Brewers Fayre Windmill in Hastings

Went for the carvery. Seriously slow. Supposed to be 3 choice of meats but only 1. Then had to wait ages for vegetables so had a cold meal. Not impressed. But the kids play area was a big hit with my grandson

What a wonderful restaurant. A warm greeting from the duty manager who managed to find a table even though I didnt have a booking for the day. The menu was varied and the table service excellent. Glad to see good customer still exists in the restaurant trade. Happily make a return visit if even back in the neighbourhood.

Was disappointed that the fish pie was off the menu, so opted for the steak and ale pie, glad I did it was lovely. The restaurant was very clean, with good service. Would definitely go again. Ps we did have 50% off main meals, so even better.

One star because the staff we encountered were very sweet and are clearly overworked.Urine in the play area (which wasn't addressed by the management during our two hours in the restaurant), despite the height restrictions big kids dominated the play area, making it a bit intimidating for the little ones (and nothing said to parents by the staff) paint peeling off the walls, dust in the decorative cubby holes (which is pretty grim considering we're still in a pandemic and it's inches away from the table - clearly covid cleaning isn't happening here!), filth and gaffa tape on the ceiling, order came at different times, some orders were just wrong which the overworked staff just shrugged at, took 20mins to queue up and order food. Stale bread served with my starter. Took a photograph of the 'loaded' nachos... Everything was sticky to the touch. I have pretty low standards, but the whole thing felt a bit like a social experiment, I kept waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out, screaming 'punked'.I know it's cheap, so am not expecting Michelin star standards, but this was grim. I'll be shocked if we didn't catch covid during the time we were there...

We stayed at the adjacent Premier Inn for 3 nights, had breakfast each day and ate dinner there 3 times.I was a bit concerned as I'd read some bad reviews but I always like to make my own mind up.im so glad I did. The food was always hot and steak cooked exactly as requested. We had very little waiting time for meals.The Manager ,Rob was so helpful and ensured we were happy with our meals.He and all the staff were polite helpful and answered any queries readily.If we needed condiments these were brought to the table promptly. I have no complaints whatsoever.

Stayed in the Premier Inn, so decided to eat here as weather was terrible, so it was a quiet Saturday night, Plenty of tables available and service was quick, Reduced menu was disappointing, But we enjoyed our meals that was available, Found all staff, friendly, polite and helpful.

Brewers Fayre was attached to our hotel so we did the meal deal which worked out for us as a family..However…. The food was a big disappointment! I think everything was cooked from frozen. It didn’t have a fresh taste to the meals. I enjoyed one meal only and that was the fried breakfast on our last day.Breakfast 👎🏼I was disappointed and quite surprised that they didn’t cover any of the continental food for breakfast, and there were flies when I came to get a muffin. So I avoided it all!, I was hoping for some nice hot and fresh danishes, the bagel was rock hard as it had probably been out a while and with no cover on!. So unhygienic…🤢 would not recommend the continental breakfast unless you like rock hard bagels and flies on your food!.Fry up- was better on the 2nd day…Dinner- the first night we waited as we was confused about their system!.The second night we was sitting at the table for 2 hours for our meals to be served.. 👎🏼👎🏼 not great at all. We ended up not feeling hungry as it was so long!.Some of the staff were friendly..

The food was lovely however, we had to clear our own table and request our sweet, as the staff were far too busy talking behind the bar and there was a hair in one of the main meals. This is the 3rd time we have eaten here recently and will not be returning, as the service standard has dropped dramatically since reopening following Covid restriction relaxation!

I almost didn't go because of the reviews. I'm glad my wife and friends changed my mind. Wife and I travelled down to Hastings with another couple for a long weekend, and our friends booked the adjoining Premiere Inn hotel. We wanted a meal so the connected restaurant seemed logical BUT I saw terrible reviews. We decided to give it one try and if it was that bad, we would leave and go elsewhere. The staff were friendly. The food arrived quickly and was nice and hot. I had the mixed grill and it was great. My friend had lasagna, his wife had a sirloin steak and my wife had the smothered chicken. All meals were perfectly acceptable in taste and temperature. We also had breakfast each morning, again absolutely fine and we had another evening meal the next night, all great. I don't know if some customers have been 'picky' but we all enjoyed the food and the service.

Came in today (9:30 AM). 5 tables were occupied. Took about 7 minutes to be seated. No hello, no nothing, just have you scanned the code? We were shown to our table, waited 13 minutes for our order to be taken considering that the menu is all you can eat English breakfast or continental. Waited 20 minutes for the food to come. Food was good but that was the only good thing about the service today. Quantity of beans was subpar. Asked for more beans, took another 5 minutes only to come with a bowl with 10 more beans. Appalling service!
