The Brookmill

It's a scabby area, no mistake but this pub stands out as welcoming. It has a pleasant atmosphere and helpful, humorous bar staff. The food looks good. Frankly, it could do with a huge tidy up. A proper clean and decorate. That said, it's still better than alternatives.

We’ve stayed at The Brookmill a few times now and it truly feels like a home away from home. The staff are wonderful and make you feel so genuinely welcome. At Christmas it becomes something really special. The perfect UK Christmas vibes you want - magical, cosy, and beautifully festive. It’s one of those places you will always look forward to coming back to. Thank you

We held a 50th birthday party in the Hopper Room at the Brookmill and it was amazing. Jeremy and the team looked after us so well with faultless service. They were super flexible in enabling what we wanted to do in terms of lighting, music, and drink options, and were a pleasure to work with. Many thanks to you all.

The bar has a modern, dimly lit interior with leather stools and a long counter—pleasant without being flashy. I tried the classic Old Fashioned and a house gin fizz. The Old Fashioned was balanced, with a smooth whiskey base and the right amount of bitters. The gin fizz was light and citrusy, though the foam settled quickly. Both were served promptly. Cocktails were priced at £10–£12 each, which is standard for the area. The bartender was knowledgeable and mixed drinks efficiently, but conversation was minimal. It’s a decent spot for a relaxed cocktail if you’re nearby. No standout moments, but everything was solid. I’d return for another round.

The Sunday lunch is outstanding - big portions and good value for money. Service great. Would definitely recommend. I would have posted a photo but I’ve eaten my meal already!

Surprisingly, this turned out to be a really great pub. I honestly didn’t expect to find a decent one in my area, but on a hot day I stopped by for a meal and was impressed. The staff were wonderful - extremely polite, friendly, and helpful. They answered all my questions and gave excellent service. Big thumbs up to them. The food was also excellent. The burger was juicy and full of flavor, one of the best I’ve had in a while. I’m very glad I discovered this place and will definitely come back. Dog friendly.

Great pub, great rooms Easy check in and check out. Stayed for 2 nights. Comfortable and clean. Perfect for what we needed, stayed in room 1, was quiet at night, fan available, tea/coffee refilled, good shower. Would stay again! 10/10 would recommend

We frequently come here for food and events. Most of the time it’s a great evening out. Recently they have had live acts which includes community performances, which have been great including the Catapella Choir which was great to hear so many voices from area. They have a great drink selection including discounted cocktails. They have good nights like Steak and Chips for £10 on Thursday, and 2 burgers for the price of 1. They have a great big outside area too. Would definitely come back again and again. They also have their own loyalty card too.

Really nice pub. My first time in considering I live locally. It is not noisy. That bares mentioning because I've had enough of music blaring from eateries & disturbing the peace. It's a rustic decor & feels cosy. I like the spacing of tables too. Toilets are in very good order; always a good indicator of the overall hygiene of the place. Food was so good. We had the haddock fishcake & chicken wing skewers to start. My fav were the wings & the spicy, delicious sauce that accompanied them. Wish I had some now. Went for the classic burger and the salmon. Both get 2 yums up. The burger was cooked beautifully medium & nothing more was needed, not even salt or pepper; the accompaniments were great. Service with a smile & no hovering around. Yes, really nice pub. I'll be back!

Totally a fan of this place. Listing the reasons: - solid food ( I mean we were surprised with the options and quality) - dog friendly, which is huge on a cold night - great atmosphere - solid brews and cocktails - friendly and accommodating The only thing I'd say they could on is the reservation structure. In the bar area, we were told there were open tables but almost all were reserved, and marked in a not so obvious way. I think pubs in particular should always have a free-sitting area for those who amble in, but that's just me. We had to move around a few times in order to eat.

Very warm, newly refurbed bar with lots of character, striped wood floors, painted church pews. Luxurious and great attention to detail. Nice selection of draft ales, ciders and beers and it's worth having a glass of wine just for the glass! Cocktails on offer, but I cannot comment on quality of these... Good prices. Great place to snug away from the rain with friends.
