Poor poor service. We had to wait at least 45 minutes for a light snack. We were forgotten and had to ask where our food was.

A delicious meal for all of us with no complaints. We were ravenous after a hectic day out and the burgers with chips filled us all up and the prices were very reasonable. I had the big stack and at £12.50 was great value. Had to wait a while but the wait was worth it. The sevice was very friendly.

Great food, but they need to have an app for ordering food from the table like other pubs have. Though I am fully mobile, I attended most recently with a large disability group I belong to as a consequence of my high functioning autism, and some of the other members are not so mobile. I like to use an app to order because it is convenient and I love technology, but for some of my friends including in this group, it would be a lifeline.

I am trying not to be negative, but overall our visits to this pub were very poor.It was really bad. Huge waits, orders missing, orders forgotten and wrong orders. Literally everything was poor.However please can I say this was not the employee’s fault..To have 3 staff - meet and greet, show you to the table, serve and take orders, run the bar, provide table service, deliver orders, clear tables and then to clean down everything. It was literally impossible for them. They were literally running around and looked so lost. I felt so bad for them, they did not stop.I totally understand the Covid situation, but running on a major skeleton crew you are literally giving and providing the customers with an awful and terrible experience.The senior management need to get on the front line and support the troops. They were digging out blind and they deserve a huge pant on the back.Please if you read this and you visit. If you see the same please review.Let’s get these boys and girls some support. It wasn’t right what I witnessed this weekend.

Consistently poor.I had the misfortune of being sent here every day with a meal deal voucher given by my workplace. On arrival for breakfast or dinner the greeting was slow and on occasion we were treated as an inconvenience depending on which staff member it was.Often seated next to untidy workstations or generally grubby tables. The menu was limited and lacking barely any fresh produce. We even took our own salad in a box to eat with some of the fried food one evening, the server didn’t even react to this.I understand the difficult situation that COVID-19 poses to us all but hearing the staff moan on about how uncomfortable the masks are to wear and saying to each other how fed up they are from having to give the customers coffee and drinks rather than them helping themselves was not necessary. Yes they are uncomfortable and yes we are all fed up with the times we are living in but this is the hospitality industry you are working in, at least pretend to be welcoming! Also it was noticed that for some reason some staff member was wearing a visor instead which provides no protection from saliva or sweat which was clearly splattered in front of her mouth, then to see her regularly rub her face with both hands (not wash or sanatize) then touch peoples plates/drinks/cutlery etc was disgusting, thankfully not ours or I would have said something. At breakfast on Thursday we listened to the staff talking loudly how they suspect another staff member of stealing from the bar as almost a whole bottle of Tanqueray Gin has gone missing, plus they discussed that same staff member using customers meal deal un claimed food items and processing them then taking them home... the whole place is shabby, the toilets smell terrible, some of the staff were polite and helpful, others not at all. On Friday our breakfast was ordered but it took so long and we needed to get to work so we left, no staff questioned it and quite frankly were relieved to not have to return.

We have been visiting the Weather Vane for several few years over which time it has got better and better. The staff are always friendly even when they are busy. Last night it was Jen, we had not met her before but she was very friendly and attentive making sure everything was O.K.With the Covid restrictions the menu is a bit limited, but they still do chicken and ribs. The chicken is not the usuaul bone in item but a boneless fillet, however the ribs are just as good as ever. I reckon they are the best ribs in Bracknell, the meat literally falls off the bone and the sauce is a nice flavour, not the imitation smokey flavoured glue that others use. There is a new menu soon, I hope it includes their midday fish and chips deal for two which is also very good. When the bone in chicken returns I think they will deserve five stars again for the chiken and ribs.

Very Poor visit, The Food was Fine, but the service and attitude was really bad. The drinks we ordered were not correct, and no-one bothered to tell us this, they just tried to slide 'alternatives' by us - perhaps hoping we didn't notice. The meal my wife ordered was missing some of the items described on the menu, so much so that the chef came out asking for a menu ( presumably he doesn't know what he should be dishing up.) The manager was very surly, the Bill came to £27.26 ( we decided not to chance a desert ), when I told him I was inclined to offer no more then £25.oo, he told us to keep the food voucher (this was an Anniversary gift from Friends ) and he would void the bill. He told us 'Don't come back'. You'd think he would be better served righting errors then having a go at the customers. Still - we won't be going back. The attitude we faced was not what i expected. PLUS, the bill he originally presented had desserts and Drinks - none of which we ordered. Utter Shambles.

The only thing acceptable about our visit for dinner was the charming manager, David. To be presented with a menu that did not show any prices and then to have Covid blamed is unacceptable. The Chicken Tikka and Caesar salad were both small in quantity and mediocre in taste. I understand that if you arrive before 6 pm there are special deals available. Breakfast was equally disappointing. Avoid.

Before I start I understand that times are a little different with this pandemic BUT..... service was very poor.We had a family day out bowling then booked a table for lunch the first time we have been out for a long time due to covid.We were greeted and escorted to our table by a member of staff that sounded and acting like she wanted to be any where but there.We were then greeted by another member of staff looked to be a manager and he took our order very quickly.Food came out and it was very enjoyable can't fault the food at all.Service then went down hill they left us in the corner "NO" check back and took them 45 minutes to take away our empty plates.We received our desserts after waiting again another 20 minutesFor them to brought to our table.We were then left in the corner waiting again for them to clear our table so we could grab the bill and leave......Took so long for anyone to even come near our table I decided to go to the bar myself and ask for it.The table next to us and across from us were also waiting a long time too.Service was very poor and to be honest it didn't seem to be that busy what with socail distancing and a handful of locals around the bar area.Such a shame our experience ended this way as you started so well.

We decided to book a family meal out at the Weather Vane as we were staying at the adjacent Premier Inn, on first appearance it seems like a lovely place, however when we were seated and ordered food this was not the case, some of the staff did not feel it necessary to be representing the restaurant chain with correct uniform or manners, I ordered the ceasar salad and when it turned up half of the ingredients were missing, I sent it back and asked for it to be corrected, what eventually came out to me was no better, it tasted off and the grilled chicken was cold, I ordered a refillable drink only to find out the machine was not dispensing ice which I was told it did along with the drinks being flat and not fizzy, overall it wasn't a pleasant experience and I would not recommend it, as the staff also spent most of the time chatting away and delayed serving the customers.

Stayed at the premier inn and the weather vane is the go to restaurant attached to it. The food for dinner was lovely... ribs especially, stayed for breakfast too food was ok... but the service was extremely slow... they needed more staff to concentrate on smaller area of customers, we had to chase up the staff for our first drinks orders and then for waiting food. Can understand the limitations due to covid but we’ve not had this experience at other premier inn restaurants. Also non of the staff seen- waiters, waitresses and housekeeping in the weather vane were wearing masks!!!

Arrived early for breakfast around 8:30am. Had already booked and paid through the Premier inn. Once in we waited a very long time to be shown to our seats. I then asked for a highchair. The lady said she is very busy but will bring one when she can... to be honest not very acceptable with an 18 month old. I put her on the chair and tried to keep her entertained without her getting down. I turned my back for a second and she fell off! Not impressed that still no highchair after 30 minute wait. My partner ended up searching for one himself. After 40 minutes I went to find a member of staff and ask for a refund so I could do elsewhere. She said I would have to go through premier inn or they would rush my order through.I chose them to rush the order through. The lady was extremely apologetic and I felt very sorry for her as there were only 2 members of staff there!! Once ordered we helped ourself to tea and coffee.... well due to coronavirus you can't just help yourself to cups etc you need to be handed them... no member of staff there handing out things. Long wait again!After an hour we got our food which was pleasant to be fair. I asked for milk for the tea and she said she would bring it straight over. She never returned. I didnt raise it again as the poor woman was rushed off her feet and obviously forgot! Just under 2 hours we were there for breakfast!

In the area for a visit to Legoland and staying at the premier inn. Jen at the Weather Vane came to our rescue when we literally couldn’t find a single place in the whole of Bracknell to have dinner due to the government discount scheme that is on at the moment. Something we never even considered. With two young children and the prospect of grabbing something from the local supermarket, my husband left our number with Jen on the off chance of a cancellations. Just as we had tried every other alternative, the phone rang and Jen had managed to secure us a table. Honestly can’t thank her enough. The kids were getting so restless. Just had a lovely meal and the brownie was delicious. Sometimes a little kindness goes a long way. Thank Jen. We really appreciate what you did.

Ate here using the ‘eat out to help out’. We’ve dined here for many years, but not been in for a while. So organised regarding Covid regulations. Meals were hot, fresh and and tasted delicious - clearly hadn’t been sitting on the hot shelf waiting for other meals to be prepped either. Honestly the best meals we’ve had here. Outstanding friendly service too. We will be back. Mixed grills and chicken and bacon Caesar salads were what we ate and we’d definitely recommend them.

Fair play, she was the most helpful, attentive waitress I think I’ve ever had. We were probably a nightmare of a party to serve but she went above and beyond. She was very friendly and chatty and she made our meal a whole lot nicer. Can’t fault the food, it was lovely and there were no mistakes with our order. Would def recommend eating here.

We have been eating here regularly for just one month. Never had a bad meal and the staff run around surprisingly cheerfully given their limited numbers. More often than not only one till is in use to take orders for the whole restaurant and those wanting just a (not so quick) drink. The staff are friendly, efficient and apologetic as paying customers queue.Seriously, the management need to do something. Reward and promote your hardworking staff, employ more of them, of the same standard. If that doesn’t work Brewers Fayre replace your manager!What keeps us coming back? .. for now? The menu is wide and the food good value, and well prepared 95% of the time. Staff work hard to please, it’s just hard to relax and enjoy when others are obviously run off their feet ...The discounts help, but things need to change, soon!Well done to the front of house staff, you deserve awards and recognition...

Took the family out for a meal tonight 28/02/20 and Dave one of the management went out of his way to meet our needs and was very helpful with giving us a healthy meal instead of palming me off! The food came out nice and hot and when my son had no chicken meatballs that was meant to come with his pasta dish Katie apologised and went and got him his chicken meatballs! When it came to our puddings again Dave went out of his way to please our son who wanted doughnuts but also wanted strawberries and not the chocolate sauce so he catered for him and our son was very happy and pleased!

Forget blamng the staff trying to do their job when massively under resourced. The mangers are totally invisible. The bin outside the entrance was overflowing for 2 days, even after I mentioned it to the staff. 25 minutes to get served a beer. Horrible food, no napkins bought out with the cutlery. Staff standing about polishing spoons instead of clearing tables. Saw a table not cleared for 2 hours. ubbish on the floor. If you value your stomach, walk down to the BP garage and get a pasty. I feel really sorry for familys that have booked in to the premier inn and who think they might get a half decent meal, absolutely no chance. This place is for the clinically obese who would eat themselves given the chance. Chnge the manager and you might get it back as it used to be.

We were staying at the Premier Inn on site so we called to eat before checking in. On arrival we were told that there was a problem with the till and they could only accept cash which wasn’t a problem. The girl taking meal orders was rushed off her feet and not only taking orders on the till she had to write each order out by hand. Two managers were walking in and out of the kitchen but never came to help serve with meal orders. The pub was very short on front of house staff. Our meals arrived extremely quickly but were only lukewarm. The food can’t have been cooked fresh in the time it took for them to be brought to us (less than 5 minutes). There was no staff around to complain to only the girl taking food orders. The portions were small and we were still hungry so we decided to have a dessert. I had to queue for 20 minutes to be served and then wait a further 25 minutes for the dessert to be brought out. During the time waiting to be served the amount of people that got fed up and walked out was shocking. This experience put us off having breakfast during our stay at the hotel and we found alternative places to eat during our stay.

Floors are filthy and walls and chairs splattered with stains. It doesn’t look like any maintenance has happened in years. And don’t get me started on the state of the toilets!

Won’t be returning here in a hurry. It’s unorganised chaos! The pub is understaffed, with huge queues at the bar and long wait times on food.The pub looks like it could do with a good clean and a refurbishment. The area around the refill drinks machine could do with a good scrub.Chefs could also be heard shouting from the kitchen at the back of the pub, it really isn’t professional. There’s also no hot buffet for the breakfast like in most Whitbread establishments.

Definitely will not return in a hurry. Slow service. Cardboard resembling fish. No taste. Dry as a bone. Roast potatoes had never seen the inside of an oven and were partially boiled and hard. Absolute waste of good money. Nothing nearby though if staying in the premier inn next door so they gave a captive market and therefore don't need to give a damn... and clearly they don't........ don't bother is my advice. Don't enter. Don't order.

Sorry to be writing this after giving it very high reviews. The place has gone downhill constant new staff, only two of the same staff that continue to care, food standards low and no atmosphere now. Sorry but very disappointed in what this place has become even more so after it being one of my favorite places. ACT NOW, BEFORE YOU LOSE ALL YOUR REGULARS.

i have stayed in a lot of premier inns around the country but this must be the worst pub next to the hotels they had no staff we had to wait 45 min for a drink the tables were full of plates and glasses they only had 1 till working for food so we had to wait 1 hour to get served for food in the end we walked out and went somewhere else

Very busy for a Monday & indifferent counter service - they all walked away talking when I reached the bar - but one woman actually seemed bothered about trying to make things go right with the service - which made the place seem tolerable. The food was cooked ok but these sort of menus are never awe-inspiring are they? However, the place itself needs an upgrade, so please note that Brewers Fayre! Dirty upholstery, some of it damaged, made it difficult to find a place to sit; tables looked dubious, & it's far too crowded. The quiz on that ridiculous advertising screen is also wrong - the rose is the symbol of England, not the UK. Get a grip of the place please, Brewers Fayre & also get your online menu to be the same as those in your pubs!

Horrific service. People waiting 40 minutes to be seen at the till. No manager seems to oversee anything. Don’t come here! Food is below average.

Good value, well cooked food. The deals are excellent. The fish and chicken dishes cooked very well, not dry and over cooked like elsewhere. Was pleasantly surprised for the price. It was order at the bar but the staff were all pleasant, friendly and efficient. The drinks range is limited, but other than that a great value for money experience...

Four adults and 2 children visited for Sunday lunch. We were turned away due the the fact we were not booked. We were advised that they were short staffed and the restaurant was not taking walk ins. The restaurant was empty. Never again.

As much as I can’t stand these places, and am forced to use them with Premier Inn meal deals,this place was fine. Food ok and service jolly good.

Me and my wife came to the establishment for breakfast. The level of service we received from louise was outstanding, she was friendly kind and couldn't do enough for us. She is an asset to the company 11/10 would go again.

Me, my partner and my two daughters went here for dinner whilst staying at the premier inn next door. We wanted something quick for the children as we’d been driving around for hours visiting family.

I had pre booked a table for dinner I am so glad I did as was very busy. The evening meal was great and didn’t have to wait that long. Breakfast on Christmas Eve the booked breakfast was not very hot but other than that everything was great. Also cooked my mums gluten free toast perfectly. Was a very nice touch with the Christmas activity books thanks.

Much better last year. Went with group Christmas party. Service terrible. Chicken tough. Very disappointing. No apologies given. Some people waited for ages. No staff ever asked if food was ok. People waited for cutlery, others waited for 1st course whilst others had 2nd course.

I went for a buffet breakfast last weekend with my partner and it was extremely busy in the morning. We were concerned that the food would be limited due to the busy period but the staff done a great job at topping it up. We could see they were stressed but did well under pressure while giving great service.

After checking into the Bracknell Central Premier Inn next door, we attempted to have a meal at the Brewers Fayre Weather Vane. There were five or six lone customers rattling around in the enormous bar area with a similar number of members of staff to serve them. Eventually a member of staff came to see us at the restaurant entrance and told us that there was no food available for one hour. We hadn’t booked a table as we had only arrived at the hotel 30 minutes before after working all day and as the car park was half empty and it was a quiet Wednesday evening we were left wondering what the problem was but no explanation was offered. We left and with difficulty in that area went to find somewhere else to eat. All in all a very disappointing attempt to eat there.

First brought out Chicken Goujons, sent back, then out came the ordered chicken wings encrusted in some sort of oily breadcrumb parcel! Main course served while still eating starter. Main course was a sad excuse for scampi and chips, without tartare sauce as promised. Staff had disappeared by now. Chips looked and tasted second hand, peas nuked in microwave! Truly Awful Food will not eat here again.

Went here on Sunday at 7pm and it wasn't too busy so got seated after a few minutes. We ordered the full rack of ribs and rib eye steak, it was on our table with 15 minutes and the steak was cook to perfection ( medium rare) see picture, and tasted really good. The ribs were very tasty aswell. We also had 2 desserts which was great and had 1 drink. After using tastecard to get my 2 for 1, it cost less than £25, great value meal, plus the staff were polite and fast. I would recommend this place anyone and especially people with tastecard.

Being a local I have to say this place has got better over the years. Was there at the weekend with my kids. Food was amazing, homely, good portions, great value for money. Also the service is outstanding. Our waitress especially was very friendly, helpful and genuinely a lovely person. Her name was lucy. All in all I highly recommend it and we will definitely be returning. Keep up the good work.

Visited twice for evening meal and for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. We had travelled down from Newcastle for Ascot and were staying next door at the Premier Inn so the first night just went there for convenience. Very surprised by the great selection of food on offer. All four of us had different meals and all were very good. Someone mentioned vouchers so I quickly scrolled through voucher code sites and managed to locate one for Brewers Fayre which covered meals in October. Would definitely do that before we go back as the savings were substantial. Breakfast were also really good. Good selection for both Continental and English. On the Sunday the eggs were cooked as you ordered. I had poached which were very good. We had intended eating out on the Saturday night but ended up returning here as it was so good

Restaurant smells old. Service was really slow. Food was bad, but we were so tired it was eat or go hungry before sleeping in the Premier Inn. Car Park had many signs warning of Car Thieves Operate in this Area and Police Hotspot etc, I was genuinely a little nervous parking my car there.

A nice enough meal but service was lacking. Didn't feel welcomed at all. Reluctant to ask staff for anything, had to, not usual way when you eat out.

Just had Sunday lunch here and we loved it. Restaurant was busy and buzzy but the staff were still really friendly and efficient. The camembert was excellent as was my husband's pork belly roast. My fillet steak was a little overcooked but was very tasty nonetheless. It was our first visit but we will be back.
