It is a great venue, the service is excellent and staff friendly and professional, food is always delicious - I have noticed the portion sizes vary though.
My family and I are vegan, so it's important that we can trust the information we're given about the food being served. We also have allergies in our family, which makes accurate answers especially important.
My wife politely asked the chef whether the sausages were the vegan/vegetarian option. Rather than receiving a straightforward answer, the chef responded, "Looks like it, doesn't it?" with a dismissive attitude.
We weren't asking for the sake of it—we were trying to ensure the food met our dietary requirements. Given that allergies and food intolerances can have serious consequences, we were surprised by the response, particularly from the chef.
A simple and professional confirmation would have been appreciated. The interaction left us feeling uncomfortable and reluctant to ask further questions about our food.
We hope this feedback is taken seriously, as customers should be able to ask about ingredients and dietary requirements without being made to feel like they're inconveniencing staff.

food is good for the price, as it was buffet breakfast, no need for service but the lady that showed us to the table was nice
Visited Willen Dragon Brewers Fayre recently and had a very enjoyable meal with the family. The restaurant was busy but still felt relaxed, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. We were seated quickly and did not have to wait long for our food.
The menu has plenty of choice and there is something for everyone. We ordered a mix of pub classics, including burgers, fish and chips and some starters to share. Everything arrived hot, well presented and tasted great. Portion sizes were generous and good value for money, especially considering current restaurant prices.
The atmosphere was pleasant and family friendly, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The restaurant was clean, tables were cleared promptly and the whole place felt well looked after. It is also in a great location near Willen Lake, so it is an ideal stop after a walk or a day out with the kids.
Overall, a really positive experience. Good food, friendly service and reasonable prices. We left full and happy, and would definitely visit again when we are back in the area.
It’s a real shame… I was sat outside on what looked like number 8 (one of the sheds) waited 30 mins for food that didn’t turn up, went to ask and apparently there is no number 8 outside, they for some reason have blocked off the number with a barcode. I was booked onto the aqua park which I was also very late for due to waiting 40 minutes for food and once I finally got it, the portions are very small compared to what they use to be like 😔
