The Brook Inn in Plymouth

An amazing pub overall , the bar tender Conner is so friendly , likable and keeps the energy alive . I recommend you try this place with a great selection of drinks and nice locals it's perfect for anyone.

Walked here yesterday while showing family around Plympton. Very friendly attentive staff, comfortable seating to enjoy a few beers & chat. Dog friendly, good selection of beers..... recommended.

Excellent went with Mt family including young ones great family atmosphere very friendly and professional staff will be going back

Clean and tidy, friendly staff and the food was very good . A good place to visit with plenty of parking.

Good food, good music, pleasant staff

Nice to see The Brook open again. Looking forward to Sunday Carvery when it comes.

First time here. Bar staff very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and really great value, will definitely come back

Nice to see it open again , could do with the word spread a bit further. Good evening with a great solo singer . See you again soon . I didnt eat so can really score.

My son took us to the Brook inn for Sunday lunch, it was quite dark inside, the food took around 30mins to come and when it did it was barely warm, the veg was cooked to within an inch of its life, I had chicken and pork, the chicken was very dry, and the pork was tasteless, my plate was swimming in very bitter concealed gravy, all in all not a very nice meal, we won’t be returning….

Decided on whim to visit local pub for a Sunday roast. We'll it did not dissapoint, a delicious meal,with all fresh Ingredients, meat plentiful very tender we both had the pork😋 great background music, only small criticism was its a bit dark inside. Would return again. 😊

Had a wonderfull evening meal and Connor and Rita where so helpful and friendly, will definitely be returning soon .

Pleasant pub, lovely beer garden, plenty of parking nice gardens, if I lived local I'd be a regular to unwind after a days graft, drinks very reasonable prices.

We dropped in here with friends from the isle of wight. Forgot how much of a wonderful pub the brook inn is to be honest. Fairly new owners. The pub was extremely presentable, lots of comfortable seating and the food was top notch. There was a short wait for the food but boy was it worth it. Beautifully presented, reasonably priced and amazing taste. Would recommend to anyone. Will definitely be back

Really delicious and very generous roasts, both vegan and meat, with all the trimmings. Beautiful day sitting outside in the garden. Absolutely lovely bar staff, so friendly and welcoming. Fab decor inside, really funky art on the walls and I love the furnishings, especially the sofas and the cosy corners. I can imagine it would be lovely on a winters night as well, especially for a romantic midweek night out. Highly recommended.

Great food friendly atmosphere and greet staff

Sorry guys, I cannot rate you higher. I haven't eaten any of your food & it's years since I've been to your premises BUT I can honestly say, I have NEVER had a venue take FOUR days to respond to a message re a large booking. You might not be bothered but for a 60th surprise booking, you won't be surprised I went Since I cannot find a way to respond to your response, I am having to post it here, at the end of my original review. It was a telephone message, left on Monday. My query was returned, by your business, on Thursday at 11.01.

Lovely afternoon lunch with family. The chicken & ham pie was delicious, there was so much meat the young lady kindly wrapped it in foil so we could take it home. Everything was hot & tasty.

The Brook is a friendly pub on the edge of Plympton. Lots of space, pleasant surroundings and extensive pub menu. Difficult times for all pubs but with little passion and flair the Brook could be a great local venue again.

Excellent service freezing cold inside

A group of us (adults and kids of different ages) had lunch at The Brook. We all chose something different and all our meals were well presented and delicious. Would definitely visit again.

Excellent food and service, well cooked well presented and extremely tasty. A real treat, don't miss out, go and try their small plates. 10 out of 10

Friday night drink with my kids after a long week at work, served by a sullen unwelcoming humourless bar maid. No wonder there was hardly a soul in the pub.

I visited with my partner for some food in the evening. The building was lovely and the staff were welcoming. We had the vegetarian and the Brook's burger. Both of which were very underwhelming, both had little to no taste served with 'homemade coleslaw' which was clearly straight from a packet. All tasted like pre prepared low quality frozen food. The waitress asked us how are food was once we were already done and ready to leave at which point we didn't see any reason to complain, the food was edible and although nothing was 'wrong' with it, it wasn't enjoyable. I messaged to provide honest feedback to the restaurant with the intention of improvements being made/purchasing of higher quality ingredients but was never responded to. Food was expensive for the quality and the restaurant was cold, would not return.

Sunday roast - meat was good / veg was tasteless. Nice service and location. A little cold but I guess that’s saving money on heating. Probably a good venue for live music. We will give it another go.

Visited The Brook Inn today for an extremely tasty meal. Food was great as was the friendly atmosphere, the pub is dog friendly and spacious. Would thoroughly recommend. Staff were extremely welcoming.

Cozy atmosphere and good service.

Great friendly pub with good beer and food

Amazing roast dinner, big portions plenty of sauces and loads of gravy! Staff friendly and nice and lovely atmosphere will be coming again!!

Awesome Sunday roast! I had the roast beef and my partner the pork. Both absolutely loved it. Lots of meat and loads of veg to share! Meat was lovely and tender. Gravy was tasty. Thank you The Brook Inn!

We booked last minute as we had been in Plymouth shopping. When we arrived they showed us to our table and were very welcoming. On looking through the menu we realised it wasn’t carvery style but thought it would be ok, we paid £48 for 2 adults mixed meats and 2 children’s roast plus £7 for a child’s nuggets as youngest is quite fussy!! The wait was quite long we waited about 20 minutes for our meals to arrive!! When it did the meat looked lovely, the children had 1 potato each, a stuffing ball and parsnip and a Yorkshire!! Our 2 meat ones looked good but still only 2/3 potatoes!! Then the veg came out a bowl of red cabbage, a dish of brocoli and a dish of sliced carrots and then the smallest dish of cauliflower cheese to serve all 4 of us!! We basically had a sprig of cauliflower each!! Then the nuggets came out on first sight I could see they were over cooked but because we had already waited long enough I did g make a fuss and went with it, but yea fussy eater ate 1 mouthful and that was it!! We had to ask for more gravy and I can’t fault the girls as they were both lovely!! No one came to ask how the meal was so couldn’t air my views until afterwards and we just said about the nuggets which they refunded!! I own my own catering company and well my roast dinner is double the size of there’s and half the price as well!! Unfortunately it wasn’t a pleasant stop for us purely price wise it was a very expensive roast dinner that wasn’t really a roast!! All of us have come home still hungry!!

Unfortunately we didn't have a good evening the last time we visited The Brook. The staff were far from welcoming & the place was freezing. We ate with our coats on (we weren't the only table wearing coats) & asked for the heating to be put on, it finally came on at 1930, too late & too cold for the 28th December. On the plus side the food was OK.

It was very nice.we were at a wake.

Proper big servings of food! The nachos were delicious, tons of cheese, not expensive. Wait, the roast Chicken meal portion was tiny.

It's a decent pub, which was sadly quite quiet for a Friday night.

Lovely setting. Traditional old pub with wooden beams and log burner. Decent selection of beers. HOWEVER. Food was very disappointing, especially for the price. We had the brook (beef) burger and veggie burger for £15 and £12. They wouldn't be out of place at a burger van being sold for £6. I would go as far as to say I'd prefer a bog standard wetherspoons hamburger. We will not be visiting again.

What a shame . The food looked lovely , it was hot and plentiful . Downside....it was tasteless . No flavour, the gravy was coloured water . The beef was so chewy that I left it . The plates are so small it makes it difficult to eat from . The place itself is nicely decorated , but it was freezing !! People were wearing coats . No fire going . Radiators not on . I'm a warm person , so I don't like to be hot , but I don't expect to be chilled . The pudding was nice but I had to ask where it was as 20 mins after finishing the mains it still wasn't anywhere to be seen . The table they originally showed us to had a buggy parked in a seat area and people's drinks on it . Actually they didn't show us , they said it's around the corner we'll just get some chairs ?!! They had to find us somewhere else . ridiculous . The staff are also miserable and do not know how to smile . Such a shame as it's very near to us and could have been a regular place to eat

Had my 20th birthday party here such Amazing service, staff were so friendly, such a warm and welcoming environment!… will definitely be back and definitely recommend for party’s/ events.!!!🙂

Not great, booked in advance was seated in pub rather than the restaurant, no options, not in a hurry to go back, coffees were cold, had to be remade, food not great, Ham was very undercooked, raw in places. No apology or explanation from the Chef, Freezing cold, had to keep coats on, only nice thing was the pudding, staff not particularly friendly, couldn't raise a smile between them, wont be long before they close down again I suspect, empty and unwelcoming place.

Had my 20th birthday party here at the brook inn… such a warm and welcoming atmosphere!!..pub was really busy and nothing was too much trouble at all!..the buffet was delicious also they were amazing at catering for diet requirements/allergies which was perfect for my guest!!.. I will definitely be back and recommend this pub to anyone that’s looking at booking a party or event here!!! A big Well done to the brook team

One of the best local pubs in Plympton. The staff are fantastic and very friendly. Highly recommended the Sunday roast.

Awful food, everything dripping in oil. Toilets disgusting to the point I couldn’t breathe from the smell of urine. Service poor, do not recommend.

Came here after having a nice roast last month for dinner.my daughters fish fingers were just pure oil! My husbands burger bap was 100 years old and stale ! And the onion rings vile we could not eat them without oil dripping down our faces. To make it even worse the mens toilet smelt like tramp alley to the point my husband said he never wants to come back and this was before we even received our food. When we told the waitress that the food was bad all we got was a half assed sorry and the bun was toasted ( it certainly was not) and then blatantly heard her and the owner / landlady talking about the situation and didn’t even have the courtesy to come out to talk with us or offer any form of refund. Probably the reason why we got made to pay for our food before we ate it and why we were the only customers in there ! This is the first review I have ever done that proves how disappointing this place is.

Went to the Brook Inn as an early Birthday celebration with family as it is also dog friendly 🐾 Enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast in a cosy atmosphere 💞

Visited the The Brook inn since under new owners. Nine of us for Sunday Roast. Food and service very good. Will definitely back in the future 👍

Roast meals nice, roast pots a little hard, thick skins. Roast beef superb. Staff very efficient. Toilets clean.

Had a really nice burger, My colleague had flat iron steak and said it was one of the best he's ever had

Lovely pub with great food and good hospitality, would definitely recommend

Was really disappointed with all 4 meals we ordered. Ham, egg and chips were just thrown on the plate and you couldn’t view the ham (obviously deliberate) because it was tough. Nachos not enough covering and the guacamole and sour cream with no salsa was an after thought 10 mins later. Mussels- well were do I start!!! The first portion was cold and with no fries. So returned and the second lot were appalling - just like mussels served in dish water with no flavour and slightly warmer. And the service from the waitress was the worst I have ever come across….spent the majority of my time trying to find her! No apology for everything that was wrong and completely blasé……my advice stay clear from this place and we won’t be back and that’s such a shame as me as before it was good! Advice- need to train your chef on how to cook and front of house staff need customer service training for sure. And for 4 meals at a cost of £77……really!! My school meals were better!!

Great food great atmosphere would definitely come back

Great food, atmosphere and the staff were great too.

A really lovelly pub. I just wish it was at the end of my road so I could have had a couple more beers!

Nice pub with reasonably priced menu 👍

Really good seats and really good toilet seats and really nice soup and J20 are the top sell drink on the menu and the toilets are lovely and the food is impeccable also the staff is quality

1.Lovely table service 2.food is lovely 3.seats are comfortable

Warm and welcoming country pub with a comprehensive menu - vegan options and dietary restrictions catered for. Excellent draught beer range as well as wide selection of gins and wines behind the bar

Nice pub with nice grounds to sit out. Only went inside to order as it was too hot. Only had a couple of beers there but they were nice and cold and hit the right spot.

Unfortunately food not up to much. Veggie burger still raw in the middle

If I could give 0 stars I would. Don't bother eating here. Worse food we have ever had (didn't eat it) didn't offer to give us our money back especially for the steak that we couldnt eat and paid £20 for. Just offered us food or deserts instead of money back for our 3 meals. The brownies were so dry, looked like they had been made weeks before and tasted gross. All of it was just not nice. The burger was just raw and sopping with blood which made the bap soggy and pink. Yuk. We went home hungry. The manager was so nice we felt bad then kicking up a fuss about our gross brownies we didnt eat that we got given but I now wished we had just got all out money back. The manager as I said was lovely but the other people that worked there were just so moody.

Booked last minute for 8 which they were able to accommodate. Good food reasonably priced. Lovely place, would go there again.

Reserved a table - When we got there, there was not a reservation When the food arrived, our halloumi was freezing cold. They took them back (with Two bites taken) and they came back refried, including the two fries we had taken a bite from! Steak dry, cold and tasteless Burger - red in the middle and sopping wet burger bun? Muscles were OK but sauce was watery and tasteless. Brownie's for desert weren't Brownie's. They were horrendous. The manager was fantastic, and very kind. But the food was Terrible and obviously unhygienic throwing fries back in a fryer that we had taken a bite from and reserving them!

Beer was well kept, food was average, no atmosphere. Could have been the time of the week.

Lovely meal with friends, good food and friendly service 😋

Lovely food and friendly staff in a nice setting. Beer and cider could be colder though

TL;DR Food was very good but service was poor. We had booked for 12 people (granted it's not a small booking), we were asked to move our own tables to accommodate and move them back when we were finished. Fine. Not a big deal at all. When ordering at the bar, staff were talking amongst themselves and ignored us. At one point, one was told 'youll have to wait as I'm dealing with your table.' Bit much. Plates were never cleared despite us carrying on for an hour after food was finished. Chef extended the menu (normally reduced Sunday menu) for us which was very appreciated. The food was excellent and worth travelling for. I'm not a vegetarian but would pick the vegetarian burger again! Lovely outdoor seating and additional parking round the back.

After googling the best ploughman's in Plymouth and being directed to the Brook Inn in Plympton, we were not disappointed. The staff are friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Thanks to Adam, Rita and Zoe. The presentation and the food was beyond amazing. I highly recommend and will be returning soon.

Nice pub lovely food,, let down by terrible customer service! Ordered vodka and coke and vodka and lemonade.. both coke and lemonade were flat... my partner didnt mind flat lemonade,,i decided to return the vodka and coke after only having two sips was undrinkable.. I had a very rude response telling me that it was my fault for leaving the drink on the bar to long whilst ordering my food and the ice melting made it go flat.. not good at all. Yes i did get given another drink which i was greatfull for but even the second drink (vodka and lemonade with ice) was aslo flat straight away so it was nothing to do with ice melting. I didnt bother mentioning the second flat drink really couldn't be bothered with another dispute. Maybe check gas on pumps. 2 stars was for the food and the pub.

Had the crispy pork belly bits tonight from our favourite chef Connor would highly recommend these we will be back again.

Excellent food at The Brook Inn with generous portions, the pork belly starter was amazing. All the staff very friendly, a little hidden gem, highly recommend.

This pub is very nice but unfortunately food wasn't that great

Really lovely evening here - great selection of drinks including cocktails and great ciders. We had fish and chips (huge and tasty) and a lovely burger. Fab spot with dining room, comfy sofas area and huge garden. This place only opened a year ago and it’s a great addition to the area. Team were absolutely lovely too - brilliant hospitality!

Lovely little pub with friendly staff amd a nice welcoming atmosphere 😁👍

This was our first time in the pub as we have just moved to the area. We have tried 6 other pubs in Plympton before! Love the garden & outdoors music and really lovely inside. All staff were very friendly and the food we had was also very good. We both agreed there and then that we wanted to come back another time.

Lovely looking pub in a picturesque part of Plympton. Great service from Emily and her team. Fantastic food too with proper gluten free options. Loved the corned beef fritters! Would highly recommend.

A lovely pub, good service, great food, staff friendly. Our first visit, first class, thank you guys

Fab pub. Great events and regular quiz night. Live music on a couple of nights each week Fantastic food on offer at the moment. Quizzes night every fortnight on a Sunday is fantastic. Lovely friendly pub Please visit it is an amazing pub. Always friendly

First time I've visited since it changed hands. Enjoyed a lovely meal with a good selection of local real ales. Live music. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Card payments only.

Great Sunday night quiz. Good food menu.

Friendly and nice environment, enjoyed our meal in the garden area.nicely presented food, we enjoyed our meal

Lunch of a burger here. Was a good homemade burger, very quiet when I went of a lunchtime. Not a big lunchtime menu, but the food that I ha was good.

Pub is fantastic and staff but menu a bit bland very short on choice.

Had a roast here today and the staff are lovely and attentive. The roast was all very nice apart from the potatoes, they tasted and felt like they had been cooked this morning and reheated in the microwave before being served. Such a shame as apart from that the meal was very nice.

Friendly staff, good selection of drinks, and clean tables. Food was letdown, average at best. Not great atmosphere; visited on a Saturday evening, and place was practically empty. Overall, it was okay. Not great, not awful.

We visited a few times over the past years. In the recent year I feel it's gone down hill. Staff were moody and ruined the atmosphere. Didn't feel welcome. Food was average. Thus a below than average review and shan't rush back.

Friendly staff nothing to much trouble great service all round in a lovely setting offering great food great vibes well worth a visit 😀 weather eating drinks with friends coffee & a chat great entertainment also 10 out of 10.

Nice pub a little quite but was mid afternoon clean and nice staff

Very nice .great staff and nice food

Very friendly staff, wonderful food and a good drink selection. The Sunday roast is always a win - we have never left hungry! Dog friendly for well behaved pups.

Food excellent 👌 staff really helpful lovely bubbly people,had a lovely day with family it was my mum's 80th she had the best day ever .would definitely recommend this place .

Lovely pub and delicious food. The kilo of mussels is recommended

Very good. Fitted 6 of us in last minute. Generous portion sizes. Tasty Sunday lunch. Nice atmosphere.

Went here last nite with our works delayed Christmas do. Great food warm and cosy atmosphere.

Excellent meals,great service,nice amb ience

Came here for the Peaky Blinders New Years party and had an amazing time! Really well organised and entertaining. Casino, live music and DJ were all great! Hopefully they do something similar this year as I would love to go again!

Food was beautiful, new owners have done a great job at updating the inside. Really homely. Given a 4 as it was really cold inside. We had to keep our coats on the whole time. Bit of a buzz kill.

Very welcome greeting, good atmosphere and very welcoming.

A lot better that it's been for years, a bit has been spent on it. All clean, food looks good. Fair prices and good service.

The food was really nice, But whilst sat in the pub it was a bit chilly

Good for a cosy pint with a date or family / friends.

Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Attended a wedding, so haven't tried any of the meals, but will definitely be back.

Lovely chilled atmosphere. Quick and friendly service. Food fresh and tasty 👍🏼
