The usual warm welcome from Charmaine, Scott and the team . We enjoyed a delicious, fresh and leisurely carvery in the usual cosy environment with soft drinks and tasty cappuccinos too! The price is more than fair . As always i must say that Brewers Fayre needs to honour the lofty heights of its staff by sorting the carpark (currently hugely out-of-shape) and giving Brookers Oast a well-deserved renovation!

I am thoroughly disgusted the way this restaurant treated us, booked for 5.30pm, then told they couldn't do this though already booked and accepted, so agreed to move to 6.30pm, then told they couldn't do this time and they could only do 8.45pm. Avoid

A group of 10 friends met for Sunday lunch and we had a lovely time. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The carvery was very nice, and the fish pie also received a good response. Once we understood the ordering system, which is simple, it was a very relaxing afternoon topped off with a Knickerbocker Glory. We will be going back. Even better, as BlueLight card holders we get £ off the bill. What more could you want.

A few attempts over the past couple of months to go in for a meal during the week, we have been met with 'we are just closing'... (err it's 7pm ???) then the next time it was sorry, 'problems in kitchen /staff issue'. What should have been third time lucky, (why did we even bother) we were told they were 'fully booked' and couldn't be seated as we hadn't 'pre booked''. What?? The place was almost empty. Didnt look booked up to us. I could understand if it was Easter or Christmas etc when places get booked up. But it was just an ordinary day. There were only a handful of tables occupied so we couldn't quite understand whe insistence of having a booking. I wouldn't recommend this place due to above comments. If you do decide to go there for an evening meal, I'd suggest calling ahead to make sure they're actually going to stay open beyond 7pm. Maybe it was just our bad luck each time, but three times. Hmm... 😕

We had a party of 19 and having booked early we were seated on 2 long tables together. There was choice for all to be satisfied in their choice of meal, The staff were helpful and the place was clean and well looked after. As a large venue it was impressive that the place was fully booked (on a Sunday) so I would advise early booking. It would be 5 stars but we had to go order at the bar for both food and drinks so we all ended up eating at different times.

The restaurant food choice and staff are all first class. Food is always hot tasty and value for money. Staff are always friendly and ready to help anyway they can. BUT PLEASE PLEASE get the driveway approach repaired before someone does some serious damage to there car, there is so much water laying there that you can’t see the massive pothole until you hit it.

Never had a complaint about the service or meals at this place. We've been numerous times as we're local, but it's always an option when deciding where to go for a family dinner, probably because my kids grew up with the unlimited fizzy drinks machine (which is why one of them still picks this as an option I think!). It does a great carvery too, but most importantly, the staff are always approachable and friendly.
