Unfortunately, the food was not great. Several meals were unavailable, complaints made about a few dishes. The play area was the redeeming feature. No staff in play area on arrival, several members of staff chatting and not serving customers. Usually I wouldn't comment on that but it was pretty bad on this occasion.

It was cheap and cheerful but freezing cold. Kids loved the soft play and kids menu was great.

Had a pleasant visit for lunch. Seemed to be a shortage of staff as no-one was behind the bar when we went to order but think they were all busy serving food. The food was quite good and the prices were

Great staff and very good service. Food is reasonably priced and was very good. A few kids running about but not intrusive. Great place to catch up with old

We booked for Christmas day lunch, five adults and three children for a 3pm sitting. They were very busy, but wow we had a fabulous lunch and the staff worked so hard! The paté, tomato soup, pulled pork Yorkshire pud amazing, the carvery was spot on ... ham (delicious), turkey (succulent and tasty) and beef (medium rare, thinly sliced and so tender!) all the vegetables were cooked to perfection and ohhh the roast potatoes were just amazing ❤️ not forgetting the wonderful puddings. I just had to say that we had a really lovely Christmas day. Many thanks to the hard working staff.

I mean, it's fine. Service was OK, but you have to order at the bar. Burger and chips were tepid at best. The constant drone of screaming children wasn't for me. For £30 including wine I'm not sure it represents great value really.

Its a budget place to eat ,staff amazing, food not so ,garlic mushrooms very disappointing as just frozen bread crumb fried ,garden peas warm and over cooked,fish ok ,sloppy chicking ok but i advise ask for crispy bacon as it tasted precooked from a packet, its a chain why expect quality on a budget, won't returnParking: Remember to put your registration number in tablet when you arriveKid-friendliness: Soft play £4.50 per childWheelchair accessibility: Ramps easy access

First time back after a number of years and nothing has really changed, which is a shame.Starter or sharer nachos was pitiful to look at (forgot to get a photo, unfortunately). Stone cold, tiny dollop of sour cream barely enough to scrape together for a few bites, & cheese-flavoured sauce instead of any amount of actual cheese. Mains were great. 2 for £11.50 so definitely good value. Chips were delicious, sandwich and gammon both hot and tasty.The biggest issue was the time difference between starter & mains - easily 40+ minutes. Could be justified if it was particularly busy or we were a large group etc. but it was absolutely dead and we just ordered two of the most basic things from the cheap menu.

Moved to Rowlands Gill a couple of years ago and struggled to find a family friendly local. Brewers staff are always friendly and welcoming. Cheap and cheerful menu with really good Sunday lunch. Always feel comfortable with children and staff go above and beyond. Pop in for a cheap pint on a Friday, soft play and burger Saturday or family Sunday lunch, always consistent.Kid-friendliness: Brilliant soft play and welcoming staff.

Absolutely fantastic place for a get together with family and friends for a meal or party. Food is outstanding and the plates well filled (one meal could feed two.)Kids have a play room with staff on watch. One of the best places for food. Plenty of space around tables and chairs. I would recommend this place to everyone.Kid-friendliness: Great play room with plenty of soft play options for the kids to be entertained. Staffed as well!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes very good access for wheelchairs (inside and out.)

I've stayed here for 1 week while I've been working away, I can honestly say the staff and the food was excellent, I've been requesting different options on the menu as I'm on a diet plan, the staff here have done everything to accommodate me.Food was brilliant cooked perfectly thank you to chefs Eddie and Mark.The manager Donna was very welcoming and polite and couldn't help me more if she tried.Excellent service from kaitlyn.Biggest thank-you is to the loverly laddies who made my 8 boiled eggs every morning and made Mr laughVery welcoming with good energy.[ Norma, Lorraine ]Thank you again highly recommend.

Decent place, really quiet, amazing service, very funny people.Though, food was good for the rest of my family, the cheese & bacon burger was quite grim, the bread was stale, bacon was hard and crispy like some sort of wood, the beef was really tough and chewy, the salad did no taste correct, and in general tastes stale and sour, I did eventually finish it as I was starving.Would recommend coming here but just possibly don't get a burger ?
