Paid for breakfast here as we were staying in the Premier Inn. First morning, they ran out of plates, cups, glasses, only 2 members of staff couldn't keep up with the demand. ( not their fault) Food was OK, not the best we've had but the plates and cups were filthy. Had to go through several to find a cleanish one. Definitely not worth the money wouldn't go here again!!!

Visited for breakfast, hardly any food available, long wait for hot food to be refilled. No fruit, no pastries, no crumpets or pancakes. Juices mostly empty. Had to use forks for tea making as no spoons available. Floors dirty. Have visited many Brewers Fayre's and always had a lovely breakfast. Was very disappointed in this particular one.

I stayed at the premier inn and decided to go here for dinner and breakfast. I had very mixed feelings about brewers fayre over my terrible experience at beefeater. But it was much better than I thought it would be! Got the chicken and rib combo. Very tasty, very good portion sizes and quality and good value! You do need to order at the bar and not wait for the waitress to come. Toilets are decent, you do need to go upstairs for the toilets though. Brewers fayre felt like a combination of harvester and wetherspoon. The breakfast buffet was very different to dinner (not in a good way). Very long queues, most foods and essentials were always out of stock and a huge lack of staff (same amount of staff as dinner as well), there were only 2-5 staff that I saw in the restaurant! The food at breakfast was pretty decent though. Here's some advice for brewers fayre, if you don't have that much staff in your restaurant then why not just recruit the restaurant and hire more people! At least dinner was excellent. Highly recommend (for dinner only)

Probably the best place I have full English breakfast. Absolutely love it. Lots to choose from, including fresh fruit salad, juice, coffee, greek yogurt, all sorts of pancakes and croissants etc. Not to forget the kids eat free, plus Blue light card discount 🙂 Breakfast for 4, cost me under £18.

Ordered food for a table of six. Waited over 45 mins before asking a member of staff for an update, only to be told they had forgotten about our order and would do it right away. Waited a further 20 mins. When it finally arrived, the food wasn’t great. Cold chips and overcooked steak. They offered free desserts as an apology and then said they didn’t have what we wanted. Picked a cadburys flake sundae instead and when we received them was told they had run out of flakes. Then after finishing the sundaes, a waitress came out and said “oh yeah we do have flakes” and literally bought out some flakes on a plate.

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a good while. We had a table of 10. Ordered our food at the same time at the bar, yet some of it kept coming out way before the other. Mains being delivered to the table before the starters have even been finished! Food overcooked. Mac and cheese bites over cooked. Onion rings over cooked. My child's burger was like charcoal. Food couldn't be prepared in time to be delivered at the same time with everyone's dishes. Deserts were fine, but again, deserts being brought out way to fast and whilst main coarse plates still on the table. The staff were very friendly however and apologetic but kept making the same mistakes. The bar was understaffed. One poor lad taking food orders and making drinks. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

Food was good when it came out we ordered our food at the bar which was fine it was not busy. Problem being that it took 1 hour and 20 minutes for the food to come out and it was not too hot it seemed like it had been waiting around for a while under a hot plate. There was only a few staff which made the atmosphere quite flat although they did clear tables reasonably quickly.

Just don’t even bother. We usually eat at the beefeater or the harvester every other week. Today we decided to try brewers Faye , don’t get me wrong I read the reviews and was abit disappointed but I thought I’d give it the benefit of the doubt. We arrived at our reserved table at 7pm and was greeted by a lovley lady called Jaqueli. I was disappointed that we had to order at the bar area in which there was only 1 bloke serving. I didn’t get to order our food until 7.45 as I was waiting at the bar in a Que to order our food for around 30 minutes. Once the waitress finished her shift at 8pm and left, we were completely forgotten about, our food turned up around 8.25. We finished what we wanted of our food in which we were very dissapointed as the food was full of grease. We ended up waiting an hour with our finished plates on the table for our desserts that never turned up. My partner went up to the bar twice within that hour in which we still had dirty plates on our table. We ended up going up to the bar and getting a refund for our desserts which were £25 it was 9.30pm by this point. We had our 5 children with us who were also disappointed. I will never return and it’s a shame because this could have been our new local, We didn’t get any apology, we never got asked if our food was okay or if we needed anything. We spent a total of 2 and a half hours here because of long wait times, and we didn’t even get to have dessert. Very understaffed.

The staff on duty tonight were amazing and coped well considering the place was fully booked tonight, as being valentines day, however, management felt it was a good idea to only have one person at the bar to take the food and drink orders??? which meant a very lengthy wait to order, so it's best to get everything ordered in one go! The downside to the staff shortage on what should be a special day meant that your valentine sat alone at a table waiting for their loved one to queue for 30mins to order food. If management wants to save costs on staff, either close the place or introduce a table ordering app, but ideally, you need more staff at front of house, you need to spend money to make money, I certainly would have spent more tonight if I could have ordered easily and I'm sure many others would have to, but the queuing time was very off-putting.

Had our choice of table due to not being too busy. However, with the standard Brewers Fayre service where you order at the bar, you'd think they would put more staff on to cater for that. Long line of people waiting to order at the bar and then a long wait for both mains and desserts. Overall the food was good but long waits and our finished plates were with us for a while

But what makes them both stand out ,is the level of service they provide a Lady who obviously frequently attends the restaurant ,who could be considered is a regular , and has certain needs , even though it was extremely busy ,both stop by just to ensure the customer was okay and asked about her day . This obviously enlightened the woman’s day ( she was made to feel special ) . Nothing was too much … it actually made my day to witness this level of Kindness . Thank You 😀

I'd like to start by saying we dined as a table of 16... so our expectations were set accordingly. The table had been booked months in advance - but we were left waiting 45 minutes after our booking time to be seated (giving the benefit of doubt to the staff, this may have been because the previous large table had taken longer than expected). As this was for a Christmas meal, one of the party confirmed the booking and advised what we would be eating... but we were still required to queue at the bar and tell the (only) server there what we were having... three courses each, plus what drinks etc took a long time. Fair enough... food took a long time to come out but in fairness the freshly cooked stuff was pretty good. I had the sirloin (made rare and very tasty) over a spinach and mushroom pastry parcel... spinach was unflavoured but the mushroom sauce complimented it nicely. I didn't have the carvery, but my understanding from the others is that the meat was delicious but the sides and trimmings were lacking in quality (hard carrots, dry potatoes). The staff we had were very good. I cannot fault a single one of them because there were working their backsides off....but that said, coming up to Christmas, on a Sunday afternoon, two members of staff on tables, one working between the kitchen and carvery, and one behind bar to take orders and sort drinks is simply not enough. Poor management over poor service, certainly. We had a similar experience last year- so perhaps they simply struggle with large bookings or during busy periods with staff shortages- but we'll be looking elsewhere for a family Christmas meal I'm 2024.

When you order vegan food, you don’t expect to have to question what is on your plate! There were Yorkshire puddings that were NOT vegetarian mixed with the vegan food! the waitress apologised We were not asked at any point about allergies or dietary requirements. The vegan burger came with bright yellow vegan coleslaw that tasted awful and was not on the menu. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was pleasant.

Been here a couple of times recently. Most recently it was busy but I'm not really sure why. Buffet-style breakfast means you help yourself but perhaps the heaters weren't turned up as we all felt food was a bit cold. Not much choice either.

After 5 hours of travelling we arrived at the premier inn next door. We decided to have something to eat. We went to the bar to order our drinks and asked what time service was on until. We got told 9 it was 8 at the time. He asked us if we were part of the premier inn or we wouldnt get a table due to them being busy and having bookings. We looked around the place was barely half full. We sat down thinking he would bring our drinks over as he only served 1 out of 3 ordered drinks. After 10mins of waiting we went back to the bar to be told he forgot about them. We ordered our food, 3 starters and 3 mains. The food arived slower than usual, i had nachos they had a small amount of cheese and they looked like the toppings had been put on with a catapult. My collegues ordered wings and mac and cheese bits. The chicken was like rubber as if it had been re-cooked. The mac and cheese bites looked shocking. Over cooked and the past was brown inside. Then the mains come what a shock they were. I had mixed grill with pink state. It was like chewing on rubber. i couldnt eat it. Sure it must have been cooked from frozen as it was brutal, i had peas on my plate and they were a yellow colour. They had been steamed that much the colour had left them. Everything served was very poor standard and not very nice. We were asked how the meal was and i said i have never had yellow peas before to the reply ohh really as she was walking off. Just seemed like the staff wanted and early finish and to get rid of us. We stayed here 3 nights and wouldnt eat in there again.

Disappointing. Popped in for dinner last night and honestly expected a lot more. Staff were standing around but tables were left dirty/uncleared. Ordered at the bar and food cam quickly but the steak was seared so deep the whole thing tasted burned, and the onion rings were greasy/soggy so I guess the oil was too cold. I really only ate the chips. No staff checked in or cleared the table until we left, 30 minutes after we stopped eating the food.

Firstly, the hostess was unwelcoming and rude. She can't even smile or say hello? This is not the type of person that should be greeting guests. The barman made me feel like I was ordering food from a McDonald's. He was even more unwelcoming, depressing and downright rude. There was one other female staff member who was very friendly and professional. She made us aware of the coleslaw absence and offered a salad bowl instead, something the man at the bar should've done, as she rightly insinuated. As I said, the man at the bar made me feel like I was at a McDonald's, and so did the food. It was clearly not fresh and just re-heated. The food quickly got cold and the chips were a bit hard. The burger was basically a big mac. Sorry, McDonald's, you're actually better than these guys. The restaurant was not clean with sticky menus and poorly sanitised tables. The glasses were covered with water marks and obviously not polished. Too expensive, just go to McDonald's.

Went here for a change as a lot of places are charging £15+ per head now for a sit down breakfast. This was £9.99 all in including buffet English breakfast, tea, coffee, fruit juice, cereals, toast etc. 'Continental style' also included in the £9.99 price so breads and pastries also available. Can't complain about the price and the food wasn't bad either. If your not staying in the attached hotel I would heavily recommend booking a table at least 24 hours before and not to try as a 'walk in' on the day especially if more than 2 of you.

We have nothing but praise for the quality of service we received on an overnight stay at the Premier Inn to which this is attached. We were sooo impressed that, even being 2 staff down, the manager Becky and bar tender Millie were alone in front of house and they were exceptional! I've run a busy venue and know how difficult it can be even when fully staffed, so a massive thumbs up from myself and my partner to them and the kitchen staff. Having delivered this superb service for dinner, Becky (manager) was in place with the same incredible and friendly service for our breakfast on what must have been around 4 hours sleep 😬. The service was seamless throughout. Thank you Becky and the team!

Seaview hotel room a bonus and cannot really complain. Beautiful place. However, disappointment was that they had no fish and chips as they forgot my order and ordered me scampi and chips as alternative. Was decent but nothing beats fish and chips on the beach. The other disappointment was that the curtains did not close full way. This let in sunlight….so a disappointment

Great service, bacon was awful but apart from that all good. It was a good buffet and a nice Seaview to go with it

I had a really good breakfast here. For a tenner you can start with toast or serial. Then on a selection of sausage, egg, hash brown with beans, bacon and tomatoes plus mushrooms. Cooked well. At a tenner you would be daft not to try this place out.

Understaffed, so took time to be seated and to order at the bar. The food was poor with lukewarm lasagne, dry, hard garlic bread and soggy chips. On check back they offered to replace the lasagne and bread, but I'd eaten enough not to be able to eat another meal, so plumped for fresh garlic bread. The replacement bread was limp, soft and tasteless, so gave up and left. I scored service higher as one waitress did check back and try and solve the issues, but she was not the chef, so a losing battle.

If you're after fine dining, you don't go to Brewers fayre, everybody knows that. However, they usually have great offers for family dining, it's clean and staff are generally good. Unlimited breakfast is great when it's a buffet, not so when they're doing order as much as you like, they need a digital ordering system (server led, or customer)

Food was ok but you know your in a dodgy area when the McDonald's have blue lights installed in toilets as a security measure to stop intravenous drug use!

I have been there couple of time. staff are very rude and unprofessional and very un-experienced. They took 45 minutes to make just £10 order. Restaurant doesn't have sense and time frame and totally sense less

Me and my mates ordered a cookie dough each. it wasn’t dough it was runny, it was like biting grains of sand. It was sooo sugary, and undercooked, my friends chest started hurting and i’m no doctor, but this may be linked. The icecream we paid 50p extra for, was a white soup. However the staff were nice they tried their best, he even tried cooking the cookie dough more but it was still runny. Southend Creams is not for the weak!!

Had an amazing night for the opening weekend, food was incredible, tasty and fresh. Atmosphere was very friendly and joyful from all the bar staff. Looking forward to my next visit already.
