Called in here on the off chance there would be a table as we were in the area. The girl at the door was smiley and helpful and managed to find a high table for two. Good start. I went to the bar to order food and drink, where a couple of young lads were chatting behind the bar. That's fine apart from the fact they both just looked blankly at me, and I had to ask for service! One of the lads came over, and I ordered two simple meals and two soft drinks. He forgot what the drinks were, so I repeated, then he forgot what the last drink was! Is it really that hard these days?! I left the bar with my coke and oj and lemonade, sat at the table, and waited for the food to arrive. Came fairly quickly in fairness and was warm. Shame it wasn't hot, but acceptable. The girl bringing the food over walked past us twice, looking for our table. When she found us, she just put the two meals down, said here, and turned to walk away. As my partner and I were switching the meals over to have the right one as she didn't ask, the server turned back to us and said, "Oh yeah, do you want sauce?" We asked for ketchup and mayo. Off she went, she came back a minute or two later with two plastic pots that had cheap ketchup and some odd tasting mayo. Not only is it expensive in the pub, but you get knock-off sauce, not to mention the amount of plastic waste this is!! Thought everyone was conscious of waste these days?! Not here! Anyway, the simple burgers we ordered were quite nice and homemade. I would say. Shame they were not hot. The fries with skin on were quite good, but only warm, and there was a small pile of coleslaw. It was a small amount of fries and coleslaw which is rubbish for the cost. Definitely better off going yo micks monster burger on the hill and getting fresh hot value for money food. I wouldn't bother going back, though a few staff were quite jolly. The environment is OK in there, but I guess it depends on who else is there. We were unfortunate enough to have a couple of kids jumping around by our table being quite noisy and hitting a balloon around near us. My other half has a weird phobia of balloons! Anyway, the staff didn't seem to care about them being a nuisance around other diners and in the walkways! To sum up , average food, poor service, pricey for what you get and not the best atmosphere.

It's the little things here for me. The food is reasonably priced for what you get. But then again, I am of the opinion that if I'm paying for it, it should taste good regardless of the charge, it might just be low quality or limited menu. After all I'm a big fan of wetherspoons and would probably recommend that over this particular brewers fayer. While my food arrived warm, cooked throughly and tasted good, the plates felt unclean. After inspection they looked clean but they had a rough / strange feel to them, as if they had dried on old food stuck to them. I have no doubt they had been in the dishwasher though. The bathrooms were however, filthy. The walls, floor and pipes by the sink had damp and mould growing from the water spilling and no one cleaning it up and there was a strong ammonia smell. The baby change was really filthy, dirty nappies and wipes left out and the bins were really full, the smell was unbareable. Tables felt sticky to touch and staff were slow to clear plates away. The children's menu was really good value for money and had fresh fruit and salad options. There is a children's play area, that if you have a child, you will be seated.next to, making for a very loud and distracting eating environment. I went with my 8 month old and trying to get him to concentrate on his food with all the children running around was hard. I fully support the children running and screaming, rather them let it out here and burn the energy than screaming at home and deafening their parents! But I feel it should be something that you are asked if you wish to be seated next to. I think overall the kitchen is good but the front of house needs work.

Visited here on the 13-6-2018 and with confidence I can say never again. I took my nieces and my brother here mainly so the girls could play in the play area. We had to clean part of the play area, there was no staff in the kids area for the duration of our time in there. The food arrived very quickly but this is not a good thing as it was clearly reheated. Chips were undercooked burger buns were over grilled and effectively became toast. The burger itself was £12 and it was reheated in the microwave. I find that disgusting. One of the kids has spaghetti bolognaise, no flavour and full of water the other had a small burger this time the bun was almost dough and the burger was again reheated in the microwave. I have uploaded pictures of the awful food we were served. I think the worst part of my visit here was when I took my niece to the toilet, they have a disabled and baby changing toilet so we used that. I am disgusted that I had to make my niece wait whilst I cleaned the toilet as some monster clearly can’t aim, it’s everywhere including the floor, toilet seat and toilet handle. It says the toilets are checked and cleaned but I checked the toilets again as I left and they still had not been cleaned. A full letter with staff names and a more detailed complaint has been constructed and will be sent to head office. I like to give a place more than one chance as we’re all human and have off days but I have now been here twice and both times my experience has been awful. I’d advise if your in this area and are wanting food you have a great selection just two minutes away down Palmerston Road.

Well where shall I start,let me first start by saying I will never return to this place,we came here as the kids wanted to play,the play area was unmanned,I had to find a broom and sweep under my table as there was food everywhere,now I'm no snob and I have 3 children so mess is common but under this table it looked like someone had dropped a grenade. On further investigation I found food everywhere under tables,empty plates on tables,absolute car crash,no-one was clearing up,we had our food within about 20 mins(not bad)the table next to us had been waiting an hour !!! How does that work ???. I ordered full rack of ribs,ribs were dry visually,the sauce(what of it) looked like it had been scraped of someone's left overs and put on my ribs,no presentation atall,all in all terrible experience,this restaurant doesn't deserve the one star I gave to be fair.anyway let's see the pictures you're saying ?
