The Bridge Inn in South Staffordshire

We popped in for a couple of drinks whilst in area made to feel welcome drinks where reasonable priced thank you

Lovely little pub. Small, but good choice of beers. Didn't eat here, but the food did smell wonderful. Dog friendly batlr. Will use again.

Sunday lunch was amazing Large selection of vegetables & thick slices of delicious meats served by friendly helpful staff Would recommend

Visited The Bridge yesterday for Sunday Lunch it was the best carvery ive had. Staff are so lovely and friendly will definitely be returning again

Came here for drinks yesterday for the first time and it's a lovely little pub. Staff and patrons were so friendly. Got talking to a few people. Beer was good as were the snacks. Also nice view of the canal which you can sit beside outside! Lovely location.

Fantastic pub and location carvery was very easy and the young chef Harry was knowledgeable and very professional

Three of us visited here today to try the Sunday Carvery. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced! We had a very generous portion of succulent meat with a delicious accompaniment of vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding, Stuffing balls, Crackling and very tasty gravy. All perfectly cooked! The Chef was humorous, professional and very personable. The staff both in the restaurant and behind the bar were really lovely and exceptionally helpful. What a really lovely pub by the canal in Brewood. If you enjoy Carvery, it’s certainly a place to visit. We will certainly be returning.

Very friendly staff and good food

Sunday carvery is really good value.. Large portions of meat and a wide selection of vegetables .. Slight mix up with one of the orders from the menu so dropped a star for service otherwise very friendly helpful staff.. Highly recommended

Went to the Bridge for a carvery the food was amazing I would highly recommend it

Good service & food. Nice traditional pub with good cask ales.

Nice food for the money. Good choice of beer. Lovely location by a canal. Interior a bit dated but that's probably how they can offer good value.

We were lured by the offer of a launderette and for only £7 we might be accepted in society again. We stayed for the food and drink and were well-pleased with their offerings. Special thanks to the lovely young woman who helped with laundry machines and served of very well.

A great traditional family pub.

Thank you all for an amazing evening for my birthday celebration. Excellent buffet and dietary needs catered for. The room was perfect and the staff amazing. We'll be back,,!!

Nice canal side pub with a small beer garden. Dog friendly

Delicious food at a good price... atmosphere was cosy and service was great..well done to you all 👏😄

Lovely pub by canal and a few minutes walk to shops

Myself , husband and grandson have just finished our Sunday lunch at the bridge. What a surprise. Although we have been many times for dinner, lunch and drinks over the years and enjoyed it every time, today surpassed them all. Our lunch was really tasty, an ample portion and served with a smile. Phil couldn’t have been more helpful and engaging. All of the staff must be happy as all of them were attentive with a smile on their faces. I can honestly say there wasn’t a thing left on our plates. Please visit for yourself and you won’t be disappointed. Thankyou Kate Andrew and Liam Penkridge

Stopped here as an alternative to Kettering...traffic was awful. However, by good fortune the diversion paid off. Hat's off to the young gentleman behind the bar (Bob I think). Absolute ambassador for the Bridge Inn. Serving drinks and food and making sure everything was OK for us he went above and beyond in my opinion. Collecting glasses too. The locals know him well and it always lovely to hear the friendly chat in what is obviously, a community pub. Food was amazing and arrived very quickly. I've worked in pubs and bars in Waterloo with and Blackfriars with bar staff in London...I think he would easily outshine them. Keep doing what you're doing and we'll done!

Always been a good pub, everytime we visited.. But today it disappointed myself and my partner when we dropped in for a pub lunch, as this was my last day in brewood. We sat at a small table near the fire, and an older lady decided to sit with us on our table, which was odd. Then we had a crowd of dogs in, really noisy, me and partner moved. I did ask for another table the other side of the bar but it was all reserved. I did give up at that point and we decided to get a refund. The manager obviously wasn't happy, even though we wasn't happy with the experience. We was offered the food in boxes to take home but we live over an hour away, so not ideal. No refund was given and we left. The manager wasn't friendly, and right in my face. You okay if you have a dog or your an old local.

Lovely homemade food have visited here recently for Sunday dinner amazing , and went last night food was piping hot and delicious . Such a cosy warm country pub highly recommend

Excellent place to drink and moor up,

Very good carvery, busy, but prompt service. Professional and friendly staff.

Nice comfortable homely place food was excellent. Staff were helpful and friendly. The Bridge Inn is definitely somewhere to visit more than once.

The young man behind the bar was great on arrival, very friendly and patient when taking our order. There was a little wait on food but we were fine with that as it was lunch time and everyone seemed to arrive at the same time. The pub itself is very traditional and quaint, the fire was an added bonus; it just felt very welcoming. The food itself was delicious, I judge a place on its chips and they were so good. Thank you for a lovely time!

Great little pub, staff are always nice. Sunday carvery was very tasty.

It was a very busy Wednesday in the pub when we arrived (2pm). Very polite and welcoming staff who informed us the wait for food was 30 to 40 minutes. We continued to order and was served within 30 minutes. The food was excellent and service exceptional. Thank you to Kiera for her very pleasant and attentive treatment to all patrons.

A delightful Carvery today for the second time. Following a canal walk, by chance we popped in . Plentiful of well cooked food in a relaxed canal side setting . The manager is very proudly carving and takes delight in serving the Choice of 3 meats. Plenty of vegetable and assorted potatoes. why cook when we have this on our doorstep. Thank you

Went out for dinner. Two of us had the ‘Thursday Special’ steak meal. Really enjoyed the food, steaks perfectly cooked and really good value for the price. The others had mac and cheese, another had the veggie burger, both happy with their meals. Hosts were caring, but not intrusive. Good atmosphere in the pub. Would recommend eating there.

Haven’t been for a while and was glad to see it was still doing well. Had to have a couple of drinks changed due to barrel going but nothing was too much trouble. Great friendly service, great beer, food was nice and quick and tasty, and better yet we were made to feel welcome somewhere we haven’t been for a while. Very enjoyable afternoon spent catching up with family in a lovely village pub.

Great Sunday carvery. Great staff

We were strongly encouraged to visit this pub by the dog friendly signs and advertising. It’s dog tolerant at best. You are welcome to use the public bar which is small and cramped. We looked in but the small space looked particularly uninviting. We won’t be returning

Usually visit here every week with my dad and then I sometimes come for a Sunday carvery. The food is always spot on, a lovely place to bring the family and friends, a lovely selection of drinks. If you’re ever coming to Brewood or want to make a trip, I’d always recommend The Bridge 😁

The Bridge Inn Brewood has changed so much for the better. The staff are friendly and welcome with a smile (thank you Kiera) I had a carvery which was excellent, my wife chose a vegetarian option, the food was piping hot, the portions very generous. A great choice of turkey, beef, pork and gammon plus a couple of vegetarian option, all excellent value. All in all a very positive experience came away quite stuffed! A big thank you to Phil and his team.

Great food great atmosphere lovely Landlord, Nicky and Milly were excellent too definitely worth a visit when you are in the area…

I went to the bridge yesterday with family and friends, booked for the carvery and got to say it was the nicest carvery ive ever eaten, and all the staff were amazing, will definitely be going again, and definitely recommend it

The salad I ordered promised kale, quinoa, brown rice & crispy onions but the proffered dish was inadequate regarding content. It consisted of spinach, rocket, minimal tomatoes, 1 slice of cucumber & 6 prawns which contained ice! Very disappointed & will not be repeated.

Booked in for the first Carvery yesterday Very good,great value for money Would definitely recommend Well done Phil and the team!!!

Food average, chicken burger was dry. We were in the back room, no atmosphere. Could have done with some background music. Waitress friendly and helpful.

Lovely Sunday roast , recommended !!!!!

Great bar and restaurant, definitely worth a visit

We had a nice lunch on a midweek afternoon after a walk on the cut. Nice and relaxed pub.

Warm welcome from hosts and locals. Beautiful food served quickly and great value. Excellent selection of food and drinks, highly recommended thank you

Lovely old-fashioned pub with a buzzing atmosphere. Food was piping hot and really nice and at such a reasonable price. Welcoming staff. I would highly recommend.

Visiting from Western Australia and visited the Bridge Inn perhaps 8 times during my visit. Phil & Nicki great hosts and the pub has a great homeley atmosphere. One of the few places i visited that has retained its character over the years from when i first lived in the area. Its such a shame that many of the old pubs and their atmosphere have disappeared...... except at the Bridge Inn !. The food was very good and the service was great. Phil & Nicki have plans for the pub which include the retaining of the great atmosphere and character. Thanks for looking after me while i was there.

Great pub. Drink and eat here often, always a friendly welcome from Phil and Nicky. Breakfasts and evening meals are excellent.

What a lovely pub (even though it's a Marstons). Nothing is too much trouble, great service from a gentle and friendly bar staff. Food is good value, but the great feature is the Launderette! If only every community pub had one! Seriously, definitely worth a visit. The service was miles beyond the last pub visited....

On a very wet rainy night we were given a warm welcome by the young lady serving behind the bar, sorry can’t remember name but you know who you from your pink crocks and fluffy socks. We had a nice meal, steak was cooked perfect medium rare. The owner/manager took the time to check everything was ok and we were also able to stay in our camper van in the car park overnight. If we are this happy on a wet Wednesday night in October then I can only imagine how good this place is on a warm summers day. We look forward to the next visit Thank you.

Great pub, great food, welcoming dog friendly pub

Cani first thank Eve & Nicki for their service, smile and professionalism. Me and my family ate here and were so impressed with the quality of the food and service we will definitely be back. steaks were done to perfection. Everything on our plates was hot and delicious. Even the desserts were different not the bog standard and not expensive. Thanks so much for a lovely evening.

Visited yesterday, we ordered some food and had it outside. A pleasant experience with good food, will go back again soon.

We called in as we were passing through, the food looked so inviting, we decided to eat, Ultimate Burger for me and a Rump Steak . Steak was cooked perfectly, generous portions and my Burger was delicious , great attentive service from the Landlady, and staff behind the bar were welcoming. Locals were friendly too, it made us late for our appointment. Wish we had a pub like this near us. Keep it up, we wish you well.

Must have been new help behind the bar. Got our food orders wrong and didn't charge us correctly. But very pleasant about the whole thing. The food was quite good and we sat outside with a nice view of the canal. We were visiting by boat and the locals at the bar were very friendly. Got our dog a portion of ice cream as it was her birthday!

Excellent service and great value for money.

Lovely pub. Catered for my coeliac. Bar man was extremely helpful and knowledgable too. Definitely recommend.

Popped in today for a Sunday roast after our dog walk. Staff were friendly and food was delicious! Lovely pub.

Had Sunday lunch here and it was lovely. Extensive menu to select from. Friendly bar staff and nice selection of ales.

I recently held my mum's wake at the Bridge Inn Brewood and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect during such a difficult time for our family. The spread they provided was absolutely fantastic—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. There was a great variety of options that catered to all tastes, and our guests were raving about the food. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a comforting place to gather and share memories. The team was incredibly attentive and supportive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Their kindness and professionalism truly made a difference during this emotional occasion. I highly recommend Bridge Inn Brewood for any event. Thank you for making a tough day a little brighter with your exceptional service and delicious food!

Disappointing lunch.Lattice pie was tasteless and all pastry with little filling. Who serves beef gravy with a chicken and mushroom pie with white wine sauce!!!!! Won’t be rushing back

Great spot on the Canal. Dropped in to use the laundrette, after 12 beers, the laundry done and chatting with many locals. Thanks Phil, wonderful afternoon and pub.

Nice and friendly staff, very accommodating

Good food spoilt by appalling service.

Excellent vegetarian breakfast, good price, extremely friendly staff! They also have pub skittles :-)

A very welcoming resteraunt which provides excellent food and service in comfortable surroundings.

We sat down in the vip lounge confusingly anyone can go in there. we tried to order food but you have to wait for 7pm they said if we booked we could of ordered earlier which i would understand if it was full but the few people there where not eating just having drinks. they didn’t have any fish and chips so i ordered a share nachos to share, on the menu this was advertised as being able the feed 2 adults but it could just about feed one. the onion rings nice but a lot of them where conjoined so instead of 8 it was more like 5-6 the halumi fries where nice so where the chips. i would reccomend going to another pub in the area.

The launderettes OK. Don't forget to bring your detergent. And ataffs friendly I get some looks . Maybe it's because I am a Brumby. A brummie who's said bye to brum.

Stopped for a sunny day drink and walk along the canal, lovely pub, great atmosphere .... Will be back for food, as it looks amazing.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. My experience at The bridge was nothing short of shocking. If you have food allergies DO NOT eat here. After being vegan for 15 years, my family and I were appalled to find out that they served us meat despite explicitly ordering vegan meals. This isn't just a minor slip-up—this is a huge breach of trust for anyone who cares about what they consume. EDIT: As we haven't eaten meat in so many years my elderly Mother has now vomited and is painfully bloated. To make matters worse, when we brought this to the attention of the staff, the response was absolutely disgraceful. The manager, an older woman, was not only rude but also aggressive in her response. Instead of offering an apology or showing any understanding, she dismissed our concerns entirely, as if we were the ones at fault. Her complete lack of empathy and professionalism made an already upsetting situation far worse. We were left feeling disrespected and unheard. For a place that should pride itself on hospitality, this was a shocking and deeply disappointing experience. I strongly urge anyone who values their dietary choices and expects basic decency from staff to avoid the bridge inn at all costs.

My daughter, sister and I had a lovely afternoon walk along the canal in Brewood today. We decided we'd go to The Bridge Inn and have a cold drink. We had a look at the menu and were delighted to see they had vegan options. So we ordered vegan chicken strips. The order arrived but were more ball shaped than a strips. Anyway we tucked in. I ate two balls but then my daughter commented on the consistency and taste. They had served us chicken. We've been vegan for 15 years. The rather aggressive response from the female manager when my sister asked for a refund was unacceptable. She was told I hadn't made it clear. I most certainly had. As the customer we were being blamed for their error. I am now left vomiting and very bloated because my body can't cope with the bacteria held in dead meat. If there had been some compassion from them for THEIR error it might have made it less distressing. I feel upset and angry. Vegans and vegetarians be aware. I've had to give 1 star in order to alert others. It would have been minus if this was an option. I hope the management read this and reflect on their responsibility to their customers.

Overlooking the canal with plenty of seating inside and out - handy laundry facility at rear of building ideal for boaters!

Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Brilliant food, great service, well priced, will be going there again. Problems with the electric today, but got through it.

What’s going on at the bridge inn

What a great pub experience.. Having moored at the moorings below. This pub was a welcome break. Plus the fact that it had a launderette was an added bonus. The pub layout was easy to navigate with plenty of room to maneuver between the tables in the restaurant side. Overall the pub is bright and airy, and also very clean. Toilets we're immaculate. As the saying goes you can always judge a pub by the cleanliness of it's toilets. The staff are extremely courteous, friendly and most welcoming with a smile to make you comfortable. Food was exceptional plus a wide variety of dishes all cooked to perfection and served piping hot. Waiting times for food we're also acceptable, even in busy times. There is also a substantial beer garden overlooking the canal to the rear and side of the pub. For those who want to use the launderette that is also to the rear of the building, with two good size washing machines and two good sized dryers. The landlords Nicky And Phil who have the right attitude by making customers feel very welcome. Thank you for a pleasant visit to your pub and good luck for the future there.

Lovely traditional British pub, with friendly staff and punters! I had a lovely reasonably priced gammon and look forward to coming back when next in the area!

We stopped here in our campervan en route to a festival at Weston Park. What a fabulous spot! The pub is very friendly, the food excellent and not overpriced. ( I'd highly recommend the sherry trifle cheesecake 🙂!). Launderette facilities too. A quiet spot with flat parking and right by a canal. Walking distance to the village and shops too, and a fabulous bakery! Everyone here is so friendly. This is one of the best pub stops we've had, we'll DEFINITELY be back.

Lovely pub in nice village setting. Husbands order was mixed up but mistake was rectified and the owner apologised for the mistake. Food was delicious. Only slight issue, food is ordered at the bar, which is fine, but there were regulars sat around the bar which made it a little awkward to order and pay.

Lovely spotless clean pub We had the cooked breakfast which was amazing. Chatted with the lovely manager who was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely one to visit if we are in this area again

Delightful experience only criticism very difficult to get phone signal

New owners certainly know how to run a pub. Excellent food drink and atmosphere, very reasonably priced aswell

Friday evening 7pm after we ordered our drinks we were told they’ve taken their last food orders. ?? 7pm on a Friday. Well odd. Outside on the pub wall the hours painted on the wall say food is served. Rather pop down the road - there’s great restaurant in village.

Stopped on our boat to use the laundry again. Ordered a beef lasagne and steak and ale pie. Food was gorgeous and tasty. Service excellent. Thank you.

Came here for some food with my 3 and 6 month old boys. Food is good, ales are good and kids menu is also good. Would recommend as family friendly. Staff were all attentive and we will definitely return. Thank you.

Don't know where all these bad reviews are coming from. We had the most wonderful experience, very welcoming, friendly and efficient staff. Food was lovely and great value.. New owners were very attentive, see you again Bridge Inn

Amazing food, the gammon was so tender and cooked well. Very hot and tasted good. My partner had the surf and turf, steak was perfectly cooked. Generous portions and helpful staff and always polite.

Amazing hunters chicken, lovely flavour. Staff were all friendly and helpful and perfect wait time for food. Couldn’t ask for more!

On the return journey from Scotland to Dover we were able to spend the night for free with our camper in the car park behind this pub/restaurant. From 4 p.m. we played cards, drank and had dinner while we were helped warmly. A nice pub/restaurant with a living room atmosphere.

Cheers to Phil and his team for an excellent gammon and perfect pizza. Good beer and chilled wine

Best Wainwright anywhere love it can't beat nice beer by canal

Arrived 2 mins early to be met by an unpleasant greeting. Not the happiest person poor attitude!! Sorry😡. In your response you have the wrong person. We didn’t come in the pub. You were rude, we never got a table. So your reply is wrong!!! Think you have mixed us up with someone else .

Lovely pub, food lovely and drinks reasonably priced. Guiness perfect. Great atmosphere .Bar staff friendly, landlord very understanding to our needy rescue dog. Definitely worth a visit, and if you’re a boater they have laundry facilities, what more could you ask 😊

Nice pub friendly staff, food not so good jacket potato very dry and not a lot of filling very poor for £7.99 price. (Piri piri chicken and cheese )

Very nice pub, had a good evening meal on our recent canal trip.

I held my 70th birthday party at the Bridge yesterday afternoon (12th May 2024). Phil and Nicky were fantastic. The service, care and excellent buffet was above and beyond. Would highly recommend. Maureen and Clive France

The vegie burger was okay but my wife had a plate of salad which contained lots of onion despite having clearly told the staff that she did not want any onions. She was charged far more than we expected for an unappetising salad and the 'dressing' made the whole thing taste of curry. When we told the server that we had asked for no onions she just apologised.

Excellent fish and chips, friendly welcoming place, nice clean and well presented pub.

Following good reviews on this site I phoned on Tuesday to book a table for Saturday to celebrate my grandsons 4th birthday, we arrived early only to be told someone had crossed out our booking and they were full unless we wanted to eat in a back room with a large group of airforce personnel. We spoke to the manager who was less than helpful and decided to leave the manager followed my daughter to the car park where he was less than pleasant my advice would be don’t assume booking means you will get a table and be welcome, I would add another local pub despite being busy did accommodate us and were fabulous

I couldn’t not in enough words tell anyone how sad my experience at the bridge inn made me. I would not recommend this pub to anyone who may be thinking of going unless you are a local. The year is 2024 yet my experience is something that I didn’t think I would experience in this day and age, they are very judgemental, argumentative and obviously just want to have local custom, which is fine if that’s how you want to run your business just a little bit of constructive feedback for the future, if you only want local custom maybe just say this when people try and book with you so nobody wastes their time
