Two Brewers in Welwyn Hatfield

Had the Sunday roast today. Portions are just enough, not too much and not too little. Taste is ok. But the service is just poor! Starting off with the drinks, the lady taking our order had to go back to the bar to find out which ciders they have. Two of the drinks were served and we were asked again what else is/are missing. For desserts, she doesn't know which crumble they have or even the ice cream they have. It took more than half an hour for the pudding to arrive just for ice creams, sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble, they must have forgotten as I had to go to the bar to follow up. And when the ice cream came, one got served vanilla ice cream which she sent back when she specifically ordered 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream. For a limited menu, I don't think that's confusing at all nor a reason for poor service. It's such a disappointment really. In response, I did express my concern. I even went to follow up our dessert order. The only response was, "it will be ready in 5 mins. Are you in a hurry?" No apology for the delay.

Delicious Sunday roast and great service, highly recommended. I’ve also been for lunch in the week and the homemade fish finger sandwich was lovely too. Great to support our local 😊

Lovely new owners, great food and service.

Five of us stopped for lunch and had a fabulous meal. I chose the Cumberland sausages and they were sublime. Layered over mashed potatoes and vegetables and covered in gravy they were the most delicious I had had in a while. Another in our party had the steak and kidney pie which also got a big thumbs up. Because it was so good we returned a few days later - again for lunch - and this time it was a different story. They had neither the pie of the day nor the sausages on the menu - in fact the menu was severely limited - due to no delivery that week and a new chef. Hopefully that will be remedied and they will be back to producing excellent food again soon

Best meal I have had in a pub in years. Proper pie with excellent pastry, yummy mash.

Lovely local pub, the lady that served us was very friendly and helpful.

Food was nice, menu a little on the small side though. Reasonably priced too. Wasn't impressed at having to pay £6.95 for a Moretti outside of London however.

Had Sunday lunch with friends, friendly staff, efficient service and good food, very dog friendly

Ruined my mother's birthday lunch. Awful food served by clueless school leavers. I should have guessed when I was able to book a table for 5 at short notice for Sunday lunch. Roast beef was like shoe leather, and everything else was burnt, dry, and overcooked. Came home and made something to eat as we were hungry!!! I am revising my previous review. Nick, the new owner, was very gracious about my scathing review and comments and invited us back as his guests to show that my last visit was not indicative of how they wanted to run this restaurant. On this visit, the staff were attentive and friendly. The food (and we all ordered something different) was lovely. Very tasty and good-sized portions. Thank you, Nick. We will definitely be back.

Very nice pub. Used to go there many many many years ago.. drinks prices not bad. It's a village pub

Impromptu visit for lunch with family! Food tasty and fresh and great size portions! Staff friendly and accommodating

Impromptu lunch with family! Food was fresh and tasty and good portion size! Pub nicely decorated and very relaxing atmosphere, service was a bit slow but food was beautifully cooked so well worth the wait! This in no way deterred as all the staff were really friendly and accommodating! Will definitely return and recommend to family and friends

Great food good service - plenty of food - Sunday roast was fantastic

This was our third visit to the pub - a beautiful quiet country pub friendly staff and a really great place to eat - the food is absolutely superb - highly recommend.

Recently taken over friendly staff Food finished at 4 so didn't get to try Hopefully grow into similar pub it used to be

We just want to try bee place to eat but it was a mistake. Worst Sunday roast ı ever had. The vegetables were very soggy. The meat was swimming in the gravy water, not the sauce. The staff was good and attentive.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. We had a beautiful meal in the pub’s lovely garden. The pub’s new management team are very welcoming - we will definitely be returning.

Excellent meal and beautiful beer garden. Would thoroughly recommend.

I visited last week and had a lovely Sunday lunch. I had the roast beef and it was delicious, and staff were very friendly. I will definitely be visiting again 😊

Been coming here for years and years for Sunday lunch. Service was always brisk and food was pretty good. The pub was sold, and things have changed. It's now being run by kids that are largely clueless. Our group of four sent one meal back and two others failed to finish their meals. The chicken burger was dry and tough, the roast beef was grey and gristly and the quinoa salad inedible. Plenty of better options than this immersive Lord of the Flies experience.

The food was hugely over priced for what it was, 2 dishes had to be sent back as one was disgusting (cheese pizza) and the second was under cooked. The food was nothing to be excited about and certainly would not recommend.

The best Sunday lunch! Perfect in all ways and a pudding to die for.

The best roast that I have ever had in a pub, lots of meat and perfect vegetables. Followed by an amazing pudding. Keep up the good work!!

We had a lovely family lunch together with absolutely delicious food. So lovely to have such welcoming new Landlords. We had a variety of food - fish & chips, curry, catch of the day and chicken burger, all of which were great. Highly recommend the Bloody Mary as well! Will definitely be back soon.

Lovely relaxed pub with super friendly staff and great food. Worth discovering

This is a great little jem of a village pub. Went for Sunday roast which was excellent. Generous portions, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Will visit again soon.

I popped down to find it closed . Closed from mid to early December, illness I understand. A terrible shame for a great pub and former community hub . .......Adding to this review . That fortunately a new couple haven this lovely pub on . I have visited and I'm pleased to say there is a better feel to the place than the last year under the previous guys .

So pleased that the Two Brewers is open again under New management. Just had the best Sunday lunch at a pub in a long time the food was delicious and piping hot. Staff are very friendly and polite, we look forward to visiting again soon.

Visited the very recently reopened Two Brewers on Sunday (31 of us). Amy and her team could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. Everyone having pre-ordered their food enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch. The kids had great fun in safety of the rear garden. Some of us then returned for a drink later that evening.

Popped into here for a bite to eat for lunch today. After reading some reviews, I had high hopes. Unfortunately the food wasn’t great at all. I would have enjoyed McDonald’s more!! I had a homemade chicken and leak pie. It was so stoggy. Not very well made. My partner had ham and chips. Yep, that’s it. Just ham and chips. No eggs. Such a basic thing which took around 40 minutes to come out. It looked and tasted like ham slices from a packet and the chips were frozen. That cost £16 😳 first and last time for me I’m afraid.

Three years ago before this pub changed hands I was a regular along with my family and friends. Alas having just eaten there with my daughter I won’t be going back. It’s now just a very ordinary pub. Having seen on their web site that pies were their speciality, we were told there were no pies available tonight ! The restaurant was virtually empty whereas three years ago it was virtually full up whenever I went there. What a shame as another great pub/restaurant bites the dust 👎🏻

Very disappointing menu choice - 4 things on specials board not available. Steak diane was misleading - just a peppercorn sauce. Website pictures bore no resemblance to actual food on offer. Virtually empty restaurant, rugby match on tv in background.

Lovely Sunday roast, for me portion too big, so couldn't fit in a dessert. My family did and enjoyed them too. Service very good.

Heard good things about the Sunday Lunch, it's all true, it was great, generous portion sizes, all cooked well, desserts are great too.

What a delightful find this place was. The lovey old architecture and the welcome were very special. As for the meal, wow it was outstanding. The staff were attentive and thoughtful at all times. The little extras were much appreciated, the food was delicious and the visit was very special and memorable for our family.

Great place, great beer & food, lovely people

Great food-well cooked. Also offered some salad alternatives for Sunday lunch and really nice to see some fresh fruit for those of us who want to eat healthily. Pleasant staff too. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic experience. The staff were all so welcoming and made you feel at home. A very well kept pub/restaurant. We ordered Sunday Lunch. When it first came out we thought it looked on the smaller portion side. We were very wrong. There were layers upon layers of delicious meat and vegetables with beautiful gravey. All meals ordered (beef, chicken & gammon) were faultless. The service was second to none. We will absolutely, without a doubt be returning.

Third visit for a meal in three weeks, generally only go for drinks. Good atmosphere, friendly staff and great food with generous portions. The scampi tails are the best I’ve ever tasted.

Superb cask ale and the fish & chips was amazing. Lovely garden out back

Our favourite pub. Staff are a delight as is the food. Sunday lunch is particularly good and not unsurprisingly very popular. Book in good time. The lady who cooks does the best steak and kidney pies ever.

To see the help in apron ,drinking tea at one of the set dining tables was not a good look, going in. The soup was good, but the steak and kidney pie, supposedly home-made ,had very soggy pastry ,similarly ,soggy crumble on the dessert. So, not very satisfactory. The other first course was scallops which were rather rubbery. The main course of Scampi was delicious...the scampi light and juicy, home-made tartare sauce and a substantial salad. A great pity that the food was so uneven ,we want to support our pubs in these difficult times, but this was very disappointing.

A thoroughly enjoyable lunch today for five of us, excellent service, lovely food, generous portions and reasonably priced. Only downside is, sadly, I live too far away to be a regular visitor.

Good pub, didn't stay long but liked the atmosphere and the staff were nice

The food is cooked in house. Is flavoursome fresh and good value. The staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is homely.

Mothers Day Sunday Lunch was fantastic. Everything lovely especially fresh vegetables. All served piping hot and without a long wait. There were extremely busy but very attentive and didn’t feel rushed. Puddings were lovely but cheesecake more like a mousse cake. Always excellent service and value

We have visited several times for Sunday lunch and never been disappointed, lovely owners and fantastic Sunday lunch, would definitely recommend.

We asked whether they could serve rare roast beef & they said yes. When our feed arrive the roast beef was burnt black like piece of old leather! The games by was bistro. The Yorkshire pudding was aunt Bessie. Noting home made about any of it The owner blamed the waitress bit gave us our money back for one persons meal.

I just had a lunch with family at the two brewers. The food was enjoyed by people on my table and the waitress that served us was lovely. However, there was an older gentlemen (who I believe is the owner) who was quite rude and sarcastic towards me on a couple of occasions. I found he had a bad attitude towards me as a customer and to be honest it ruined my experience of the lunch. I won’t be returning based on the way he treats his customers.

Place needs to be refurbished the staff were young they try to help but no idea as what to do they spilt gravy all over my mate and all they could say was sorry food was tough and chewy could not be eaten we mentioned it but all they said was sorry I would not go there again

I was here a few weeks ago I would never go back. Food was very bland and we heard alot of shouting coming from the kitchen where the owner was swearing at the staff.

Lovely staff,great food ,great service.

Visited for the first time yesterday (Sunday 15th), based our experience will definitely be returning. Our table was waited on by the lovely Kirsten. She was polite, professional and possessed excellent knowledge of the menu. The food, when it arrived, was beautifully presented, was piping hot and was quite clearly homemade on the premises, rather than in a some anonymous factory. I’d highly recommend the steak and mushroom pie! 😋 The portions are huge…, unfortunately, this meant no room for the vast selection of desserts. Hopefully be returning again in the not too distant future. Two thumbs up to all of the staff at the fabulous Two Brewers!

Lovely friendly staff. Homemade Steak & kidney pie the best I've ever eaten! Prawn & crayfish cocktail was great....huge prawns. Will come again Sunday lunchtime for roast & live music Well done & thank you

Have returned to this place over and over.. always good food.. always great service

An excellent family run friendly pub/restaurant serving delicious traditional food. We were new to the area and looking for something more than the chain pubs serving warmed up pre-prepared food. Highly recommended but keep it to yourself 🙄, I still want to get a table when I call😊

Nice pub, staff were very pleasant and bar area was very comfortable diddnt eat there but will in the near future.

Always a pleasure going into here the staff are very friendly they love Siemka my dog as do other people in there your always made very welcome I’ve been going there over 10 years now after my walks in the cuffley woods all around an amazing experience Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Met with friends here for the first time. Had heard it was good and was not disappointed. Two of us had the pie which was delicious. My other friends had the ribs and they said they were amazing. Some had the apple crumble and I had the Tiramasu. All delicious. Staff very friendly too. Will definitely return as can’t find pub near where I live that does a decent pie. The 30 minute journey will be well worth it!

What a fantastic place Great food Friendly people

Stopped by this lovely place. Fantastic Sunday afternoon, warm and welcoming atmosphere. First visit and was serenaded by the Amazing singing Duo 'Exact'. Opera to Pop music, there was some dancing. Uplifting and positive space and staff.

Loverly atmosphere the only downside was the drinks were expensive and the food was warm not hot. Chicken should always be thoroughly heated.

We had lunch h here today, it was great. This is a traditional English pub doing good food. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. Service was good, timely and efficient. Reasonably extensive menu ans specials. I had the curry that was cooked properly and generously portioned. My two friends enjoyed their meals too. We'll be back.

Lovely food, good service. Would have given five stars but listening to the boss being impatient and rude to his young staff wasn't pleasant for us or them. It was embarrassing. Would definitely visit again with the hope that this was a one off occasion as everything else was excellent.

We thought we'd try out this pub as we have never been there before and it had good reviews, while we was in the area. There is a convenient car park on site. You order your food and drinks at the bar and they give...

The most amazing meal last night for 16 people. The team could not do enough for us and the food was incredible. I have never had a bad meal here and it is by far the best food in our area, especially the puddings!!

Incredible food amazingly run. Chef is amazing at cooking and knows how to make amazing meals and puddings

Lovely Sunday afternoon at the Brewers. Amazing salad highly recommend something different to a roast.

The pear Stilton and walnut salad. One of the tastiest salads I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Coming back next week.

Lovely local especailly in tbe summer ☀️☀️. Had to have a cheeky pint to round off the afternoon

Lovely local country pub , open fire, good food .Great staff and managers and chef very friendly 👌

The most fantastic meal here tonight. Nicest steak I have had in many years, cooked to perfection. A variety of meals on our table and all perfect. Puddings to die for too. The customer service was 5 star, left in peace to eat but there...

Had a fab Mother's day lunch today. My first visit. Roast pork was huge and really tasty. The mum's loved the little gifts which was a very thoughtful touch. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely staff and great Sunday Roast.

Food not so great, sadly. From the hype from our friends I expected, no, hoped for much better. Still, not too little, and the beer was excellent.

We popped in for a drink after attending a service at the nearby church. The bar service was prompt and friendly and I look forward returning to dine there.

Friendly, warm atmosphere. Good food 😋

A couple, who are close friends of ours, for more years than I can remember, are very regular lunchtime patrons of this very attractive old and established pub/restaurant in Northaw Village. On his 83rd birthday, he invited us to join him & his wife for...

Great Sunday roast and a jazz singer. !! Lovely afternoon at an olde pub.

Great pub sunday roast was very good staff friendly

Lovely food and friendly service.

Food was lovely and loads of it.

A great place, run by wonderful people!

Middling price food, reasonable in most respects, but nothing stands out. Nice staff do a good job.

We were a large party of around 20 people but we're served with a tasty, reasonably priced meal with curtesy and efficiency.

Difficult to find food pubs that do more than basic fare currently; this pub being an exception - a great menu with lots of choice for all, specials board included. The ale was Wells DNA, this had a great flavour so very pleased. Had the...

Would highly recommend their home made steak and ale pie

Had a family celebration at the two brewers today, the roast and desserts were excellent as were the friendly, attentive staff. Will definitely be back to try their other menus and would highly recommend it.

Well worth a visit....food was excellent..all freshly cooked and we'll.presented. Varied menu and a good specials board ... Friendly ..family run pub and restaurant. 👍👍

Good food, good service, friendly and welcoming.
