"Wow wow.. we stumbled upon this diamond in the rough whilst on our way back from a hike up Pen y fam. We were starving with no reservation, walked in hoping they could serve us on a Saturday night. As i walked in, the first thing i noticed was the largest most awesome plate of dirty fries i have ever seen and instantly thought.. jesus.. what is this place?! The bar manager came over to us and realised we were weary travellers needing some good cold beer and lots of food.. after moving things around for a minute they managed to fit us in and I'm so thankful for that. The food was super delicious, home cooked and big portions. The atmosphere was so friendly, welcoming, and warm. The service was absolutely spot on, couldnt have asked for a better experience. I hope to be back one day for the live music and Kareoke night, by all accounts its not to be missed!"

"Had a steak last night which was good but my onion rings were missing and I had the tiniest mushroom grilled to death, asked the guy who brought our meals about the onion rings and he shrugged said out of stock and just walked off. Went to the bar to ask why I’d been charged for them if there aren’t any and again I got a shrug and was told I could have extra mushroom instead which I agreed to as by now the rest of the meal was getting cold. The guy brought me a bowl with raw mushroom slices in it! My partner went back to the bar with these, by the time I got cooked mushrooms I’d finished my meal and there was no way I was going to eat them for fear of them having been spat on or worse.!Staff take no pride and seem like just being there is a massive inconvenience to them. To be fair I have had some nice meals here but there’s always some issue or another, usually items missing from the meal. Come on guys put a bit of effort in, it’s not difficult I’m not expecting Michelin stars it’d just be nice to have a basic meal without having to go back to the bar for something every time!"

""Usually, the regular spoons have a nice selection of ales, and the half chicken has always been my favorite. The curries are good as well. However, I would recommend avoiding the lasagna or similar dishes, as they seem to be frozen and were still cold in the middle when served. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5""

"What an absolutely excellent staff team at Brewers Fayre. We went at lunch time on a Tuesday and the place was very busy the staff coped so well with this and rather than rushing they took time to speak to guests, check everything was okay and always said thank you to coming to guests leaving. The barman took a while with my drink (it was a new cocktail) and apologised twice there was no need, but it was appreciated. The food came out quickly and was lovely and hot. I ordered a two course menu (great value for £14.99) and the pudding I ordered was vegan I didn't realise and this wasn't a problem, but the server went back and added cream on and said if I did not like the vegan ice cream that she would change it. Nothing was too much bother for this staff team and they are a true credit to Brewers Fayre and we will return because we were made to feel so welcome. Thank you and keep up the good work."

"Weve not been in here since just before lock down omg what a change and not for the better ,change of everything ,looks like only 1 original staff member there and she was more out the back and she should be front of house as shes a people person with a smile that welcomes you,but not this visit staff not friendly ordered coffee which went to another table, staff seemed disorganised and not working as a team took ages before they realised total shambles, sorry but wont be going back , poor selection of cakes used to be great but its lost its charm"
