Brunswick — Restaurant in Great Britain

Went to the Brunswick for lunch, arrived around 14:00 and the pub was empty, I waited for a short while in the first bar then as no one appeared I went through to the second bar and then also had a wait until someone came to serve, he was friendly and welcoming I ordered a drink and asked if they had any jacket potatoes that I'd seen on the menu at first he said yes then said that he'd have to check he went to the till hit the on screen pad a few times then said that they didn't have any as they had run out of cheese! I thought this odd. The menu has a high proportion of dishes that require cheese so surely a member of staff could have gone to a supermarket for some cheese earlier in the day. I ended up ordering a ham salad sandwich with chips the presentation was nice and the sandwich was good although I'd have preferred the bread to have been buttered rather than be given a pot of mayonnaise on the plate especially as there was a bottle of this already on the table. The pub was clean but could do with some redecoration. I appreciate that the Brunswick is not in the best of positions but it is in a large residential area so could do more to attract people in for lunch as it's a lovely building and in walking distance for many people like myself, I feel the menu is wrong for the location and unfortunately as a chain pub they are stuck with the same menu as the rest of the group, even the two course seniors menu looked unappetising. I haven't been there during the evening when it maybe busier, will have to give it a try when the get some...

It could be an amazing place if it had some time spent on it, went to a baby shower here today and I was shocked that it was £100 for the back room to be rented out when it was so run down, with a small bar covered in sticky stuff and old, mouldy lemon slices, it was used to store broken tables and a dusty old fridge, couldn’t even be bothered to tidy up before letting someone rent it out. Ivy had poked its way through the windows and taking over the ceiling, the toilets had such a foal smell before you even entered them. I was truly saddened that the host had spent so much money on a room that was not worth £100 and felt she was ripped off BIG TIME! Lady behind the bar wasn’t much friendly and made me feel like I shouldn’t have been there. 2 stars is purely because tall guy working there couldn’t have helped us enough when we asked for music...

I held my daughters birthday in the private function room for hire. What an amazing night. The manager Anna and All of the staff were all so helpful right from booking the hall, setting up the decorations (the balloon arch took 2 hours) and bringing out the buffet food I ordered for the night. The buffet was absolutely amazing, a few of my friends said it was the best buffet food they’d ever had. Also whatever wasn’t eaten they boxed up for me in takeaway boxes to take home. The staff helped me to tidy up the hall at the end of the night aswell, they really were lovely. The hall is great with its own speakers for you to play your own music through, different colour disco lights, disco ball and can decorate...
