Cracking Sunday Roast at Goddards Brewery
Last Sunday, me mates and I decided to pop down to Goddards Brewery on the Isle of Wight for a proper Sunday roast, and blimey, what a treat it was! Nestled in the picturesque countryside, this gem of a place has a warm and inviting atmosphere that screams "British charm".
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The staff were top-notch, all smiles and ready for a natter. We found ourselves a cosy spot and settled in, eagerly anticipating the feast ahead.
Now, onto the main event – the Sunday roast. It was absolutely bang-on. The roast beef was tender and cooked to perfection, practically melting in your mouth. The Yorkshire puddings were the size of your head and beautifully crisp. None of that soggy nonsense here! The roasties were golden and crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, just like Mum used to make. And the gravy, oh the gravy, rich and flavoursome, tying everything together like a well-wrapped pressie.
The veg was spot-on too – fresh and perfectly cooked, with a nice bit of crunch. They didn’t skimp on the portions either; you get a hearty plateful, enough to satisfy even the hungriest of blokes.
We washed it all down with some of Goddards' own brews. The Ale of Wight was a particular favourite, with its smooth, malty flavour. You can tell these chaps know their stuff when it comes to brewing. Proper job.
The atmosphere in the brewery is second to none. It's got that rustic charm, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for the afternoon, having a good chinwag and forgetting about the outside world.
To sum it up, if you're on the Isle of Wight and fancy a cracking Sunday roast, Goddards Brewery is the place to be. Great food, top-quality beer, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back time and time again. Cheers to the folks at Goddards for a...
Read moreThe brewery has a nice size car park with disabled parking and a good flat entrance into the brewery. Easy to do with a wheelchair. The shop is nicely laid out and we were greeted by friendly staff. Admission is a one off payment of £12.50 each but this included a pint glass each, a souvenir guide about the brewery, 10% off of purchases in the shop and a free trio of tasting beers each or a soft drink. You don't have to have the free tasting beers or soft drink straight away either, which was nice. There is a nice sized disabled toilet downstairs and a lift to take you up to the bar/restaurant. Only difficulty with the lift is that you have to hold the button continuously for it to keep moving, which I find tricky but thankfully hubby is on hand to do this for me. The bar/restaurant is a good size, with nice space between tables to get a wheelchair through and there is a good selection of different sized tables to choose from. The food we had was delicious, with a good, interesting choice of dishes and at a reasonable price. Our only criticism would be that the sweet menu is a little lacking but we still managed to find something each. Also it would be handy to have another disabled toilet upstairs as it does take a while to use the lift. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a lovely place to relax in, with a good atmosphere. We will definitely be making the most of...
Read moreIts a shame that no one seems to really know what they're doing here as the food is lovely. Me and my family all have memberships and have visited many times before. When we go, we get told different information from the people in the restaurant to the people at the front desk. Asked the restaurant team if we could bring guests with us for food should we wish. Was told they believed we could as we all had memberships so could bring a guest each. Turn up today with four memberships and two guests to be told by the front desk that we couldn't bring them in with us, but if they wanted to buy a day, visitor pass each then they could. Argued that that wasn't what we were told, but the lady at the desk was adamant, so all 6 of us left to find somewhere else. It's a shame as I don't think any of us will be returning until they have a clear policy on whether members can bring...
