Review of The Old Brewery Tavern: ? Write your review

This purpose-built addition to Michael Caines’ ABode Hotel has its own entrance & kitchen & just about everything else you could desire in a local tavern: affordable, no-frills pub food & a relaxed vibe (except on Friday & Saturday nights when there are DJs). It ticks all the right boxes on the looks front, delivering lots of space, big wooden tables, groovy light fittings & a courtyard area with a year-round barbecue & retractable glass roof. The cooking is blessedly simple, relying on the quality of well-sourced produce, & the menu bristles with comfort food – hearty soups, pork pies, steaks, burgers, fish pies, – & is supplemented by daily blackboard specials. Delicious platters of Italian cold meats & provencal vegetables, or Greek mezze are also there for peckish drinkers who don’t fancy a full-blown meal. Tolerance of children is a plus for parents, especially as under fives eat for free.

Took my daughter for a post brithday brunch. She had a child's roast and I had the full English. Her beef was tough, roast potatoes overcooked and the vegetables cool. Having waited for 30 minutes from ordering and watching carefully the chefs preparation with extensive fingering and faffing I had at least expected a hot tasty breakfast. Unfortunately not even the plate was hot. One precooked and reheated sausage, two rashers of bacon one crispy, the other hardly having received any heat and half a slice, yes half a slice, of black pudding, all garnished with 4 button mushrooms a spoon of beans, uncooked tomato and two average fried eggs. But my friends imagine after such a wait to find each item to be either lukewarm or cold. How can any one get a fry up so very wrong? A friend once dined there and had to send back a fish pie which was cold in the centre so I wouldn't recommend this place for warm and hearty meal. Expensive too for such mediocrity.
