British Brewing Company — Restaurant in Mumbai

3rd Review Went recently but never get to sit the the comfortable areas always put at the back . Even when empty they just put reservation signs and don't let you sit there . Last Time when empty I insisted , why should I pay a bill of 4-5 k If I am not comfortable why would I wast my time and money . Not to mention lousy staff. With a serious attitude problem like they are doing you a favor by eating there . So we left and went next door to olive restaurant more comfortable better staff and much better food. BBC is good for the novelty and house beer , But not worth the experience making me unlikely to ever go here again . I will not. They are cheap, and even use refilled fake ketchup , which is probably very unhygienic and God only know what else . Sad to say as I like BBC but this one is on my black list . And obviously the owner doesn't care or indorses such behavior and cost cutting . Just a cheap mentality running a legacy brand. BBC should not give their names to such people as it destroys the universal brand .

2nd review, Decent food this time, Many changes were made .

BBC well what to say it is classic like the Red lion Pubs of the uk . A key signature is the Guinness beer and Stout house black beer. Since the uk pubs usually serve Non veg as their trade marks dishes i cannot comment on that . I am veg, and was not really happy with the style of preparation or presentation. We ordered a mix of pesto pasta , Burger , Veg sizzler. And and ice tea , which should have been excellent was only ok. The pasta was dripping in sauce like a soup . I sent it back and it was dried up a bit and returned, Too much milk and cheese making it very different from an authentic pesto sauce , And no garnish. But more shocking NO GARLIC BREAD WITH THE PASTA. We order a garlic bead separately kindly added to our bill. No one world wide gives pasta without at least 2 pieces of garlic bread . I found this very cheap in its approach and speaks volumes. Send the burger though looked very appealing did not have any substance with regard to the bread , which I found destroyed the viscosity of the texture . The Burger pattie was not creative but just basic . Like any other frozen food. Unrefined and a Masala taste . With a few fries , What up with the quantity of French fries ? Shocking. Finally the sizzles looked ok Could have been presented better and had a better variety of vegetables. The veg steak on top was also Normal nothing great, Noodles below not so tasty. And Sauce could have been soooooo much better . Also FYI they don't keep BBQ sauce only a not so nice ketchup obviously refilled. Staff were good but one guy who served us was just blank , Didn't respond properly and looked vacuous at us. Any way the atmosphere was good . Not much to mess up there . Food definitely needs Tons of help to get it to a quality befitting the name BBC . Nice place to chill have a drink for sure , but maybe have dinner next door. Till they take their food more seriously . And Price considering 3 people paid approx 3k with tip, and one of the was a child , who didn't like the dish . I would say a failure cost wise. Too expensive for the kind of food served. Not what I would call value for money . Yes give that kind of quality food and preparation as would be expected from such a place , then the price is ok . But as is not worth it...

This place was on our food radar for quite some time. So we thought to give it a try and it turned out to be a really good experience

This is what we ordered

Mocktails:

Virgin Mojito:I have tasted Virgin Mojito at quite some places but the one at British Brewing Company was perfect. The drink was garnished with mint leaves that gave it a fresh taste. The presentation was really good and the temperature of the drink was appropriate.

Guava Spice: Very sharp but tasty and fresh flavour, just like the roadside Guava drink but in the form of a cocktail drink. The presentation was really good, the glass edges were coated with sugar and the presentation was on point

Starters Fiery Chicken Lollipop: The Lollipops were marinated well which gave it the awesome taste,softness and crunchiness. All in all this starter was a perfect combination, though I expected more since the same said ‘Fiery’ and the Lollipops didn't seem to have that spice.

Barbeque Paneer Satay: Excellent Barbecue techniques. Paneer was evenly and perfectly barbequed on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with Barbecue sauce. The taste of Barbecue Paneer Satay might be liked by some people, whereas it can be contrary for some people, due to the sour taste of Barbecue sauce.

Barbecue Chicken Satay: Chicken was tender and well cooked, although a little side of mayonnaise/mustard was personally preferred to balance out the extremely sour taste of Barbecue sauce. The taste of Barbecue Chicken Satay might be liked by some people, whereas it can be contrary for some people, due to the sour taste of Barbecue sauce.

Main Course: Cajun Chicken Sizzler: Great quantity of chicken, rice, well cooked veggies and french fries for two people, but the french fries were definitely too salty. Make sure to tell your waiter to be careful with that. The rice had a bland taste to it, which was not that we expected from this dish . Make sure you ask for extra sauce for the sizzler as the rice may not balance out the taste of the Chicken provided alongside. Otherwise, we surely recommend it!

Dessert: Sizzling Brownie: Probably the best sizzling brownie you will find out of many restaurants. This doesn’t stick to the spoon or the presentation dish much, like a lot of sizzling brownies do. Comes with a dollop of vanilla icecream and this one is a must have if you ever go there. Worth your money!

Hi I along with my husband and Son visited BBCo at the Oberon Mall yesterday , very excited to visit this Gastro pub , the music was really loud but it’s ok as it was some office party, menu looked amazing with most of the British food on there and when it said pub grub oh my gosh I said to my husband and son let’s have a drink and have dinner at BBCo, we ordered fish and chips , the non veg platter and nans and fries , when the fish and chips arrived I was really very disappointed as it was more fish Goujons than an English fish and chips which my son ordered. The batter was only a think batter overly deep fried , the tartare sauce wasn’t tatare sauce and they had forgotten to serve the mushy peas as it says on the menu that minted mushy peas is served with it I mean that completes a traditional Fish and chips which, When we asked about the mushy peas one of the boys who served us said that’s the old menu, but hey if it is an old menu why is it online I’m sorry but whoever served us didn’t tell us we are looking at an old menu, to keep the long story short I’m a SousChef / Head Chef at The New Inn Pub , which is located in Hurstpierpoint , UK and this is was very disappointing to us after we have been on a 14 hour flight to Mumbai , tired and exhausted. My son couldn’t even finish the fish Goujons ( Fish and chips) as the batter was to thick overly deep fried and when they served us the peas it was just peas sautéed in a pan with a bit of onions which tasted really bad according to me I think the peas were kept out in the heat without checking if it was ok to be served someone decided why not chop some onions toss the peas in it with a bit of salt and pepper, but instead these peas should have been binned and not served. Being a chef for so-many years and cooking all the British food all these years this experience was very disappointing to us especially me . One of the staff didn’t even know what is mushy...
