Brewer's Fayre - Derry

I don 't really even know where to start with this review. Walked into the restaurant and it was practically empty... should have known. We were immediately told that the value offer wasn 't on... yet there was a big sign outside promoting the offer?? Alas, as its a Bank Holiday, the value deal is ceased. We ordered 2 kids meals (part of which we didn 't get) and 2 burgers for adults (again, part of which we didn 't get). We ordered the most basic, plain, laugable nachos I have ever seen for a shared starter. The nachos were served with very under ripe tomatoes, melted cheese and sour cream. For over £6, it is RIDICULOUS they are charging this. The kids starters were the size. Plain nachos with a side of tomato!?!?! Our burgers were laughable. I ordered the smothered chicken burger at £13... it was 3 goujons in a bap!!!!! Served with chips.... and no coleslaw as said in the menu. Husband was the same, items missing from his plate. The kids meals had gravy missing from theirs as well. The place was very quiet and yet they still didn 't manage to put the actual food on the menu, on the plate!!!! I should have known it was going to be a tight meal when I ordered mash potato only for the server to check if the kitchen had mash on today The carpet hadn 't been hoovered, tables hadn 't been cleared and staff who had as much life about them as a morgue. £55 down the drain and we will never ever be back. Absolute rip off.

We had a great deal at lunchtime 2 meals for £11.49!! I had the fish which was cooked to perfection, hot and crispy and the meal which was the cheese and onion pie with mash which was tasty and full of flavour. Shared a dessert between us caramel apple betty with custard which was delicious and finished lunch off perfectly. Staff were friendly and chatty. Would return.

Very pleasantly surprised! I was staying in the adjoining Premier Inn for 2 nights and booked the breakfast/dinner meal deal at this Brewer's Fayre so, an all you can eat cooked breakfast and an evening meal with sides, drink (including beer or wine) and a starter or dessert for £25. Sounded like good value, so I wasn't expecting a high standard. The evening meals were great though I tried the trio of pies one evening and the fish and chips the next night. Both were very enjoyable, with the fish being especially good (large, tasty, and not too thickly battered). Tartare sauce and mushy peas were excellent, and it was even served with lemon! Chicken wings for starter on the first evening and sticky toffee pudding for dessert on the second night, and both were good. The trio of pies was very enjoyable too. Good selection at breakfast time, with the food on each occasion served hot and in good time. Some of the staff were incredibly pleasant, with one particularly friendly waitress. Another one or two were a bit disinterested, but they didn't spoil my overall impression of the place.

We had a lovely evening. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated by a lovely lady called Sylvia who couldn’t have been more helpful. All of the staff were extremely friendly and inviting which made our visit enjoyable. Our food and drinks arrived quickly and were very tasty. Great spot

My daughter had recently had an accident and we were finding it very difficult to find somewhere that would accommodate to our needs and a friend recommended the Brewers Fayre restaurant. Upon arriving we explained our circumstances and they seated us in an area which was spacious and comfortable for my daughter. Ordered drinks and food at the bar. Food arrived piping hot and was great value for money. Great atmosphere and lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for us will be back.
