Well Google did ask "how was your trip to the Farrier?" but I wish it hadn't! Possibly one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had would be the answer 😞. I get that it was a Friday evening and the one before half term, but the restaurant wasn't completely full, yet we had to wait for our "reserved" table at 6pm, despite arriving 20 minutes early and there being lots of tables for 4 empty already. Not to worry, as we could go get a drink at the bar. But with only one person serving then no wonder the guy next to us had a moan at how long he had been waiting! Once we finally got to the table it was about 10 minutes before being asked for our order and another 30 minutes for food to arrive (which is probably fair for the time of day). I had to query my bread and butter and wait another while for this to arrive, so I was well in to my meal by then. If it wasn't bad enough then there was some major flickering going on with all the lights in our restaurant area! I doubt very much that it was an intended "candle effect" but you would think the staff would have checked if we had any problem with it no? I could go on but a general summing-up was terrible customer service (the staff had no real "customer-facing" skills) and an evening to forget. Unfortunately it probably won't be forgotten, but at least it will be used for some laughs at how surreally bad the experience was. Oh, the food was ok though. Maybe aside from my bread which had been in the fridge (really, who does that with bread?) and the butter that was rock solid (and had to be melted on top of my fish) 😂. Sorry, Brewers Fayre, but this is one of your pubs that we won't be visiting again 👎.

Four Adults visited and four meals were partly consumed. Two Carveries on cold plates that rendered both meals cold before half the meal was eaten by which time the two other two menu ordered meals were still to be delivered to the table. A winner winner Chicken dinner should have simply read "just don't have this dinner" - definitely not as advertised! I'm still not sure what the smothered chicken was partly covered in? Very disappointed and would have complained but they wouldn't have heard us over the sound of the vacuum cleaner that was out as soon as tables cleared... With half of their food left on cold plates!
