A wonderful selection of beers that are hand pumped and changed regularly and some really good pub food. Brewery Tap features a number of interesting hand pumped beers which rotate regularly, including their own Spitting Feathers selections. The Wavertonian beef pie is a classic pub dish, brimming with large chunks of beef and onions and with a wonderful gravy for... More

Yesterday we enjoyed a perfect pub lunch at the Brewery Tap. We had been wanting to go try the beer for a while and decided to have a spot of lunch whilst we were there. Not being very hungry, my husband and I shared a sandwich with a side of chips and a salad with which we were very impressed.... More

Having enjoyed their wide selection of beer on previous visits, we decided to have dinner on a recent visit. I had their beef and Old Wavertonian pie; delicious and full of beer gravy, it came with HUGE chips and a small pot of red cabbage. Only downside was, the gravy was gone before I'd finished my chips - a little... More

We visited this lovely pub for their food and ale, we were not disappointed, it was great. The place has a real buzz about it and if like me you like your ales it's got plenty to try. Their food was really nice, not expensive at all. I would recommend you give this place a go if you are ever... More

The Tap is always a great place to chill out and relax with a fine selection of real ales theat continually change. All are kept well. They also do a fantastic food, with their fish and chips my out and out favourite.

The only good thing about this place is the beer. Thought that The Brewary Tap was the place to go out for a good pub experience with a nice range of beers and tasty food. The beer was good, but the food was under average! Had the Braised beef and Old Wavertonian pie with red cabbage and fat chips. But... More

Visited 2 nights running as we were so impressed by our first visit. The food is very tasty, good portions and exceptional value for money. Throw in a fantastic selection of beers and what more can one ask for.
