The Windmill Brewers Fayre in Hastings

Lovely atmosphere good value meal. Great service

Not a bad breakfast but the food is a bit slow.

Lovely meal very friendly staff

Fantastic, lovely food and lovely people, April is a massive credit along with all the staff

On the 9th of November we had my daughter’s 60th birthday meal here. The staff were so very helpful particularly Emma who helped light the flare on the birthday cake. Also I had been ill and didn’t feel well enough to stay inside and she very kindly bought some toast out for me and a prawn cocktail for my friend who was sitting in the car with me. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. All the food was good as well with the exception of the meat in the mixed grill which was a bit chewy and gristly.

April is and asset to the company very friendly and a diamond girl.

Stayed next door and had dinner and breakfast here. Service was great and staff are friendly.

We were more than pleasantly surprised when we dropped in for a meal. The manager and a waitress named April gave exceptional value for money. We will definitely drop in again.

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff,a special mention for waitress April, very pleasant and hard working young lady.Food was very tasty and good value with generous portions.

April was lovely. Great place to eat with small children.

I love eating here. There is a selection of food, so everyone is happy. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Our server April was a sweetheart

Stayed in the hotel next door for several night for work as a undertaker. Emma, Angie and Kirsty were amazing! From remembering my drink order, automatically booking my table when I would forget and just being happy to help. Couldn't recommend more for the staff alone! Food was brilliant. Will be booking again for future work trips.

My favourite place to go to eat, I love the sausage and mash. Rainbow serves us, she is very funny and a lovely friendly person. Harry age 11

We like the Windmill for the ease and the food is always enjoyable. We were served by the delightful Rainbow 🙂

Good food for the price, nice staff and great with kids who wanna play. The place does need some tlc, but for the prices of the food it is really great. Many options for food aswell.

Stayed at the hotel overnight and decided to eat here instead of driving into Hastings and we were not disappointed. The food was great with big portions. Our server April was friendly, polite and helpful. £53 for 2 people 3 courses and a bottle of wine using my wife's blue light card discount. Well done 👍🏻

The food is very good and the staff very good always willing to help

Fantastic service from Caron, highly recommend, cracking breakfast will be using again

I had the all you can eat breakfast with a friend. The food was amazing. All hot. Great selection.

The staff are very friendly polite Emma is a very friendly person who always goes out of her way to help you with anything

Party of 6 including 3 children. Fabulous breakfast great service from Emma, Neil and Angie. Plentiful supply of good food kept topped up with freshly cooked items. Good range of items available. Vegetarian sausages cooked on request and brought to our table. Would definitely eat here again.

Very friendly & welcoming place to eat, served by Emma & April this evening. Great service as usual

What can you say when you’re out for a cheap bit of grub with the kids? You pay for what you get, and all round good service, especially from Emma and Kirstie who took well to my loudness and Smiff charm!

Lovely family dinner great service from rainbow and really lovely atmosphere felt they couldn’t do enough for us whilst we was having a meal always was checking if ok and was happy to serve Thank you for you help Rainbow Harrison

Great value for money! Friendly staff, standard quality food , price reflects this

Good for a meal with kids. Soft play inside. Cheap food and drink. Service is fairly fast and friendly staff.

Had a lovely meal on table 26 thanks to our wonderful waitress April. She was polite and friendly and very much enjoyed the banter. I wish we had more people like her in this world thank you April Dave and Vanessa

We went along on a Sunday lunchtime. The carvery was fine, though it was the same price for a meat free plate as it was for a meat dinner which I think is a bit much. Our little one ordered macaroni cheese from the children's menu and it was hard pasta and lots of 'hidden' veg which wasn't very hidden - bits of pepper skin, large chunks of broccoli etc, not what he was expecting - he likes broccoli but on the side and he definitely doesn't like peppers which put him off the whole meal. We asked to be seated by the soft play which meant my husband and I could enjoy a meal and our toddler could have fun too. The rest of the pub was much quieter which was great for child free visitors. Our server, April, was great - we've had her before and her service is always professional and friendly. Thanks April 😁

Barely any of the carvery meat left and we had a big booking of 10+.. all the vegetables were over cooked, the potatoes seemed aunt bessy and deep fried. But the worst thing, upon arriving I was shocked to hear how the manager was speaking to the staff. Who all seemed scared of her. I myself have worked hospitality for 18 years and it is never ever acceptable to make someone feel small, to speak to anybody in the way that she was. It made her staff feel uncomfortable and awkward when then having to communicate with us. The venue was really nice and the staff all very helpful, except the manager who in my view should never be allowed to be in charge of people.

Lovely and welcoming staff. Waitress April, (or should i say October)was very chatty and cheerful and as it was a rainy Monday morning (and Rainy days and Mondays always get you down!)was most appreciated. Food was good too as was the server

Value for money. Staff like April and the head of House excellent

Overall, always had a good experience with brewers fayre. Excellent food and customer service, even when busy. The food is pretty cheap, but is of excellent quality. Quick to sit down and quick for food. I would reccommend going there.

Lovely friendly staff. Good food. Amazing gluten free cheesecake !!! We had such a good time we came back for the breakfast. Would use all the time if lived closer.

Buffet breakfast is always lovely! Food is well cooked and topped up frequently

We stayed at the adjacent hotel and went for dinner, when we went to the bar to order our food we was met by Emma, she was friendly and welcoming, when ordering dinner she helped me with changing it to suit me, we was served quickly and the food was very nice and well cooked, I would defo recommend the Cadbury s cheesecake. It was clean and tidy and had a good feel to it, staff seemed happy and happy to help. Looking forwards to breakfast tomorrow.

I booked for myself and daughter ,along with granddaughter ,soon to be aged 5 . We placed our order and proceeded to wait 55mins .Half the food items were out of stock .So settled on 2nd choices . When my pizza arrived ,it had the wrong topping .They left my chips to go cold .While I watched my daughter and granddaughter finish their food . I was so cross ,I asked to speak to the manager .I was shocked ,her first words were ,walk with me for a fag .I declined saying I don't smoke .She stunk of nicotine, to the point of being anti social .She then said ,what about a free drink ,I also declined .Closely followed by the offer of a free pudding ,also declined . I said ,I want a refund on my meal at the very least . The so called manager said tell you what. I will refund the childs meal .Also declined as the cheapest and already eaten while waiting for mine . Frankly ,after waiting an hour. she would have settled for eating the coasters . I requested my meal refund .At which point ,this manager said she needed to speak to her manager lol .She returned with the card machine but had no idea how to refund ,without charging my card twice .In exasperation, I requested the refund in cash .So many people were being kept waiting for their food .But doing that British thing,where they sat in silence while losing the will to live . If I could give advice ,it would be ,sack everyone and start from the beginning .The place is shocking .,in every way . Never again .........

Not been for at least 4 years, but food was lovely and service. Only complaint, as we sat outside, two tables with overflowing cigarette buts.

Took my daughter here for her birthday meal. My daughter couldn't even bite into the burger, my fish and chips wasn't cooked and there was no vinegar or sauces, my partners mixed grill had items missing and there were fruit flies everywhere it was gross. I was also overcharged on the children's meal and there was nobody available to complain to so we left. After getting home both myself and my daughter have been sick. Awful.

Just had a couple of drinks… Very friendly and attentive staff, Emma in particular was a real gem and made me feel very welcome. Thanks!

Excellent service, polite, helpful staff. Great food.

Jade was an absolute delight! Super quick service, drinks were amazing! Highly recommend.

We were here for breakfast and wow, it was very busy. We sat observing while listening to customers complaining to each other regarding, food slow to come out, glasses and plates running out, state of tables left uncleared etc etc. To be fair we only saw one girl clearing tables....however she was extremely slow and enjoyed standing talking to people and kept going in and out the kitchen with nothing and popping behind the bar, appears anything other than clearing tables for customers. One young guy didn't catch his name but we take our hat off to him as he was everywhere, filling drinks, getting, glasses etc customers what they required. Never stopped, he deserves a medal, took the complaining from various customers. Kept his cool, clearly an asset to the company. Hope they see how hard he works.

Friendly staff. April was really helpful.

A very good friendly atmosphere. Cheerful staff, especially Caron, who was very helpful.

Been here many times, only just leaving a review... the staff are great, the food was lovely and the service was quality. Recommend to anyone!

Been a while since our last family visit, as was a favourite place to come for family birthday 🎂 days. Came for my daughters 18th bit late in the evening but looking forward to a nice family dinner. Menu options weren't too bad good selection all round . Didn't have to wait too long for food. Wasn't what we remembered, few issues but nothing major, might try something else next time. Only issue was really sticky and heard other dinners saying the same thing . Found the staff abit laid back aswell.

Me, my wife and my 1 year old went out on a family diner day last minute and choose brewers fayre for dinner as we were close. We very much enjoyed our service accompanied by Jade who made us laugh and made our night and the food was great for its value. My son also loved his fish bites & peas and definitely approved to. Much appreciated Thanks jade Kind regards Charlie.S

Me my son and husband came out this evening and thought to come here Such amazing food and drinks and a very big thank you to Jade your amazing ur attitude and ur kindness it’s so lovely u really made our evening skye xxx

Jade was amazing! Great service!

I would not recommend this place when we arrived with our granddaughter. we said she would like to use the soft play area,the table we were given was filthy, the chairs were sticky and dirty,the carpet was covered in slug trails,there was food all over the floor,a chair at the table next to us had a broken leg,I had to warn a lady before she sat on it,they called staff to take it away,I had to wipe up spilt liquid in the play area,before my granddaughter could play,staff also allowed two smokers to use the fire exit next to where we were eating,with the door open,allowing smoke to come in ? We will not be going here again.

Great food service was great lovely April was very friendly

There were 5 people to be served 2 had there's in good time, the remainder had to wait 20min. So the had finished there meal before the other people had been served..not good.

Great service in this place x it was our daughters 7th birthday while we were staying 8n the premium Inn next to the windmill. Amazing staff Jade and Emma

Good food for the price. Jade was very friendly and chatty with the kids making them laugh

Very friendly service. Excellent food. Jade served us and made our whole evening comfortable and not wanting for anything. Would definitely recommend. Gerald

Jade was really friendly, came in for a pint and she was lovely

Food was lovely. Jade the waitress was amazing thank you we will be back soon

Nice 'all you can eat breakfast. Good selection of teas and coffees, helpful staff. Very busy. Definitely be going here for breakfast again.

Had a lovely experience here, all the staff were amazing especially Emma. Give my cousin and his wife a very special anniversary. Would definitely go here again! :)

Very good value breakfast 👌 2 adults and 2 kids came to £21 😃 kids filled there boots and we had a nice breakfast 😋 all good 👍 😀

Lovely Carvery, severed by a very friendly man called steve

Went there yesterday afternoon and was served by Jade who was very friendly and jolly. Lovely atmosphere and the food was served quickly. A massive improvent on previous visits.

Nice bar, nice food and average staff mostly with the exception of Jade she’s awesome and makes a great place to be.

Absolutely awesome jade and the bar staff are great definitely coming again

Very nice place to eat very friendly and helpful staff 👍 plus a very nice roast 😋

Super English breakfast for a good price. Unlimited sausages, fried or scrambled eggs, bacon, beans, black pudding, coffee, tea, etc.

Lovely staff and food was great. I had a rump steak 😋and hubby had a gammon.

They have a soft play for the kids! Amazing, the staff are spot on too especially Angie, if you ask her nicely she'll get you some colouring in stuff. 😉

I had a really lovely lady called Caron who was helpful funny and very sweet. She made our experience much better. Thank you

Really enjoyed our meal here. Food was tasty and hot. Service was quick and friendly. It really was outstanding for the price. What let the restaurant down was the car park. Whilst I appreciate that the guest car which had parked in the loading bay meaning the laundry lorry completely blocking access to the disabled bays (and making access to the rest of the car park awkward) was not the fault of the restaurant or Premier Inn, the amount of litter in the car park is. Discarded dog poo bags, half empty drink bottles, fast food wrappers that all looked as though they had been there sometime is not a pleasant welcome

Lovely food, friendly staff, April always serves the food with a smile

On arrival, it was good to find a large, spacious carpark. Inside is clean and spacious. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially April, who served us. The food was delicious, I had garlic mushrooms, to start and lasagne for my main course.

Food and drink reasonably priced, Angie & Corina brilliant on bar, Jade amazing on floor and very lively and bubbly. Defo coming back

Stayed over night, fantastic staff and service. Would highly recommend 👌 👍

Had a great visit and really impressed with your staff Jade she was brilliant

Very pleased with the service jade was very interactive with my 2 children made sure our food was all okk

Very pleased with the service with jade was very interactive with my 2 children and always came with a smile and a natter

Good food, very reasonable prices and friendly, helpful staff. Altogether, a joy, we will be revisiting soon.

Food fantastic so much variety breakfast for £10.99 you can eat as much as you like hot food all the usual hot foods beans sausages bacon hashbrowns Black sausage mushrooms scrambled egg fried egg toast crumpets list goes on ,and you can eat continental breakfast as well as the hot foods all types of tea coffees juices yogurts fresh fruit very spacious setting my only fault was the some previous customers plates were not cleared away several tables with used plates and some spilt foods on them but maybe we were just unlucky that day ,but despite that it would not stop me going again ok for parking as well.

Neil & Amos were awesome today, great service and the food was great. Thank you all

We brought our family and some extended family who were visiting and we all enjoyed our meals and the kids loved the little play area.

Jade was very accommodating whilst we had a great breakfast. Thank you Jade!

Can’t fault it at all. The staff were very friendly an extremely helpful. The staff were a credit to the company. An the company should be happy to have staff this good

Just wanted to say thank you so much to Jade who went above and beyond when she had to make our experience brilliant thanks again Jade Seton Maria Shirley and Lloyd.

Had breakfast with my friend for her birthday

Excellent Food, friendly staff. Go here fairly often for a carvery, which I feel is pretty good value for money.

Sticky tables and very mediocre food. Good value if you have lots of kids as they can eat for free.

It was very good sting in this hotel and the food was nice. Thank you

I find the restaurant convenient in this case, as both my children enjoy the soft play provided, and often make friends there when we visit. They both enjoy the mains and desserts on the kids' menu, but I do struggle when it comes to their starters. I do wish they'd have a drink within the special price meal deal if they do not wish to have any of the starters available.

Better this time than the last as we had a voucher again which thankfully staff knew how to put through the till the rack of ribs was lovely only issues this time was the soft drink machine seemed low on syrups for Dr pepper and some pepsi were coming out as water did ask to get it replaced it was promised but never happened .

Had a lovely carvery here with the family, hot fresh food and helpful friendly staff

The waitress April was so cheerful and friendly that she made us laugh every time that she was on duty

Poor service No lamb No mint sauce Burnt pig in blanket Burnt potatoes Food cold When carved the meat we had to wait for vegetables to come.out of kitchen Vegetables when come out were cold Staff not very helpful When complained they seemed not to care Prices are not good for what you get Gravy was lumpy Apple sauce was too watery Not very friendly or.polite Wouldn't recommend this one for anyone. It was the worse meal of.our holiday.

Had my son's 6th birthday party here, lovely food and atmosphere. The food was good value for money and staff were very helpful and friendly.

No stuffing No lamb No mint sauce Food was cold

The food was served on cold plates therefore food went cold very quickly which made it unpalatable. The tables were not cleared and only given a quick wipe down when cleared with a cold J cloth which was left on the opposite table

We had booked and told no food for another half an hour as ovens not working. No offer of complimentary drink. When we did go to order our drinks we heard others ordering food which we’d been told we couldn’t do for half an hour so we was way back in the orders! When food arrived the burgers were well overcooked and the smothered chicken wasn’t smothered in anything it had been over cooked on the outside! Certainly wouldn’t recommend

Very cheap and very good steaks

Went to this place yesterday the breakfast was cold had to wait 15 mins for tomatoes staff see my standing there and ignored me the staff and staff were rude as well.

Good breakfast kids love it because of the soft play
