Decisión de última hora para parar a comer algo, el precio era bueno, el personal era muy acogedor y amable y la comida era deliciosa. Tomé un filete y estaba perfectamente cocinado y sabía delicioso. Había estado teniendo un día de mierda, pero me fui sintiéndome mucho más feliz gracias al personal amable, buena música y comida sabrosa. Definitivamente volveré.

This was my first visit to the fairwater hotel. I moved to the area about a year ago, but never thought about visiting. The new owners have been posting on the committee site quite a lot with new entertainment and photos of the new menu. I thought I would pop in with my dog (on my evening walk). The pub was super friendly with water for my dog as well. I had a glass of wine and a chat with some regulars and the landlady. This pub will become somewhere I will will frequent often. It really felt like a safe space for someone on their own as well as my dog, and if he's good my husband as well 😎 Thank you for your hospitality.

The Fairwater is a really good place to visit. I’ve been here many times over the last few years and recently had lunch here. The food was spot on and the staff, as usual were engaging and great. I couldn’t recommend the place enough. Lois and Jodie made me feel at home here and the locals were so friendly also.

We had lovely food and great service from a lady called lois, nothing was too much even though she was rushed off her feet and working singlehandedly, she served us at the bar and Brought our food over to us and it was still piping hot. I even forgot to order fries instead of chips for my daughter and even though it was my fault, she just offered to change them for us no problem. Great service and will be back.

Food was ok. Ordered coffee and told that the machine was broken so only flat white available. Coffee arrived too strong and cold. Sent it back and Landlord aggressively queried why as it was ‘proper Nescafé’!! Tool one back and offers no refund - even tho we had been charged for filter coffee. Waitress was lovely. Landlord aggressive and rude abs continued to stare at people whilst they were eating.

Had a really nice Mac & Cheese today, great kids meal also. Our friend had the prawn salad and it was yummy too. Serving staff were really nice too, especially interacting with my younger son. One gent got a little loud with some coloured language and the manager asked him to leave, which was really appreciated for our dining comfort. Would return again if we were in the area, thank you for a great meal.

Great pub, lovely surroundings and the staff are so polite and accomidating. One particular member of staff named Lewis was so kind and thoughtful, being aware of the children maybe wanting their food sooner than the adults, which mine DEFINITELY did haha. Also took the time to check you’re happy with everything I cannot fault anything at all and the food was delicious and very reasonable with large portions. Shame I couldn't finish it all 😁❤

Only returning now after all this covid. The fairwater hasn't changed a bit still friendly and welcoming. Remembered us like it was yesterday. Welcomed our group of "oldies" with enthusiasm and appropriate humour making us immediately feel at home and valued. Food was lovely, just like we remembered. Will be back regularly now. Johnny is a darling.

Visited for Sunday lunch booked on Mother's day with family and was very impressed, seated straight away, service was quick and the food was lovely with very nice portions. Staff are amazing and very friendly too. Visited a few other places recently for Sunday lunch and been let down with the service in some and food not being so good in others so this was like a breath of fresh air, will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended!

Popped to the Fairwater today for a business meeting and had a bite to eat with soft drinks (although would've been a pint if not working!). The staff were really busy and efficient in ways of working, clear covid notices and one way system in place. Place was really clean, tidy and very covid safe! I had the fish finger (mini whale) sandwich. Wish I had a taken a photo as it was fantastic. Great size portion with chips and crisps. Really impressed and would defo recommend if you are in the area and looking for some great value pub grub! Thanks Gavin

Louis and Tayler a massive credit to this pub and both amazing with the children.

Nunca escribo reseñas, ¡pero la comida de hoy fue fantástica! ! El servicio era insuperable y la comida era para morirse (mi amigo casi muere después de robar mi bola de relleno). Felicitaciones a John y al equipo, el pedido de 40 personas fue acertado. Teníamos nuestra propia habitación con la gran pantalla con deportes. . los niños se lo pasaron muy bien y se sintieron bienvenidos. Sin duda recomendaría el pub Fairwater. . pero no esta vez el año que viene, ya que lo hemos reservado.

Came here on bank holiday Monday for the Fairwater festival. All the staff were lovely and had put in a massive effort for all the kids.My wife is vegetarian so could not eat off the BBQ so we decided we would eat inside. She had the veggie sausage mash and gravy.The mash had not been mashed together and still have big chunks of potato in it and it was dry.

Went toThe Fairwater pub for Sunday lunch today, food was excellent value and very nice too. 2 mains, 2 puddings and 2 drinks for £18. The staff are fantastic, The Manager and the girl behind the bar are so friendly and make you feel welcome. Food came within 10 minutes of ordering and the portions are sizes are excellent too. It's the 2nd time I've been in 6 months. First time I came I had to eat in the bar as the lounge was full and pub was packed but this time I booked in advance and sat in the lounge.

Then our main meals came out together and all were really tasty. I Had gammon with poached eggs ... delicious. Scampi for my sis,lasagne and gammon for my parents,hunters chicken,and burger for my children. All our meals were cooked to perfection and were all demolished with no complaints. I would recommend anyone to eat here. Reasonably priced and well looked after by pleasant staff.

The Bunker was full so we decamped to the Fairwater and we were very glad we did. We were able to sit in pleasant surroundings, in relative tranquility, and order from a wide selection of lunches: large plates, smaller portions and traditional pub lunches. We all chose something different, expect for the twin aunts, who went for the same thing...surprise surprise. They could be in separate restaurants and order the same thing. Anyway, my cousin had the chicken salad, and declared it magnificent. I had the loaded nachos with chilli beef & beans - delish! My mum had the lasagne and proclaimed it tasty & hot (which is important to mum, who doesn’t like cold food, or cooling food - she likes hot food to be hot!) our waiters, Emma and Lois were brilliant, making recommendations and suggestions which we appreciated very much. Our chef Louis also made an appearance at table, which was a refreshing experience. Lovely to know that the chef cares about how we enjoy our food as customers. Well done the Fairwater! 5 stars all round!

The cost was really reasonable too. The only downside was some of the locals "f-ing and blinding" even though there were several children present but we didn't let that put us off.

The fairwater hotel is a lovely little pub, with a great atmosphere. The staff are always so friendly and ready to greet you with a warm smile. Theres a huge beer garden and plenty of seating to enjoy the sunshine. The food is excellent presented really well and tastes exceptional plus the price is a bargain for what your getting. On a monday they have buy one get one free on the meals so you could grab yourself and a friend a meal for less than 6 pounds. Theres a few televisions in there and they will cater to what the drinkers want whether it's racing, football or music channels. I highly recommend a stop in the fairwater hotel i doubt you would be dissapointed.

They serve a decent pint of Brains but the atmosphere in the lounge isn't amazing. I'm always scared of going in the actual bar and find it quite intimidating - lots of youths hanging out by the betting shop, shouting at passing cars and staring at you when you go passed. We stayed just across the road and I don't know how the local manage with the shouting at kick-out. That said if you have 20 minutes between busses or need a quiet pint the lounge is OK...typical bar really

Every time I visit the staff are so friendly! I come here a lot and I have never had a bad experience. They’re quick and polite no matter how busy they are (and it gets very busy some mornings) but this is a testament to their success. Top Tip: the Chai Latte is the best I’ve had from anywhere in the world.
