The Tap Room at Hilden Brewery in Lisburn

great tour. highly recommend. great to learn more about this local brewery

Great tour and lunch was yummy.

My children took me out for Father's Day today and we all had a great meal served up by the most charming staff If I can only point 1 fault Your portions are too much I started off with soup a day wheaten bread that was a meal on its own My 14 year old grandson destroyed his burger I gave him half of mine On behalf the Nesbitt family I thank you We will be back again r

Lisburn u3a had a really enjoyable visit to the Brewery, a very interesting tour with us all learning a lot about brewing. We also had an excellent lunch of stew with tasting of 3 different beers. A great experience.

Visited the brewery on Saturday 13 April did a tour as part of a group followed by lunch. The tour was great and Owen who took it was very informative and certainly knew his subject. It was followed up by lunch which again was lovely. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon.

Lovely afternoon tea at the stables staff Lovely and friendly . Gorgeous spread

Really enjoyed the tour which was very interesting. The food and was delicious and was complemented by a very welcoming atmosphere and a highly anticipated flight of beer. I would highly recommend the Brewery Tour or even just lunch at the Stables.

Purchased tour for my husband's birthday as gift. Excellent experience. Beautiful area. Stunning outbuildings, dripping in period features. Very welcoming atmosphere in The Stables. Even if you arrive early, there is a variety of fresh traybakes or avail of the breakfast menu. Their resident golden retriever 'Hollie' will give you a warm welcome and flow from table to table for scraps and cuddles. We were then introduced to BrewMaster who gave us a brief history of Hilden Brewery before showing is round the Brewery from how they choose and prep the Barely to how they ferment and flavour the ale. Even had the bottling plant on site. Back to The Stables for a hot bowl with stout wheaten and a variety of Hilden ale and stout. Absloutlolutely worth every penny. Really affordable few hours out. We spent 3hrs as arrived early and relaxed after. Beautiful for Spring/ Summer as plants in bloom. Hilden in a hidden jem in Lisburn/Lambeg. My parents are retired and from Derry, they will be visiting via train and can walk shortly distance from Lambeg train stop. Easily accessabile for all ability's. Would definitely visit again for lunch and purchase the Brewery Tour for a gift. Claire& Gareth

Fabulous afternoon tea with great variety and the freshest scones ever. I've been three times and had different colleagues look after me... and they're all lovely. Great value too as you'll definitely have a doggy bag to take home for later!

Attended a wedding here and found the service and attitude lacking. The draught beer must have been sitting in the kegs for ages and everyone agreed was disgusting. Staff up their own backsides. Would never dream of returning.

Phenomenal staff and excellent experience!!

We attended the Halloween event at Hilden and were left coming away very disappointed. £15 per a child & £5 per an adult and all that was included was a pumpkin which you had to carve yourself, and could have bought for £1. The woodland walk / scavenger hunt looked like it had been thrown together in 5 mins, and there was litter strewn throughout the walk and a set of step ladders dumped at the side of the path. The whole experience may have been made worthwhile by receiving smores, hot choc or mulled cider at the end but these incurred an extra cost! So an added £2.50 for a bag of smores per child which consisted of stale choc digestives and couple of marshmallows. Mulled cider was £3 and not enjoyable with the amount of things floating in it. Overall a disappointing experience, with zero fun factor or atmosphere and which will not be repeated, especially when you can pay a couple of £ extra and have an amazing family experience elsewhere at Hydro or Streamvale etc. and which includes hot drinks for the adults! Not worth the money!

We went to Hilden Brewery Family Halloween Weekend. As a family we paid £57 to enter. When we arrived there was nobody to meet us as stated on the ticket. We managed to find the spooky walk, a trail with a few spooky toys lying about, it took about 5 minutes to walk through. When we got to the pumpkin patch we were told to walk back and get tokens for the pumpkins despite nobody showing us where to get these on the way in. Our children were then given stencils to draw on the pumpkins - the pens were not permanent so the design came off before they were even finished. The staff did not have the skills to carve the pumpkins, so we said we would just do it at home. No games were offered as stated on the advert. We were told the children should have received a game to play on the spooky walk, but we never received any. When we got to the fire tent, we were asked if our children had received candy bars - the staff member said that the children should have received these but obviously staff weren't giving them out, so went to get some. We were then told we had to pay a further cost to put our smores on the fire, so we paid £5 for 2 bags (bags which contained 2 smores each). It cost our family £62 to see a few plastic Halloween toys, receive a pumpkin to take home, and put smores on the fire. It was not well organised and extortionate. We will be going to other Halloween events in the local area next year which offer more for much less.

Really wonderful halloween atmosphere, staff SO friendly, food delicious, so much variety of experience and activities. Wonderful day!

Sat for ages no service, yapping dogs at table next, tables hadn't been cleaned crumbs everywhere. Not for me .

Hidden gem in lisburn. The afternoon tea was delicious, excellent value for money and the staff are so helpful 🥰

Came to the restaurant here about 4 years ago and had a really nice meal and thought the place had a lovely atmosphere. We went again recently for a Friday steak night and wouldn't come back again. The steak was very overdone, they didn't have any prosecco or sparkling wine and they got part of our order wrong. The place smelled damp and just not very comfortable. Extremely quiet with no atmosphere. The whole place needs a revamp! It's a shame as it has so much potential.

Excellent spot for coffee. Highly recommended.

We took the brewery tour. Great tour of a working brewery. The food after was lovely and the beer was great. Customer service was excellent and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be going again.

In booking after noon tea, for a party of 6 people. Very clean and friendly staff, had a toastie sandwich and cup of tea. First time in Hilden Brewery, going to book tour, and Friday night Steak night and its dog friendly aswel

Great food and service, all in one lovely, cosy spot. A hidden gem!

These tours should stop until they clean the premises and the staff giving the tour. I drink their products and was looking forward to the experience but this was a disaster. The place was filthy tbh. I went to Hinch Distillery after my visit this week and it was sparklingly clean, staff in branded clothing and a very enjoyable experience. Unfortunately can’t say the same for this tour. At £25 plus booking fee he should have been on time, not a half an hour late btw.

Food is always amazing as are the staff best steak I've had in years and doesn't break the bank!

Great food and beer. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The courtyard was a real sun trap. Perfect!

We went here as husband wanted to try beer and had lunch l thought the stew was good but the service was lacklustre waited ages for drinks and for the table to be cleared after eating ( still not done when we were there) as waitress / server more interested in looking at phone probably would have had desert but couldn't be bothered

Very nice quiet spot. Great staff, superb cheese and ham toasties. Definitely will be back when passing again

Passed by on several occasions and eventually made it, so glad we did. Probably the best coffee we have ever had , beautiful surroundings friendly and helpful staff. If you're in Lisburn you have got to find this place..we will never walk past Hilden Brewery without calling for coffee and a scone..

Very pleasant girl served us.Christmas panini was beautiful will be back.

Coffee at Hilden Brewery is a great hidden gem to go for lunch or just coffee and a scone. The staff are really helpful and the food is great. Once you drive through the gate, it feels as if you're in the countryside. A table beside the wood burner is the cosiest place to be! I loved their afternoon tea too.

Cute hidden cafe! Nice service.

Dream wedding achieved thanks to these lovely people. I couldn't believe my luck when I found out Hilden could host weddings and even better I could actually get married in the teepees! We were organising our wedding during the time of cocud, and Julie from Hilden kept us up to date on all the changing regulations. Julie was so flexible and helpful she made it easy to imagine how we could have the wedding we want regardless of the restrictions. Then came the actual day! Julie and the team were there at every step to help out on what was the hottest day of the year! From helping to put flowers out to checking in with us throughout the day! I will forever be grateful to this team for helping me have the fairytale Boho wedding I wanted. Would highly recommend!

Great coffee so nice and lovely gardens to sit in as well

Currently only open 09.00-14.00 daily for coffee and tray bakes. Restaurant not expected to open for some weeks. Coffee good and tray bakes excellent. Can now eat in or sit in the garden. They expect to make improvements to the garden which is overdue.

I've used the Tap Room takeaway service few times during lockdown and it is fabulous. I can't wait to try the sit in service once restrictions are lifted - the click and collect service was really easy and the food amazing!

I recently used the take away service to surprise my parents during lockdown with a meal from the Hilden Brewery as they've always enjoyed visiting the restaurant. Frances was super helpful in getting everything arranged and my parents loved it all - in fact 10/10 for the steak and ale pie was given. Great job all round. Looking forward to visiting on person again soon.

Very friendly courteous staff. Lovely food. Ps beers not bad either.

Lovely dining experience at Hilden Brewery. Special occasion for our weddjng anniversary. The food was delicious...."the best meal ever" according to my husband! I am Vegan, and the food was lovely. Hilden Brewery has always been a favourite of ours. Ambiance and decor warm and welcoming, the staff are professional but friendly. We will always be back!

A special lunch for 4 today and we were not sure what we would find post COVID but it was superb. The restaurant has been renovated and restyled. Very classy and safely laid out with lots of space.We were warmly welcomed for our pre-booked table. Staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful; The beer is superb (as usual) and the food was excellent - some small plates of nibbles were huge portions that tasted wonderful followed by a mix of steak, pork and hake. All immaculately cooked, in very large portions with very high quality ingredients Wonderful classy venue

Food is amazing and they brew their own beer. Highly recommend you visit here, you won't be disappointed. Brought home a bottle of their Belfast Blonde for my shelf.

Very badly signposted and as difficult to find (the entrance) - inside the grounds - as outside - in Hilden.The whole "Estate" seems run-down - and the many "confusing" buildings would all need a "lick of paint"!It took me a full five minutes after parking - to find the Restaurant Entrance. It's uninspiring and unattractive - and looks more life a Barn Entrance.However, it's a different story inside. The Restaurant is attractive in a rustic "kind of way". The spacing of tables is generous and distancing was easily maintained. I felt safe. Hygiene was good but tables didn't have individual hand cleansers.I was warmly welcomed and seated immediately I entered. I had only to order a drink - as I had chosen my Main dish and Desert - from the online menu - and had emailed this to the Restaurant - the previous day - as requested. A good idea - to obviate the need to handle a Menu.My wait time on my meal, however, was no quicker than if I had chosen it after arrival; reasonable, at around fifteen minutes.My Pork Belly, Champ and broccoli was attractively presented and was nicely cooked. It was tasty - but charged at £18:00 - whereas the online Menu stated £11.I didn't notice the discrepancy until I sat down to write this review.When I 'phoned, I was informed that the Facebook Page Menu was out-of-date and that they hadn't updated their own website since opening again after "Lockdown"!No apology and no offer of a refund!My Dessert, Rhubarb & Blueberry Crumble and Custard was nicely presented and tasty - but there was far more blueberry than rhubarb; the rhubarb was hard to identify.The small jug of custard was "mingy" and insufficient. If a waitress had returned to ask me if everything was ok (as they had done after my Main) - I would have asked for more!However, all staff were friendly and cheerful - and the atmosphere was homely.With the Government £10:00 off per person, the price of my lunch was reasonable (£15:75).It's unlikely that I'll be back, though.

Lovely venue friendly staff but unfortunately very poor food. The Hake was way over cooked and salted, the gnocchi had so much flour in it, that it was more like garlic bread. The pork belly was also way over cooked and very tough, too much salt and dry mash. The scallops were nice. It's been a while since I have not finished a meal in a restaurant but sadly on this occasion I could not finish the meal. At £15 and £18 for each dish I expect much better. I explained my issues with the food to the staff and to their credit they offered free desert and coffee but on this occasion I declined.

Food is always hearty and a homely feel. Friendly staff that always cater for all your needs. I would always take friends for a meal. Highly recommend

Visited as a party of four. We were welcomed by a very pleasant waitress and seated immediately. Drinks orders were taken and we were soon sampling some fine ale. We’d pre-ordered our food and it was first class, my choice was seafood chowder for starter and feather blade of beef which had been slow cooked on mash with roasted veg, it was excellent. The bill was no shock and worked out at about £27:50 with drinks ( men had two) Definitely worth a visit ;-)

Just back from a fantastic meal. The restaurant is very safely set up. The staff are great and every course delicious. Between the six of us we covered quite a lot of the menu, every dish was beautifully presented, and everyone commented on how enjoyable their meal was. A hidden gem which you really should try

Over COVID have ordered through all the menu each week as lockdown treat. I have not been disappointed. Absolutely delicious and mouth watering. Top marks for click and collect. Just open your boot and drive on. Thank you from all our family. Top class

The best place to grab a pint in all of Ireland. The oldest family owned, craft brewery on the island. Some of the best beer in Ireland, and definitely the best service. Highly recommend a visit.

Hilden Inn provides carry out meals ordered online click and collect or delivered to home. Ordered meal over Easter period and I was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious and mouth watering . Click and collect very easy. Highly recommended😀

Went to the Hilden brew cut along story short half the home made ales & beer was out of stock.And the table service was terrible. Delivering (bring) the wrong food to the table which we did not order and arguing with me that it was our fault.Shame.Never going there again.

After visiting over Christmas we decided to head back for Valentine’s Day. Exceptional food again, very well put together menu and the service was outstanding. So friendly and welcoming, lovely romantic atmosphere sat by the fire and a dessert tray to die for!

I brought friends here for what I thought would be a pleasant New Year’s Eve and a good meal but I was very disappointed. Service was slow, we had to send the initial breads back as they seemed slightly frozen, and there was no indication that this was a celebratory evening. The staff was pleasant enough and the food improved but I would not return as I would be afraid of a repetition.

We had my husbands parents visiting just after Christmas, decided to treat the whole family to a meal out and couldn’t think of anywhere better. Consistently excellent service and the food was phenomenal! My husband had the duck and it was just cooked to perfection. Fantastic value for money, will definitely be back!

Booked for New Years Eve as we didn’t want to be out at a full function. Well what a choice. The food was amazing. The staff were great and we had a really excellent and exceedingly well priced meal. Will definitely be back in the very near future . Highly recommend

We celebrated our Grandmother’s 100th birthday at the Hilden Brewery and the team made it a night to remember.

Wow where to start, from we arrived the staff made us feel unwelcome and unwanted. From starter to main meal was a whole 7 minutes. The food was,at best, luke warm, basicly cold food. Yes we were a party of 24 but we're a large family. The restaurant was empty apart a couple of tables so when they refused to serve alcohol for half an hour while they "got us sorted" was a bit strange. My mother and father in law wanted some wine with their meal, which most people do, and they weren't able to order a bottle until my wife intervened and got them a wine list. She had to tell a member of staff that her parents wanted wine with their meal so could they please serve them. Under staffed, but saying that the 2 female staff were excellent. Full credit to them. However, the owners should hang their heads in shame. When we questioned the £58 service charge they had added to the bill I was personally approached by the owner and interrogated as to why we didn't pay it. We always leave a tip but it's up to us what we pay based upon service( which was awful). Never be back! Cold room with no atmosphere. Over-priced cold food, service without a smile, much better value restaurants close by in Lisburn. Worst Xmas dinner we have ever been to.

The room was so cold we could not take off our coats. The radiator was on but with broken window above it there was no heat coming near us. The starter and main course food was luke warm and the staff only seemed interested in bringing drink to the table. No atmosphere in the place and not even background music was playing.

We held our work Christmas do in the Tap Rooms. Beautiful surroundings and setting for our meal. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The food was the highlight of the evening. Very high quality and certainly above standard Christmas fare one often gets at this time of the year. The quality of the beer was fantastic and very tasty. Great range of local brews. Small criticism would be the speed of service but this is clearly not a standard bar/hotel that attempts to ply its patrons with drink!!! Definitely worth a visit perhaps on a quieter weekend or evening to really enjoy the unique experience.

A last minute decision to try The Tap Room and one we certainly didn’t regret!! We were seated beside the fire the atmosphere was cosy on a cold Saturday November evening. We went straight to mains I had the special...steak and ale pie with creamy champ and roasted veg. My husband had the duck...both excellent meals really awesome flavours. I don’t normally do dessert but couldn’t say no the the apple rhubarb crumble and sticky toffee for my husband. All in all a very pleasant evening with great food and very attentive staff.

I visited with the Belfast Vegan Supper Group in November 2019. The vegetarian/vegan menu had a good few things on it but unfortunately only 1 vegan dessert (not a major complaint though). Some people opted for the soup starter and others had the orzo - both delicious. The chef offered to make some of the vegetarian mains into vegan mains which suited us perfectly. We had a variety of the mains including gnocchi, tagliatelle, roasted potatoes and Tofu and chickpea & quinoa salad. All very good and tasty but a little on the small side for some people’s taste. However my Gnocchi was perfect and I’ve always been a fan of quality over quantity. The waitress was helpful but wasn’t very familiar with the vegetarian menu. The restaurant was a little cold which isn’t surprising considering the age of the building. I will be back to try more things and I’ll be spreading the word about those vegan options.

I absolutely love this place. Staff are always friendly. Lovely atmosphere and the food is DELICIOUS. I'm vegetarian and really appreciate having a full menu available with a wide range of choices. I'd eat there every night of the week if I could afford to. My only improvement would be having better signage out front and lighting to guide people in as it can be hard to spot in the dark (just keep an eye out for the big curved white wall. That's it!)

Excellent beer on tap or bottled. Definitely go taste it! I was here a few times, one was for a wedding, and the food was just delicious. If you're planning an event check them out. The outdoor tent was just beautiful and the food made the night even better.

The food was very good and plentyful, so much so that we couldn't manage a dessert. The staff were very attentive without being overbearing.

Wow! Best food we have had in Ireland, maybe the whole of the UK. We had a hard time finding it, but wow!!! The ambiance was spot on and the food was delicious. I’m doing low carb and the chef was extremely considerate of my dietary needs. There was only one waitress, it’s not a big place so book ahead of you can, but she did a great job! I can not recommend this place enough!

First of all I booked online for lunch on a mid-week day. After 2 days I still hadn't received a confirmation so I phoned but the 2 listed numbers had only answering machines. I left a message and someone got back to me later.

This was a lovely family retirement celebration which was beautifully handled by the staff at the tap rooms. Food, service, atmosphere and staff were absolutely excellent. A special mention for the hake too!

No consideration for families with children living a few feet away when the music is as loud as an outdoor concert and only 70 feet away from our homes playing from afternoon to stupid oclock!!

My partner and I dinned here this evening for a belated birthday meal. We were surprised at how quiet the place was on arrival (only 2 other tables and ourselves) and the question is why? We could not fault the service, quality of food and decor. Fresh produce cooked to perfection, fast and efficient service with the waitress even signing happy birthday to my partner at the end. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Called in today and were greeted by a friendly, attentive waitress who could not do enough for us. The food was delicious and we were all very impressed. Will return soon!

Food Is lovely here, really nice beer. Had a great time and nice staff. Been here a few times now as it is in a lively setting hidden away just outside of Belfast. The beer is brewed at the Hilden Brewery so it is available on tap and in bottles...great variety too.

A beautiful venue with unique setting. I have visited both as a guest and wedding supplier and this venue is unlike any other.if you are looking for a wedding venue outside the Belfast Area that is unique and bespoke, this venue ticks the boxes, had friendly and accommodating staff, and has excellent communication with your suppliers like myself

Visited for the first time last month with my family. Loved the setting, can imagine why people have their wedding reception here. We got the bread and dips to start which were lovely! The sirloin steak and chips were amazing and great value as it was a special. Everyone was happy with their meals, the only thing was my sister ordered chips as a side and the waitress claimed she hadn't. We did have enough in the end so it didn't matter that much. I'd definitely go back again anyway!

Wife & I were in the Lisburn area but wanted to avoid the usual town centre traffic, so for the first time picked the Tap Room for lunch. Started with a tasty selection of breads, olives & dips. Wife had steak & ale pie, and crisp pork belly for me. Both were well cooked and presented, and good value. Only downside was that I was driving and so couldn’t sample the brewery’s craft beers. Upside of that is the excuse to pay a repeat visit, with the wife driving next time!

Looking for something different yet not putting your dinning experience at risk is always the fine line we tread when going out for dinner. But new isn't always good; indeed traditional cuisine prepared with quality produce and served in a refreshing way is probably what we want. Cue the Tap Room at The Hilden Brewery. Easily found just off the Belfast Road heading into Lisburn is a great venue with a fantastic atmosphere.

Love a quiet Saturday at the Tap room. Fire roaring friendly staff and great food. Special mention for the seafood chowder loaded with fish. And not forgetting the desert apple pie delicious

Another excellent lunch at the Tap Room, the food is amazing, every course was perfect and also exceptional service from Amy.

We booked a wee dinner date to break up January and we were not disappointed.

We had the most amazing meal. We shared a platter of fillet steak, steak pie, salad, veg and mushrooms. I have never had a steak like it was unbelievable cooked to perfection tender succulent to die for. Pie unreal sides perfect. We had the most sauvignon blanc. To top it all the service was given by a young lady Amy remembered us from a prior drop in. Amy gave us unbelievable service, she is professional, attentive and a natural. We visited for a wedding venue. And this is it. Thank you Team Tap Room

Having had a nice meal at the Tap Room recently we booked a table to take friends for a Christmas meal. The service was fine, turkey and ham meal very average and slightly disappointing. However I have to say we found the live music most intrusive, loud, and we were unable to carry on a conversation. Some Christmas music in the background would have been much more appropriate.

Had a lovely lunch here today with my daughter. Charming place, food was really good . Girl who servied us was very chatty & friendly . Well worth a visit

Went for Christmas Dinner with my company. The place is very nice,food delucious. After the dinner we had a party with music and i had a good time

I had two visits to the Tap Room in fairly quick session, the first time with my other half and the second time with friends. It would not have been my choice for the second trip, as it was pretty rubbish the first time, but hey ho it wasn’t up to me.

Op de bonnefooi naar Lisbum gereisd. Fietstocht vanuit Belfast ging niet door. Helaas was de meesterbrouwer door omstandigheden niet aanwezig. Heb wel hier kunnen genieten van een heerlijke lunch met hun eigen bieren.

Went for a meal with some friends recently.It was early in the evening and not many

first visit with a friend for lunch, more signs needed to direct us to the Tap room, lovely restaurant, really nice decor, food really tasty, portion size excellent, slight disappointed with limited choice for dessert which we declined, only one member of staff working and she was kept pretty busy! Despite a few negatives we will return and also hope to sample The Hilden Brewery and Music festival!

Visited the Tap Room in June 2018 for lunch with some friends. Lovely setting and friendly staff but painfully slow service and tiny portions (both starters and main courses) ruined what could have been at great review. Just an extra member of staff and some extra food on the plate would have changed my review to at least 4 or even 5 out of 5. I would hope to go back and give a better review next time.

Went for lunch and it was great, had the soup and burger with smoked cheese and prosciutto. Service was great and food was really nice. Once we finished lunch we were able to move outside and have a few more drinks before getting the train back to Belfast

We had our wedding party at the tap room. They were very accommodating on the day and before to get ready. Loved the feel of the place and the food was awesome! (A lot of guests told us that their meal was tasty).

Beautiful venue and amazing food. Some pretty decent craft brews as well.

Visited the Tap Room at Hilden Brewery for the first time last night for dinner. The staff were very attentive, pleasant and polite. Ordered off the a la carte menu and the meal was first class. My husband had the sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection and I had the sea bass which didn't disappoint either. Good selection of starters and the sweet menu was delicious. Definitely a hidden gem of a restaurant in Lisburn will definitely be back .

Lovely restaurant....really cosy and the food was amazing...had the shared platter....the meat was melt in the mouth ....ill be back

Venue is brilliant. Particularly in the sun! Service was slow but they were very helpful. Food was just okay - burger was dry and tasted like it had been frozen before.

This is a little gem just twenty minutes by train from Belfast city centre. The setting is beautiful with a large courtyard and pretty gardens. We went for the bottomless brunch and the food was excellent and came with unlimited prosecco or beer. The service was great and they were happy for us to hang about and finish our beers in the garden. We will definitely be back!

Have heard good reviews about this place so my husband and I called in today for some lunch. Good food with scrumptious desserts. Pleasant service too from our server Julie who was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely return.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon with family of five including two kids.

Group of us Went out for mothers days and won't be going back, table service awful, waitresses took too long between starters and main course, it's was that bad we ended up not taking dessert.. Took too long to come clear the dishes away only 3 tables in the place, so it wasn't to busy..

My Daughter had given me a voucher for my birthday last May which had expired some 3mths ago. I rang them up and explained about the voucher and asked them would they still honour it , not a problem was the reply so we booked a table last night for 4 people and I can only say that it was one of the nicest meals we have had in a long while. The restaurant was comfortable and the staff friendly and very courteous. I we definitely will be back again.

This is the third time we've dined in hilden brewery and it will not be the last! We normally don't write trip advisor reviews on restaurants because our expectations are so high few places would merit 5*. After our last meal I was shocked to see a few poor reviews over Christmas. I think hilden does intimate dining best and I wouldn't be put off that larger parties didn't rate it quite so highly. The setting is quaint, the food is top quality local produce, the meals are traditional at its best and the service is so personal you feel like a movie star. As for the portion sizes; I've never been able to finish a meal in hilden. The price of a meal is average for a meal in any restaurant. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend hilden to my family and friends and we cannot wait for our next excuse to go back!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon to try the bottomless brunch. We were met on arrival my a very pleasant young waitress who showed us to our seats. We both had 2 courses and enjoyed a copious amount of beer. The waitress even provided us with 2 pitchers as we where getting through it that quickly which was a pleasant surprise as I thought it was going to be gimmicky I was so wrong !! The food was incredible !!

We usually take visiting guests here as we live locally. The standard has always been first-class with a separate (and extensive) vegetarian menu, helpful and attentive staff and a great selection of the brewery's finest beers.

Great food and very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommend it

On Sunday 22nd we arrived at this restaurant with brother and sister in law, the venue had been recommended to them by a friend.
