Britannia Brewing Ladner — Restaurant in Delta

Too Bad I was really excited about trying this place. I had one drink before I never saw my waitress again. The drink was good. The rest sucked really really bad. the food arrived cold and it took an hour!!!. A half hour in she came and told me she forgot to put my order in. Wow. My daughter and I had the same dish and both looked totally different.She got hers 30 mins before me as well. The service was truly brutal and the food was meh at best and I had the seafood pasta . Its a really pretty place with potential. Better get it together or it wont be around long. Id give it negative stars but it wouldn't let me. Heed my warning, a tragic experience. Unless your going to get drunk, your better off to hit subway before you go.

CORRECTION !!! : Since I have posted this review I was contacted by Vince , the owner of Britannia brewing in ladner. He reviewed my experience via his cameras inside his restaurant. He agreed my experience was not a good one and that he used my experience as a learning example with his staff to assure that sort of experience isn't repeated in the future. Vince invited me back along with my family to give Britannia Brewing another shot at giving me the experience he felt i should have had to start with. DID THEY EVER ! I knew the drinks were good to start with , but now that I have had a chance to sample a few of the other drinks on the menu I'm pleasantly surprised to say the least. Excellent, I didn't have one that tasted cheap or rushed. Every drink was mixologist level good. More importantly the service was stellar this time. The food was 5 star quality and far above anything I've eaten in Ladner. Richmond, North or south Delta to date. So much so , Ill find it hard pressed to Venture downtown for a quality meal in the future with this place in my back yard! obviously I had a one off experience the first time. Ill Consider that teething, that most if not all new restaurants go through at start up. Over the moon excited to have you in our neighbourhood Vince. thanks again for the great experience Ill be back, Keep up...

Britannia Brewing in Ladner has definitely come a long way since opening and there are some great features here. If you don't have dietary concerns, this place has a range of things to offer and a nice clean environment.

PROS: •Always clean! I have yet to come in to a dirty table, cutlery, menus or bathrooms. This is huge, as many restaurants are actually subpar in this department. •The patio out back is dog friendly and done up with a nice fence, fake grass, and lights/signs so it's very welcoming (you're not just in a parking lot). •The staff are always friendly •Great selection for appetisers that differ from all the local restaurants around, and many are vegeterian. (Unsure if the fries are cooked in the same oil as the fish/chicken) •The Ladner Power Bowl is tasty. •They have some nice cocktails and locals beers. •They have a big section for large groups or functions which is off to the side from the main part of the restaurant. •Always willing to substitute or add to your meal without a fuss. •Lots of parking infront, behind, or across the street and pedal bike bars to lock your bike to right infront of the restaurant.

CONS •As a vegeterian, they finally brought in veggie options as mains but they are all portobello mushrooms options. (Port mush pasta, port mush as a burger, or port mush tacos.) I personally dislike the taste and texture of mushrooms and I'm not alone in either liking them or hating them. Considering there's chicken, beef, pork, and seafood options for meat eaters - it's lacking for veggies as a starter isn't enough as a meal. •It's can be expensive on the regular menu (depending on choice) and the happy hour is very limited and only $1-$2 off from the regular menu. •There's 3 salads that are vegeterian- a mushroom salad, a farm house salad, and a beet salad. The farm house salad is essentially a BOX of frisee salad with only a few bits added so after a quarter of it- you're over it. The beet salad is flavourless. •If it's busy, it's very loud, as there's no soft furnishings to...

Where do I start. We had reservations for 4 at 630pm. We were seated promptly and had to start looking around for a waitress to serve us. It was an acceptable time that we waited as our second group was a bit late. We ordered our food right away as they were busy on this Friday night. As time dragged on I saw other tables being seated and their food arriving. About a half hour wait the waitress came over and said our food would be there shortly. We ordered food at about 640pm. Food arrived an hour later brought to the table by the manager as he was there to help out. Talked to the manager and advised our food arrived about an hour after we ordered and I pointed out other tables that came in after us and had their food already and were half finished. No a happy person I was. There is no excuse to wait that long. He went to the kitchen and came back and advised our order was placed in the wrong line up at the back end instead of the front end. Just an apology was given. The food was great. We ordered the chicken burgers and fish and chips. Worth it. We had the order of beers and they were delicious. The crab and chilli spaghetti was bland and not much crab. Only half eaten. The waitress offered us free desserts for our wait which we had the churros. They were very good. If you ever had anything go wrong at Mario’s kitchen the manager cannot do enough for you to set things right. The manager here, I felt blown off, and that was that. I will give it a go again as I felt this was a one off incident to see if...
