Bancroft Brew Pub — Restaurant in Bancroft

This place is Amazing!

Went here back in July and still I remember it as though it were yesterday.

In following social distance protocols the group of 4 I was with got a table at the edge of the patio. The weather was finicky that day so the possibility of rain was uncertain and we didn't have the Canvas over head, it was just a flimsy umbrella that likely would not save us all from getting wet, if it did rain. Thankfully it did not.

Their menu is great with a lot of options and accomodations for those with atypical eating habits (ie. Gluten free/ veg head/ etc). I got the Black Quartz Burger, cool ring to the name eh. This was a made in house black bean burger that was very delicious. I asked for extra mustard, thats my condiment of choice and I was pleasently surprised when they did not bring out French's or the other Quality Choice generic kind. They brought me something I hadn't seen before. From the city, I was definitely happily surprised.

Additionally, I ordered a side of the lattice fries. When faced with the choice of fries; shoe string, sweet potatoe, or lattice the choice can be a hard one. I got the special lattice fries because I was feeling extra special.

Our sever was a server extraordinaire! They made us laugh, was professional in their demeanour, they were friendly, and simply went above and beyond.

The total of my order with a root beer too, came to just over $20, which is a pretty remarkable price.

And to top off my experience, they have these old saw wheels on the wall outside. Pretty sure this one was painted. Their indoors looked equally creative and artistic.

Definitely a top- notch experience all round.

Would 100% return, when given the...

UPDATED: re response- 'fresh chicken' has bones & completely different texture(so that chicken was definitely Not fresh, as stated it is clearly pre-cooked, processed meat ) & regarding ?bacon? perhaps someone forgot to include it that day. No justification for using finger dip bowls instead of proper salad bowls? No attempt at explaining to a customer how a piece of cheese cost $2.50? I have dropped my rating an additional star due to the lack of customer compassion in your response.

What a rip-off. I was in for lunch & extremely disappointed. Kids meal $11 - or $13.50 if there is cheese on the burger ($2.50 for 1 slice of cheese? really) Brewery Club is just a pre-cooked piece of processed chicken (yea real chicken looks very different), slice of tomato & 2 pieces of lettuce. The side salads are served in a bowl so small that Swiss Chalet uses the same ones for lemon-water finger rinse. The chicken Parmesan was unfinished because of the overly gratuitous use of salt in the breading. So my family liked 1 thing- the noodles and mushrooms that came with the chicken parmesan. Got the bill, was asked if I needed the machine- to which I said 'no'...... then the waitress left and I had to track her down in order to pay my bill. Obviously if I don't need the machine I'm 'trying' give cash = if you walk away from that, I don't need to leave a tip for being ignored.

Will be returning to Bancroft, won't be dining here again......I'll try to find "Dave's" for some fish & chips (Thanks to...

Long Unexciting Story: As a Habanero Worshiper I discovered the Bancroft Brew Pub had a "Honey Habanero" dry seasoning for the wings. Ordered takeout from the bar (a cozy and pleasant 6-Seater) and met some fascinating people while waiting; so fascinating that we stayed long after the food arrived and gone cold!! We picked up their tab and happily headed back to eat, only to find they had not given the "Honey Habanero", but the "Chili Lime" (which was very good but not what I wanted) and "Ranch" instead of "Blue Cheese" carrot dip. Decided to go back the next day to try the habanero: Same thing. This time went back to the bartender who declared she watched the seasoning be put into the takeout cup and that it was correct. It was not, but nothing further we could do, so left and ate a second batch of wings plain. Made the discovery that the next night was Thursday Wing Night and was determined to try the habanero, even if it meant ordering 2 orders to compare and get to the bottom of it. After uncomfortably explaining the situation to the waitress, she graciously asked if she could just bring the two seasonings with 1 order of wings. The wings were perfectly well-cooked with a beautiful crunch and, lo and behold, the Honey Habanero was better than I could imagine. Many "habanero" flavored things are just hot, but this one captured that elusive and exquisite habanero flavor. Thank GAWD they don't sell it to the public (not really!!). Thank you...
