We booked for a family lunch of 10 for our son's 30th birthday followed by bowling at Mr G's in Brandon. The staff were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing (or 'banging' as our grandson said 😄). We were bowling after lunch, which was a bit delayed, but we were kept informed which was fine. Lots of fun bowling too. Well done Mr G's we all had a fantastic time 👏.

I felt very underwhelmed at the service when I went to order food and drink as. I was told by a lady at the bar she wasn’t serving no one and proceeded to go into the kitchen the young lady at the bar who I believe we Honor ?? seemed very stressed by herself and probably needed helping which her coworker , we did leave shortly after as felt unwelcomed. I heard a comment of She needs to work harder she’s going on holiday towards the young lady which I didn’t feel was fair . Have to say the young lady at the bar did do exceptionally well whilst we was there in our short visit

Went here for 12yr old birthday treat. First time here.. We played 2 games of bowling and booked carvery for after. Carvery food was great. Fresh produce, chef carving meat was friendly. Wide choice of veg. Very tasty. Great day. Would definitely visit again would reccomend. Would need to book. Good value for money. Looking forward to going again soon

First time here for the carvery and pleasantly surprised. Not the most salubrious surroundings admittedly but we could not fault the food or service. The carvery had four choices of meat, beef, turkey, lamb and pork. The potatoes and parsnips were delicious and the vegetables were not overcooked. There was plenty of meat and the meal was lovely and hot. I don't think it's the cheapest carvery around but well worth the money we paid.

First time been for food, slow service even on the basics like drinks but friendly service. Food was standard for the venue and price. Nice venue for families, friends or groups but they would suffer if larger groups were in at the time. However I’ll try again just to see as not completely disappointed as we had the time to wait.

Visited with friends - 1st time to Brandon - wasn't sure what to expect "carvery in a bowling alley?" - what a surprise! The food was excellent - piping hot and a choice of 4 meats. The vegetables were regularly topped up and cooked to perfection with a great choice of sauces / gravy to accompany. Not sure how we all managed dessert but that was also good - not a single complaint from our table. Will definitely revisit next time we are in the area - what a find!!

Wonderful morning bowling and lunch. Called in for a drink before bowling the whole place is very clean from the bar/restaurant area to bowling lanes and toilets. Good offer for the children’s bowling, two games and chicken nuggets and chips for £7.00. With two games for adults £5.00. Bowling alley has 8/lanes all appear in good condition except the bumpers did not work on our lanes so we were moved to a different lane. The children’s meals were good we had jacket potatoes chilli an one beans both served with a fresh side salad. Service good too was asked when we were bowing if we wanted to order our food so ready when we finished. All other food seen looked good and restaurant area busy with non bowlers so a good sign. Other offers i.e. children’s parties are good value for money too.

The food was ok when it finally arrived.. But the service is sadly lacking.. The young lady concerned seemed more interested in entertaining her line of male drinkers.. Very very loudly.. Also the instruction.. Dont. Go downstairs seemed to be to save her walking further than a few feet from the bar.

We love traditional English food, and in particular a Roast Dinner. We therefore visit a lot of carverys on our travels and have to say this one, on our very own doorstep, is the best we have ever visited. The food is varied, very well cooked indeed. We had 4 choices of meat to choose from and an array of well cooked and tasty vegetables. The desserts were excellent too. I can recommend the Raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake! we had a choice of beef, lamb, Pork or Turkey and the portions were generous, the price value for money. It is advisable to book for the Sunday carvery.

After leaving it a bit late I called Mr G's hoping they could fit our works party in (nine of us), we arranged eating followed by bowling. On the night the staff were fantastic, we found out table decked out with Christmas crackers and decoration, all the food arrived together, the food was great and all of us from 16 to 60 had a great time bowling! It was a perfect way to entertain a broad age range for the evening, will definitely be back.

3 of us showed up without a reservation due to late decision to eat out, very busy, but management assured we would be welcome and assigned us a table as a local friend and his wife were finished. Ordered drinks that came quickly. After 20 minutes, one of the team gave us directions to the carvery where one of the management team was carving. Choice of 4 meats, all tasted wonderful and the gravy was excellent. Finished and all plates cleaned, offered a range of desserts,but despite what we observed, they looked yummy. Will go back with my family soon. Thank you for an enjoyable lunch

Thank you for making it extra special with the balloons and banners for our table. Such a kind and thoughtful touch. Couldn’t recommend Mr G’s more for a lovely family evening. Great food and fun atmosphere. Thanks again The Lyes Family xx

I was pleasantly surprised by this place - the cleanliness, and the bar. There's only about 8 lanes so, like us, you may have a short wait for one. Anyway, my 2 daughters (aged 3 and 5) both beat me!! I beat my wife, though, so that's OK I suppose. There's no parking outside, but there is a free car park just around the corner by the local community centre.

When me and my sister arrived for our bowling trip the service was good although we had to wait a for someone to come and serve us. However, the staff were friendly and sorted us out with our bowling shoes straight away. As it was during half term the bowling alleys were empty and there was only one other lane being used so it was quite peaceful. Been here many times before, and fails to disappoint.

My brother and his partner took me there as my treat for them letting me stay with them. When I saw it I was not hopeful for a decent steak, which my brother had promised I could get. So we ordered at the bar and paid up front and went back to sit in the booth with his partner. I was a bit perturbed by the language from the booth next to us occupied by some youngish men. To be honest I was wanting to leave. Long story short they left the food came, from the garlic bread starters we all shared to the last mouthful of my desert it was very tasty. I am so fussy with steak normally I will only order fillet, my brother assured me it was good and I really enjoyed it. It was cooked to perfection, the sides were good to. Thank you for restoring my faith in other steaks and whatever you do don't change your supplier

The food was of good quality and there was a good selection, however I would like to make a few suggestions.Who ever is in charge of portion control really needs to be more careful as I ended up with hardly any chips and was hungry after my meal whilst another person had what appears to be a somewhat large portion and ended up leaving theirs. which by the time they had finished would have been cold and made me look greedy to ask for them. To save embarrassment just make sure all the portions are the same size.I was driving and when eventually someone came out of the backroom to serve me I thought the price that I was charged for a simple soda was a little steep. If it had been less expensive maybe I would have bought a desert to make up for the shortfall in my chip portion?The bowling was reasonable however there didn't appear to be anyone on hand to assist if the machinery broke down. There wasn't a good selection of balls either.The game of bowling was a good price and we were able to start the game when we choose to without any hanging about.Pretty average, if it didn't have a bowling area I wouldn't have made a special effort

Came today with my husband, two sons and my baby. We booked over the phone which was quick and easy. On arrival there was no queue. The bowling shoes were all Velcro which was easy, laces are annoying. There was a ramp up to the lane for our pram. Our names were all displayed ready for us to start the fun. Everything was clean and tidy, toilets are really dated. Drinks were reasonable. My only niggle was that it was rather cold!

My partner and I went here for a carvery last Sunday, usually we avoid carveries as our experience in other places haven't been exactly good, we prefer just to have a roast, however, this was absolutely delicious and exceeded any our expectation, firstly and most importantly was the high quality of the meat, 4 were available, I had beef and pork, my partner had lam and pork, turkey was the other option, it was delicious,cooked perfectly, it melted in your mouth, you could definitely tell it was from a butcher, which I later found out and had it confirmed by the chef and also the chef gave very generous portions, more than 3 slices of each, all the sauces,apple,horseradish,cranberry were home made, the veg was lovely and fresh, ok so the yorkshire puds weren't home made and neither was the parsnips or roast potatoes but it did not spoil the delicious food.After the food we sat in the bar and chatted to the chef and also his brother who are both owners of the establishment, they were very friendly as were all the staff. I cannot fault this meal and company at all, very reasonably priced too, well worth a visit.

I thought long and hard about my rating and I decided on 3 star as average.... my reasons for this is because it is average, but do not take this the wrong way, average is absolutely fine! We had one lane game of bowling which was lovely, there are around 6 lanes and it was fun. We then went and ate through in the restuarant part, the food was nice, normal stuff Burgers, Pizza, Lasagne etc. I had a Pizza which was very nice and all the food come out together and was hot. All in all it was a nice night out and value for money is good. For this to be a 4 star rating you would need uniforms for the staff and a bigger selection of food but honestly if your after a bite to eat and a bit of bowling this is perfect if your near BrandonThank you and im sure we will be back at somepoint :)

We were introduced to Mr G's last Sunday by our neighbours (a family of four) and, before going, hoped at best we might get a burger & chips (or soup in a basket?!) but WOW! what a surprise! A first class carvery, with 4 meats, was on offer, accompanied by a great choice of vegetables, plus Yorkshire pudding, rich gravy and all the expected sauces. The staff were all most welcoming & helpful, both at the servery and in the restaurant itself, as well as at the bar. There was a comprehensive dessert menu shown on request but we had eaten enough by then and moved on to the bowling lanes for post-dining activity! We really had a good time, with lots of laughs with the bowling and the satisfaction of being well-fed, and all at a very acceptable and easily repeatable price. See you again soon, Mr G's!

Shower in the main hall way with just a glass panel so no dignity whatsoever totally disgusting.

As I stated in a previous review, I visit Mr G's Every Sunday for lunch, but these past 3 Sundays there has been no carvery as the chef was away on holiday!So we had to choose meals from the menu :-) There was a great choice and everything that my friend and I had looked & tasted great. The steaks were done to perfection, the Chili very tasty with a good spice blend, the Scampi was lovely too.All their food is cooked fresh to order, comes out nice & hot, well presented & tastes real good too.It made a nice change to be able to sample their main menu, but I am so glad that the chef is back for this Sunday as I have so missed my carvery :-) As always, the staff there are always friendly, kind and considerate, they can't do enough to help.Very happy to highly recommend Mr G's to anyone :-)

Very polite chap at the bowling centre took our booking and later change our booking time.Found the bowling centre easily in Brandon and parked in free car park near by.Friendly greeting on arrival. Changed into clean good condition bowling shoes. Good school holiday offer of £5/person for two games.All our names were loaded by the staff - that saved us from having to waste time fathoming out the computer system.We enjoyed two fun games using a good wide choice of bowling ball finger sizes and weights. The cosmic graphics and lights added to the atmosphere. Got a round of drinks from the bar which was well priced. Good choice. Really enjoyed our visit to Mr G's Bowling Centre and would recommended it highly for a fun few hours of bowling.

After visiting Mr G's now for some time, I can say, hand on heart, that this is the "BEST" Sunday carvery you will find anywhere local, but best to phone and book first, so not to be disappointed as they get very busy. The meats are always cooked to perfection and the roast potatoes are "ALWAYS" crispy, you are offered a good selection of veg and beautiful gravy! To top this off, you find a staff, who are caring and courteous, and can not do enough to help. I have also been fortunate to sample some of their breakfast menu, again, this was cooked to perfection & served with a smile!I can recommend Mr G's, their service & their food, and of course the staff, especially ones who always make me feel so welcome & look after me, Thank you.

Having eaten nearby one evening we decided to go bowling at this venue. When we entered there was a sign telling us to go to the bar if we wished to bowl. We did this and bought a drink before checking in for the bowling.There was no waiting and the cost of two games each for two people with shoe hire came to about £8 if memory serves me correctly. It was ridiculously cheap anyway.The bowling lanes (I think 8) were in good order with no breakdowns or problems and the atmosphere very pleasant. We will certainly be returning to bowl here again.

We visited Mr G's while on a trip to High Lodge Thetford Forest from Centre Parcs. After playing in the fresh air all morning we were hungry so decided to have lunch at Mr G's too. It took a while to track down Mr G's, even with satnav and once we found it it was equally as tricky to find the way in. There is no signage to say the doors are round the corner and it looked closed from the street. The free parking mentioned in other reviews was hard to find and quite a walk away so we parked in Tescos and walked into town, at least we could find our way back there since we're not familiar with the town.We ordered food. My daughter has allergies but no effort was made to check what she could have or double check the ingredients of things I asked about. This is poor for a restaurant/cafe these days and I have to say it's the first time I've been faced with someone who didn't really seem bothered or take the allergy queries seriously. This is the main reason I'm marking down to 2 out of 5. The staff didn't seem that friendly or welcoming, no one offered us a menu or even said hello when we arrived which was pretty disappointing. I'm not sure how long we would have waited before someone approached us but I went and ordered at the bar as we were all hungry so didn't want to wait all afternoon to eat. When the food arrived it was ok. It was cooked fresh for us which was nice and we all enjoyed our food.After lunch we went to bowl. The bowling was deserted so we had the place to ourselves pretty much apart from a couple of people doing maintenance. The bowling alley seemed clean, there were plenty of balls to choose from and the decor was quite 'nice' in terms of bowling alley decor. We had fun while bowling and I'd give the bowling 4 out of 5. Overall I'm really disappointed about the food allergy issue and this is a serious shortfall that needs to be addressed by management.

If anyone has ever sampled a better Sunday carvery than this, PLEASE let me know! I have no idea how many carveries I've sampled over the last ten years (granted mainly in East Anglia), but this is by far the very best. So much so that my wife and I are now regular customers. Apart from the fact that my wife is disabled and there are no "close-by" parking facilities, Sunday lunch is second-to-none. Service, staff, food quality and quantity, price, atmosphere all excellent.

I love this Bowling Alley. Highly recommended. Food is great and its very friendly. Free parking in Brandon too which is a bonus. No wonder this place is so popular. Me and the family will definitely visit again.

Visited for the bowling on a monday afternoon, and had the alley to ourselves. Made for a great relaxing few games of bowling. Very reasonably priced. Decided to have some snacks, a jacket potato with beans, and some cheesy chips. Both were hot and delicious and were brought to us at the lane to eat. A great afternoon had.

We've been to Mr G's a few times to eat now and haven't been disappointed. Very good value. Large portions very tasty and great service. Would definitely recommend whether your having a day out with the kids or an evening out with friends!

Its great fun considering its a small town. There is a bar there and it serves good food, so a great place for a complete family night out. The only down side is, you may have to wait for a lane as its quite small.

Staff superb, service excellent and the high standard of the Sunday carvery food is without doubt PERFECT. The tables and chairs coupled with the decor smacks of the 1970's, but then again my wife and I can suffer the surroundings as long as the food and staff, coupled with the prices, are good. All three are second-to-none. Highly recommended.

Friendly helpful staff, good food, large restaurant area, ideal if you have young children as a bit of room to move, pub grub but good quality, and they do an excellent Sunday carvery too..

Excellent food served here. A great selection from toasties and potatoes to the best jack D ribs ever. Good portion size and well presented. A nice relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff.

I eat occasionally at Mr G,s in the market square of Brandon, they seem to accommodate my palate with delicious dishes made freshly. I would recommend the ribs and steak and coleslaw to melt in your mouth, yummy.This is a restaurant with a buzzing vibe it also has a bowling alley along side with 12 lanes

The rooms linked with the bowling are very poor.you have a shower in the hallway,with a clear screen, which means no privacy.the bedsheets i had are stained with paint and the pillow is stained with blood,nuff said

We had a really great night here on Saturday, for a works night out.There were 13 of us in total, we had a meal then 2 games of bowling.The food was fantastic, really good value and really tasty and we were really well looked after by the staff. We had a great laugh bowling, and will definitely be organising more nights out there soon.We've had Sunday carveries here too in the past and they've been great as well. A really nice, family owned and run place, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Have been here a couple of times, the food was great, Sunday Carvery, good varieties of meat and good selection of veg.. Very clean and comfortable environment, reasonable priced. Perfect for those Sundays when you just can't be bothered to cook...

On a freezing day in Brandon we were walking around looking for a place to eat and someone pointed us to Mr. G's. Honestly, we would have never found it otherwise as it isn't really apparent from the outside that there is a restaurant within. Great little place! The owners couldn't have been more friendly and the dishes, club sandwich, bangers and mash, etc., were very tasty and served quickly.Highly recommend for lunch anyway, and will be back.

We have been here a few tines for their Sunday Carvery, which is always very good.The other day we decided to drop in for lunch on a Saturday and was very impressed. The service, atmosphere and food was all great. Every item ordered was delivered promptly and exceeded our expectations. Will definitely be going back again.
