Brewers Fayre Minehead – Visit 25th February 2026
We visited on 25th February 2026 and ordered two meals from the meal deal menu, which, at £5 each, initially appeared to be good value.
However, the experience was completely overshadowed by what can only be described as an appalling starter. My brother, who is currently recovering from a recent stroke and heart attack and therefore cannot manage a large meal, ordered the *Crispy Prawns served with sweet chilli mayo* (£5.99). What was presented to us was frankly disgraceful. The prawns were in a shocking state — poorly cooked, unappetising in appearance, and utterly unacceptable to serve to any customer.
There is simply no excuse for food leaving a kitchen in that condition. It was, without exaggeration, dreadful.
When we raised the issue with staff, their response was dismissive and indifferent. There was no genuine concern, no apology of any substance, and certainly no effort made to rectify the situation in a satisfactory manner.
To make matters worse, the premises themselves were scruffy both inside and out, with litter visible around the property. The overall impression was one of neglect and a clear lack of care for customers or standards.
This visit was deeply disappointing, and based on this experience, we will not be returning.
