The Brewers Arms in Northumberland

Great friendly, clean, big pub. Decent prices. Only thing was that it was very quiet when I called in. Maybe it picked up later in the evening

Went in today for some lunch as I was in Berwick for a business meeting , ordered some drinks at the same time and had a lovely conversation with the ginger girl ( didn’t quite catch her name ) but she was more than happy to help and made me feel welcome and was very patient with me as I sometimes have difficulty deciding what I want,food was delicious and I will definitely be returning

Terrible... Popped in for spot of lunch with our one year old, customer service was bad from the start the barmaid appeared to have a bad attitude. After ordering a kids chicken nugget chips and beans and literally 5 min wait the chicken came out pink, the chips under cooked and covered in salt bear in mind was for a 18month year old toddler! I expressed my dissatisfaction and said I wanted a refund, however I left with my family without it as they could clearly do with all the money they can get to clèan the place up. Wouldn't give the food to my dog let alone my toddler! If you want a nice meal avoid this place at all costs!!!! As for the response from the owner I'm guessing you've seen the reviews in the past regarding the attitude of the large ginger girl, seems to me you need to retrain your staff in manners as she was the offender yet again! I've been raised to speak to people how they speak to you, so after the food came out raw which is not below standard its simply unacceptable especially off the children's menu! Of course i changed my attitude to match your staffs, which is why i left so fast as I didnt want to cause a scene as looked like the place was struggling enough..Seems to me you need a new cook and barmaid as both were terrible..and individual menus for the tables would be nice I've never had to walk up to the bar in any place to view the menu? I mean wow!!!! Perhaps it's the owner that's the problem? Bad management equals bad business!

Love the pub, staff great , beer great,

I wouldn't normally post a 'bad review' but we had terrible experience here, popped in for some lunch for our 18 month old only to be served undercooked chicken and raw chips which were covered in salt.(bare in mind this was ordered from a kids menu) this is a health hazard they shouldnt be allowed to serve food, really disappointing. The customer service matched the quality of food. Walked out without a refund as our little one was hungry.

Food looked delicious but they stop serving early which was disappointing .Loved the fact I could get 80 shilling so really suited me. Customers many locals,were really friendly. Loved our visit

Today we had Sunday lunch in the Brewers Arms. We waited quite a long time, not sure why. The food arrived looked very nice, but unfortunately it was cold. Wasn't given a chance to say anything due to staff clearly being under pressure . We really like this pub as its reasonably priced and dog friendly. A shame today was a disappointment 😞

23/03/24 One of the most miserable bar staff I've ever had the misfortune to ask for a couple of pints from. Large Ginger female in her 20's clearly dodged the customer service training. Greeted me with a small nod and some sort of gutteral sound. That was the entire comms from the lady. Berwick is on it's knees by the looks of it so I imagine if you're a small business owner you need every advantage you can get. If this is your bar you really want to grab this miserable mood hoover and drag her to the 'minimum standards for manners' classes before your business goes the same way as many others. A smile, some craic and some minor human decency isn't too much to ask is it?

The best pub grub I've had in years! Good beer too.

Nice and quiet when we were there.

Great food, atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Lively pub in the heart of Berwick town. Nice friendly staff. Would recommend a visit

Lovely pub, good food and wide range of drinks. Staff were friendly/helpful. A number of TVs for watching live sports. We had steak pie and scampi to eat. Both were delicious. Reasonably priced. Well located right in the middle of Berwick not far from the train station and main carpark park. Definitely recommended if visiting/living in the area.

Needed my ebike charged as I was on long trip. Lovely barmaid allowed me to get charge and also lt me bring bike in. Thanks for the hospitality:)

Surprisingly quiet on my visit. 2 handpumps, Taylor's Landlord fine. Golden Wonder crisps include the wonderous 'pickled onion' flavour, and the smallest pickled eggs I have come across. TV playing some football game, at low volume, thankfully.

We visited on 2nd Jan in the afternoon whilst visiting the area. 3 adults & 2 teens. Lovely friendly lady behind the bar when we arrived, talked to us about menu options. Ordered food and drinks - good value - 5 adult meals plus drinks was around £65. The food was fabulous. The steak pie portion was huge & the meat delicious! The teens had the smash burgers & said they were excellent. There’s a pool table (£1 for 2 games which is really well priced) which kept the teens happy whilst we chatted. Excellent find - would very happily eat there again if we visit in the future.

Visited christmas eve, very quiet. Lady serving was wearing her coat and much more intetested in using her mobile phone than serving customers! Sad!! I had one glass of wine, ok wine but served in a ver dirty glass. Smears and someone elses lip stick still on the glass. Clearly customers are not a priority neither is cleanliness of glasswear! Dont they know that is important?? Will not be back.

it was terrible what had to put up with,ill never set foot in that pub again, just full of basically youngsters that won't take no one else where! Seeing a guy getting kicked in the head when you're out for a quiet drink at 6pm and no staff doing anything apart from a girl sitting on the other side of the barno managment there as we were told they were away on holiday!! Only 1 lady there that took responsibility and she wasn't even managment,,

We arrived at 6pm on the 16th Dec, as soon as we walked in there was a group of young lads in drunk and swearing and it was disgusting, this would have never happened Margaret owned it! I was so so scared this shouldn’t have happened, totally fight and a guy getting kicked on the head!!! Absolutely disgusting, I will never bring my family back into this pub again!! It’s just full of hooligans, used to be a lovley place to go to but it’s a shambles now.. Alison bell

In for Christmas lunch what a disappointment not worth the money no atmosphere scream child all the way through the meal. Music blaring out of tv no Christmas Dec's. It's as if you don't want customers your board for advertising should be outside not hidden behind door. Won't be back.

Quaint pub and food was amazing.Defintely be back.

Stopped here for lunch on a wet cold day, very friendly and welcoming, dog friendly, and the food was excellent with large portions, good value, thanks

Local pub . Good prices .friendly staff

Came here for a late lunch while on a family break at Berwick. The food was absolutely amazing, staff were incredibly friendly and a good range of beers. The portions are enormous too! Couldn’t recommend it more.

Did not eat there was nice enough

Lovely Sunday dinner and staff really nice too.

A nice old pub cheap drinks pity they didn't sell smiles because one of the staff could do with buying one ☹️

Great pub for a drink. Very spacious. The few times we popped in we found the piped music was a bit on the loud side. Sitting by the entrance helped with this as there were no speakers there. It has an accessible entrance and toilet.

After giving this place 4 chances/visits to settle in and get established after reopening and being frequent customers under the fantastic previous manager Margaret today we thought let's give it another chance..... Well all I can say is it still needs a lot of work and some more staff to bring it up to anywhere near what it used to be. First of all have enough staff in on the bar to actually serve people with drink and food....it's fine having a separate till for food orders but not at the expense of people wanting a drink who are left standing wondering if they will ever get a pint.....it's a pub so not asking too much?? I never got a chance to review the staff but from looking at what was happening it looks like they were so under pressure from trying their best they didn't stand a chance and I felt sorry for them. Obviously everyone has a different experience and this can differ depending on the day of the week and time you are in but this was Sunday lunch time and it was unfair on the staff there to expect them to run a full pub. We won't be back.......

Good home made Sunday lunch will be back to try the week day menu

Fabulous Sunday lunch and great friendly service. Starters were also delicious. It really was the best roast dinner we’ve had in years. We arrived at 3.30pm and all the roast beef had gone so three of us had chicken and one had belly pork. I’d suggest getting there a bit earlier. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Old fashioned traditional pub, packed with old memorabilia, friendly staff, dog friendly too, great selection of real ales too .

Food and service were really good. Will definitely be back.

Popped in afterca short walk , let the dog in gave him water, the food was second to none .cask ale well kept , if I move back it will my local

Amazing service food absolutely 100% for kids reasonably priced great selection so many tourist attractions in Northumberland but a trip to the brewers Arms itself is worth a trip on its own

Lovely place and great staff. Really friendly atmosphere.

We recently decided to try this place again after Margaret left we've eaten there for years and had lovely food. We went for Sunday lunch,the plates were swimming in gravy,the beef was placed on top of the very lumpy mashed potato. We were brought a very small plate 3 different vegetables, if an infant was given the same amount he'd complain. A waste of £20 pounds, suffice it to say that we won't be back in the Brewers Arms.

Good sized pub serving food and having plenty of space for dogs to spread into. A couple of beers on tap (Old Speckled Hen and Timothy Taylor Landlord when we visited). We were in on a Sunday and they had some roast potato plates on the bar as bar snacks ... bonus.

Awesome.....nice pint nice staff

This pub not a patch on how it used to be Food, not near as good as it used to be with previous owner and half of main courses on menu just not available, this is not acceptable to the customers and limits your choice drastically. Quality and Service poor and not welcomed into establishment and had to go to bar to order drinks and food with no signs to tell you this. First time I have been in over a year and sadly cannot recommend this place now and will not return as there are a lot of better restaurants in Berwick with much better menus and better service.

A pub with excellent beers and the food isn't bad

Went here for evening meals and immediately made to feel welcome. Great selection of homemade foods and at very reasonable prices too. We will be returning here before the end of our holiday. Highly recommended

Good selection of beers. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was really good with big portions.

A little bit like a wetherspoon establishment offering good value for money meals and drinks.

Again the food was good however the pub has changed hands and the menu has changed The old.menu that I experienced last time I was at the brewers was so much better The pub has friendly staff and a friendly atmosphere just don't mess with what works

Only had a drink there but nice pub nice views toilets were spotless

the lady who served all 11 of us was a treasure she went out of her way to make it work xx

the lady who served us was excellent nothing any trouble

We came as a party of 10 and the lady who approached us was nothing short of fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble and she went out of her way to help us. We ordered chips and onion rings for the table - these were piping hot, proper chunky chips with real battered onion rings, very tasty. Prices were some of the best I've seen in a pub recently. A proper old style boozer with a decent welcome to boot. Would happily recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Had fried fish sandwiches and chicken sandwich and a portion of chips for lunch. They were big portions with lovely mixed salad and coleslaw. Had Old Speckled Hen on hand pump which was lovely. Lovely food and staff.

Have so far had the Steak pie & Chicken curry. Would highly recommend. Good prices and large portion sizes. You won't go home hungry. 10/10

Been in there a few years ago and it was great but COVID has changed this place so hopefully they can get it back to what it used to be like

Surprisingly large dog friendly pub. Nice decor, friendly and attentive staff. Average prices on drinks. Didn't eat but the tables around us seemed happy enough with their food

Lovely pub and atmosphere however the ginger girl behind the bar was terribly rude , I ordered some peanuts and she forgot them so I politely asked for them and she through them at me over the bar , terrible service should not be customer facing ! She has ruined our trip here !

Nice pub. It was a bank holiday on Saturday and not busy. Maybe we were to early i don’t know. We had two local beers. Tasted quite good. Low alcohol so that was ok.

I hate to do this . BUT this was the worst pub i have been in ever. we only popped in for drinks. notice on door to say no food served today. Door keep swinging and banging . bar staff bored not interested. no knowledge of what beers they sell. someone fix that door. Landlady sitting this side of the bar at the end. did not offer any help or advise to her staff to my question about beer. And can you believe we went back. Saturday night on our way back from eating out . the only place in town. which was quiet . again just wanted a quiet pint. we were the only people in the bar, different staff. same attitude did not want us there. wanted to close up early. had our drinks and left. very sorry to see a pub like this seem to be going down hill. sorry to have to write a review like this .

When theBrewers Arms reopened we had high expectations having been frequent visitors most weekends for Saturday lunch, our first attempt at trying out the new menu was met with disappointment as we were told they were not doing food to allow the kitchen to catch up, this was 1:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Undeterred we came back a few weeks later to have another go, the menu is ‘similar’ to the old brewers arms menu, so I had the curry and my partner had the cheese and onion panini. Back in the day you had the choice of rice or chips or half and half with the curries or chillis, not anymore, totally accept this so had the rice as it is the only option. When the food came out the panini could best be described as anaemic looking my partner had about two bites and gave up, the curry was more of a chicken in gravy offering rather than a curry sauce, the rice was a serving from a small upturned dish very nondescript. After we had eaten, or rather left the food the lady asked if everything had been ok, my partner said “not really “ , they just took away the plates and said “sorry “ Unless there are radical changes to the food offerings we will not return again, such a shame as this was probably the best pub food in Berwick upon Tweed.

Popped in for Sunday lunch as we were holidaying in the area. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We both had roast beef, which was delicious and exceptionally good value for money. Would recommend anyone in the area to give this lovely pub a try.

Outside of this place is of putting which is a shame as it is lovely inside , only had a drink

Called in and we both had the roast beef dinner, it was delicious. Plenty of roast beef and lean. Beautifully presented. Would definitely call in again

Excellent food ,excellent staff,excellent service, food is absolutely amazing 👏 just had Sunday lunch absolutely gorgeous, always eat here and food always excellent 😋...

Excellent food, excellent staff, excellent service, had Sunday lunch and was absolutely amazing 👏 food is always gorgeous as I eat here all the time ...

Wow had a fantastic Sunday lunch lunch here one of the best we have had very quick service and friendly staff will definitely return here for food through the week if it’s the same standard as the lovely Sunday lunch you get plenty of meat and the separate veg all in a lovely clean restaurant area

Brilliant place to eat if you're hungry, great food, well priced. Cheerful, friendly waitresses.

The girl with the red hair is very polite and is always smiling am not sure but am positive her name gaby brilliant food and great service I will be back 😀

Great grub at great prices. The food was tasty filling and extremely reasonably priced. The serving staff were friendly and the overall experience was great

I love the front windows. I just had to pop in and see them from the inside. ( And have a quick pint). But the windows are so unusual, I trust they stsy for many others to see, and have a drink

I absolutely love this place. I rave about it and visit it each time in berwick. Went on the Monday and the chef was sick? That's OK! Checked Facebook page on the Thursday, no mention of still being closed. Got there and closed again. Went back on Friday before we went home and it was open :-) So excited!! I could tell straight away it had changed owners. Small menu with half of it out of stock. Definitely not as good as it usef to be. Sorry Waitress was lovely though. .

I've been here many times. Great pub and atmosphere. Last Saturday in July is always a great occasion. The KOSB association pack the place out after their Minden Day parade.

Awful. Staff made us feel really unwelcome

popped in for a quick bite to eat with my wife and two sons , the bar staff are very friendly and welcoming the service was quick and everything is reasonably priced, the food was outstanding and they couldn’t do enough to ensure we enjoyed our visit even the chef himself came to make sure we were satisfied with the meal will definitely visit again and i highly recommend the lasagne and the gammon, the kids nuggets are the best we tasted too having stole one .

Fabulous battered haddock and thick cut chips food was piping hot fast efficient service nicely presented, l had pot of tea that was nice and hot too husband had lager drinks were at competitive prices £3.65 pint ..we were on holiday from Cambridgeshire and were very impressed with Berwick on Tweed

Sunday Lunch was superb, £15 for 3 courses, unbeatable value, and the food was excellent!

Popped in for lunch and I can certainly recommend it. The food was excellent and was served in an efficient manner by courteous staff.

This has been closed and had recently reopened , Started doing food we thought we would try it ,we all had Sunday lunch all 6 of us had beef but there is chicken and pork to pick from ,it was beautiful really very impressed, desserts...

Popped in for my tea on my way home from dropping passengers off at Edinburgh airport. Made to feel very welcome staff were friendly and pleasant. Food was excellent I had the scotch egg for starters & steak pie for mains both were delicious, portion sizes were good too. Sadly I couldn’t test out their selections of beers for obvious reasons. Will definitely be back as & when I’m passing.

We popped in for evening meal. They are newly trading after a period of being closed. Meals were typical pub grub. We had veggie curry and naan bread with some potato skins. All was pleasant apart from the naan bread which was very hard. Service...

Ordered lasagna for partner and vegetable curry for me. Waited an hour for it to arrive and was chicken curry with solid but bits of 'naan'. Just had to eat rice and sauce as no time to wait for replacement....

Avoid if you want a VAT receipt to claim back for work. I asked and was flatly refused one after I had paid. No apologies just a straight "NO"

Pleased to see back open again. Early days but hopefully things will continue and go from strength to strength.

Staff great and great selection of alcohol

Food not yet being served at review. Staff friendly, pub clean, short of space around pool table.

Friendly staff but there was no Tennants lager on, but a nice pub anyway

Great wee pub lovely features and friendly staff. Prices were excellent service was great.

Spacious plenty varied seating great atmosphere and great beer.

Nice pup, very friendly, love the resident dog (I think)

Very good prices sounds like they have only taken this over the past couple of weeks woth a view of serving foods very soon... Football in the back ground nice little find

Large pub, pleasant staff, 3 real beers available but no food.

Absolute brilliant and friendly the bar Kirsty the bar manager, was very friendly and welcoming so was the barmaid Gabby, Absolutely great venue with an excellent ambience, also dog friendly and Simon Who is the most accommodate a man I’ve ever met .

Lovely local pub with decent food at a good price and friendly staff.

Loved this pub before it changed hands. Excited to see it was reopening on the 5th. We went on the 6th for lunch. Poor service, not one staff member knew what they were doing. Lack of communication from staff to customers. Not very busy while we were in there but still staff standing not being helpful. Not friendly. Food not the same as what it was before . This is understandable as new owners but won't be back as not as comforting or tasty as it used to be.such a shame

Great service. Decent priced beers and excellent value meals. Had a lovely chicken and Leak pie from the daily specials and it was very tasty. New Management but very attentive and welcoming.

Popped in a couple of times during our weekend away. Popular bar with good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Didn’t eat, but the food looked appetising. Definitely return.
