We really enjoyed our meal at Beef and Brew. The steaks were great, I really loved the hollandaise and truffle sauce that I ordered with mine. The sides were so tasty and well thought out. I’d definitely visit again and it’s better value that the big chains and just as good.

Great steaks and food at 2/3 the price what we would normally pay for this. The ambiance is super relaxed and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We even ordered extra sausage rolls (starter) to take home as one of our kids loved them so much. Will be coming back soon.

The staff were good but we all had burgers and they were pretty awful. We asked for as medium rare as they could allow but they were dry and over cooked and the bun was too messy and the bacon was soft not crispy. Very disappointing considering the quality of burgers available these days. The sides were ok.

Bad experience at Beef and Brew . The service was really really poor, long wait, no smile and the waitress didn’t even know which beer she was bringing at the table. The food was really disappointing. We were not asked if we wanted a desert so had no chance to order one . Would not recommend this restaurant

Nice burgers as always but it feels like maybe its time to add another couple of burger choices.. Chicken maybe or lamb. I like the brisket starter which would be nice with salad as a main.

Visited on weekend with a friend. Whilst the cost of the food was good value I feel the drinks were not very good. Also the steak was not cooked to order and when we challenged the waiter he tried to palm us off by saying it was only over cooked around the edges however the steak was well done rather then medium rare as was requested. Any other restaurant would have apologised and given us another but we were made to feel guilty. Unfortunately we will not be visiting again.

Amazing steaks and such great value! Only issue is that it's really noisy and the chairs don't have caps on them to stop them scrapping the floor which is so loud. The waitresses needed to speak up, couldn't hear them at all!

We had dinner here over the weekend, service was absolutely amazing, the staff are very friendly and chatty and our waitress couldn’t do enough for us. Food was unreal, as a vegetarian I thought the gnocchi with jalapeños was amazing! My girlfriend had the hangar steak which she said was incredible. Hope to come back soon, great place!

This was the worst meal I've had in a long time. The waiter recommended the sirloin, which, when it arrived, was strange tasting and so overly-chewy it was impossible to eat. When I called the waiter over to send it back, he apologised, saying 4-5 other diners had also complained about this cut of meat - so why had he then recommended it? They replaced it with a burger, which was an overcooked thin grey pattie served on a bun smothered with mayo and cheese, even though I had asked for no mayo - there was so much grease I had to wash my hands twice. My friend's chicken tasted watery and he felt ill a couple of hours later. Terrible restaurant - don't go there!!

The steak was delicious, cooked perfectly medium rare, and a great value! Loved the chips too. However, my dining companions ordered burgers and unfortunately the rules around beef having to be well done meant the patty was way too dry. I would certainly recommend the steak over the burger for that reason.
