Brewhouse & Kitchen Lichfield in Lichfield

Disappointing - no food available

Fabulous time on International Women's Day learning about the brewing process and being very well looked after 😀.

We had a great Sunday dinner at this place. I had accidentally booked for two instead of eight…. But still the waiter was ever so accommodating and professional, and sorted everything for us. The food was also really tasty, genuinely delicious (not just boiled tasteless defrosted vegetables) and we had very generous portions. Would definitely recommend.

We spent a lovely Sunday afternoon having lunch and relaxing. Food was great and the staff were really attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

£££ Charged a service charge on top of bill without asking , & service was awful had to ask twice for milk for my wife's tea & a glass of water tea went cold . waiter was hiding outside the toilets texting on his phone. Not much for Veggies on the menu

My friends and I had a lovely experience at thw brew house. Popped in off the cuff, and had a lovely chicken sandwich. Staff were really nice and helpful, even checking on us to makesure our meal was OK (which it was). Followed this with a few pints while catching up, the time flew bye. Such a lovely atmosphere and so relaxing. Beers are not cheap but a large choice to choose from. I would recommend this place if in Lichfield and need a break to take in a snack and drink.

Great place to work from during the day, and a pleasant place to be in the evening.

Excellent service, Sam was very polite, very attentive and food was good. Definitely recommend.

We were a table of 4 on a Saturday lunchtime. Ordered drinks at the bar. I had an email for a free drink as its my birthday soon. Barman said "I don't think we do that". Unsure why as I haven't been to any other Brewhouse pubs. He did then gave us the free pint of IPA.  Then seated the waitress was rude and doesnt appear have experience in customer service.  When she took the order we repeated it 3 times and eventually had to point to the 'bang bang chicken' and 'fish finger sandwich'. We asked for more drinks.... her response was "you what?". Not really a good way to address anyone.  She appeared to be on her own serving the entire restaurant so that may be why no follow ups and everything we wanted we had to ask for. Then when the bill came we were automatically charged 10% service charge! Wouldn't have paid that if I had known. There was no one around to complain to. Our waitress wouldn't have responded to the feedback, given the attitude.  The food also wasn't great...chewy steak and very very greasy fish fingers. Won't be returning. I would have complained but there were no staff around hardly and it just put us all off coming back

Food here was superb had the beer a chicken and my date had the fish and chips I must say definitely don’t skimp on portions. Kieran was outstanding serving us so attentive and making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning

UPDATE We were invited back for the complimentary meal as offered below, and the experience was much better. Service was great and efficient, food came out quickly, it was hot and very tasty. Atmosphere was great. Grateful for the offer of the complimentary meal as it totally made up for the previous visit. Thank you. So I have came here for my birthday meal, as I have previously been here and really enjoyed it. But i’ve got to say me and my friend were incredibly unhappy, and would definitely not choose to come here for a special occasion again, or even again to be honest! We sat down to a fire beside us, which was then turned of, leaving behind an incredibly cold seating area, to the point where I had to leave my jacket on because it was cold in there. We ordered food, it takes 50 mins to come out, and when it did it was pretty much completely cold, had obviously been sat there waiting to come out for some time. My friend ordered the mac and cheese and it was truly an absolute robbery of money, £14 for practically two spoons of pasta, and a bowl of sauce, which not to mention, was cold. My burger was barely warm, didn’t feel fresh at all. We sent the mac and cheese back for it to come out 2 mins later clearly just microwaved, still not hot. I’ll insert a picture. Really disappointed as the pub has potential with its atmosphere and interior, just a huge let down tonight.

Great day brewing with Harris. V knowledgeable and personable! The day Was bought for me as a present and i had a fantastic day

Did gin masterclass with Sam. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Polite and helpful.

Great food and lovely service by Sam, would recommend for lunch and dinner. Really good Sunday lunch with great drinks.

Good food. Sam was very helpful. Very enjoyable lunch. Would recommend for a dog friendly Sunday lunch. Good choice Of beers

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Sam looked after us throughout our visit. Highly recommend

Sam was a wonderful host! Great information on the history of gin. Lovely experience. Thanks Sam.

Came for a birthday celebration and I have to say, the venue is nice and cosy and the staff were nice enough but I don’t think the food was the best. I had a burger which was ok but a bit dry but my husband had the roast chicken and it was really pink in the middle so he couldn’t eat it. My brother in law had the same and his was pink too. I don’t think we will be returning.

Sam hosted our Gin Masterclass and made the session so memorable. He was knowledgeable, approached and just an all round great guy. Would highly recommended!

Thi review is for the brewhouse kitchen experience of beer tasting this was a present for my 60th I took my son as well .I did not know what to expect but I had a fabulous time Sophia was amazing in presenting the different beers brewed on site to sample and her knowledge is excellent she interacted well with us all and I would definitely recommend it to anyone thanks Sophia

Had a lovely evening sat by the fire drinking a lovely bottle of pinot noir. We were chatting so long we didn't have much time to eat. The lady that served us (I think she was the manager) reassured us that food would come out quickly. It did and it was delicious. My friend who has a dairy allergy was treated well and confident in her selection. Its a shame not many people were in there that's the only reason I dropped a star on atmosphere. My friend and I had a great catch up and we were on time for the show we were going to!

We held our Son’s 18th birthday party here last week and it was fabulous. The staff were all really helpful and the food was delicious. They also catered well for our friends who needed a gluten free meal. Everyone really enjoyed the night and our family and friends said what a great time they had had.

Lovely food and great service! Our server Sam was mega 🙌🏼

Came for a beer and Kieran was serving and he knew so much about the whiskey and beers you serve it was good to be safe and in good hands

Had a pleasant evening on the beer and whisky pairing experience. Sophie who conducted the session was very knowledgeable and polite taking time to explain the various brands although it was hard to hear her explaining the brewing process due to a group of rather loud people enjoying their afternoon in the bar area. The food was nice and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely family meal on Sunday afternoon 29th Dec. Special thanks to our table waiter (Chris I think) he was welcoming, efficient and friendly.

30th Nov 2024. Came here on my birthday. Had a great selection on ales and had two different flavoured portion of wings. So far to date, the wings were the best I've had. When they were placed Infront of me, I was already drooling. I'm not one for presentation but they looked as good as they tasted. It's a bit of a trek from Derby for a drink but will definitely return. Great ales, great food

Great food and service. So cosy with the fires going too. Definitely be back

Sophia our server was great and the whole experience was well led. We had a great time and would recommend it to anyone for a gift or present.

We have enjoyed visiting the Lichfield Brewhouse in the past and had some good meals. Unfortunately we visited at lunchtime on Xmas Eve and the experience was very disappointing. We had to wait a long time for food and when it arrived one of our meals chicken wrap was inedible as the chicken had been overcooked so much it could not be cut with a knife. A steak frite was also overcooked. Puddings were also disappointing. This is a shame but won't be heading here in the future and will try elsewhere in Lichfield like the refurbished Bowling Green.

A lovely visit as always. A very warm welcome from Megan, the dogs were made very welcome too. Food, drinks and service were excellent

Sam and Kieran were a great host and always there to get us more drinks when we needed them! Really enjoyed it

Have come here regularly for the last couple of years, booked it for an event in November and preordered food. When we arrived the tables were filthy, a number of chairs were broken. As the evening progressed the man behind the bar had no desire to be there, had to be asked to serve by his supervisor several times throughout the night despite queues at the bar. Our preordered food arrived with a significant amount missing. We raised this and were initially told everything arrived. We disagreed, it was looking into further and then it was agreed not everything came out. We spent over £500 on food and was offered a goodwill gesture of £45. It's not a goodwill gesture to be refunded for items that didn't arrive. The attitude of the staff dealing with this was disappointing to say the least and they tried to put the blame on us as though we had not ordered food, despite it all being paid for in advance and confirmed on email. Spoke to a man at head office who said he would be back in touch. He didn't get back in touch. After chasing, again, we were offered a refund of £200 which was processed and then later cancelled. 6 weeks after the event and we have received no refund and nobody is replying. An awful way to treat customers and a bizarre approach to service. Lichfield is saturated with bars and in an ever demanding and challenging time for hospitality to actively push customers out and go out of your way to make sure they never come back and feel the need to leave a negative review is insane to me. I wouldn't waste a penny going here again and will happily recommend others do the same.

Sam was a fabulous waiter. Very polite and deserves a pay rise for excellent service! The table and seats could have done with a refurb as looking very dirty and worn. Prices could have been cheaper

An amazing gin masterclass today with Sam! He was so knowledgable and the gins were great. Also followed this up with his recommendation on food and more drinks and it was all perfect! Can highly recommend.

Lovely place - homely and welcoming. We ordered 4 meals - the haddock and burger were delicious but the pie meals were extremely disappointing. My husband and I had no chance of eating the pastry on either the festive pie or the steak and ale - it was thick, rock hard and overdone. The festive pie meal said it came with wilted kale… there wasn’t even a quarter of one leaf of kale and this was mixed in with the single quenelle of mash. My husbands steak and ale pie should have come with ‘crispy onions’ - we asked where they were and were told they didn’t have any and the waitress walked away - no alternative offered. First restaurant in all of my 62 years where I left hungry

We've been a couple of times now and will keep coming back. Good food, good service (Sam I particularly is very attentive) and good atmosphere. Recommended to all

Great choice of beers, many brewed on the premises. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food we had was excellent. Will definitely visit again.

Had a lovely time popping in here with my family. My server Sam was great, very attentive and really friendly.

I booked my school Christmas party here for 47 people and hired the two upstairs rooms exclusively for us with a private bar. I spoke to Darcey, who was fabulous organising all our dietary needs etc! and Dave was excellent behind the bar. The food was amazing too! I would highly recommend having a party here the staff and food are wonderful.

Went for the beer masterclass Was a great afternoon, Sophia was amazing very informative and funny- had a great time will be recommending to everyone! Thanks

Sophia was a great host. Very knowledgeable about the brewery and beer selection on offer! Would definitely recommend the experience.

Had a virgin beer drinking experience brought for us- was amazing - Sophia explained everything to us and made our experience fantastic.xxxx

Great range of beers, get a good amount to try, good experience and Sophia was an amazing host. Great day out, enjoyed by all.

Beer masterclass was really informative, the beer was delicious and Sophia was very knowledgable. She was a great host and talked us through the beers expertly. Would recommend.

had a great time making beer with guidance from Harris, great knowledge and fantastic beers would recommend anyone to try the brewery experience

We had our works do here, 16 of us and we had a brilliant experience. Food was beautiful, atmosphere was buzzing. We would definitely go back.

Went for lunch and was served by Sam we had a toddler with us but this wasn’t an issue he seated us and took our order and wasn’t phased by the toddler asking him lots of questions. He had good knowledge of the Drinks available and when we ordered food it arrived swiftly but fresh cooked. The Entity non alcoholic lager was very refreshing also. There was a fire lit that warmed the place and added to the atmosphere. Enjoyed and thought was reasonable price for quality of food we had.

We had a Beer & Whiskey pairing session conducted by the lovely Sophia. I already knew a lot of what she told us but she was very friendly and presented the information well. She is a charming knwlegeable person and an asset to your company. Make sure you get her back after she's had the baby. The Beer and whiskey portions were generous and neither my wife or I felt we needed another drink with the food! They were all nice too, except perhaps the flowery pale ales, which aren't to my taste. The food was good. Menu was limited which is the only reason to drop to 4 stars. An all round great experience. Thank you. I can't say how much we spent as the experience was a gift.

I've always enjoyed the Brewhouse, but recently booked it for an event. I was pretty disappointed overall. None of the tables had been cleaned so they all had crusty food on them and were sticky. A large number of chairs were not completely stable. Tables were broken with edges missing and splintered wood. The man behind the bar had to be asked to serve by another member of staff on a number of occasions as despite queues nobody was beings served. A glass was dropped at one point and the dustpan and brush was handed to a guest. We ordered food from their buffet menu. 150 sandwiches, we've since been told 150 sandwiches is actually 50 sandwiches cut into 3, this isn't how it's described on their menu or on our order. A large amount of this food never came out. We raised this and were initially told it all came out. Then later we were told actually it didn't all come out. It's a shame as it's always been a nice place to go out for a drink and food, but I won't be returning after this experience.

We’ve used the brewhouse for a function and it was brilliant, good food and friendly helpful staff. We’ve been for lunch recently and we could not fault anything, good service and good food! We then visited for the brunch a short while ago, and the eggs Benedict just tasted like pure vinegar, everything else was absolutely fine, but improvement required on the eggs.

Overall experience made for a well worth night, Darcey the girl that put up with us was amazing informative and knowledgeable, trying to deal with a bunch who were seasoned ale and Whisky drinkers. As a paring experience it was a great event, polished off with a decent bit of food. What can I say would I do it again absolutely, as long as the other staff are as good as Darcey

Place was nice. Food was average. We had a Sunday roast it was warm not hot. I managed to catch a waitress about half way threw eating our meals and explained that we had no Yorkie pudding on our meal. Good as gold she fetched them for us but they were stone cold. I kind of gave up then Doubt if we.d go there again.

We did the whiskey and beer tasting experience, which was a good night to be fair, worth doing, great little gift for someone.

Great brewing experience Saturday 16th Nov 2024. Fantastic day thanks to Harris

Love this place love the food and the service but what made my experience is the lad who served me today Kieran gadsby engaged well was attentive and helpful above and beyond made me and my partner feel extremely welcome and as if there wasn't enough he could do to make our experience top rate great addition to a fantastic place defo 5 stars

Absolute fab service very attentive from Kieran such a laugh and joke about sport Dan did an amazing job in cooking the beer can chicken Will deffo be back soon when Xmas hits well done lads keep it up

Came here the other day absolute fab food Very good service from Kieron knows so much about whiskey and recommended beers to go with it Will be back soon as work away

Was out shopping in the area and popped in for a quick drink and bite to eat, food was lovely and a nice friendly service. A big thank you to Megan who was really good with our daughter will definitely visit again

Went in the Brewhouse for drinks after the theatre. Fantastic service from Dylan, Kieran and Megan - very friendly and courteous. Will be visiting again. Very hard working team.

The setting is lovely, our table was reserved for us as planned. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The beer is very good too, with lots to choose from, there is surely something for everyone. The food is good, the quality isn’t bad, however the portions are small and when you consider the price the food doesn’t seem value for money to me. It’s a shame, as other than this it would have been a great experience.

Lovely staff, Megan, Dylan & kieron after visiting for theatre @ garrick, lovely atmosphere Keep it up guys will will be coming back

1st visit, enjoyed the range of ales at Lichfield branch., excellent service and staff very friendly. Kieren was on bar service and and was very polite. Will definitely be coming back

lovely food ,excellent service especially megan and kayleigh,went the extra mile to make our experience fantastic thankyou

Brilliant brewhouse, Dylan is an excellent bartender and poured a wonderful pint 😄

Came in for my mates birthday and was served by Dylan. Good manners and had a laugh as we was served

5 star service from Kieran today food was also incredible!!!

Great evening for a friends birthday. Dylan was very accommodating for our large party on short notice. Will definitely be back

Had a lovely time! Sophia, was bubbly and helpful

My wife and I arrived quite late and I could see the staff closing the kitchen so I asked if we could have a meal..I explained we had an awful journey to Megan and Kayleigh and they couldn't do enough for us. The welcome was great and so was the meal. Well done and keep it up. A great start to our weekend break in Litchfield.

We popped in here for a quick bite to eat and a drink after some shopping. Service was absolutely spot on, the coffees we had were really nice as was the food. Amazing service by Megan who was helpful and friendly. We will be back next time we’re in Lichfield.

Great service and fantastic customer service from megan

Had a lovely experience here today. Our Server Dylan was very kind, professional and always happy to help. Will definitely be returning!

Amazing food and service today with Kayleigh! Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you

Came in today for lunch and drinks Dylan was fantastic and friendly made us feel very welcome

Beer flights + food absolutely amazing , our server Charlotte made the experience even better 1000% would recommend !!!! :)

Had a lovely time there tonight, Sophia was so kind and warm to us, the whiskey was amazing!

Absolutely fantastic time tonight, brilliant atmosphere and Sophia was so nice to me and my brother, very sweet to talk to!

The food and beverages were exceptional. Dylan, our server, provided outstanding hospitality. We look forward to returning soon.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Never fails to make my experience the best it can be. My servers Megan and Kieran were brilliant. Very attentive and helpful. Will be back again soon. Thank you.

Excellent bar woth a great ale selection. The copper brewing pots are a nice tough to add to the experience and Dylan was an excellent barman. 👍

Came out for a friends birthday, the service by Dylan has been absolutely amazing! Really helpful explaining the fancy beers you offer! Thank you Dylan!

Sophia was great, made me feel very comfortable and had knowledge on the beers. 5 stars !

Visited for lunch today, Charlotte and Kayleigh were great hosts! The food was delicious; sausage and mash to die for. Will be back again🔥🔥🔥

Food and drink both really good. Sofia who served us was an excellent host. Will visit again soon.

Went for Sunday lunch ,great well cooked food, friendly helpful staff and decent beer ,what's not to like ?

Brewery Day Tom and Harris were amazing hosts and did a brilliant job with us Would highly recommend

Very impressed with the service. I have an allergy to dairy milk and the pub did not have any non dairy alternatives. However,our server arranged a trip to the shop to quickly stock soya milk to serve several delicious soya cappuccinos. Much appreciated.

This was my first time there. It was a family gathering of 8. The service was excellent. All the meals were brought swiftly together. The drinks were very good. The food was tasty and hot. The desserts were very good and enjoyable. Totally recommend it.

Visited on Sunday and had the Three Meat Roast and vegetarian wellington. Both perfectly cooked, the "beer can" chicken was fantastic. Service was friendly and efficient.

Excellent Oktoberfest Bratwurst and attentive service by Sam. Well done to him for helping our resident coeliac.

Our server, Sam, was superb. As a coeliac he went above and beyond going back to the kitchen 4 times to check on things to make certain that my food would be safe for me to eat. I ordered the burger with a gf bun. It was delicious, succulent with a soft seeded bun and burger sauce...not something you get very often.

Very pleasant meal and gin tasting experience. Our host/waiter Sam was first rate and very helpful.

Sunday dinner with the family! Really lovely food made even better by Sam, an absolute gent who gave us nothing other than a 5* service!! Be back soon!!

Me and brother came for a brewing experience. Tom and Harris gave us a great day, explaining the process and answering our many questions. We both got stuck in from start to finish. We have both been on brewery tours before but never been involved in the process. Breakfast and lunch were provided with many beers to taste along the way. This is beer tasting coupled with brewing which adds the extra element. We will be back late October to hopefully sample the product we helped produced. Many thanks, would highly recommend.

Manageress Charlotte once again yesterday Friday made our meetings in your bar there very very good ... she was exceptionally attentive to our coffee, tea and drinks needs, and she was incredibly pleasant too. And THAT is why we use Brewhouse. Thank you Charlotte.

Popped in with my laptop for some lunch and a coffee as I usually work from home, was served by Dave who was very friendly and made sure I was well looked after, definitely popping back in soon!

A rainy Sunday night but cheered up on entering this welcoming pub. Cheerful greeting from Kieron who was our server for the evening. A good range of beers and a varied food menu pleased all 4 of us. Will come again next time we are in Lichfield.

Lovely pub in Lichfield with a large variety of beers. Food is great, Sam and Charlotte were very helpful and attentive. Took our orders quickly and our food came swiftly.
