   No one near restaurant door to show us our table, but other than that very attentive. Roast dinners for 4 all arrived quickly after ordering, but felt food should have been a tad hotter, but it was delicious. Will book again.

   As per usual, good value pub food, good service and lovely ambience However, the pork belly was not crispy enough and too fatty The fish pie was excellent and the deserts were fine

   The Bricklayers ArmsResponded on 4 May 2022

   Apologies about the crackling on the pork belly, it normally comes up really crispy! Glad you enjoyed the rest of the meal. Many thanks for the feedback. Andy

   The Service was really lovely, thoughtful, i have coeliac disease so i really notice how attentive the staff are to my allergy and it helps me to feel more confidant that the staff and the chef know their stuff. The three of us enjoyed our meals which were served attentively. The Atmosphere was for me perfect genuine friendliness, staff seemed happy and relaxed. the restaurant was clean and had good country décor, not done up like an advert, but someone had taken care to chose the right touches, and leave well alone. My cottage pie was GF and really tasty the other two enjoyed their Roasts, considering it was end of service, they looked really fresh and tasty, i think the Chef deserves a big well done, as so many end of service Sunday roasts end up looking like end of service dinners. Nothing was too much to ask for, lovely bar burble going on reminding you you were in a pub, which i really like. The Manager not sure what his name was, had just the right touch of availability to customers, a genuine smile, creating a relaxed atmosphere for staff and guests.. i would end up a regular if i lived nearby !. Don't really want it to get too popular as it might not be the same, ho ho, so remember i didn't say it was perfect, just perfect to me (:

   1st time to have dinner in the bricklayers and after always hearing great reviews we were dissapointed. My burger was very rare in the middle. My husbands chicken and ham pie was nice but the sauce was very thin. Servers were excellent though.

   The Bricklayers ArmsResponded on 4 May 2022

   Apologies about your burger, this should not have happened. Did you mention anything to the staff at the time as I wasn't made aware of anything and we would have been more than happy to replace the meal. Hopefully this hasn't put you off visiting again. Andy

   Glad you enjoyed your meal and thanks for all your support over the years. It was a hard decision to make but after 14 years at the pub I feel it is time for a change and a chance to spend some more quality time with my family. Andy

    We felt as a group of adults, that the quantity of food for a Sunday roast was poor even though it tasted lovely. We were expecting to have a larger quantity of vegetables and roast potatoes to go with the meat - (2 roast potatoes, 1 slice of carrot and parsnip with a teaspoon quantity of Broccoli and Cabbage per person in our opinion isn't sufficient)...

    The Bricklayers ArmsResponded on 27 April 2022

    Good morning, I can only apologise that the portion size was not adequate on this occasion, we normally get numerous comments about our portions being too big so it is rather disappointing to hear this. Did you mention this to a member of staff at the time as we are always happy to offer more potatoes and vegetables complimentary when needed. I can only hope this doesn't put you off trying us again. Kind regards Andy

    Smashing pub/restaurant with a big lake on its doorstep. Welcome was warm. Service was friendly, efficient and prompt but not pushy. My companion is gluten intolerant and the team made every effort to point out the GF dishes and those for which a 'work around' could be offered (this is on the menu also). Starters were lovely, well presented and good sized portions ( Mozarella salad and caesar salad with small dry white anchovies (not swimming in oil!!)) Mains were also hearty with the fish pie just outpointing my delicious and complex Chicken burger with a bacon and brie twist. On the ambience, I think the acoustics are a little unfortunate as the low ceilings promote noise from other tables' conversations travelling down the room which in turn leads to a 'competition' as others raise their voices in turn. But apart from that niggle, a thoroughly enjoyable lunch experience !!

    The Bricklayers ArmsResponded on 24 April 2022

    Really appreciate your lovely review and I will pass your comments on to the team. I totally understand what you are saying about the acoustics! Unfortunately if you get a loud table in the room if can unfortunately carry through out but this seems to be only on the odd occasion. Andy

    As a coeliac it can be quite difficult to find somewhere to cater for gluten free. The staff bought me a menu showing me all dishes that they could adapt for me and the choice was fabulous. All 4 meals were excellent. Staff were very friendly and service was great. Would definitely recommend and will be going back sometime soon.

    ENJOYED OUR FIRST TIME AT THE BRICKLAYERS. I HAD PIE WHICH WAS A LITTLE DRY (ON HINDSIGHT I SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR SOME MORE GRAVY). SERVICE AND STAFF EXCELLENT HAPPY/SMILING AND NOTHING TOO MUCH TROUBLE. NICE TOUCH WITH BOTTLED TAP WATER (NICELY CHILLED !)

    My first ale was cloudy. It happens with real ale. Exchanged without a blink. If you want to go where the food and drink, and you matter, look no further. We will return. Book though, it’s understandably popular.

    I have eaten here many times over the years so was confident about recommending it to my girlfriends as somewhere to have a good meal in lovely surroundings for my birthday. We weren’t disappointed. Food was excellent as I knew it would be, waitress was friendly and attentive without feeling she was hovering, we felt relaxed and unrushed and enjoyed a delicious meal and a good old catch up.

    Always a very friendly welcome here and the food is consistently good. Was only disappointed that on booking I had mentioned that it was for a birthday celebration but this was not acknowledged in any way. Not expecting bottles of wine but a candle in the dessert would have been a nice touch.

    Glad you enjoyed the food and apologies regarding the service, unfortunately we had a couple of staff off sick on the Saturday so had a couple of new staff step in for the day.
