outside for a deal-of-the-day type affair, but there were no details anywhere to be seen in the restaurant. Would have asked but wasn’t sure if this would produce another snarky comment from the greeter, and there seemed to be no-one else around. Maybe she was overrun and understaffed, and having a bad day, but we decided to leave before we’d ordered anything because it felt like everything was going to be such a drama.

very lovely interior, made it very cosy despite it being horrible, raining weather outside! the food was delicious, and very quick service as well! had reasonably nice views from the window seats (cow fields), and the staff were pretty friendly. all in all, a very nice trip and would go again- the menu has a brilliant variety, along with good deals.

Had a lovely night out with friends at Howgate. Lynne and Co. always make us welcome and give great service. The food was good, always get a nice glass of wine and the atmosphere is friendly,what more could you want!!

Came in for lunch with a few friends, which was our first visit to the Brewers Fayre. We were greeted by a lovely young lady and taken to our seats. Very optional menu and portion size is also very generous. All staff were very welcoming. The bar was reasonably priced and had a wide selection. We would like to say a special thank you to David, who gave us information on the local area. Would absolutely recommend.

Stayed at the premier inn Breakfast was just ok but the place is very run down and needs a coat of paint and a good clean

On arrival had a couple of problems with the room which reception quickly sorted. The Inn is about five minutes drive from the centre and costs about a fiver in a taxi.

Me and hubby decided to go out for tea tonight so we went to the brewers fayre howgate, and we had the burrito bowl with chicken and it was lovely and all the staff as always were lovely especially Ben who always makes you welcome. Defo recommend

Decor was pleasant but typical of a large chain.

Visited as part of a group of ten having completed the Coast to Coast on ancient mopeds. Brilliant service, particularly from Lynn. Food was of a good standard and competitively priced. Several, including me, had the haddock and it was huge and piping hot.

Always a great meal and very friendly staff. Lynne and Ben are always extremely helpful and the food was excellent as usual. Just the latest of many visits, as always for great food and friendly atmosphere.

Having looked at the menu online, and discovering that battered halloumi was available, which was suitable for vegetarians and a particular favourite of mine, I decided to take advantage of the buy 1 get 1 free offer I had received. I had not visited this pub for a substantial amount of time as the meals had been so poor on the last visit. I was hoping things had improved since last time.

We use The Howgate frequently for a midday meal and popped in on Wednesday 3 July 2019 for lunch.

We had dinner as well as breakfast at this restaurant.It was tasty enough,but not special in any way

We often eat there as it's good value for money. A few days ago we ordered our meals for the three of us, mine was gammon which was more fat than meat. I sent it back for a replacement which meant that I had to eat my replacement meal after my family had finished their meals. The manager was very sorry about this and waved the cost of the meals. Very good customer service as well as value for money food. Well done Howgate.

Ordered sausages/mash in large Yorkshire pudding, was disappointed with the content. It was stated there was caramalised onion, which there was but very little, about 5/6 small strands. The worst problem for me was the gravy as it was so watery where a thick gravy would have been so much nicer! Also my fork had a twisted tine and the knife wouldn't cut through the sausage skin or yorkshire pudding. I know a lot of people who go regularly so maybe I chose the wrong dish although there wasn't much else I liked on the menu.

Visited Monday 13th May for lunch - Louise was her usual wonderful self ably supported by other Staff members. Double smothered chicken with sweet potato fries to eat, very enjoyable, chicken cooked to perfection. Two of us ate, 2 mains, 2 desserts, 1 coffee and a soft drink all for £22, you can't go wrong; and it's a lovely atmosphere!

We stayed at the Premier Inn for a couple of nights and our two children loved getting up for the breakfasts at the Brewer's Fayre restaurant. The staff were wonderful and warm and very thoughtful. Pauline stood out in particular, nothing was too much trouble and she was a huge hit with our girls, entertaining them and being bubbly and kind.

Had a late dinner here on Friday night. Was shown to a table by very pleasant and attentive staff. Service was quick and the food well priced. I opted for gammon steak which was perfect. Great value and well presented.

Great service by Ben and Lynne as usual. We tried some of the new food on the menu, which was excellent. Yet another enjoyable evening in a comfortable atmosphere with great food!

Visited the Howgate yesterday for tea,2 meals for £8:99 between 12 and 6 Monday to Friday. We both had Lasagne which was delicious,piping hot and tasty. Lovely friendly staff and nice atmosphere,well done team
