We came here for dinner as staying in the hotel, it was awful. There were only two members of staff working the whole hotel and restaurant. They were run off their feet and the wait times were appalling. We waited an hour for our meal and it wasn't even busy. When the food came it wasn't not great either. The steak was supposed to be rare it was well done. People were sat down on chairs in the queue to for the bar because the wait was so long. Was really disappointed as we had a three year old with us who was hungry. Don't recommend at all!!

There isn’t a single redeeming thing I can say about this place. We know Brewer’s Fayre, and it’s not somewhere you expect great things. But even then it managed to disappoint on every level. We made a booking online for 4:45pm on a Sunday because there were no slots available for 5pm onwards. Does this mean it was busy? Not at all. Most tables empty. Maybe they weren’t allowing bookings because they didn’t actually want to be open? Despite very few customers, the food took 50 minutes to arrive after ordering. This was for 2 adults and a child, so not a big order. Not sure why it took this long when it’s mostly microwaved food (I know because they discussed ‘defrosting’ it when I ordered. They forgot some vegetable sticks from the childs order and when we raised it, they brought a gigantic plate of just-chopped vegetables which would have looked more at home in Pets at Home in the rabbit pen. Staff were utterly miserable. They weren’t familiar with the menu. Tried to upsell extras without mentioning they were extra. For some reason they left a tab open for us and tried to charge us a second time for the entire meal when we ordered dessert. Tables were sticky. Food was a real mixed bag: mostly edible, but looked less like a coherent meal and more like several items plonked on a plate. Smallest piece of steak I’ve ever seen and tough as nails. Compared to other dining options of the ‘chain pub food’ category, sure, it’s a little cheaper. But at least at this location, everything else is way worse. It’s not worth it.

Went for carvery for mine and my friends birthday only to be told they weren’t cooking anymore meat so was closing the carvery, even though it’s advertised 12 to 6pm, it was 4pm when I was there and I had booked a table for 12 people, absolutely appalling, it got worse - took ages for food to come out, food all squashed on floor and seats so had to be moved onto another table, food was cold, side plates for starters still had old ketchup stuck to it, coleslaw tasted off, partner had gammon and chips and it wasn’t right, had funny taste, I haven’t been here for few years as it was shocking before but thought it might have got better but well done Airfield you didn’t disappoint as it is still crap here, if you want a decent meal then go to galleria where there are loads of restaurants. This is my local and still can’t use it. Needless to say mine and friends birthday was ruined.

Only here because the Premier Inn with the Beefeater attached wasn’t available. Bar staff good. Clientele…… Rough. Just wanted a quiet pint. Loud mouthed men and women, shouting, swearing (in front off and at, children). I was supposed to have a pre paid for dinner that evening, but decided to go elsewhere. Will not be returning.

Came here with family and good friends for Easter Sunday and we was not disappointed. The carvery has to be the best in Hatfield. Turkey, Beef, and Gammon and the veg, gravey, and huge Yorkshire puddings and I must add this, the best Macaroni Cheese! Staff always friendly especially Chole, Victoria and Xanthe and the chap who was carving the meat ( Jamie) my Mum said he carved exceptionally well!! Nothing is too much trouble for these lovey staff members and always want to help Great atmospheres well as clean throughout. We had a lovely Easter Sunday Thank you all at the Airfield in Hatfield.

Where do we start. We arrived for our 5pm booking, and were shown to our table. After about 15 mins, we ordered our food and sat back down. At 6.30pm, we still had not had our starter meals, let alone the main course. As a family of four, two of them children, such a situation is totally unacceptable. We addressed this with staff, who apologized and said it would be about 15 minutes more. Customers who arrived AFTER us received their orders, and were eating. We were still waiting. Some even asked why we had not eaten yet. Eventually, the food arrived at 7pm. At no point did anyone say anything to us, or did we get an apology from the management. We were not the only customers affected. When the food arrived, it was hot, but it was obvious that it had only just been prepared. It was as if we had been forgotten. Given it was Mother's Day, it was hardly the kind of service for a family meal we would have expected. Surely, if you know that you have busy dates like that, as well as Christmas, Easter, etc., you should plan accordingly. At least if someone had said something, let customers know there is a delay, or limited staff resources, people would understand, even if they were not happy about it. The only saving grace was the lady who did help us was called Sabeen (I think her staff number is 5767). She was brilliant. She chased up the order, was helpful, professional and polite. Sabeen was the only member of staff who made any effort to find a resolution for us. The lack of ownership of the whole situation from the leadership of the outlet, and complete mismanagement of the process has let your establishment down, and places the reputation of the business on the line. Needless to say, we would not recommend Brewer's Fayre to anybody, nor will we visit again.

Went here today for breakfast for the first time . We was so disappointed all the food was cold and under cooked ? The hash browns should be crispy but they where soggy also the black pudding soggy and fell apart while trying to pick them up to put on my plate like the hash browns did ? The sausages I never got any as they looked like near raw to me ? I do visit other places when I want all you can eat Breakfasts like the one in WGC Beefeater which is ok but the best so far has to be Tobey inn in Stevenage but not the one in Borehamwood ? I did worry why not so many people was not in when I arrived ? I should have just walked out at that point and go to the one in WGC or Tobey in Stevenage

The service was poor. Took an age to get our order taken. Then when the food came it was cold and extremely underwhelming. Sent back and could tell it had just been heated up not re cooked. Just felt an atmosphere in there was unwelcoming. Sorry to say that some of the staff have been there so long they look incredibly unhappy and it passes off to the customers. Shame. Used to be such a lovely place to go.

Sanitizer placed all over pub.Ordered drinks and food off the New Menu.I had a vegetarian Sloppy Joe, Hubby and daughter had a Double Stack burger and my son had a kids meal..which all food is home made as burgers were all chunky and juicy and not those round things you get from A supermarket.

Welcomed by Haley, lovely smile and she makes you feel welcome.We have returned after not visiting the Airfield for a while. This is one of our locals and its nice to support it.There has been a change of staff and Management and things are now running better.The pub itself if huge and could easily have a children's play area at the back of the pub..which would encourage familys as well as Family's who stay in the hotel next door.The pub is tidy and clean..but a lick of paint would be good.Bring back the theam nights eg Monday is curry night..Tue..Italian..and so on..also include a drink...that way people would come and enjoy time in the pub.We ordered food and was impressed with portion size.I had a Vegan burger and it was juicy with salsa sauce.Well Worth a visit and I would recommend.

Went online at 11.53am to book a table for 11 people for this evening. Got email confirmation of booking however on arrival at restaurant was told they had no booking for us. We were asked I we'd booked online to which we replied 'Yes' and were told 'the system doesn't work anyway!!'. We were asked to take a seat at the bar (which there where none) whilst they prepared a table. After 25 minutes one of our party enquired about the table and were asked if we'd now like to go to it now (it had been prepared, but nobody had bothered to tell us). The staff didn't seem particularly bothered about having us there, so we left and went elsewhere.

We had the bad luck of staying at the Premier Inn next door and had booked breakfast for the 2 days. The first day, we got there, waited to be seated, were shown a few tables said we can sit there. Sat at a table around the corner, and had a rude manager sitting in a closed-off room, having a conference call on speaker. It was loud and irritating and unprofessional first thing in the morning. you don't expect to be annoyed by staff. they had a decent selection of cereals, some fruit - Bananas and apples, some juices, and there was white and brown toast bread, some type of bagel, and some mini pain au chocolat and mini plain croissants. I had a bowl of cereal and a couple of plain croissants (they were fresh and very tasty), good job I got them when I did, as there were none left after I took the 2. The full English was good albeit a bit overcooked (almost burnt).

First visit since we moved to Hatfield and don’t think we’ll come again unless it’s just to have a drink. Food was horrendous. I had roast chicken which tasted like it come out of a bag and soggy. And underneath found dirty oven scrapings that say who knows when that oven had been last cleaned. Burger also tasted grim. Awful food and poor quality. Weatherspoon is 10 times better and that’s saying something. It’s a shame cause it has potential for a nice family restaurant...

No one came back so once again we had to flag someone down. 40 minutes after arriving we received our starter which by the way was 1 dish between 2 of us, not sure what took so long. 1hour and 15minutesafter arriving we received our mains.

My husband and I ordered combo meals of chicken and ribs. Waited a long time for meals to be served, both started eating, thought chicken seemed cold and upon touching it we found the chicken had been served to us still partially frozen! Called waitress who agreed chicken was still icy and partially frozen and took the 2 chicken pieces from our plates to return them to kitchen. Said would do us new chicken. Returned and said no point cooking more chicken as we would have eaten rest of meal by time they were ready. Waitress said manager told her to say we would not be charged for meal ..... I should think not! Manager never even came to speak to us. Complained to guest relations who were equally unhelpful and very uncaring. They assured me all food hygiene standards are complied with and food cooked at correct temperature yet offered no explanation as to why we were served chicken that was still frozen. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

The very worst experience ever in a restaurant for my wife and I. When we entered, we were kindly invited to sit any where in the restaurant and choosing a table for two in a side room, we found ourselves close to a large table of men, who were loud and we found it uncomfortable. We asked if it would be OK to sit in the main area and this we did. I felt uncomfortable seeing the waiter leave us and go into the side room and deal with other people then walk behind the bar. I was wondering if our meal order had been properly dealt with. Close on one hour passed and we asked a young female waitress how long our meal would be. We were told that JUST after we had placed our order, the kitchen announced a 30 minute delay but our meal would be with us between five and eight minutes. Fifteen minutes later, no meal. We repeated to the young lady what she had told us and she just walked off to the kitchen. Shortly after, the manageress came to our table asking us what we had said to her staff? We explained what had happened and were told the waitress was in the kitchen crying her eyes out. The manageress was supporting her staff first and did not in any way contain the sound of her voice, just letting everyone around our table hear what was going on. I felt this was very unprofessional and my wife and I were very embarrassed. Nothing could be done, there were no apologies given to us, so well after an hour, we left the restaurant, with the meal having just that minute been delivered to the table. It totally ruined the night for us. It was late and we found it difficult being in a strange area to find another place to dine.

I asked if they could cook it a little more which the waitress said was Ok and took it away. It again came back and I tried to eat it but was still quite rare. I did not really eat it as I was put off by this time when we asked for the bill they asked if all was ok and I explained about the steak and it must of gone completely over the girls head as there was no apology anything.

We stayed in a nearby hotel that was awful (not the Premier Inn) and they didn’t do breakfast. We stumbled upon the Airfield by accident with 3 minutes to go before breakfast stopped being served and we expected that we would probably be turned away. The wonderful manager and staff accommodated our party of 5, even though it must have been a large inconvenience to them. They were friendly and attentive and we couldn’t have been happier. Lesson learned, next time just stay in the Premier Inn. We will definitely return here again!

Decided that we deserved a special breakfast, and the airfield was the obvious choice.

As a family we decided to take advantage of the offer (£8.95 for two mains) and visited on Friday at 5:15. as it was early evening the place was slowly getting filled. We were warmly received and shown to our tables. Its family friendly and lots of seating areas. We had Sweet Potato Lasagne, Mushroom & Cheese burger, Sausage Egg & Chips, Smothered chicken & chips. The drinks came promptly, the food arrived on time, pleasing to the eye, good portions, scrumptious and beautifully presented. Having enjoyed the meal, we couldn't resist but give in to the sweet temptations and had Chocolate Brownie & Belgian Waffles. We left the place satisfied and pleased. Highly recommend the place and will definitely visit again.

The Bonus Club is great especially when a free bottle of wine comes round or the free meal on your birthday. The food is pretty good for the very reasonable prices especially the daytime value meals at £8.95 for two mains! The staff are always very pleasant which makes for a decent experience.

We went for Friday lunch and really enjoyed our meal. Good quality traditional English food at very reasonable prices. I had the Giant Atlantic Haddock with chips and mushy peas and it was excellent. Hot and tasty.

Whilst staying at the next-door Premier Inn we had dinner twice & breakfast once. Each time the staff were exceptionally friendly & helpful, especially Kathryn, Peter & Leah. On Friday evening the restaurant was busy but only 2 waiting staff on duty, others having gone off sick. In spite of this they kept smiling & served us promptly. On Saturday evening I mentioned to Leah that my salmon was overcooked - she was very apologetic & offered me a free drink to make up for it. This was brought by Kathryn who was equally apologetic. We enjoyed all our meals there & being served by the staff who seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs.

Order was taken fairly quickly and then waited 25 minutes for food ,ultimate burger was fine,partners sausage and eggs where fine,however chips/fries where very poor as they were like cheap oven fries you would buy from a supermarket also not very hot.

A little worried by the fact that this was a chain restaurant but all ended well. The roast is actually quite nice with Beef, Turkey or Gammon being carved. Not quite sure what the difference between a normal and large portion of meat was but the veg and potatoes are plentiful and pretty tasty. Best of all is the price, more than reasonable. Would recommend, should you find yourself stuck in Hatfield on a Sunday (god forbid).

Parking is easy and free on a weekend. I was surprised when the waitress didn't write down our order, but wow, everything arrived quickly and was well presented. Staff were pleasant and engaging. Certainly eat here again. Floor was a little dirty around our area though.

The customer service from the bar staff was really good during this visit as during my first order one of the managers charged me full price for a meal that should’ve have been discounted at that time of day but when I ask about it one memeber if bar staff (Rebecca Sumner) was very happy to help and very friendly.

Thought we would give it a try as we had received money off vouchers. So had the rest off Hatfield. Food was second rate, the so called carvery had flies buzzing around it. I really did feel sorry for the poor girl, who was obviously quite new to the job. She tried so hard to please everyone, but she had absolutely no back up. If Brewers fare are going to do a mail shot they really should be prepared. I think it could have been ok if there had been more staff available,

Popped in on a Sunday to the Airfield to grab some food. Went for a carvery and upgraded to have more meat, was very worth it. Staff were extremely welcoming upon my arrival and the food was amazing! Great selection of veg and meat was extremely tender. Great quality of food for a great price. Definitely will be returning and recommending to family and friends

Went to the airfield for a family dinner and service and food was appoling. My brothers steak was off and tasted foul. Will never go back, this was my second time there. Last time I waited over 1 hour to be served my main meal and left. Went back to give it a second chance- my advice STAY CLEAR of here

It is what you would expect from a brewers Fayre, the staff were brilliant, the service good and courteous, the food is as you would expect from BF, it was well cooked and prepared, and served with efficiency. Nothing was to much trouble, and the staff happy to engage with their customers.

We have visited a few times now, mainly for breakfast and the occasional evening meals, mostly for breakfasts with friends and family. You can choose exactly what you want for your cooked breakfast from a quite extensive list. Its no issue having for example more of mushrooms instead of eggs or if you want have fried, scrambled and poached eggs, or all three. The breakfasts are cooked freshly from your order, and it comes nicely presented, cooked well, and hot. I don’t like fatty bacon and it was not a problem to request lean bacon, or none which I asked for. Also if you are vegetarian there is a choice, and I believe there is vegetarian sausages as well, but can’t confirm that. While you wait for your cooked breakfast you can help yourself to the normal cereals, a selection of fruit & yogurts, toast, crumpets, and croissants. The best bit is the coffee, its Costa Coffee, and you can have free top ups, The only limit is breakfasts finish at around 11:30, but staff warn you so can get any coffee or extras to nibbles while you chat etc. Staff make no move to chase you out so you can enjoy your breakfast in leisure. Recommend, a big yes.

My wife had a very nice Quiche, and we have had reasonable good food there before, but my tandoori mixed grill was burnt lack - like the leftovers at a barbecue. I was hungry enough to dig out what could be salvaged, and told the waitress clearing up that it was pretty pathetic to send stuff like that out to customers. She suggests getting the manager, but he never appeared till we were getting ready to leave - then he ignored us and proceeded to sweep food from the adjacent table around my feet and spray cleaner everywhere - I left the last of my beer - very disappointing.

Booked a table in advance for eight for a birthday meal. There was no waiter/waitress service for our table. So we went up to order after each person. The meals did not come out at the same time. We had to wait for two meals whilst our other party ate. Then when we ordered our puddings the table did not get cleared away. One pudding we had to again wait after we chased it up. We spoke to the duty manager and never got a response not even an apology. I am a regular visited of this place and have had no problems with this place.

There were 9 adults and 2 children and the service was terrible we waited nearly an hour for our food, that was very slow being brought out, it was cold which was probably because the plates were cold and it took so long to get to the table. As a group of family we will never be visiting again. The staff were not very friendly all quiet rude.

Booked a Christmas meal and was allowed to sample a few options from their dedicated non gluten menu, which has lots of choice. I was disappointed with the Christmas meal, I should have stuck with a normal menu. No pigs in blanket, no stuffing something else was missing too and the gravy was non existent. I look at my colleagues plate to my left and she had everything so although they catered for me, they short changed me with half a meal for the same price. If the chef isn’t capable, all items can be easily source and available in the supermarket, it’s really not as hard as made out to be it’s actually lazy and dishonest. Prawn was bland but the orange sorbet was lovely.

Me and my partner had a fantastic experience for the first time coming to this pub. The staff were really friendly and really helpful. One particular barmaid let us try a little bit of one of the beers based on what we ordered as she thought we would like it, which was very kind And she also managed to find us a set of darts to play with which we did after we eaten our food the food service was incredible too. The food was delicious and fast to arrive and we would definitely come here again. It was a fantastic experience.
