Brooks Restaurant in Elmbridge

Worst college I’ve been to yet (specifically the Motorsport area of it). I joined the Level 3 Motorsport course after being promised a full 2 years of learning and international experiences related to my course. (None of which has happened) The start of the 2 year course was OK, lack of tutors for some occasions and lack of lessons in some days, all while not learning too much as a whole, only really talked about it, wrote it down in a very unpleasant and poorly maintained room, given a grade and forgotten about. As the years went on tutors kept dropping out and replacements were brought in over the summer term, these tutors are a waste of time and annoying, all they have done is promise learning and experiences but have given nothing, the timetable was changed 14 times in the first 3 months and classmates were blamed for being late to lessons they didn’t know existed. The department leader whos last name is Ince is also useless and should resign. He has promissed improvements and tutors to teach us, but failed, and constantly argues with the students stating that we have been lying to him about his failed promises, including assignment dates (a year long project which we have about 3 months to do with no help) and a maths teacher which took 4 months to start teaching maths who left a month after due to the fact the guy didn’t understand basic maths such as the difference between the Mean and Median (we later found out he didn’t even have a maths degree). As this 2 year course comes to an end, I have learned less about motorsports or cars in general than I did in the Level 1 course I did in Farnborough (Which I highly recommend for beginning in the motor industry, more than Brooklands). However atleast I know that I can write Health and Safety assignments 4 times! Overall, the whole course is a nightmare in exception to the one CAD teacher and one practical/theory teacher who cannot do better due to the idiotic department head. I cannot say any other good things about this course as it was a disaster and will not recommend this course to anyone!

Went for induction onto a Computer course and the teacher told be I should just go down the pub? Then packed his PC away like I was going to steal it. Another student oversaw this and was just shaking her head Absolute garbage.

The lady call Carlie parker who works in admin for brooklands college is very rude I was trying explain to her about a hospatality course I am interested in she didn't bother giving me information and hang up the phone brooklands and Woking college are two of the worst college in Surrey county I wouldn't recommend for anyone going there bunch of time wasters don't really what you want in life

Great night with unexpected singing duo who gave the whole evening a great vibe. The food was typical Irish fare and cooked to perfection.

It is very nice here. Pleasant and warm attitude from teachers.

The sports hall is great at Brooklands. I'm a keen badminton player, and attend ACE Badminton Club at Brooklands every Tuesday, it has perfect ceiling height and flooring! 👍😁

Lovely college in beautiful Weybridge in the lovely and picturesque Surrey. I studied A levels in Film Studies, History and Sociology in academic year 2011-2012, lovely staff and great network of students. I had many good memories here, made some great friends from all walks of life. Ironically my mother studied here and did catering, went on to become a chef 👩‍🍳.

Brooklands Collage are not organised and dishonest, and as a result my company has suffered financial losses with regard to the apprenticeship grants. My company took on a carpenter apprentice for nearly 2 years and have only now been told we are not eligible for the grant.. shameful.. we will not be taking on any more apprenticeships, which is a shame for those apprentices who are in need. We will be seeking legal advice.

A very enjoyable ‘Burns’ night celebration held in Brooks restaurant at Brooklands college. The food choices were lovely and the meals delicious and excellently presented. Very good value for money.

Fabulous Burns night with friends, food was wonderful as always and plenty of it, the Haggis was piped in which we weren’t expecting. The restaurant was full to capacity but the children worked so hard to get all the drinks and courses out on time. Will definitely go to more evening events at this training restaurant, well worth the small amount you pay.

I believe I saw your building from the M25. Massive belltower, could be mistaken though

A beautiful large college campus that offers a wide range of college courses over 2 campuses. The buildings are well placed and the surrounding areas of forest holds a walking path that leads to a car park, local pub and Weybridge train station. Here you can also find a cab service that stay around the train station. The campus has a parking area as you enter and a security hut that you have to approach before being allowed on site. As a previous adult learner here, I would recommend this college to anyone as one to check before they make their decisions.

The Training Restaurant is not to be missed. Fabulour food with great service incredibly cheap.

I absolutely loved this college i loved the teachers they were sooo good I really miss college 😭

Brooklands College is a very good college and they can help you achieve your future. And have good teachers with respect

Very rude staff and terrible atmosphere

Incapable of providing bursary on time. Been this way for years. Happened when i attended around 4 years ago and also in this current year of my sister attending. Considering our father is on benefits due to health conditions it is unfair that he now has to front the money out of what they need for food, heating e.t.c.

Glad I chose this college over my local. Had some brilliant teachers and recommend for all. Campus is very large, canteen is a good size also. The building is full of history and it has a very large tech department. Library on campus was a really good place to use the computers for free and access WIFI. Overall good place to learn

We came to Brooks for the first time last night. It wont be the last. The young people who are studying at the college all came together to give us a wonderful evening. They worked so hard to get it right, and really did just that. The food was excellent, I enjoyed some excellent Curried Parsnip soup. Loads of lovely flavours running through it. After that I had the traditional Christmas fare which was really nice. Moist tasty turkey with very crispy Roast Potatoes and a lovely light Christmas Pudding. I will definitely come back.

Beautifully presented, well thought out and delicious dishes! The waiting staff were tentative and polite, the drinks were very reasonable and the food was delicious. I had a Caesar salad croquette with romaine lettuce puree and crisp leaves. Followed by pan fried beef sirloin with rainbow chard, pumpkin, pickled and fondant carrots and a savoy cabbage leaf! For dessert the chocolate fondant with milk ice cream. The courses started with a selection of bread and finished with tea / coffee and petit fours ( which weren't great to be honest)

The food choice on the menu was good and the quality and presentation excellent. The students waiting and serving in the restaurant were at various stages during their training course and many of them showed much promise in being able to deliver good customer service - they engaged positively with customers and were proactive in checking that everything was in order. The atmosphere was relaxed and positive and it was an all round very enjoyable experience. Well done everyone working at Brooks today!

Considering its a college restaurant , its brilliant, food was tasty, hot and well presented. Must have been 100 people in room and my only comment it was far too noisy, never been in anywhere so noisy , couldn't even chat easily so a shame

Very good location and environment.

Been here for 2 years. Good lecturers but not run well and is poorly organised. Needs a lot of improvement.

Been a student here for 2 years, great lectures but terribly run and lack of teaching. Engineering is meant to be there specialty but has swiftly gone down hill.

This is a great college with many corses the staff are always very helpful and friendly I like the open plan reception. The training restaurant is not to be missed the food is amazing and it’s all done by the students. I have been many times and the service is always great from the time you walk in until the time you leave these students are amazing and they work hard the prices are very reasonable for the service you get.

As a student here for 1 year, I had a really horrible time! Would not be recommending this school to anyone in the area.

WOW amazing place. huge facilities with a mixture of old and new buildings.

Had a two course Sunday lunch with my wife and 2 year old daughter yesterday. Wonderful food and friendly service. Not overly cheap but we did have a £50 gift voucher as a present to soften the bill! Would go again, and Mercedes world is only a short walk.

Very good college, did many courses here.

We normally Celebrate Burns Night at home but when we found that Brooklands had their own we jumped at the opportunity. We'd heard nothing but rave reviews about the quality of the teaching and were certainly not disappointed. It was great to be the "guinea pigs" and lovely to be fussed over. The food was exceptional, beautifully laid out and served with experience normally seen only in a silver service restaurant. There was no chance of going hungry, the helpings were extremely generous, Apparently one large booking failed to show which was disappointing for the students who had prepared each portion with genuine attention to detail.

Within a modern hotel, I eat here 4-5 times per year. Good quality as said and also nice people to meet. Their main customers are work travellers and you can understand from high prices. Just the menu is really limited at at the end everyone eats always the same food: steak, potatoes, fish and chips. Lamb for the brave. A good wine list but really expensive.

This is a good stopover before and after viewing the museum exhibits . The cafe is clean and well maintained and serves a good variety of hot and cold food .Staff were friendly and attentive .We would have returned for afternoon tea had the prices not been as high . The younger members of our party were charged £10 for a coke, orange juice and a croissant ! We were a large party of eight and could only just afford snacks let alone a main meal . For a similar amount we could have had out of this world starters at the five star Brooklands Hotel ! If we lived locally we would visit often but pack a picnic !

Good food and very good service, enjoyed what i had but felt all of the menu was slightly pricey. Would probably plan ahead and take my own food (Sandwich) next time I visit the museum due to the pricing.

It does a lot for students who study there and gets excellent results

Had a lovely evening with friends warm welcome when we arrived attentive waiters and food very good a little bit expensive for area but worth it,

A well known engineering college, great faculty and well equipped.

After looking at the planes, exhibits and museum it is a wonderful place to eat. It has a nice atmosphere with hot and cold food to eat. We love eating outside when the weather is good as they have picnic tables outside. We love visiting the cafe when we go to Brooklands The staff are always friendly and helpful.

I visited the restaurant on 9 June 2016 for lunch with my mother. We were greeeted warmly by students in the bar area and asked if we would like drinks. We were then shown to our table. The menu was of an extremely high standard, I had the rocqfort mousse with bee pollen as a starter. Just delicous. My mother had chicken and I had pan friend salmon. Generous portions and very good selection of veggies. We both had dessert. A lovely way to serve dessert, a student brings you a trolley to your table side and describes each dish. I found all students to be willing and hardworking, in particular I would mention Chantelle who excells and brings her personality enhance her customer service style. A wonderful lunch. I can recommend this restaurant whole heartedly. I will be trying their Christmas lunch menu this year and will return for future lunches.

Visited in April. It was quite busy so the service could have been better. Food was ok but have had better but worth another visit

We had Great lunchtime food and service from our waiter, nice surroundings and the wine was particularly good.

Nice menu and good choice of wines. Very charming waitress; hardly any other diners so atmosphere was a little lacking, but fine for us as we wanted a quiet, romantic lunch.

This is a training restaurant staffed by attractive, eloquent young people who want to have a career in catering.

There were four in our party and we thought to try out the training college for a change and were delighted. We will certainly be returning and soon! I have indicated it is fine dining - which it is but it was the price of a cafe!

I did city & guilds catering 150 & 151 in the years 1965 to 1967. I loved it. It was a beautiful place. I have lived in Australia for the last 47 years & just wondered (for nostalgic reasons) if the college was still operating. I'm glad to see it still is.
