The Brean Down Inn in Sedgemoor

I love r this pub. The most dog friendly pub I know. Great beers and really tasty food. Friendly staff and good service. Can get busy bank hols and weekends during peak season. Flamethrower pizza for me! Delicious

Visited on a nice sunny bank holiday. Good beer but a limited lager selection. Overall a nice dog friendly concrete pub!

Looked a lovely little pub fro. The outside and obviously very popular. Quite a few people sat outside, quieter inside. Ordered food and drinks, as it got busier and after 45 minutes we asked how long it would be to be told that it would be the next order to come out. When the food did arrive we could see straight away that the Beef Rogan Josh looked a bit dry, however it was also luke warm. We told a member of staff would then told a member of the bar staff, who then took it to the kitchen. When the meal came back (same meal) it was hot but even more dried up than before. The member of staff who had taken it to the kitchen came to clear the table and we told her it wasn't good just to have sorry I will tell the chef but the kitchen has been really busy. According to the kitchen opening times it opens at 5pm, we placed our order around 5.25pm.....

We planned on eating but just had a drink as it was awful... uncleared tables, dirty floor one entrance blocked by rubbish plus dated decor made it very unwelcoming. Basic menu. Left asap.

Although having a caravan at brean not been able to get here much ,thought we would try our “ local” for dinner .from friendly attentive staff to a lovely 10 oz gammon with all the trimmings each ,perfectly cooked and presented ,games for kids and dogs welcomed plus very reasonably priced .well worth a visit

Been here on many occasions. Great for the dogs. But recently decided to have something to eat . We decided on just chips for 2 of us. The wife went and ordered them . She came back and said I hope there nice and come in large bowls because its just cost over £6 . There was hardly anyone there but took 30 minutes to arrive. 2 SMALL BOWLS OF CHIPS. Should take 15 minutes at most from frozen. When they did oh dear a small bowl of frozen style chips from a supermarket. That's the first time and the last we'll eat there mainly cost speed size of portions and snail service .

Dog friendly. Helpful and friendly staff and excellent tasting quality food at reasonable prices. Would highly recommend.

Tried the Beef Rogan Josh for a change as food is usual ok but this meal was awful. Curry sauce looked more like gravy and the taste was very spicy hot without tasting of curry. The beef was apparently pulled beef rather than chunks of beef but the taste and texture was not good. To me it tasted more like fish than beef and the texture was strange. Wouldn't have it again. Cost me a fair amount of money and spoiled meal. Staff where informed.

No food left first weekend of the season open. Cobwebs everywhere. Place looked like it needs a good scrub and a lick of paint. And plants instead of weeds in the planters outside. Up your game Brean down

Great dog friendly pub with plenty of parking available, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and excellent presentation as well as the reasonable prices especially for the lunch menu! The manager and staff are very friendly making a great atmosphere to spend time in

Not happy. Ordered the hotdog and it came with English mustard on rather than burger mustard which was not stated on the menu, was unable to eat so ended up paying 10 pound for about 11 chips.

Stayed at the caravan park next door and visited on a Saturday for the football. Sat in the conservatory with our dog. Great staff and a good selection of drinks. We didn’t have food but it looked good. Would go back and try food if we come down to Brean again.

Lovely pub serving nice food at reasonable prices with a good menu and a large selection of drinks. Friendly staff and dog friendly.

Holidaying on Warren Farm, have visited the last few days as hubby love the Stan cider. 1 toilet still out of action from last year. Rest of the toilets are disgusting sadly which is the only thing that lets the place down. Lovely food and fantastic staff. Reasonable prices for food and especially drink. Just wish they would sort the loos out. Been tonight and a holiday maker asked for a mop and bucket to clean them sadly before she would use them.

We are a Family of 7, staying in brean on holiday, we all had Fantastic food, a wonderful service, and lovely polite staff, amazing value for the money, we were all very full, look forward to returning next year.

We where staying at Warren farm for the weekend and thought let's try this place and I'm glad we did. I had lasagna on the first night and I enjoyed it that much I had it again the following day. Definitely good value for money the portions where huge. My partner had the sfc wrap which I will have next time

Lovely food and cheaper than most places. Plenty of room and dog friendly, doggie water bowls everywhere. Look forward to going back.

We've had a couple of meals here, each time the food was excellent; short wait times, hot and delicious. The staff are friendly and eager to please. It has the feel of a village pub, while having a large enclosed area so there is plenty of room if needed.

We went in the brean down inn really welcoming great food and dogs are mote than welcome, there is a covered area if it rains , but also it is a big area and we were not bothered by smokers

Lovely food and drink, reasonably priced so dog friendly with places indoors and outdoors for them to sit. We had the mix platter and it was not greasy and was very tasty.

Visited the venue as dog friendly. Nice selection of drinks Very tasty food, very varied menu. Great outdoor seated area, very weatherproofed.

Just had a fantastic meal at the brean down inn, I had homemade lasagne and hubby had the homemade FISH pie, it was gorgeous and really really homemade, good sized portion and fresh, not a microwave in sight . If you like fresh and not mass produced go to the brean down inn.

We visited 3 times while we were on Holiday last week. The pizza Tuesday was a massive hit with all the pizza's made fresh to order that we came back on our last evening for more. We will be back to visit :)

went her ea couple of times during our stay and got converted to a cider drinker lovely place to stop for a while and have a drink dog friendly 2

Been using this lovely pub for a few months now always a great atmosphere with a mixture of holidaymakers, locals & well behaved dogs. Wide choice of meals available and like the drinks really good value For the sports fans there are a number of televisions throughout to watch featured matches BUT for the non sports followers the TV commentary does not dominate the atmosphere. One of the nicer pubs in the area & one yo bud it when on holiday in the area.

Very friendly staff and manager, excellent food, really dog friendly good selection of drinks there must be about 8 different ciders to choose from

The staff are very friendly and its dog friendly inside & outside… Sadly the decor is very dated not very inviting, could do with a total refurbishment… seating basic & uncomfortable, sadly I was not tempted to eat there… However seems that a lot of...

We went here a couple of times during our recent three days in Brean. It was lovely sat outside, enjoying some nice food (great pizza!) and all of the staff were really friendly, and also really nice to Frank our border terrier! Really don't understand...

Crap read the menu first when ordering look for the spelling mistake when ordering looks like Carved Ham Egg and chips it really states Calved Egg and chips which is not carved a really rip off we will never go down again.

Called in for lunch with the family and our dog after a windy walk on the beach. Its a big sprawling pub but the decoration is looking a bit tired and past its best but all the staff were friendly. Prices were a little high...

Brean Down Inn not worth it, 1 hour wait for £11 burger not worth half that. I visited with my wife and grandson, if I hadn’t paid I’d have left. Don’t get sucked in.

Stopped here a few times after a walk along the beach. Nice friendly pub and dog friendly too, allowed inside also. Had a few snacks and drinks outside. Always somewhere to sit. Was well worth the walk and is at the quieter end of Brean...

Just back from a long weekend in Brean and wanted to mention this pub in particular. Lovely friendly staff and welcoming locals. Good pub grub, we went back for more pizza as it was so good. And our dogs were made very welcome which is...

Went to this pub with my family, the menu is okay if you like burgers or pizza very long wait in a cold conservatory and when the meal came we were one meal missing the owners son was very rude and unhelpful with the situation....

I can’t believe the reviews I’ve read about the Brean Down I’ve been coming here for about 10years and have always found the staff to be very cheerful, helpful and polite. The menu like everyone’s has been reduced due to covid but the meals are...

The staff here are great and like to have a laugh with you but the food isn't that good unless you like pizzas or wraps and burgers as this is whats on the menu they do have a very small selection of about 3 otherdishes

Great selection of ciders , great staff , and quality food , best pizza on the strip and really good quality burgers , always make us feel welcome including our dogs , try it in or out of season you wont be disappointed 🏖

We walked in here after seeing good reviews and all I can say is I have no idea why. It looks like a pub , and then you walk in to the conservatory well I think that’s what it is meant to be. It was...

Tables dirty, rude staff watered down coke, dog water they put out is filthy I wouldn't let a fish swim in it.. the only good thing about this place is that outdoor area is covered.. Just really don't bother.. Absolutely awful

We had just arrived in Brean earlier and didn't have anything booked for dinner so we drove along the main road and found this pub at one end of the strip. Being about 7pm I expected it to be busier than it was. There is...

The food is fine and so is the service we, went for lunch after the drive down. Considering, we still have restrictions the staff did a good job, and are very frendly, It can’t be easy running around in a face mask.

What a lovely, clean pub with a great outside seating area and a beautiful conservatory area. It was my first time in Brean and this by far was the best place to go for food and drinks. Food was delicious. Staff were excellent, friendly, attentive. Highly recommend this place. Loved it

Really rude person serving, in the end we walked out! I would have thought after 2 lockdowns they would have been grateful for 6 people wanting food!

We visited here to watch the wales game as a group of 5, service was pretty quick on the drinks just had to put your hand up and they were straight over. The inside of the pub is still currently closed, but they had the conservatory open along with outside. We sat in the conservatory which was a little warm on the day but still fine as the men wanted to watch the football.We did order some cheesy chips which were long but finished, we asked a lady to take the empty away to which we were told that wasn't her job - not sure who's job it is?!?! It was eventually taken away by a young guy but a little odd.

Disappointingly I am writing this review after our visit their 2 hours ago . We in the past have had no issues with our food or drink and have always sung its praises to family and friends and was always the place we would take our grandkids too when they were with us . My partner ordered sausage egg chips and beans at a cost of £8.95 , when it arrived the portion sizes were that of a child’s portion , a table spoon of beans , 2 sausages 1 egg and a handful of chips , our 5 year old grand son would have loved it. The plate was small and their was plenty of space left but portion size did not justify the price and was not a meal you would serve to an adult . What he had was tasty and he said as much to the girl who collected our plates but said he felt like he was being fed as a child not a grown man . She said she would tell the manager but that was as far as it got , no one came out to see US , not even the owner . In the meantime we were subject to the rude Newly appointed young manager who came out and shouted across the conservatory area where we were sitting to a table of regulars of 4 people who had 2 dogs one of which was a 4 month older black Labrador puppy who had emptied the water bowl and was playing with it . This manager shouted for them to control their puppy and for it to stop playing with the water bowl, he then went back inside to the bar and within a couple of minutes stormed back out to them to tell them to keep their dog on a lead ! The puppy was only saying hello to us and no one else , and was not causing any issues . Appreciate that said puppy could have wondered to another table where folk or other dogs may not have been appreciative of his friendly nature, however there was no need for this newly appointed manager to have shouted across the room to them , his manners left a lot to be desired . The conservatory room at this pub as a lovely sign above the door that states about “ man is trained for the convenience of the dog” and basically about the pub being Dog friendly! Anyhow that family with their 2 dogs who said they have been going their for 5 years left like us , where we both ended up at another venue down the road to finish off our evening. We shall not return to Brean Down which is sad

I have eaten here for past few years and been happy with meals, but today I was very disappointed because I ordered sausage egg beans and chips and was very disappointed as it was a like a having a child meal. I spoke to the waitress and complained and said please let the manager know but nobody came out. I went had a child's meal at another venue and the portion was the same size for half the price that they were charging. While we we're there we called a friendly puppy dog over to us for s stroke but the the new appointed manager marched out and shouted across the room to get dog on a lead. Nobody had complained. The new bar manager is very rude. Been coming for years but because of this managers attitude I will not be returning again.

We went for an afternoon drink on a hot day. We sat on a table outside but was constantly ignored by the waitress. I asked a man if we could order drinks only to be told he only served food. I then asked another waitress who told me she didn’t serve our side of the seating area but would get our waitress to come and take our order. ( this didn’t happen!) After waiting a bit longer I asked another waitress who said she only collected empty glasses , Eventually after 30 minutes a waitress came to our side of the pub. I asked her if we could order drinks? She shouted at me to wait my turn and she would work her way down the tables to us, even though the other tables had already got drinks. I said we have already been waiting 30minutes to which she replied ‘ how would you like to work in this hot weather if you want to be served quicker go to the Beachcomber!’ Which we did and had a lovely welcoming experience plus a drink. We wouldn’t go back to that pub if you paid us,

the service is good with amount staff they have abd there pretty friendly .serve as fast as they can

I’d booked a table for a birthday meal here however when we arrived we were informed that 3 of the key things were off the menu as they’d been so busy (even though it didn’t seem that busy but I suppose could have been earlier in the day (a Tuesday?!) No steaks, pie or lasagne. The menu isn’t extensive and this left our party of 6 with limited choice. This wasn’t what I wanted for my birthday meal so we decided to go and take a risk on finding something else which luckily we did!

I have been going to brean for 30 years. The brean down inn has been a staple in my bank holiday diet for decades. I am beyond disappointed, to the extent where I felt it necessary to leave a review. Staff were not only terribly slow, with no sense of urgency, but down right rude. There was no order to any of the tabling, some customers were being served drinks and then food and then another round of drinks before some tables were even able to submit a drinks order. Family’s with very young children left without water or any offers of sustenance. The split between the table sections meant that one side was fully served, which had the hardest working & most polite man in bean who was clearly grafting his a** off in comparison to a side which was dying of a drought. It got so bad, I felt like going to grab an apron myself and offering my service for free. Honestly, sort it out, I went for a weekend away and left with a broken heart! Still waiting for my pint....

Appalling customer service over this bank holiday weekend. Only minimal staff cover causing customers to wait up to an hour just to take drink order. Asked at the bar when we would get served and was told you have to wait. People inside we’re getting served before anyone outside. E used to like this pub over the years but will not be returning like many others have said this weekend

We popped into the Brean Down Inn to have a drink as we were down for a week. The pub is very basic and run down. Hand sanitiser by the door but sad to see that the tables were not wiped down after customers left and another customer arrived. The member of staff was handling cash and then pouring drinks without cleaning his hands. Toilets closed and only the disabled toilet for use by all customers and it was filthy. Wouldn't return even for a drink!

We rang up first to make sure they were open and took dogs. We were told they shut at 3. We replied with no problem see you in a moment. We then walked the 15 minutes with 2 puppies so we could eat only to get there and it was locked up at 2. Walked round the back to find someone to be told we were quiet so locked up even though we told them we were on our way down. Pubs are complaining that they need trade and then pull stunts like this. Don’t waste your time offering them trade. We walked 2 minutes up the road and found The Beachcomber. They were very professional and helped us out. Don’t waste your time with this place go straight to the beachcomber. The food was great and the staff were professional.

Whilst on holiday in the area we went for lunch at this pub. Barman was wearing a very loose none too clean Aston Villa face mask and when I queried leaving my phone number for track and trace he sent me back out to use QR code by the door. My phone does not have this facility and there was no other option to leave details. This was the only venue during our weeks stay in Burnham/Brean with such a poor Covid policy and with visitors travelling from all over the UK to Somerset was not what we expected.

Went by there for a meal (5 plus a baby in buggy). We waited for a table which had 5 seats around it to be cleaned, to have the 5th seat removed after it was cleaned. We asked if we could have the seat back, and the staff member said nothing and pointed to a blackboard that stated only 4 at a table. Fair enough, but behind him there was 5 on a table with a table full of drinks on it (big spenders). Didn’t see that rule being enforced on that table. We left and went elsewhere.

We visited here with the children, a couple of friends and there dog. The pub is quite basic and is mainly outdoors with the opportunity to sit in a canteen type area. The tables seemed clean and lots of staff were wondering around taking the empties.The food was basic pub grub, well priced and tasty. All meals were basket type meals - we had loaded fries which tasted amazing and the kids had chicken nuggets and chips which were really tasted. They also had treats on the bar for the dog, so he was happy to !

Try Stans cider off the Thatchers T Bar Thank me later !!! Cloudy orange cider with a punch 😎😂 Serve food Usual lagers Loads benches outside Dogs welcome Beach across the road Access from warren farm through sunnyside

When visiting this pub we discovered they didn’t serve food till 5.30pm so we had a drink and went away again. When returned ordered food it was over an hour before food arrived. The food was nice but wouldn’t eat there again as food took far to long. Would go back for a drink though. Also the food wasn’t on the government’s special offer so was quite expensive. Dog friendly pub which was good for us.

Stoped for lunch as we visited last year and the food was so good They had a limited menu on which I guess is because of COVID The pub was set out in a one way system which was good to see The food was great agin we had a pizza and loaded chips and the bdi mix platterThe place was very busy with loads of outside seating If you are in the area definitely worth a visit

We went to the beach and decided to stop here for lunch, the food was lovely and staff were really friendly. A lovely spot for lunch with the dogs after a long walk on the beach.. highly recommended

We passed by and tried the door, but no one was around. It was closed on Wed lunchtime, but might be open in the evenings

Me and the other half called in here last nightWe had the half roast chicken and the lasagne Both freshly cooked, not nuked in a microwave like a couple of Breans larger popular entertainment centres.Drinks at a good priceFriendly and very welcoming staff.Also DOG FRIENDLY TOOWell done to you.We’ll back very soon

Went for sunday lunch with my husband nice friendly place dog friendly aswell we chose lamb shanks with roast potatoes and vegetables it was delicous would recommend if in area

A++ everything excellent fish and chips and cooked breakfast the chicken was a little dry like it was over cooked in the oven but rest of food was goo the cold saw was great

My family and I had a great night on Friday evening the barman was particularly friendly and we had a great meal and all was very good value. We certainly recommend for families just wish we’d known we could’ve brought the dog!

Not the best you've ever had, but the pub is cool, beer served alright and the pie is good ... will go back when we travel in the region again

nice pub, good food, bit pricey but it is a holiday resort! TOO many dogs. woof woof , bark bark, yap yap ANNOYING!

We came into this busy pub. They have a good menu and a wide range of dishes. I went to the bar to order food and drinks. Served promptly. I had a lovely cider. Seemed to be lacking in real ale. My meal of lamb chops which I got 3 of, mashed potatoes, carrots, brocoli and gravy all filling tasty and delicious. My wife enjoyed her ham, egg and chips and my son loved his fish and chips. Good friendly service. A good place for people with dogs. A lovely place.

Family of 6 stopped for dinner, food was nice and fresh and filling. Everything was reasonably priced. Thanks very much.

Very welcoming and a good choice of beers and wines. Food also available but we did not try it. The staff we very happy and this made for a great evening and we were made to feel welcome.

Excellent food and friendly staff as always when we come to Brean. We ordered a pizza and a burger meal and it was so good. The meals are big and you struggle to eat it all as there's that much.

Staff are friendly enough, but the food was a little cheap and cheerful for us. Not sure we'd go back to eat here again. Fish and chips were extremely greasy and the barbeque chicken pizza had so much barbeque sauce on it was too sweet to be edible.

I went for sunday lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food tasted great and lots of it! I had the vegan pie with sunday lunch trimmings (the pie had vegetables in a tomato slightly spicy sauce) and was tasty. For just over £10 per roast it was good value. The staff were lovely and super welcoming!

Staying across the road we visit most nights but also for food there was 9 of us eating and the food came out fast and all together had asked for the beans in a pot for the children due to one being autistic and not like them touching they did this. Everything came out perfect and as ordered. The staff have been nothing but friendly everytime we have been across cant complain about anything.

Good food for a good price. Take your dog inside with you while you eat. Good beer . Very fast service.

My friend and I brought our children (6 in the party) after a day in Brean.

We arrived here on 20/07/19 and as always a great friendly atmosphere, bar staff always pleasant and service is always prompt. Ordered two curries, lasagne and burger all came at the same time and piping hot. After our food we went to the pool table room (our teenage boys insisted!!) had more drinks and really enjoyed ourselves, great night out!!!!!

Not a very good choice had mini cod and chips and two eggs chips and beans

Food was terrible. And I mean terrible. The 5onze steak was a joke. In general cheap frozen pub food over prized and no flavour.

Food was excellent standard, plentiful and not the usual microwave food many pubs serve up, dog friendly also and ran by a villa fan. What more can you ask for 😂

Lovely food ..staff very friendly and helpful.lovely clean restaurant/pub have used this restaurant a lot when we visit brean

Been going to the Brean Down in for over 14 yrs. the last couple of years it was a mess. Dirty, lazy staff. We went at tea time once and dinner plates still left dirty in outside area. This year WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT.

We initially went in for coffee with our jack Russell, she was greeted warmly and given loads of treats and really fussed over the coffee was good. We then went back after our walk for lunch both of us had fish and chips which was very good the batter was light and cooked very well. Chips were good too. Unfortunately our dog peed on the stone floor but we were told d not to worry and sure lots of others had done it and they came with bucket and mop and gave it a good clean up. The place is quite dated but clean and lots of seats indoors and out. We will be going againt

We called in here whilst on holiday when Aston Villa were playin in the playoff final. The managers are fVilla fans but had a laugh with us in Wolves shirts! It is dog and child friendly. We ate here twice and the service and food were excellent. I recommend it to anyone

Come here with my mum, dad, nan, wife and 4 year old.

We have been to Brean several times in resent years,each time we have had lovely meals in this dog friendly pub.

just had drinks here but the staff was very friendly helpfull and couldent do enough for you made you very welcome

If you want good food, good beer, good value, friendly staff friendly patrons and a very warm welcome for well behaved dogs, this is the place for you

this is a really good value for money place to sit and relax. the food is hearty and well prepared and the overall cleanliness is excellent. the staff are excellent and very friendly, service was quick and efficient.

We were at Brean sands for the day and went to this pub for a late lunch.

We stopped off in the pub on way home. Weather was gorgeous so we sat outside. Good selection of beers and ciders, and a friendly welcome from the bar lady. Place was very clean and dog friendly

One of the best steak and ale pies I've had! The fish and chips were also excellent. Speedy, friendly service.

Good food reasonably priced And dog friendly We will definitely be back. Very close to the beach for after dinner walk with doggo

Excellent food and friendly staff Nice tasty menus and good beer Very close to brean down steps to walk off your calo6

Met up with family and chose this place because it was in a convenient location. We were so glad that we did. 2 meat eaters 1 vegetarian and 1 vegan. All really well catered for. Great food , good value and friendly helpful staff. Although it's dog friendly we were really pleased that there is a separate dining room which is dog free! I like dogs but not where I'm eating so such a good idea to have a dog free space for folk like me. Will definitely return if we are ever in the area again.What an amazing find!

Very friendly staff, dog friendly & really great food with excellent vegetarian as well as meat choices.

The menu is excellent with plenty to choose from for all the family with a specials board. The meal was served by pleasant staff. Plenty of space and dog friendly.

Fed up of our usual places for lunch so came here for the first time today. Was surprised how quiet it was, perhaps because the season is over? There is a large under cover seating area plus a large conservatory. We sat in the bar and ordered cheese bacon burger which came with chips and coleslaw. Did not have long to wait and it was very tasty. Only a few more people came in before we left which is a shame as the food is very good and the staff friendly.

Great pub friendly staff great outdoor area and large conservatory. And dogs allowed inside and dog biscuits on the bar.

This is the most dog friendly pub in Brean. They are allowed in the pub, conservatory, and the over head outdoor canopy. They even have dog treats on the bar.
