Brewhouse & Kitchen - Chelmsford in Chelmsford

Worth popping in. Tremendous range of beers. Good range of food and tasty too

Visited for the beer and whisky tasting, an excellent night with great service from our host Aaron. Highly recommend and good value.

Was here for a birthday, staff were very attentive and welcoming, kept making sure we were looked after. Lisa was the highlight for sure!

Went to celebrate my 18th birthday and the beer selection was amazing. The food could have been a bit better (the chicken was a bit dry and the steak slightly overcooked) but I will always recommend this pub as the service was amazing, Lisa was stunning, made sure everything was as needed brought anything extra that we requested and had an amazing sense of humour and personality, it really made the night that much better.

Gin tasting master class at Brewhouse. It was a brilliant day, tasty drinks and excellent knowledge from Aaron.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Haven't eaten here yet but will do soon

Great food, friendly staff. It's a shame the QR codes on the menus weren't working as we had to go down to the bar to order, otherwise all good and we will definitely return.

This was the second time we've had Lisa as a server, and she is phenomenal! She is fun, funny, professional and very helpful!

Me and my dad had an absolutely fantastic time on the Brewery Experience Day. Rhys, our host, was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the entire experience both fun and informative. He had a great way of explaining the brewing process in a way that was easy to follow. Tasting the different beers and getting a behind-the-scenes look at how everything works was a real highlight. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable day out.

Had a lovely meal and drinks!was good value and the staff were really friendly. Will visit again in the near future

Great place, very impressive building. Food was great and everyone we encountered working there were great and friendly. Pretty decent value for money as well! The beer was very very good

We had a great start—the person behind the bar was lovely, and the beer was spot on. We found a table and settled in for about an hour, enjoying the atmosphere. Then, out of nowhere, a staff member comes over, drops a "reserved" sign on the table, and says, "This table is reserved from now." No warning, no heads-up—just that. It really felt like he’d forgotten to reserve it earlier and was trying to cover for it. Feeling a bit awkward, we moved and grabbed a couple of chairs—some from the table we’d just been at (probably not the best idea, but we’d just been kicked off a table that wasn’t reserved when we sat down). A few minutes later, he came back and said, "They reserved the chairs too." The whole thing could’ve been handled so much better. If he’d just said, “Sorry, I forgot to mark it as reserved—would you mind moving?” I’d have been totally fine with it. But instead, he was blunt and came off as rude, which just left a sour taste after what had been a good experience up to that point.

Full of atmosphere. Very friendly helpful staff. Great beers

We had THE most fantastic day. Fab breakfast, a great lunch and around 5 pints of sampled ales and a 5ltr keg to take home. What a brilliant day! Can't wait to go back to sample the ale we 'made'. Rhys' is very knowledgeable and made the day fun. Recommend to everyone!

We visited the pub as my daughter had a dance show in a nearby theatre. We booked a table and mentioned at booking that we needed to get in and out quickly so she could get back for the evening performance. The staff were unbelievably helpful and supportive to us and the other families that came in to do the same. The food selection was ideal, for a vegetarian mum and a couple of picky kids. Thank you so much, and special shout out to Catia who helped us out in particular, although all the staff were lovely.

I wanted to take a moment to highlight the exceptional service we received from Naz during our recent visit to The Brewhouse Kitchen in Chelmsford. From the moment we arrived, Naz made us feel genuinely welcome, striking the perfect balance between friendly and professional. She was attentive without ever being intrusive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and drinks selection, and had great recommendations that really enhanced our experience. It’s rare to come across someone so naturally warm and enthusiastic—Naz truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. What stood out most was her genuine care for each guest. You could tell she takes real pride in her work, and it created such a positive, relaxed atmosphere. Her energy and customer focus are a real credit to the Brewhouse Kitchen team. Naz deserves to be recognised for her outstanding service—I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll be hoping she’s working when I do!

What am amazing place just by the Chelmsford station. The vast choice of delicious beers and ales. The place looks stunning also. If I have any criticism.....the toilets were poorly maintained. There was blockage in 2 out of 3 female cubicles and no toilet paper. The staff were informed but seemed not too care much which spoiled the experience just a little bit. I would go for 5 stars if that was fixed swiftly ...but it wasn't and we spend there long long hours and few quid lol

We were greeted and looked after by Lisa who did a fantastic job making sure we always had drinks and dealing with unfortunately some issues with one of the dinners. She was efficient and very effective

Great place plus they brew their own beer. Definitely recommend and it’s opposite the station. Will go again what a great pub !!!!

Really great night at the Brewhouse - we came for our hockey team end of season dinner - the service was excellent all night - our waitress was Naz and we had a really great night- will definitely be back

Lisa at Brewhouse Kitchen in Chelmsford is an exceptional hostess who truly understands how to make her guests feel welcome and cared for. From the moment we arrived, her attentiveness stood out. She kindly brought colouring and crayons for our son, ensuring he was engaged and happy throughout our visit. Her helpfulness didn’t stop there. Lisa provided fantastic food recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes, and she even shared her local knowledge by suggesting a nearby park where we could take our son. Her thoughtfulness and initiative really made our experience special. After a stressful trip to the estate agents, Lisa was the light we needed. She was funny, personable, and genuinely supportive. Her warmth and humour turned our day around and made us feel right at home. Lisa’s excellent service left a lasting impression and we can’t thank her enough. Brewhouse Kitchen is lucky to have her, and we’ll be back again soon, hoping for her outstanding hospitality once more.

Really nice atmosphere and great working deal. Nas was super helpful and gave a great service

Used it for the first time for the working space offer. Fantastic value and the service from Naz and Sean was excellent. Shitake mushroom sandwich was great and being able to enjoy free coffees and soft drinks whilst working was a real treat! Definite repeat for us!

Came in for the work space offer. Really friendly atmosphere and great value deal. Naz and Sean were excellent and really looked after us. Will return to use the service again. Thanks Naz

Food and drinks were great! Big thank you to Naz her service was on point! Would definitely recommend and return just because of her!

Had a great time at the pub—great vibe, good music, and a solid crowd. Special mention to Rishab, who was super impressive and added to the experience. Definitely coming back!

Love the atmosphere, naz looked after us very well as we were a big group , great food. Lovely place .

Had a really good lunch here, I had the bang bang chicken wrap with a pilsner and my mum had a fish finger sandwich with a cider. Very friendly staff and the price point was great. Will be back to sample the beer flights!

Visited last night for the beer and whisky tasting session, with my Dad. Absolutely great experience. Shaun was very informative, friendly and answered any questions we had. Only downside was that it was a bit loud, but of course not his fault. We loved it here though, and will be back in the future for other experiences, and a few pints if we’re passing through Chelmsford! Thank you ❤️

Had a table booked for dinner and drinks for my birthday celebration last night! The food was really nice and so were the drinks. Our server Naz was brilliant and super accommodating. We were a large group but I felt her and the other staff were great with us and we felt very looked after even with it being a busy night! I would definitely recommend and will be back 😊 thank you!

The meal was lovely and really fresh I loved it. The vibes were 10/10 and the staff were kind and respectful. Thank you for Maiah for taking care of me I would recommend going again!

Had a voucher for the beer and whisky tasty plus a burger - really good night, excellent staff, interesting selection of beers and whiskies and really good burgers - great value

Naz is the best! She carried the team this evening with excellent service Incredibly polite and awesome!

Would like to say what a lovely experience me and my boyfriend had this morning when being served by Lisa, she was so informative and just all round great with her customer service, wish all places had a Lisa

I have been here multiple times and this review is a culmination of those visits as every single one has been consistent with great service, delicious well priced food and there is always at least 3 beers you want to try, which are most often fantastic. This visit was no exception to the above. Beautiful atmosphere, done really well with the plants, booths and decor, nice and clean. Menu has great variety and the food arrived quickly and was hot despite being fairly busy at lunchtime. No reason not to go back. Huge shoutout to Lisa C for her wonderful attention to all customers, not just us, constantly on the move checking if things were ok or delivering food and drink always with a smile and a incredible positive friendly attitude. Very much a standout in the hospitality industry. Highly recommend the cheese dip, beercan chicken or the burgers. Although all the menu is good.

Enjoyed our visit, really cheap as well, seasonal own brewed beers were £3.50. Has a brewery in the pub which is cool

Mac and cheese really disappointing. Like something you could buy as a poor ready meal. A very sad attempt at a small handful of dried up rocket on the side.

Only coffee with a friend but excellent

Night started off very poor and continued to snowball from there. We booked a table and when arrived it had not been cleaned, still dirty glasses on table and nothing had been wiped down. There were no menus on the table and had to go and source ourselves. We went to the bar to order some drinks, when we ordered, the lady behind the bar looked lost and could not find the drinks we ordered, she had to ask a colleague, who then turned round and said they didn’t have Walmart we wanted in stock (chase Rhubarb vodka), being a Saturday and peak time, I would expect a bar to be fully stocked. We asked if we were to order at bar or if someone would come round, advised someone would come to the table or wave at a member of staff, as we went back to the table, we waited for 20minutes before realising that no member of staff was ever going to come. We eventually saw the gentlemen in grey shirt that served us, from our point of view he tried is upmost to avoid any alter contact and walks passed us without any acknowledgement, walking passed dirty tables round us. We got up and went to bar to order food, food order was taken down, then was eventually told they had sold out of fish and chips. From there it really snowballed. Small plates came out first and were treated as starters even thought they were to come out with main. For anyone that reads this, avoid the calamari like the plague, it was horrendous and after one bite we pushed it to the side, 20 minutes later and having to go and chase, one more main came out, at this time we were waiting for a simple salad to be made and 2 portions of chips. 20 minutes on from this, 40minutes late , salad and chips arrived. We sent these back as we decided enough was enough and we chose to leave, not before getting a refund. From the time we walked in to the time we left, we felt none of the staff wanted to be there, this showed by the avoidance of being round the tables cleaning and a lack of presence. I would comb back the menu and perhaps start offering a more simplified menu that chefs can cope with.

The room we were in was cold it took nearly an hour for our main to arrive not once were we asked if things were ok. We ordered a steak, chicken burger and a chicken schnitzel, we got a steak, beef burger and chicken schnitzel. Because we were meeting friends at another venue we didn’t have time to wait for a chicken burger to be cooked, the schnitzel had obviously been deep fried as all you could taste in the breadcrumbs was the fat. We mentioned this when trying to pay our bill after being ushered out of the room but the card machine wasn’t working so had to go to the bar but we weren’t offered any discount for the mistake or the length of time we had to wait. Won’t be back

Lovely restaurant, drinks were lovely, food was nice. Service seamed slow. The app wasn't working order from the table and and we was waiting 10 minutes at the bar for someone to come and tend the bar and serve use.

Great atmosphere. Rum tasting was excellent. After the tasting we were left with menus but no one ever came to take out order. Eventually placed at the bar myself. (No big deal) Food took quite a long time, I think there may have been some confusion as the meal was included in our experience voucher. When food eventually arrived it didn’t look as good as I’d anticipated. My plate was a burger and a tin of fries. Plate looked a little bare, either put the chips on the plate or add a salad garnish or corn or something? Burger was very tasty but lots of little chunks of gristle. My wife had schnitzel, very moist and tender but the coleslaw was not really coleslaw, just shredded veg. No mayo or anything to bind it. ate it all as we were very hungry. The voucher for the Rum tasting said “included nibbles”. It did not. We had to ask for some bread as the rum was taking an effect rather quickly!! The focaccia we ordered was superb. To finish we ordered a portion of churros. £7 for 4 very small churros (a notoriously cheap dish to produce) seemed expensive. There was an excellent waitress when we were eating who spotted we were trying to shake the last of the mayo out and brought us a fresh bottle. Overall a nice experience, would go back, just felt that the food fell short of our expectations. Perhaps it was a one off?

This is a Brewdog wannabe! We visited here late afternoon today with high expectations. Unfortunately, it was a let down on every level. The building has such potential, and has been refurbished so well. You walk into this grand building expecting pukka food, drink and service. Instead, you are greeted with disinterested bar staff, stinking toilets & tables piled with plates and glasses. We had 1 drink and went elsewhere. It could be so much more with some TLC!!

We visited yesterday and had a team lunch. Lovely friendly staff and great food! Will definitely visit again.

Didn't eat but had a couple of pints of excellent cider pre-theatre. Ideal location opposite the train station, will be visiting again pre- and post Essex cricket fixtures this summer

We were just passing through and found this gem on our trip. Naz took excellent care of us, exceeding expectations. Would definitely recommend this pub.

Had a really lovely time. Group of 4 for lunch plus a little dog. The food was tasty and had a varied menu.. The service was exemplary. Lisa looked after us as a group very well. Would definitely visit again.

Decent service throughout...would have been 5* for all but for delayed food ser.

Late lunch with Three thirds , fish n chips. Staff friendly and love the way they interact with the customers Especially good was interaction with South African lady and kitchen waitress (could of been a chef as had apron on but no hat) I chatted to an old boy customer and he said his (beravement) group love the place. Sure I saw a former 🛠 trying out Geoff Hursts beer

We visited at lunchtime. Great value, tasty food and the beer was delicious! Our server, Lisa, was so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Brewhouse and this was a first visit for others in our group. They all said they would return and it was the perfect venue for our visit.

Lovely setting, good food, but most importantly wonderful staff!

Really disappointing experience. We arrived for a sunday roast, the staff wasn't aware if they were serving Chicken or not. A couple of the guest placed an order through the app, they wasn't sure if the food was going to arrive or not. When the food did eventually arrive, it was warm (not hot) one of the meals had a hair on it. The meal with the hair on it was completely refunded however, that guest decided not to order anything else. Also, the three roast meal arrived with one piece of beef. During our meal, we had two more sunday roast turn up which we didn't order. After our meal, we waiting for the bill for far too long. We ended up paying downstairs before exiting. Overall, we left unsatisfied and one person was left hungry. We will not be returning.

We booked the all-day brewing experience for my husband’s birthday and I have to say the day was outstanding. Our host and master brewer Rhys was amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. We arrived for 10am and he explained the day and we started with egg and bacon large rolls with teas and coffee. We then procedure to go through the process of making the beer whilst sampling in half pints all the different beers. Lunch was excellent and great choice of food again with more beer. Rhys was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He took photos throughout the day which he email over to us. The experience finished around 5 pm which a choice of another beer! We left with a choice of kegs one each - 9 pints of beer! The cost was £95 each for the whole day all inclusive price and I have to say well worth it. It does sound expensive but when you break down the activities, food and drink plus a key of beer it is amazing value. I completely recommend this experience day.

Visited this place with friends on Friday and loved it. Really good atmosphere, very clean, great food, great service, easy to order from table. Will definitely be returning!

I've been here before and loved it but during my last visit there felt like a few different things that weren't up to scratch. I don't think they had enough bar staff. We were waiting for ages with only two people behind the bar and rows of people going back. At one point a member of staff walked away from the bar with a card machine so no one could pay for their drinks. The thing that irked me the most was that a cherry chouffle here is £7.20!!!! I was expecting it to be around a fiver, considering it's about £3 in Waitrose and you have to pay wages, rent, etc but that fact a 330ml bottle costs more than my partner alcohol-free pint. It's not even a draught pint it's just from a bottle. Unfortunately it's just over priced and I can't stop to enjoy my night because I keep thinking about how much extra it was.

I would like to say a big thank you to Rhys the Head Brewer for making our International Women's Brew Day yesterday so enjoyable. He showed our WI group of ladies how to make a new stout which will be ready in a few weeks. The whole day was exceptionally good, all the staff were so friendly and the beer, hot drinks and food all went down very well. The new stout will be called New City Goddess and we will all be back for a sample. Well done to everyone!

we did the all day brewery experience with Rhys and it was utterly brilliant. we thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Rhys was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. food and beer was excellent. we highly recommend doing this experience at the Brewhouse Chelmsford.

I always enjoy coming here. The beer is good and the staff both helpful and knowledgeable.

Visited for lunch today, we were served by Lisa and she was excellent very friendly and attentive great service and the food was good too

I booked a private room at short notice for my daughter's 16th birthday party. From the very outset the attention and customer service was exceptional. Special mention to Dragesh who spent time listening to my requirements for the evening and then speaking with the relevant team members to make it happen, and Catia who answered all my queries and again took steps to make the evening a success. On the night they were both there and again provided excellent customer service. The food was lovely and the portions generous. All the guests had a great time, and one of the parents has already spoken about using the venue for her daughter's 16th. Thanks to everyone for making it such a great night. Arlene

We recently held our baby shower at Brewhouse kitchen, Chelmsford, and it was fantastic. We couldn’t fault a thing. All the staff were so accommodating, before and during our stay. Great service throughout the day and our buffet food was delicious. I would highly suggest as a venue for an event, or just for a drink and some food with friends. I didn’t catch every staff members name, but all were great. Katya and Dave were brilliant.

Food was very average. Table wasn’t cleared by staff, had to move plates ourselves to be served desert. Glass broke on table next to us and wasn’t cleaned despite asking at the bar. Great concept and looks great inside but disappointing

Despite the upstairs being basically full, there was no-one available to take drinks orders, which meant trooping up and down the stairs, despite there being a fully stocked bar 10ft from where we were sitting.

I was served by Naz and she was very friendly and attentive, you could tell she has a natural way with people. The minute steak sandwich was cooked to perfection, overall an excellent experience and I will be back.

On the whisky and beer experience, Dragos was a great informative host , a very nice evening out , thank you

First time at restaurant and was impressed

Dragos was amazing. What an amazing guy. He was very knowledgeable and knew his stuff. You HAVE to experience this tasting event! Thank you

Beer masterclass and meal, really good experience.

Had a lovely steak and some Prosecco here! Was served by the lovely Naz who went above and beyond and served us with a smile! Looking forward to our next visit!

Great Beer great Atmosphere and our server Naz was extremely welcoming, friendly and hilarious. would come back again.

Friendly staff & a decent pint.

Great night, easy to book and pre-order as a large group. Helpful staff and great service Food lovely

After posting the review below a year or so ago, I thought i would give this venue another GI but just for a drink this time. Drinks were fine but what was disappointing was the condition of the ladies toilets which had clearly not been checked as the chain was broken and the toilet roll dispenser had become wedged. It also looked like someone had removed the shelf to try and fix it themselves 🤣. Maybe I've just been unlucky but there are many other bar restaurants in chelmsford that I will continue visiting. Disappointed! We had booked a table but ended up leaving after 1 drink (in some cases half a drink) because all the dishes we wanted on the menu were not available. When we were shown to our table, the team did not advise that certain items were off the menu, it was only after/as we ordered. Based upon this, we would not return.

Dragons our host was excellent - thank you! Marked down for atmosphere simply because it was difficult to hear Food was fine but for vegans/veggies like us the choice was limited

Had a birthday late lunch here. Was served at the bar and food by Lisa, she covered every avenue. A great asset to you!!

Had a very good experience here today, the girl called Alisha made it a very nice experience, definitely coming back

Went for lunch at Brew House and had such a lovely time. Amazing service by Lisa! Food was delicious. Will defo be back!

We had a great lunch for eight here this week. Brilliant selection of beers and all the food was top notch. Lisa who served us was really good fun and on the ball. We will be back!

Our first visit was on the 23rd January we had a lovely lunch the food was amazing our server was called naz she was so helpful so friendly nothing was too much for her , we loved the layout and the decor it was just a lovely experience looking forward to coming back x

Family of 5 for lunch (and a delicious fresh craft beer alongside). Served by Katya - not sure we have ever been served by a nicer or more attentive person before. Nice good, generous person, wonderful staff. Sunday roast, kids ate free. A great location too (where it is, and the grandness of the building). Good times. Highly recommend

Upon entering it was not clear if we need to be seated or if we could find a table ourselves. Therefore we stood waiting to be seated as there was a front of house desk, for several minutes. The servers were busy running around however, could see that there was a queue starting to form behind us. It wasn’t until we walked up to the bar to ask if we could be seated, we were then informed that we could sit anywhere that doesn’t have a reservation. So after 10 minutes we found a table. We start down and started to look at the menu. We used the QR code to order our drink first as we were still deciding what to order food wise. After a few minutes our drinks arrived and we knew our food order, however the online menu had gone down and we couldn’t order. We managed to catch a waitress to order our food. I explained to her that I had a dairy allergy, and asked for the cheeseburger with just lettuce, as it contains various different fillings that I was unsure about. She added that I had an allergy to the order, but however, failed to add that I had just requested lettuce in my burger. When our food arrived, 30 minutes later, I opened my burger to find that it still had fillings in that I didn’t want, my other half said I should have sent it back but was too overwhelmed with the poor experience and didn’t want to trouble the waitress anymore than we had, as we had to asked for cutlery, when she brought this to us it wasn’t clean, and then had to ask for sauces. I said to my other half, ‘it’s fine I’ll just scrap what I don’t want out and fill it with ketchup.’ I then went to look at their allergy advice information online to find that it wasn’t very clear if any of the fillings in the burger had dairy in them. Although I know that it most likely isn’t cooked separate I can deal with that. The food wasn’t overall appetising and left feeling underwhelmed. We left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. It’s a good place for a few drinks but wouldn’t recommend the food.

Visited for the venue for a whisky & beer pairing experience. Arron was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the different whisky's and beers. Explaining their origins, strengths and how the beer enhanced the flavor of the whisky's. Enjoyable experience and good food. Would definitely recommend.

Food - the bare minimum and not fantastic quality- definitely not home made either heated from frozen or from jars . No extras salad decoration or bread. Quite expensive too for what it is. Disappointing

Nice place...many craft beers, good atmosphere and food 👌🍻

The service was not great no knife and folks bought to the table had to ask for it. Two of the meals were missing items and when told it was not bought to us eg ordered butter chicken burger and was bought southern fried burger not slaw as written on the menu. Burger meal was missing bacon from smoked bacon chill jam burger and not then bought. Desert was not nice and had to ask for the custard that was ordered with it to be bought to the table

Nice beer (Tropical IPA). Food served was quite tasty but lukewarm. If time not of the essence I would have returned the food.

Awesome experience, made even better by the staff , all were amazing and looked after me and my wife so well. A big shout out to the manager who fitted us in after I’d booked the wrong Saturday. Great burgers and the beer was top notch

Have just done a brewing experience at Chelmsford Brewhouse and it was nothing short of awesome👌. Rhys the master brewer is a rockstar! A great value experience with breakfast, lunch, lots of hands on brewing experience and really informative, plus loads of beer sampling all day and a mini keg to take home at the end. Rhys made all the difference with his no nonsense explaining of the brewing process and letting us do loads of it ourselves. We were a couple and had another 2 people who had booked on and Rhys made it so much fun for the 4 of us... quite frankly working out when we can come back and do it all again!!! Brilliant present idea.

Me and my dad came here for the brewery experience and I cannot recommend it enough, Rhys was outstanding he really made the experience. If you're into your ale / craft beer this is definitely the place to come. Really good value for money : great beers amazing food and a brilliant insight into what goes on behind the scenes.

Lisa, lisa lisa! What a dream she was. Looked after us after a 24hr journey from Thailand. We where tied and stressed and she went above and beyond to look after us! What a credit to the buisness! Made our 1hour train wait a dream of an experiance. If back in Chelmsford I will be returning. Coffee and pastries where great. X

Was on a long haul trip back from Thailand got stuck at Chelmsford station for a couple hours at 9am ish. Lisa went above and beyond, sorted us comfy seats with tasty coffees and pastries. Exactly what we needed. Thanks Lisa x

Just spent a work lunch meeting at The Brewhouse. Was served by Lisa, who was great. Very attentive, bubbly and looked after us. Thank you Lisa.... A*+

We loved the place. Excellent selection of beer brewed on the premises. If you are selling the premises as a Brewhouse then you might add a continental twist to include Schweinshaxe (German Pork Knuckle) which you find in the Brewhouses in Germany. It would also make change to similar food in nearby pubs which would add to the selling point of visiting the premises. In addition it would be a nice touch to sell the Belgium Beers in the appropriate glass. All the same the place is a great place to visit.

5 fellow church leaders & I just had a terrific lunch here. We were wonderfully served by Lisa. Both drinks and food were delivered to our tables in great time. All of us enjoyed our choices. I was very impressed with the Currywurst option I chose. Leckeres Essen! I couln't match Dixon Jr & Maddie's Munich experience..... but I joined in the whole Oktoberfest by ordering from that particular menu. We all agreed that this was THE place we would return to as it is nicely central to our towns and cities - and also handy for the station and car-parking. What's not to like? Sehr gute Brewhouse & Kitchen. You have won new customers. Update: I said we'd return...and we did! A few more of us church leader types for a pre-Christmas get-together and then lovely food back at the B&K. The Steak & Ale pie with the colcannon was terrific. As a driver I appreciated the refreshing Entity Pale Ale. Not all low alcohol pale ales taste good...this one was excellent. We shall return.....again.

Excellent lunch at Brewhouse today, a lovely welcome from our waitress Lisa who took time to check the music wasn't too loud for us when she showed us to the table and quickly provided water for the table (really important when you have to take medication before food). The food was delicious and service was attentive but not intrusive throughout. Lisa is a true asset to Brewhouse and made our visit really enjoyable. Lisa you are a star!!

We booked The Brewhouse for a colleague's leaving do - it was absolutely perfect. There was a group of about 25 of us and we had the Anne Knight Suite reserved for us, with the silver finger buffet ordered for food. The food was excellent and they even offered us table service for our drink orders - highly recommended!

Had lovely meal and nice beer despite original beer choice not being available. Staff were very friendly and helpful and overall great time . Mid afternoon visit and place fairly quiet also early January.

Amazing service and delicious (and generous) food and great attention by the pub manager - deffo coming back!
