Thank God that this place is closing. The (front of house and waiting on) staff have always been great (attentive, hard-working, friendly), but the Irish "manager" was permanently simply dreadful.

Totally Appalled by the treatment and respect shown by the young so called manager who refused to serve us and I would think needs to perhaps rethink his employment path .... Sad to think the art of diplomacy has missed generation ...

This place has really gone down hill, on the day we went, the service was crap! We chose a table and I asked for a cloth to give it a wipe, the bloke on duty said why don't you sit somewhere else? We wanted to sit by the window rather than in a dark corner. The food wasn't too good either, soggy hash browns, soggy black pudding, very little fruit and very little juice..overall it was a big let down compared to the numerous occasions we've been there before.

Absolutely no words. In and out within 10 minutes. So busy, only one member of staff who was extremely stressed. He forgot to show us our table and walked into the kitchen on the way so we were left not knowing what was going on. Walked past people saying the food was stale and there was nothing. No food out, no staff members, no milk except a carton out of date. Lots of people walking out. We decided to not bother on Father’s Day. Gutted, so we left.

Stayed at the premier inn next door and bought the meal deal. All I can say is that the twirl of hay is seriously understaffed at breakfast. 40 minutes for the food to arrive when it did it wasn't as ordered, tomatoes missed, eggs missed, it was over cooked (crispy and hard) and barely warm The staff had no idea of table numbers and were looking all over to get the orders to the right customer. Also no tables had been cleared from previous diners so eating in an unclean area. Complained to the Premier inn who refunded the breakfast in full and we weren't the only ones to complain that morning. No issues with the premier inn. Sainsbury's is next door I'd use them in future for breakfast.

Service excellent by Jade, bryani and the manager, who ran around and worked very hard. Jade gave amazing service, her manner was attentive and friendly.

The Advertised meal was NOT what we received. It cost close on £50 per person and a ready meal from Asda would have been more enjoyable. It was a thrown together reheated frozen meal with paltry portions.Needless to say we complained to the staff and Brewer's Fayre. Even that was a poor response. Get it right - look after your paying customers otherwise you will all be looking for a job.Forget this restaurant if you want to hold a special occasion.

Food was very good, the fish in particular was very nice. They were very attentive with switching to suit taste. Service was not good. Staff were friendly, but were obviously overrun. We had to ask for refills multiple times as it didn’t come within a 30 minute period and then we ended up having about 3 drinks delivered at 1 time each. Many tables around us were also very agitated with the same issues.

Evening meal for two, we are currently staying at the nearby Premier Inn and took the opportunity to book a meal deal with the Brewers Fayre Twirl of Hay. We both had a main course and desert with a complimentary drink and were very pleased with the quality and quantity of food served. I thoroughly recommend the doom bar pie with mash and vegetables. My partner equally enjoyed her vegetarian chilli con carne. We would like to say thank you to the staff that served us, especially Jade who was our waitress for evening. She couldn’t be more helpful nor accommodating which made our evening complete. Many thanks D Underwood and R Greaves.

Solo doy un 3 estrellas porque 2. 5 no está disponible.Tuvimos 4 desayunos, 2 tés y bebidas 3 noches. Fueron flexibles con los horarios de entrada. Los desayunos eran adecuados, probablemente un 3. 5 estrellas.El personal fue amable y acogedor. Debido a covid, era solo servicio de mesa, a veces era difícil llamar su atención. Estaban ansiosos por el último pedido a las 915 pm.Había una miembro del personal (posiblemente llamada Alex) que era extremadamente amable, habladora y parecía dirigir el espectáculo.Desafortunadamente, la comida de la noche era inferior a la media, probablemente un 2 estrellas. Claramente en microondas y lento para llegar a la mesa. Pedí salchichas y pudín de Yorkshire y el pudín y puré estaban fríos. Luego pedí más salsa y eso solo estaba tibio. Otra noche me dieron una hamburguesa a la barbacoa y casi no había salsa. Mi mamá pidió un jamón y era pequeño (lo suficientemente grande para un niño de 4 años).Tenían una televisión y cuando se les preguntó si la tendrían encendida para el partido de fútbol Inglaterra-Gales, no tenían ni idea. Probablemente habría tenido más costumbre. Muchos clientes comieron, tomaron 1/2 bebidas y simplemente se fueron.Podría hacer mucho más con el lugar.

Nos hemos alojado en el hotel premier inn conectado varias veces antes y no tuvimos ningún problema con los Brewers Fayre anteriormente. Sé que estamos en momentos especiales en este momento con Covid y tengo todo eso en cuenta. Nuestra primera noche para cenar teníamos una mesa reservada para 7. 00 y apareció de inmediato. Nos dejaron parados desatendidos por unos buenos 5 minutos antes de que nos sentamos y nos dijeron que el camarero estaría con nosotros. 20 minutos más tarde logramos hacer un pedido de bebidas y comida al mismo tiempo, pero solo porque logramos captar la atención de la mesera, ya que ella asistía a otras mesas, cada una de las cuales había llegado después de nosotros. Luego le dijeron que acababan de vender el pescado. Eso solo dejaba hamburguesas, bistec y algunas otras opciones. Entonces cambié a scamp. Pasaron otros 10 minutos antes de que llegaran las bebidas. La comida otros 10 minutos después de eso (no es una queja tan feliz de que mi comida se cocine desde cero). Para ser justos, la comida era muy buena y sabrosa, pero me decepcionó que no tuvieran pescado cuando el menú ahora es tan reducido. Si no quiere una hamburguesa o un bistec, la elección es bastante limitada. A la mañana siguiente tomamos el desayuno por el que todavía cobran el importe total. Si quieres más té tienes que seguir pidiendo otra bolsita de té. No se le informó que aún podría obtener mermelada y mermeladas ya que la camarera lee todo lo que puede tener y usted selecciona. Tomamos nuestro té de Sainsbury's esa segunda noche ya que no queríamos la molestia de la primera noche. El segundo desayuno se empantana a lo largo de la línea de la cena de la primera noche. Tenía una mesa reservada para 9. 30 y llegó puntualmente. Nuevamente estábamos 10 minutos antes de que alguien viniera a sentarnos. Misma camarera que el día anterior. De nuevo, no se menciona si hay mermelada, etc. disponible. La única razón por la que sé que estaba disponible es que cuando estábamos a punto de irnos al final del desayuno, escuchamos a otro camarero preguntar a su mesa si querían algo con su desayuno. También nos dijeron cuando pedimos nuestro desayuno que la máquina de café estaba rota y nos dieron una bolsita de café. NO café de Costa e ilimitado como habíamos pagado. Solo una bolsita igual que en los obsequios de las habitaciones premier. No estoy contento con los precios de lo que obtuvimos. Tampoco culpo a las camareras que teníamos en general. Aunque muchas de las mesas estaban fuera de uso, solo tenían z un par de mesas esperando, limpiando mesas y recibiendo invitados. Esto hizo que el desayuno fuera especialmente incómodo ya que el personal prácticamente corría por todas partes mientras ordenaba y comía. No es un buen comienzo relajante para el día. Además, ninguno de los miembros del personal usaba máscaras faciales o seguía el sistema unidireccional. Empiece a contratar más personal para ayudar a los que ya tiene. Perdió nuestro negocio en la segunda noche y habría incluido nuestro desayuno del segundo día también si no hubiéramos pagado por adelantado.

Me alojé en el Premier Inn al lado y pagamos el desayuno caliente. Debido a Covid - 19 tuvimos que reservar una franja horaria, que era 6. 30 a. M. O pasadas las 9 a. M. Al llegar al pub, nos ignoraron durante más de 15 minutos antes de que finalmente nos llevaran a una de las muchas mesas vacías. La máquina de café dejó de funcionar a la mitad del desayuno y las "opciones" sin gluten eran tan limitadas que uno se pregunta cuál es el 8. 99 pagado. El pan de GF era absolutamente repugnante y no comestible. No recomendaría volver aquí y creo que Premier Inn debería considerar nuevamente su disponibilidad de alimentos para aquellos con sensibilidades / alergias, ya que la selección fue absolutamente impactante. Hubiera preferido visitar la casa de al lado de Sainsbury y comprar un desayuno decente por una fracción del precio.

Probablemente una de las noches más mal administradas que he visto en mucho tiempo, la única persona a la que parecía importarle parecía ser el gerente, ya que a su personal claramente no le importaba ni entendía el significado de la palabra 'hospitalidad' y, en consecuencia, corría como un pollo sin cabeza tratando de compensar su pereza.En total, esperamos la mayor parte de 2 horas por bebidas y comida fría que vinieron en oleadas en lugar de un lote de trabajo y cuando fuimos a pagar, el gerente simplemente nos dijo que no podía aceptar el pago por el mal servicio que recibimos. lo había hecho en la casa. Lo siento sinceramente por el gerente y espero que haya tenido una conversación firme con el personal sobre sus modales, ya que claramente no les importaba y no tenían miedo de demostrarlo.

I'd booked a table for dinner two months in advance so you can imagine after queuing to get in I was told computer error - the computer had given my booking a table number that didn't exist you can imagine my thoughts. We were eventually seated and told we had limited time. SUGGESTION FOR MANAGEMENT - CHECK ALL BOOKINGS IN ADVANCE SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TO SOMEONE ELSE.My son ordered steak I had the only vegan choice.Hungry, so we ate, my son said his steak was nice, my sloppy burger wasn't. It was, just, well, tasteless slop. Pudding was nice, wine and soft drinks good.I cancelled my evening booking for the next day.We returned the next morning and queued again (booked in advance)The continental breakfast was great, cook your own toast, get your own hot water etc. Great.Even with Covid rules surely tables booked in advance would be prepped in readiness? Service in this pub depends on who you get waiting your table. They are all really nice and tend to look after one who needs constant supervision - I was bought marmalade to have on my porridge lolololIf your vegetarian or vegan don't eat here - choices are poor. We ask head office to re-think their menu.I felt that overall the staff were doing their best but seemed very stressed during the evening shift the first time we went in. Morning shift they seemed more relaxed, more efficient.Management. 6/10Efficiency. 6/10Staff. 9/10Menu. 3/10Cook. 8/10

We visited the restaurant today expecting problems due to the virus. What we found was just the opposite The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant was busy but we were dealt with almost as quickly as it used to be before the virus struck. My wife and I both had the chicken curry which very tasty, hot and well presented. My son had a burger which he enjoyed. The atmosphere was very good.We were positioned away from the family area which was nice and quiet.We recently ate in Brewers Fayre in Essex and service there was bad and the food was not enjoyable. We had breakfast in a Brewers Fayre in Colchester and there the food was barely luke warm and we had to wait over one hour for service. Obviously conditions in the North are far better than in the SouthI can thoroughly recommend the Twirl of Hay in Chester. Considering we are having problems with social distancing the staff there are doing an excellent job.

Generally a pretty poor visit. We're travelling a few places in the UK, staying in Premier Inns and eating in their associated restaurants. We've had to eat the same meals for the last 3 nights because everywhere else was booked for the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. Totally understand these are strange times and it's not a great situation for anyone. However, table was really sticky.. not been cleaned for a while. For the 3rd night in a row, the restaurant didnt have my daughter's favourite meal. The tikka curry turned up with a stale naan bread that resembled card board. The popadom was so soggy, it resembled a wet tissue. Daughter's Poppin Chicken turned up with a grand total of 10 chips. When we asked if she could have a few more, the waitress got a bit stroppy, and said thats the childrens meal. This is the 3rd night she's had it.. and she certainly had a lot more in other places. The corn on the cob was cooked so badly it resembled yellow water. When we pointed this out, the waiter shrugged and said "oh, sorry". No solution suggested.. no one there looked like they wanted to be there. Awful attitudes. Real shame. We had booked for tomorrow night too, but will give it a miss and get a takeaway instead.

Even though they are only serving a small menu at the moment there was still plenty of choice and at good prices too. We ordered 2 mixed grills and were very happy with the meal presented, especially the steak which was gorgeous. The staff were very friendly and helpful and lots of things put in place cleanliness wise to keep both customers and staff safe. Would certainly go again for a meal.

Going to The Brewer's Fayre Twirl Of Hay in Chester has become a welcoming respite from the hustle and bustle of the weekly grind. Attending the second day after opening since the restrictions have been lifted: our family were looking forward to going out for a meal and the crew at the Twirl of Hay hit the nail on the head. The entire experience was beyond pleasant, the team were all so friendly, the food was crisp and fresh, the procedures of hygiene followed to a T. While the menu was reduced to ease the effort for the kitchen team the range of products available were varied enough to be of little concern and a pleasant selection to cater to a majority. The attention by the dining floor team was incredible; regular chats, check ups and queries regarding the quality of food and service was reassuring especially with the knowledge of how feedback can be used to better future dining experiences for ourselves and other customers.Tl;dr great food, great service, 10/10, I personally advocate this restaurant and its colleagues. Come on by and have a safe experience

From the food to the staff it's all amazing the kids loved the play area and it gave me and my husband time to eat in peace which we don't get very often. The menu has alot of choice especially for a picky eater like myself special mention to Carolyn, Jake, Arran and Ollie you are all amazing keep up the good work guys we will see you soon

The food was very nicely cooked, the prices were reasonable and the staff that served us were very polite and friendly. Top marks and much improved over a visit we made here a year ago.

Couldn’t tell you what the food tastes like. We reserved a table but had to ask the premier inn staff where our table was as the staff ignored everyone and just collected glasses. Even though it is relatively quiet they said it would take 40 minutes. We are still waiting and it’s been 80 minutes?!! Never had such poor service

Generally poor food, however, used to be handy for little one as she enjoyed the play area, until the management and staff became total jobsworths and ruined the literal only drawing factor of their establishment for us.

Visited for a for a quick bite to eat before heading home. We ordered ribs and a mixed grill which came out quickly. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare and it came to our table medium rare as i had asked, the eggs were runny. the chef had done an excellent job. My partners ribs were delicious. The bbq sauce in which it was coated in was tasty.

A lovely evening with great service and good food. Children’s meals were for £1 because it was between 3 & 6pm & were brilliant. A particular mention & well done to Jo in the children’s play area. You were polite, helpful and efficient. You also cared about what was going on in the play area and looked after it well.

Took 17 month old into toddlers play area . Constantly had older children coming in to use the small slide and climb over soft play items. Climbing up the slide whilst we were trying to put toddler on it. Spoke to mgt and girl at counter came to tell some children to go in large area for older children. As soon as she went back to the counter, with no visibility whatsover of toddler play area, they were back in. Absolute nightmare! Please go elsewhere as this place is not safe for your little one! No parental responsibility adhered to.

We booked again for the second year running. I arranged the annual Christmas family get together at this restaurant and again, it lived up to every expectation. My wife and I arrived early but we were let to our table and were able to relax with a drink before the others arrived. We were seated bya lady in a red top who was happy to find us a smaller table due to two that couldn't make it. Food choice and quality were first rate. Great value. Friendly place. Couldn't fault it.

My self friends and family visited the twirl of hay last Tuesday 5th November late afternoon, on arrival the bar staff were welcoming and friendly. we decided to be seated in the soft play area, i was approached by Helen the staff member with a very warm and welcoming approach. Our order was taken efficiently, and all questions were ask if we wanted any side orders etc... The only let down was the coffee station area! Clean tea spoons should be provided at ALL times not used teaspoons in dirty water for me to rinse myself. otherwise not bad overall. Thank you Helen and Barman for your lovely service.

I visit this pub once every few months for a 'grown up' meal and it's generally alright. Infact, last month I visited for a birthday celebration and I had the vegan burger which was disappointing actually and dry with too much sauce. If you want a good vegan burger, sort out a mushroom burger with lots of nice herbs as some vegans can't eat soya. You can even get vegan mayo now. Top tip: make your menu very vegan friendly and even 'accidentally vegan' and your customer base will grow quickly. Anyway on our last visit, we all ate our food - my partner had a burger and the other guest had the sausage, egg and chips combo and they enjoyed it. I think visiting in the evening far surpasses visiting in the day as it goes.

Seemed understaffed throughout our visit, not sure what was going on, but our waiter Matt handled every table with ease and made our experience not just enjoyable but unforgettable. Had a good laugh and everything was clean. Food was also delicious - pizza was huge (and very reasonably priced), sea bass cooked well too. Our only regret was that we were too full for desserts. Can’t wait to return - but we do hope they sort out the staffing issue to take the pressure off!

Got to say that this is the first time we've been in the Penny Black for several years and so we decided to call in for breakfast. Table spotless, service at bar excellent, delivery of food excellent. Breakfast consisted of bacon, sausage, hash browns, egg, beans and toast. Everything was very well cooked and tasty, the egg also had a lovely soft yolk. Also added black pudding which again was perfectly cooked. Unlimited freshly ground choice of coffee's topped off a most enjoyable breakfast.

Excellent breakfast -But that’s about as good as it gets. Random closing times. Miserable staff the draught larger is not up to standard. Not sure what this pub is trying to be.
