The Old Cannon Brewery Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food is OK, and though meals are tasty, they are striving too much to be 'in vogue' (or whatever) with bijou servings."
• "Home made beer tasted great."
• "The food was all a bit over cooked, mushy vegetables except the broccoli which was barely even blanched."
• "The menu is a little different to your traditional pub food. Lobster was on the menu but they didn't actually have any."
• "Food was good. Very generous portions and reasonably priced too."
• "The evening meal was delicious."
• "The food at the Old Cannon Brewery was well presented and truly mouthwatering."

Cons:

• "The burger wasn’t a burger at all, more like a tiny portion of gristly beef stew in a very stale bun."
• "Well not very impressive food expensive for what it is."
• "Their real ales are awful. Best Bitter tasted like colored water, honestly."
• "Normally a good place to eat but avoid at all costs for Christmas Day Lunch."
• "Many things were not available on the menu."
• "Once again, vegetarians have been very much ignored by the chef when he wrote the menu."

• "Such unfriendly staff. I popped in for one and certainly didn’t want another."
• "Really shocked at how unaccommodating the staff were."
• "However, having paid at the bar and upon leaving, we were hollowed at once up the road by a staff member asking us if we had paid, which was both embarrassing and unprofessional."
• "Dreadful service, was booked to stay in the Cannon guest rooms for three nights as working in the area."
• "Breakfast service was very slow, we waited an hour at the table for two meals and there was no apology."
