The Two Brewers in Mendip

Great family pub, good food at a reasonable price

We visited the Brewer Fayre in Street today, We were very pleased at the level of service, we received. We were greeted by a young man called Jane, he was very courteous and took us to our table. He told us we had to order our food and drink at the bar, he said if we needed any help to call him. My partner went to the bar and ordered our starter and main meal, we were served by a pleasant lady called Mechelle, we had several coupons which gave us free starters and 50% off our main meal. She dealt with the order in a professional manner. We waited several minutes before the starter came and was asked twice if everything was fine. Our starter was good and plentiful. The main meal Plaice and chips was piping hot and I must say was lovely. We use Brewers Fayre quite often mainly in Bristol but other places we visit. This is the best one we visitedand the staff were a credit to Brewers Fayre.

Something for everyone and reasonable price. Order at the bar, waitress service to the table and then pay at the bar at the end.

Had visitor waited for food that never came. Embarrassing but they took full price for a drink we had. Too late to go anywhere else. PR needs to be addressed review to authorities.

Typical pub food but ok. Reasonable prices, good service. Wouldn't really be my first choice of food place if I had to choose where to visit again.

This is a place if I have friends to take out I know I will get good meals every time. The menu very basic but has a good variation. As regards to steak I myself very rarely have when out. As it is very expensive and you will always have the odd one a bit chewy and that spoils your meal .staff very friendly .but would agree sometimes needs another one behind bar Most reasonable priced meals in area . Have been going there for many years and at the moment find no reason to stop

Visited here on a lunch time. It was fairly busy but most people had already eaten. Food took a long time to come out. We all had lasagne so only had to be warmed up. The children’s portion was half the size it used to be which left my daughter still very hungry. The granary bread that came with it was so small it was embarrassing. Used to come with a lovely chunk of bread. The lady then came to clear our table. We spoke to her & she ignored us. Didn’t make any eye contact or speak to us. Guessing she was the new owner as she wasn’t in uniform & was behind the bar (hadn’t seen her before). Won’t be rushing back.

Sunday lunch at the Two Brewers .Food tasted and looked nice, But £11.50 for one small slice of Lamb is a joke add to that £3 for a small bowel of cauliflower cheese , just seems to be a ripe off . Mentioned my complaint to waitress got no reaction or follow up. Sat with empty plates for 15 mins , while waitress worked around us , decided to leave, waited to pay as bar person was busy wrapping cutlery, voiced our concerns, was informed that she would have to speak to her manager

Will not be returning Miserable lady behind bar who just grunted , no hello or nothing Only a handful of meals on menu, served cold and over half hour wait in an empty pub Food was awful, so definitely not returning or recommending

Got to hand it to the new guys, it’s early days but things are looking up. It’s always been a popular pub but in the last few years it’s been a bit tired but with Sunday Roast back instated and new dishes on the menu with a very sociable and friendly manager with great interesting ideas things are on the way up. This week end was really good with a rugby crowd in on Saturday plus a fun quiz night on Sunday you can’t knock it! Well done guys!

Under new management and will be refurbished in coming months but you have to give them a chance. Always get a warm welcome which is nice. New year evening meal and boy did we have a feed! Really good potatoe skins and salad and really thick homemade tomatoe soup for starters. Followed by superb buttered chicken curry, alongside great Lasagne, really tasty meals! Smaller menu than in the past but this is only temporary and the quality has much improved. Hopefully the upward trend will continue in coming months.

First visit since the change of hands.Atmosphere seemed different when we walked in,not many people generally in the pub! Food still very good even though menu has now been split between lunch and evening,not so much choice anymore! Very disappointed "no omelettes" on the evening menu,they were absolutely superb! Overall an OK experience still,so we will be back but maybe not so often now!

First and LAST time visiting. Customer service appalling. Overcharged for drinks. Food never arrived after 1 hour 15 minutes. Would definitely NOT recommend. Shame this is how local customers are treated.

Nice atmosphere, cosy restaurant, good service, menu doesn't really change, but the choices are adequate, food served nice and hot; thank you for another good meal.

We were staying with relatives who live near Street. They suggested we all go to this pub on a Sunday evening for a meal. It was very cosy inside with no fruit machines or background music which for 2 of us with hearing problems was good. The Staff were friendly and helpful. Whilst they did not have a big range of beers or ciders what they did have was fine for us. The pub menu gave you a good range of meals at a reasonable price. Most main meals were around the £7 to £8 with steak around the £12 mark. Portions were a good size. We were all pleased with our meals/desserts and at the end of the day ended up with a bill for under £70 for 4 of us including drinks! We all found the pub to be very relaxing. Certainly I would have no hesitation in going back there again if we are in the area. If a stranger to Street you may need your Sat Nav to find it!.

We came here for a family meal and had a good evening. With no music it was quiet enough to have decent conversation. The menu is traditional pub food with added specials on the board and was nice, we all enjoyed it.

This restaurant is ideal for children ,but it is a restricted menu.It can get very busy at certain times,and tables not very clean.Left sticky.The Bear used to be a friendly restaurant.We tried a visit agsin recently .Never again.

I visited this pub for lunch on a weekday with my wife and 4 year old son.

No hay música! ! Encantador a sentarnos a no hay comida buena música y comida razonable de precio, personal amable, como siempre, no nos quedamos en el hotel, cenamos allí, pero desde fuera las habitaciones parecen probar buenos viajeros

Si prefiere un pub tradicional, sin música o máquinas de juegos, etc., entonces este es el lugar para ti. Recientemente tuvimos una estancia de 2 noches en la calle y visitar los dos cerveceros ambas noches. Tuve el chili y mi esposa tenía el pastel de carne de Ohio. Ambos disfrutamos de nuestra comida y mi esposa tenía incluso el mismo de nuevo la noche siguiente. Me decidí a la carne en rojo pastel vino preguntando si la elección fue como algunos pubs parece usar carne mala o grasos. No me decepcionó ya que era realmente bueno. El personal era amable y el servicio era bueno a pesar de ser una fiesta familiar la segunda noche. El jefe fue agradable también.

What can go wrong with ham, egg and chips? Well quite a lot. Fried eggs were brown and crispy, ham was burnt on one side and so overcooked you couldn't even cut it, mushrooms were dry and shrivelled. Landlords response was 'that's how we always cook it here'. It was taken off the bill though but we won't be returning.

Extremely disappointed with our trip to the two Brewers today. We were approached by the landlord in the car park demanding why we were here.. I explained we were here to eat. Once inside the landlord appeared again at our table and was as equally rude, he wouldn't listen as to why I felt he had addressed us rudely and that his tone isn't very welcoming. He argued Infront of other customers and kept interrupting our lunch.Iv made it clear we will not be returning.

Personally I wouldn't even give this 1 star. Not worth a step through the door food was not home cooked and the ham was like something they just popped to the supermarket to get. The staff are not the most welcoming either. All in all not a nice experience and a waste of money.

Have popped in to this pub over the years for a drink under various management and has always been so-so. Decided to have a family meal as was recommended by a friend but shouldn't have bothered. The pub prides themselves on having no music so people can converse but on entering the building you could hear a pin drop as everyone stared at someone coming in to disrupt the silence. Complete lack of atmosphere.There slogan was "We don't serve fast food but we serve GOOD food as fast as we can". What a joke! We ordered Chicken Tikka from the 'specials' which was clearly a tinned meal that had just been heated up to nuclear temperatures with not a single fresh ingredient. Almost inedible!It might well be a nice local pub for a quick pint but save your money if you want to eat and head to the high street to one of the other restaurants.

Abrupt and rude welcome by the owner. We were a group of nine.We had to find our own menus and write are own order and take it to the bar staff who have zero customer service. Food basic and over cooked. Save your money and don't bother. I didn't realise operations like this still existed.

Great Service, Great Food and generally speedy service. it fits the bill for what I need with good old fashioned meals.... happy eatings..

We like the friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced menu, no loud music! My meal was good but too much salt!

I had probably one of the worst meals I have ever eaten. The Cajun chicken tasted of rubber and the texture wasn't any different!I informed the waitress of my disappointment. Yet when I went to discuss payment she and another member of staff were aggressive and in no way apologetic. I refused to pay for the meal it was that bad.I have eaten here a few times and it has always been acceptable but nothing special. I will now never enter these premises whilst under this management.

Had the same issue as most people with this pub. Fairly average food with an very impolite and irate landlord who can't understand that kids make a mess. He aggressively confronted my partner and leaned on her car complaining that we made to much mess. (No bins provided for rubbish either) Luckily for him I left slightly earlier on foot. NOT CHILD FRIENDLY!!

Visited with friends for an evening meal, quality of food not as good as previous visits.Cajun chicken was rubbery, staff not very welcoming.

Visit here regularly. Not a huge selection of food but we always get the same thing anyway - lasagne and chips! A lovely traditional pub with a nice outdoor area. Very reasonably priced.

Good menu & cooked to order meals. Need to book at peak times. Staff are friendly & will do their best to accommodate groups who want to eat at last minute.

Been here many times, the food is always good although I've stopped having the steak now after last time when it was chewy and inedible and more like rump than sirloin, after complaining(politely and discreetly) I had to really push to get any apology or discount, they finally offered the dessert half price but I didn't feel I really made up for the £10+ inedible sirloin steak.The lasagna is really very good and a decent sized portion and I generally stick with that now as I know what I'm getting and there's not too much that can go wrong with a lasagna.All in all a decent place with good food but I now avoid the steak because it can be an expensive mistake to make if it is unedible with little willingness from their part to put things right.

I have visited and eaten at the Two Brewers several times. It has always in the past been very good.. until Saturday 13th AUGUST. I visited with my sister who was staying for the weekend. The lady behind the bar did not seem to know what she was doing, she took our drinks order o.k. but when we asked to order a bottle of wine, she somehow got rather confused !!We placed our food order then sat at our reserved table. A group then arrived and sat at the table opposite, a gentleman possibly the owner/manager informed them there was a wait of up to an hour for food. We were not told this. Twice the waitresses brought food to our table that we had not ordered and seemed confused when we informed them it was not ours. They wandered around the dining room looking somewhat at a loss as what to do with the food.Our food arrived after 30 minutes, (better than we had expected) and was very good, as always. Nobody bothered to visit our table and ask if everything was o.k. with our meal, something I feel should always be done.The large group at a table opposite had finished their meal and after 30 minutes the dirty dishes had not been collected. I saw a customer from the table collect all the dirty dishes and pile them up at the end of the table herself. They stayed there for the rest of the evening.When I went to the bar to pay for the evening, our dirty dishes were also still on the table. We had finished eating 25 minutes earlier.Yes it was busy but the tables had been reserved so the management knew how many customers were going to eat, and should have made arrangements to bring in extra staff for the evening. Possible my last visit to the Two Brewers.

Excellent food & service ....well worth a visit ....if you like home cooked food this the place to go

Seems to have gone down hill recently. Unfriendly man behind the bar, very rude to customers. Avoid if you want to have a nice time

I stayed on my own for a Friday and Saturday night. I dined in the pub the first evening and had breakfast on both Sat and Sun. I have to say that as a solo female traveller I found the staff, especially Kate (who dealt with everything in the place from what I witnessed) to be extremely helpful, friendly and competent. The food was good. The accommodation very comfortable, with everything I needed to hand. The rooms and the pub were very clean too :). I really enjoyed my stay! Thank you Kate and her staff of young women!!

A first class pub serving above average pub food. A reasonable or selection of ales and a huge menu plus specials. Service was timely - altogether a good stop for lunch.

Very rude staff nice food. Manager doesn't seem to appreciate nice customers and forgets what business he is in. If you don't give good service and manners give up

No big screen telly or canned music, no corporate crockery and cutlery, and no "Sunday Lunch." The owner-run pub was busy when we visited, and ran out of one of the specials about 20 minutes after we arrived at 13:00.The menu offers a wide choice of sandwiches, toasties and baps; jacket potatoes and ploughmans; all-day breakfast and the usual pub offerings like fish & chips, steak, lasagne, chili con carne, a pasta dish and a pie. Specials included garlic chicken breast, steak and ale pie and chicken tikka. Our party was pleased with the standard of the food. The garlic chicken was tasty and not dried out, the lasagne was eaten with enjoyment, whilst the fish got the thumbs up for the crispy batter and moist fish. Portions were generous. The bill for 6, including coffee, was £62. (The filter coffee was the weakest aspect of the offering.)They could have done with another member of staff: we drank our coffee amidst the plates and remains of our lunch because they hadn't been cleared. The owner was keeping a watchful eye and sharing in the serving, taking orders, etc., but an extra pair of hands was needed.The Two Brewers serves Courage, St Austell and a rolling choice of "guest" real ales. The blackboard also displays the wines of the month.A nice place.

We have eaten here twice this week. Would describe the food as good pub grub.Speciality Ohio Pie is delicious but was not available today (Monday) so has the plaice instead. Very tasty. Nothing too much trouble. Charming barmaid (Spanish?) provided ice bucket to keep the white wine cold.No background music...wonderful!Simple menu, clean premises, good car park, very good value for money. Just what it says it provides. Well done!

A very nice pub restaurant,good price range,always busy which speaks for itself. Good varied menu which has not changed for ages which also speaks for itself. Have not had a bad meal thereStaff very good

Good food and menu although standard pub grub you will find something, not the biggest choice but tasty and good portions.The thing letting the pub down was the man that spoke to us in the bar area, I think he must be the owner.I've never encountered someone that is so rude to customers as him.As long as he isn't there you'll have a lovely time. I understand from the argument he insisted on having as we left about a trivial matter he has been there a long time, we won't be going back to be insulted. I'd suggest you sell up and move on while you can.

Pretty standard pub grub, nothing special about the menu. Always clean and tidy and reasonably priced, just a bit boring.

We ate here for a Christmas get together and as always I wasn't disappointed. The menu is simple but always a good standard of homemade food. The wait staff were friendly and jovial and made us feel very welcome they cater to all our needs.

This pub does not have the modern trappings of TV's, piped music etc - hurray ! Do not be pressurised into taking them - there are still plenty of us that like a drink & meal without having to struggle to speak/be heard over football matches. Plenty of choices on the menu: food was served timely, and was excellent.

We met friends here who were eating there and recommended it and all I can say it they were so right! We only had lunch but it was excellent and will be visiting again when in street, a great pub atmosphere with really good home made food

Been here on a few occasions for dinner. Sensibly priced, home cooked food and good service. Always a varied menu that has something for everyone and the drinks variety is good too.

You know what you are going to get here. Tasty food, good sized portions.Reasonable pricing. A small specials board. Friendly owner. Been going to this local pub for years and will continue doing so.....yummy!

Nice foodSuperb Apple pieGreat choice and service Arrived @ 13:55 kitchen due to close @ 14:00: still happy to take my order

Arrived at 1.55 - last orders for food - 2.00. Ohio Meat Pie was good as was Rump steak and chips. Closes at 3.00 for the afternoon. Very pleasant. Good floral displays at front and side of pub.

friendly pub off the high st street, good food good choice of real ales lagers and ciders, beer garden, large car park, friendly staff.

I had the blt bad was lovely generous of portions and were friendly and welcoming to my family thanks for good food

Every meal at the Two Brewer's is spot on perfectly served. The food is the best in the area at very good prices. My Personal favourite and recommendation is the steak & ale pie from the special's board. The accommodation is of modern standards yet set in old lias stone cottage. Spotlessly clean accommodation again at very good prices. Friendly, helpful and welcoming landlord and staff with good Knowledge of the local area. 10/10

We love that there is no music playing so can have a good chat with friends whilst either eating or just having a drink or two ,Food is always good & served well cooked & presented within a good time frame .The host Richard is always friendly ,The place has a lovely ambience .We ate there on Friday night at 6:30pm ,Always best to prebook we find .

I hope this restaurant can pick up again, it does have a nice atmosphere, serves real ale and changes the choice regularly, the waiters are efficient, the food all comes out together for 1 table. it just doesn't have the ol' quality. I don't like microwaved pastry, and that's what I got, it's not how it should be in a restaurant, the jacket potatoe had that horrid re-heated taste, and there were no vegetables available at all - in winter, only lettuce leaves and tasteless tomatoe, not even the humble pea. We live locally and have always enjoyed going here, they really need to address the kitchen problems. Please!

The steak and ale pie was great - washed down with a couple of pints of Bombardier - we went on a Thursday and it was packed - so I think booking is essential

Went for a meal with friends, really enjoyed the food and the service was prompt. Good atmosphere altogether.

Food cold , meat that my companion was served was cooked to her liking but was of extremly poor quality ,

Great ambience traditional pub food. The portion sizes are enormous and everything is home made wonderful tasting food

Have visited this genuine style pub for lunch on several occasions as the food is excellent quality and real value for money. The specials and desserts are very appetising. It is one of the old style pubs without games machines and music so at least a conversation can be carried out in peace,Also the staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Shall be returning here again.

Food is good honest pub food,don't expect gourmet food but what you get is good value for money food.The service is excellent.

We had pre-booked a table for six for lunch, very good service and didn't wait long for the food.Food come out hot and well presented.Deserts were were very yummy.Will visit again next time we are in somerset.

Came here for an early evening meal. It was recommended by a neighbour of my sons.We were not dissapointed I had the Ohio pie and son had the pie from the special board.Excelent food and service. Good value for money and some nice well kept local ales as well.will definitely return.

At last we have found a pub, that serves very fresh and local excellent food, and is reasonably priced. But the gem of this place is the Landlord and his attitude to his staff and customers AND there is no piped music or clanging of fruit machines to spoil the ambience of the place. Tucked away this is a country pub hidden in the town centre of Street. Plenty of parking. No carvery but the menu is consistent with daily specials. This is one place where I am confident that however many times you visit or recommend the standards will never faulter. Take advantage of their voucher scheme as it makes a great present.Thank goodness there is still old fashioned service and values to be found.

My wife and I usually pop in to this pub for a meal when visiting relatives living in the Street area. On previous occasions, the food has been excellent. However, we were extremely disappointed with the food served on our last visit.They are now serving meals using a new type of frilly "lettuce" which is extremely bulky. When my wife's meal arrived, she said, "I can't possibly eat all that". She then found out that underneath the grilled vegetables was a huge piece of these leaves taking up half the plate and standing about two inches high. This gave an untrue impression that a larger meal was being served than was actually the case.My meal, a cheese, prawn & mushroom omelette, also had a large piece of this strange vegetation, but my main complaint with the meal was the fact that there were hardly any prawns, only a few tiny pieces of mushroom and I was unable to taste even a hint of cheese. Also, I strongly suspect that the eggs were not free range - totally unacceptable.I may return to the pub at some point in the future for two reasons. The real ale is always in superb condition and there is no "musak" playing in the pub. If I do return I will not be so forgiving and will expect to get better value for money than on my last visit.

We always go to this pub if its a family meal with our kids as the menu is the same and they do daily specials. The pub has a lovely owner and staff. The best place to go for something hearty and gaurented to be nice!!

We noticed on arrival, that there was no real friendly greeting, which I think goes along way!! The food was plentiful, but we did wait quite awhile. Our son enjoyed the childs lasagne, but the portion on his wasn't really enough for a 13 yr old, would go for the adults portion, having a hungry teenager!! All in all, not a bad lunchtime meal, but definately happier faces and a goodbye and thanks would of been nice....

This is pub food at its most average. The problem is that the owner thinks it's good. The prices are reasonable, but the menu is unimaginative and intended to meet the lowest common denominator. Here it succeeds. If somebody opened a decent food pub in Street, they would clean up.

very good food and drinks.very nice pub atmosphere.speedy service and reasonable choice of menu items.

alright if you want a little meat and masses of tasteless chips. service poor. prices high for quality of food.

Like the pies and homemade quality foods Good selection of ales in quaffable condition. Feels like you are back in the 80's

We always eat at the Two Brewers when we return to Street as the menu has a great choice and an excellent specials board to choose from.The quality can never be faulted and is served freshly cooked by very polite staff.The pub also has an excellent range of beers on tap at very reasonable prices also a good wine list.It is advisable to book as it's a very popular venue especially during holiday periods or for Sunday lunch.Richard the owner is a great host and always willing to chat, another pleasant surprise is the fact that there is no music or gaming machine noise to spoil your meal.

If u want hearty food this is the place to go in street ... Popular with all the locals .. Good steak served with a smile

I arranged to meet a business associate here and looked it up on TripAdvisor in advance. I was wary of what (only) one reviewer described as ‘greasy’ food, so I checked out food being served to other customers. I was reassured by what I saw and we both had delicious yet inexpensive meals. Some of the staff were foreign but they seemed very decent and courteous young people. The pub has a very female and family friendly atmosphere and an open, clean and relaxing ambience. It was busy with a pleasant clientele but not packed. We were both impressed and will use The Two Brewers again when we are next in the area.

I visited The Two Brewers with an associate yesterday having seen the reviews. The ambience was impressive. Yes, many of the staff were foreign but they were efficient, friendly and seemed to be pleasant young people. Before ordering lunch I checked out what other customers were being served. It didn't seem greasy, as one other reviewer has claimed. We both had beef pies with chips and beans and were delighted with our meals. The house red wine was surprisingly pleasant for a pub wine. The public area is spacious and clean and the many customers lunching when we visited all seemed to be happy decent people. It's a very female and family friendly place. I do not live locally but, if I did, I would certainly become a frequent visitor.
