We had some lovely food and did the tour after. It would have been nice if staff told us we could have 10% off our food as we were doing the tour, but we weren’t told that till after we had paid and no offer of a refund was made. Felt very money making rather than an experience to be savoured. Barry was an entertaining tour guide and clearly enjoyed his life long career at the brewery.

Did the brewery tour first, with Dave, a superb guide, knowledgeable and funny...excellent value for money, £20 for full tour plus tasting menu at the end..(I recommend eating beforehand, especially if you're doing the 11am slot, some of the beverages are deceptively strong!!)...followed by lunch at Hicks Bar...tasty, reasonably priced ..10/10

Average tour, but a very good and knowledgeable guide. Biggest grumble was that when we visited (Friday morning) the place was closing down for the week. They don't actually show you around the main brewery (they say for health and safety reasons). Instead you get to see a much smaller limited batch production setup, about the size of a tennis court. This was not doing anything, so it was just looking at a collection of tanks and pipes. Tour finished at the cask filling area. Had we done this bit first we would have seen something, but as it was approaching lunch Friday, the end of the working week, it was just apologies and watching people sweeping up. The talk on the history of the brewery and how they make beer was very good, but the actual tour, well let's say I have done other brewery tours that you see more, also at £20 hmmm.

I’ve been a big fan of St Austell beers for a while now and thought I’d pay a quick visit to the brewery while I was visiting Cornwall. As well as buying some beer and souvenirs, we ended up staying for lunch at Hicks Bar. I can’t recommend it highly enough, the staff are really friendly, helpful and make you feel very welcome. The food was really good and the restaurant was clean, modern and family friendly (we have a 4 yr old and an 8 yr old). I’m really glad I took the time to visit, and highly recommend it if you’re in the area.

I visited to buy from the brewery shop only. There are no tours at the moment due to COVID19, unfortunately. I have done the tour in the past and this was pretty good so keep this in your To do list when they are able to restart!The shop is well stocked with beer from the on site brewery, including all the regular favourites, plus special one off brews. There are also various wines and spirits.Prices are great, considering everything is produced on site, and the service was excellent, with help getting my purchases to my car (with the required distancing maintained at all times). Check opening times before a visit as these may not be the usual times.

We visited on the off chance that tours would be happening, the brewery tours and restaurant were closed due to COVID. However, all was not lost as the shop was open.The friendly greeting was all we needed to enter and discovered a great range of souvenirs. We made up a number of beer gift packs, and probably saved a few pounds. There were a number of local Gins for sale as well as beers and a good range of brewing memorabilia. If you are passing its is worth a look.

We arrived at the Brewery on a rainy chilly day but from the very first we soon became warm and totally engrossed with the atmosphere of the building. First stop a coffee to get us alert and ready for our experience. The mixture of old and new was exhilarating. The staff throughout made it a pleasant and informative trip through time and the life of St.Austell Brewery. The sampling area was bright and jolly and you could make your own bottle label to take home for a souvenir. The food was delicious but make sure you have saved enough time to enjoy everything.

This was one of the best tours we have been on. We were booked onto the two hour Brewhouse Tour and it was fascinating! I don’t drink beer, so it was very much a trip with my husband in mind, but even I found the whole place interesting. Our tour guide was Roy, who has been part of it for over 40 years, so he really knew his stuff and was a great host. In honesty, he was brilliant. The facilities are done to a great standard and it is all well thought out. Even the pasty was perfect! The price (we paid £25 each) was reasonable as the service and attention to detail you get is worth every penny. The only thing to mention is that there is an early shift on Fridays in order to clean the equipment, so we didn’t get to see some parts of the process ‘at work’. However this didn’t take away from the experience and no matter what day, I’d highly recommend a visit.

We are local to this establishment and never been here before. We went for lunch only and were pleasantly surprised. .The place has a reasonable size carpark, good disabled access, and the welcoming is friendly. The whole place looks clean and tidy. The food was excellent and the table service was all that could be asked for. The prices were a little inflated over local pubs, but the Brewery is a tourist attraction, so this can be expected. However everyone in our party of 5 said they would come back again and we will.

We phoned ahead and booked ourselves on a tour just to make sure we didn't miss out. The staff were all very helpful and attentive and we learned a lot about the workings of the brewery. Our group of about 8 were given the choice of a pint, a bottle to take home or a tasting - we were the only 2 to choose the tastings which meant we got our informative guides sole attention and tried 7 or 8 delicious ales to compare and contrast. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to our next visit.

You might expect that you’d be trying to persuade yourself that the food is OK just so you could go for lunch to try some of the great range of beer at the bar, but you’d be wrong: the food is excellent and the surroundings light and airy. We had very good crab sandwiches, a very classy burger and scampi and chips. As you’d expect, there is an extensive range of St Austell beers, both on tap and bottled, including some special and small batch brews, so plenty to try, which only serves to encourage you to visit the shop afterwards. There’s also a good range of wine and soft drinks.

We paid a visit the St Austell Brewery hoping for a tour and were disapointed to learn that the Brewery tours were no longer available... because of 'Health & Safety' (soon we won't be able to do anything!!)

I call in at St Austell Brewery every time I visit Cornwall, not only to stock up on their gorgeous ales, but the brewery tour is excellent value, and good food and real ales are available in the bar/restaurant.

After seeing their stall at the St Austell Food Fare, we decided to visit the brewery. We did the tour, not only was it very informative, it was extremely enjoyable. They also have on site bar that you can visit without doing the tour, the food was excellent.

Visited the shop and Hicks bar, good range of beers on offer and the museum next to the bar was fasinating.

We had a great tour with Anne who showed us the brewery and will look out for Skinners Ales here in Essex and Australia!

Visited as part of a family day out. Guided tour included a free taster before you start and a drink or two bottles at the end (soft drink for 14 to 17 year olds). Guided tour lasted around an hour and was very interesting- obviously a company proud of its heritage. Would recommend the pub food for a meal afterwards

So today was meant to be a rainy day. So we thought we'd give it a try.

Called on a very wet day and they were extremely busy buy we managed to find a table. We ate off the specials board which always contains different meals from normal pubs specials boards. My 'Kevins Fried Chicken' was really good in quality, quantity and value.

The visitor centre at St Austell brewery is free. The "brewery " tour which cost us £39 for 2 adults and 3 children involved a tour of the free visitor centre which we had already seen (for free). It included watching a film of the brewery which is no longer in use, not the brewery that St Austell use for brewing.

Popped in here by chance, and so glad we did. The staff were so friendly. We did not take the tour, but those who did were very impressed. We bought things from the shop, then went up to the bar for a drink. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, and though we did not eat, other people were enjoying their meals. Would recommend going here when in St Austell.

Recently went with friends on the tour. Although a few bits not running as it's a Saturday it was a great tour. Our Tour guide "Roy" was brilliant and so very welcoming. Excellent value. Food looked superb in the cafe but we stuck to the Tribute.

We enjoyed our lunch here after a brewery tour. The menu has a broad selection and I decided to have Ploughman's

The staff were friendly, the service was prompt, the food was good. It's about as good as you could hope for from a family friendly restaurant at the price that it is.

Absolutely wonderful visit. The cream tea was the best I think I’ve ever had. Warm scones, huge pot of cream and delicious jam, must be homemade. The tea was piping hot and came with an additional tea bag should you like it strong.
