Highly recommend visiting for a memorable dining experience!

Lovely pub in a pretty village. Large garden with plenty of seating. And a great kids playground.

First time visiting the brewery tap. They were so accommodating and Ellie was fantastic at organising a table for 15 of us at short notice. She was a star. All the staff were lovely and the Sunday roast was one of the best we’ve had. We will definitely be returning.

Quick, friendly service. We had the pizza and garlic bread deal with some sides and was all very nice. Would recommend and visit again.

We usually love this amazing pub. It has a great outdoor area for the children, wonderful service and amazing food. Sadly, this Sunday the service was very slow and the food was pretty bad. Starters are normally fantastic and I’ve recommended this pub so so many people. This time, the prawns were flavourless, the calamari was so overcooked that the insides were crunchy and we had to wait a long time for the children’s starters. We had Sunday roasts as mains which were so cold that it was shocking that they could be served up like that. Even the insides of the roast potatoes were freezing. The poor waitresses seemed to be apologising to most tables about something so we didn’t want to add to their stress. We ate, paid and left but felt pretty flat. I hope they were just having an off day because like I said, it’s usually fantastic on so many levels.

A very homely and welcoming atmosphere with excellent food.

Always great food, good service, lovely atmosphere, great outdoor space, my go to when I’m in the area 👌🏻

Had a Sunday Lunch today with a family of sixteen. Lovely food and great service. The staff were very welcoming and they could not do enough for us. They gave us our own room upstairs, which was very personal. The staff were up and down the stairs all afternoon, making sure we had drinks and everything else we needed. I would thoroughly recommend The Brewery Tap for a meal, or even just a drink in one of their comfy armchairs in the downstairs area. Thanks to all the staff for a lovely afternoon and being so attentive.

It was just really lovely, food and service was great, The best crème brûlée I can remember, and apparently a new manager is leading the team. A really lovely evening looking forward to returning soon.

Great family Sunday lunch. Luis the GM really made a fuss of us, all the food came out as ordered and was absolutely delicious with very generous portions. I had the roast beef which was perfectly cooked. Kids and grown ups alike all demolished their meals which considering we were a group of 16 was quite the achievement! Look forward to returning soon. Top marks!

We went on Valentines night. Oscar & George looked after us above & beyond. The Oysters and Venison starters were amazing! We had the fillet of longhorn beef for mains…. Best steak we have had ever! We are proper foodies! The steak cut like butter & the flavour.. just wow! All that was needed that night was some more staff to help 2 incredible front of house superstars! You smashed it! Credit to you both.

We visited the pub for weekend lunch as a group of friends. The staff were friendly but thinly stretched at times when more diners and pub patrons arrived. The menu was varied and interesting and all the food was good, however it was top end prices for a country pub.

Seated upstairs and rather forgotten about for late 3pm Sunday lunch for 7 people. Good starters but then no cutlery replaced for main courses had to ask for some so we could eat our food and then it was slapped on the table by staff looking rather disgruntled. Ditto puddings asked again for spoons and after nothing we found some ourselves. Food good but would not rush back.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The menu was varied, and lots of choice. The food was very high quality, all three courses. Staff were extremely friendly.

We were a family of 6 adults and had Sunday lunch the roast dinner was superb, the setting warm and friendly the service excellent. We will return for sure. 👍❤️🤗🍾🥂

Great place to eat, child and Dog friendly. Would definitely recommend it

We went here a while back and had an amazing lamb shank for a Sunday roast. So we decided to go back, this time they were offering beef and pork belly. The beef was cooked medium which was great but was really chewy the sides were just grand as per the pork belly was on the dry side which I found odd as its very hard to ruin pork belly with the fat content involved and the crackling was chewy no crispy but I suppose it depends on how you like it. We had 2 starters which was whitebait and calamari, the whitebait was the best I have ever had I highly recommend it. The staff were great as per usual. It costs us £168 for 2 starters, 3 kids meals and 2 Sunday roast and 2 desserts, please try the sticky toffee pudding as it was lush, with 2 rounds of drinks only 1 was a beer the rest were soft drinks.

Brilliant food and ambience. Had a great time! Drinks are varied and real ale is on tap. Wine is predominantly french but we found non french wines. Again food was fantastic....the Bengali lamb chops were fabulous as were the king prawns.

Lovely hidden gem, I love going here. Friendly staff, nice environment, really nice garden with stuff for the kids to do.

WE had an excellent lunch however there was only one other couple in the restaurant so it lacked a little atmosphere. The service was very good nothing was too much trouble.

Family celebration for a significant birthday. And what a good choice! Nothing was other than excellent and even the weather complied. All service was friendly, thoughtful ,proactive and the food was out of this world. Even the grandchildren volunteered how tasty the food was. Pub grub never. Restaurant quality throughout. The setting also contributed with the play area thoroughly utilised by the grandchildren. See you in another decade and thank you.

Excellent food without question, although hit & miss service, which was a shame.

Our first visit celebrating a big birthday with 3 generations. Great food,staff could not do enough for us- children’s play ground visible from the garden tables. Toys available for children We will be back thank you

Fab meal everytime, delicious food, great, service and delightful garden. The Eton Mess I had last week was the best dessert I have ever had. Bliss.

Excellent Sunday roast. Food is clearly the focus.

We had a very nice meal outside in their cozy garden. Very friendly team

Delicious food, fab and friendly service, very well kept beer and a really lovely, relaxed atmosphere! We highly recommend this great country pub. We have been lucky enough to enjoy a range of occassions at The Brewery Tap, from long walks there with the dogs culminating in relaxed, yummy lunches at our fave table, to private dinners and lots in between-and it has always been consitently excellent.

Met family for a birthday celebration Ambience excellent Food delicious- good choice of quality food Staff/service outstanding- very friendly and helpful Will certainly visit again

A quintessentially English, Country pub. Easy on the eye, great food and strong range of beers, spirits and wines. Not to mention the brilliant kids playground and huge pub garden. The perfect pub for a cosy, fireside winters tipple or a cold pint in the summer sun!

Very good service in nice surroundings. Everybody in a party of 6 enjoyed their food, which was served promptly and efficiently.

Fantastic meal out with visiting family at this gastro pub. Varied menu, something for everyone. Some of the comments around the table "one of the best fish and chips I've ever had" "everything beautifully presented" "hot plates to keep food constant temperature throughout meal" Warm inviting atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Well done team. Would thoroughly recommend a visit. Beautiful garden and children's area for those warmer days.

This place came highly recommended to us but unfortunately we were left disappointed, extremely long wait for our table and then for the food, when it finally did come most of our party had to wait longer still for fresh cutlery. Food was nice but over done. Based on the recommendations from our friends I’d give this place a second chance especially as it’s so child friendly, I hope they were just having an off day.

Great roast dinners for all the family, nice waiting staff and we'll certainly be back. Only minor quibble is the duck meat in the croquettes is very fine and has no texture, so is a little strange. The rest was excellent

Wow ... when the place you want is full and the 'alternative' is the brewery tap! Warm, cosy, brilliant atmosphere. Lucy and her team made us feel like we were part of the village and local clients. Phoebe, our server, was truly **on it**. Her infectious energy and sharp sense of humour clearly make her an indispensable asset to the Pubs family. Food glorious food, simple, hearty, with that twist of gastro & if you like a large portion, there really is no scrimping here. Well prepared served hot and 'proper' tasty.

We had one of the best pub lunches I’ve had in a long time! Beautiful food and fantastic service. We can’t wait to return soon.

Really lovely, dog friendly, family orientated pub with lots of food options for dietary requirements. High chair, children's cup and cutlery. Full allergen list brought to us with menus and food was fantastic.

Great food and service. The new menu is fantastic overall and the beef bourguignon pie is truly wonderful. Top marks to the chef and team. Very highly recommended.

Great feel to a pub. Great food.Great service .Don't like the service change on the bill, would rather be given the option. Will go again. Bit hard to find.

Fantastic 3 course meal. The mackerel pate was a lovely starter . I then had the curried cod which was cooked to perfection and delicious. Cozy place with a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Look forward to visiting again

Very good food and proper village pub atmosphere. Note service charge is included so don’t need to add a tip.

Fantastic roast - best roast potatoes we've had in a pub/restaurant

Excellent food and wonderful pub

Roast was good. Nice outside space with play area for kids.

Been a couple of times,great service superb food👍

Enjoyed an amazing meal last night, the food and the service were superb! Thank you to the staff and the chef for making our evening so memerable

A fetching pub with a big garden and a few good casks. We enjoyed two delightful nibble plates with our drinks. We shall return, without the mutt, for a three courser. The young barman is a gent. Top notch!

Hadn't been here for ages. Only had a sandwich, but it was very good.

Excellent gastropub. It is always difficult to satisfy my wife who is variously vegetarian, vegan, and carbohydrate free (not always at the same time). This pub, which even had poke bowls, passes her tests, and mine. I had gambas and a steak. We paid £40 a head Inc drinks.

The worst meal I can remember having in my life. An absolute calamity from beginning to end, nobody at the bar to meet or seat us. Waited ages, eventually sat down. Got up to ask for menus, got up again 20 mins later to get our drinks from the bar. No water (despite water glasses on the table) Ordered a starter which didn’t come. Had the most absurd main course which was, literally, a single carrot on a sad bed of crunchy old couscous. A single carrot. Obviously had no water no dessert. I cannot express how poor it was. It was v quiet night with us and two other tables; so they certainly weren’t busy. What was most upsetting was we were really considerate of their feelings when feeding back and they still charged service charge!!! Unbelievable. Everyone has bad days but the right thing to do would have been to close for the night rather than steal our money.

Great food and friendly service.

Came here for a private event, can't comment on prices, but the staff, food and drink were all excellent ! Definitely looking to return at a later date. Only thing stopping it getting 5 stars is it's a bit modern for some who prefer "classic" pub atmosphere, others may prefer it though.

Had a lovely early dinner with family there last night, the place looks great, lots of outdoor seating, lots of fun for kids at the playground so we could enjoy few drinks in the sunshine, the food was very nice and service good, definitely coming back, keep up the good work.

Country pub with a lovely garden. A shade sail keeps you cool on hot days.

Якщо ви хочете смачно поїсти та комфортно провести час, вам в паб Tap, комфортна, гарна локація для дітей, чудові напої, корисна їжа, привітне обслуговування. Заздалегідь можна замови столик на велику кількість осіб. Дуже мальовниче місце рекомендую

Unfortunately they don't have a wheelchair accessible toilet even though their website says it does.

Very good food. Good atmosphere. Very busy. Service was slow as one staff was missing, but we didn’t mind.

Had such a lovely Sunday roast here.. so nice we have booked for Mother’s Day . The staff are all friendly and very accommodating

Went for Sunday lunch. The Roast was excellent, very tasty & piping hot. Service was good as well. Circa £40 a head with drinks.

All went wrong. Booked for 3pm on Sunday. They said they had it down for 3.30pm, but the true was they didn't have our reservation. We sat at 4.15. But I understand, it can happen when you use pen and paper to manage reservations. But then the worst. Just 2 kids who probably were at their first experience (I don't blame them) who left us, and the whole upstairs room, with no service and no food. We started eating at 5.30 ish, and the food wasn't great either. My fish pie, had a nice mashed potatoes and 2 pieces of fish inside. I still can understand there are days when everything goes wrong. I hope it was this the case. People told to visit you for you outstanding Sunday roast. Not this time.

I enjoyed an excellent lunch of fish and chips. The service was a bit slow but friendly. I therefore paid the service charge in full which had been included automatically on the bill.

Great Sunday lunch. Good food and atmosphere.

Nice pub. Very friendly staff. Very helpful for a group of walkers. 😊😊

The food was brilliant!! Already planning our next visit, with the dogs of course.

Best meat pie for miles around.

Food wasn’t brilliant and the service was diabolical

Lovely garden to spend an afternoon in the autumn sunshine - the pizzas from the wood fired oven were delicious with really unusual topping combinations. The blue cheese, belly pork and apple pizza was fabulous - highly recommended

This is a lovely pub with some great food at reasonable prices. It has a brilliant area for children and loads of toys to keep little one’s entertained.

Just had lovely evening here. Food was delicious, spacious seating are and attentive staff. Great job, will be back

We had a very tasty shared starter but the main course of Crispy Cod was far from good. The handcut chips were soggy and burnt. When we pointed out that we were very disappointed, we were each offered a scoop of ice-cream (which was tasty). On this Thur evening (4th Aug), they were short staffed (only one person serving on bar and one serving the tables) and the two young ladies were clearly stressed. However, there was also clearly a lack of care in the kitchen which is more difficult to accept. Aside from the disappointing food, the interior decor and outdoor seating are high quality. It is a pity that they were let down by not having enough staff and having a lack of care in the kitchen.

Brilliant place to hold a special meal

Such good food and dog friendly too Staff very good. Highly recommended.

Pizza's were great! Kids loved the play apparatus, made lots of friends, and barely saw them all afternoon!

Best food served, with the perfect ambiance

Shockingly slow service…. Second visit as they have a great playground but once again half full tables and everyone left waiting and complaining! Main courses took over 1hr 30mins to come out, because of a ‘back long’ of orders?? Sadly wouldn’t return or recommend

Great food, great atmosphere, hidden gem

Friendly village pub with lovely garden. Good selection of drinks and food available.

Great place to meet up for a family/ friends gathering. Friendly attentive staff serving excellent quality food.

Service was slow, food nice but expensive. I'd think about going again but wouldn't be my first choice.

A well run village pub with a good food menu & even a village shop excellent

Lovely pub with a sun soaked beer garden and a nicely covered area with a tv for when it rains! Nicely done up inside as well with friendly attentive staff. Stopped for Sunday lunch and tried their Roast in a baguette which was well priced and nicely filled with lots of meat! Food came out quickly which is always a plus!

Great food and lovely customer service. Highly recommended. Garden fabulous.

Beer good with choice of guest beers, food sound lovely garden great with outside pods.

Lovely atmosphere and gorgeous food. A little on the pricey side but worth it!

Simply wonderful. The food is so full of flavour. Loved everything. Children are very welcome without wishing they were served grilled. Service efficient and friendly. Looking forward to returning this Sunday for another treat..

Lovely modern English indoor village vibe. With vast outdoor seating, as well as ample area for children to play. #Dogfriendly

Having eaten twice at the Brewery Tap the food is excellent but the service leaves a lot to be desired... It is a lovely pub and we had the same waitress for both visits who was very good but she had far too much to do and we were not the only ones noticing the lack of adequate staffing. . The Staff that were standing behind the Bar were on their phones and not assisting to any great degree. A shame... we will give it another try but if the experience is repeated a third time it is highly unlikely that we will go back and would rather take our custom elsewhere.

Excellent food and service! Very friendly and welcoming.

Our local pub and absolutely love it. Very friendly staff who are always very accommodating. Food is always amazing and they do the best Sunday roast and by far the best sticky toffee pudding! Also the best pie I have ever had. A fantastic place in the winter and a beautiful garden for the summer. Dan and Hannah!

Superb meal with the best pie I’ve had with beautiful crisp pastry . The dome was pre heated and ready for us when we arrived and lovely service

We just love The Brewery Tap, great selection of beer and the food is amazing, all the staples when you fancy really good pub grub, plus some alternatives if you fancy branching out.

Good food, generous portions, prompt service and great atmosphere – all you need from a countryside pub.

If in doubt have the pie it's really good, thanks.

Stunning setting. Lunch in an igloo. Warm welcome, exquisite menu and delicious food! Thanks so much Grace our waitress who couldn't do enough for us 😘

Used to be our only pub in Ferneux Pelham. Glad to see it back in operation and more flexible. A lovely relaxed atmosphere to meet friends.

Beautiful place, amazing food. X

The food was nothing special at a premium price plus a surprised 12.5% service charge - was this added to the bill to fund their 5-6.30 happy hour for locals ? This was a poor offering

What a gem!! I was recommended this place by a friend and we were hugely impressed. We were really looked after by the friendly staff and the food was immense. Will def be sharing this one with friends and family.... and bringing the kids back next time to try out the big play area in the garden.

I enjoyed the food and drink. Although there is a long wait for food when it is busy. But was good to have the outside space for children.

Food was very good but the organisation of the service was appalling. Meal ordered at 2:15 not served until 3:30!! I’m all for quality but it wasn’t worth the wait!!!
