Curious Brewery Reviews Summary

Booking and Location

Pros:

• "It’s easy to book a table."
• "Car parking was plentiful."
• "The brewery is well positioned in the town with great outside spaces."
• "Very modern brewery about 5 minutes walk from main railway station."
• "Free parking though if busy you might struggle to find a space."

Cons:

• "Parking was full, yet the restaurant was quiet."
• "Quite irritated - went to visit curious brewery - as it it a nice venue for a Saturday afternoon glass of wine but after parking and walking to bar we were turned away because of a private party."

Food and Drink Quality

Pros:

• "Had a chicken burger - probably the best I’ve ever had."
• "We then ordered fish and chips and Caesar salad, together with focaccia bread, and everyone was very happy with the food."
• "I would love to recommend curious brew lager beer. Food is very affordable, very delicious and well presented."
• "The burger and brownie was excellent, the puff pastry apple pie was a bit average as it was burnt but they took that off the bill."
• "Had a very nice pizza and a couple of pints of bibble beer, again a very nice beer."

Cons:

• "The chicken was so overcooked it was like an old piece of hard rubber."
• "The menu is not geared for children."
• "The risotto looked like wallpaper paste and the gravy on the sausage and mash was just bisto, very watery."
• "We had the steak £28 - £30.00. We were then told 10 minutes later that we were not able to have steaks as they were being saved for a big table later that evening."
• "The vegan burger was the worst I have ever tasted."

Service

Pros:

• "Service was good and the waitresses were friendly and pleasant."
• "The entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging."
• "We had a great night, it was busy and had a nice atmosphere. The staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble."
• "The waitress made sure I knew how it was served before I ordered."
• "Our guide, Del, was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour fun."

Cons:

• "We sat at our table for 15 minutes with no menus."
• "The service was poor and no follow-up on our food as we left it."
• "The service however is a different story. We arrived at 7pm having booked online, and the man who came over said he couldn't find our booking."
• "We ordered our very expensive drinks (£8.50 for a glass of Prosecco) and browsed the limited menu while waiting for our other guests to arrive. When they did arrive again no one came over to take a drinks order so again we went to the bar."
• "The waitress never opened up a smile, hardly even noticed us."
