Bramley Farm - Farmhouse Inns in Altrincham

Had the most horrendous food poisoning after ordering a carvery yesterday. Drinks and dessert were tasty but the meal was lukewarm. Staff were friendly.

Disappointing End to an Otherwise Enjoyable Sunday Brunch I recently visited Bramley Farm - Farmhouse Inns for Sunday brunch with family and friends and had mixed feelings about the experience. The ambiance was nice, the food was average and the FOH staff ( a small lady wearing glasses with dark hair) greeted us at the entrance and seemed unwelcoming. She gave us a small round table on the right of the entrance for 6 adults. I even asked her there were 6 of us as I saw four chairs were set up around the table. She gave us the menu and went off without saying a word about ordering at the counter. Anyway, all was going well with our brunch with friends until the visit took a disappointing turn. We were seated promptly and had our food and drinks. However, at no point when we were seated were we informed that our table had a strict time limit. Near the end of our brunch, we were abruptly told we needed to vacate the table—despite not being given any prior notice or warning. This left us feeling rushed and unwelcome, which put a damper on what had otherwise been a pleasant meal. I completely understand the need for turnover on busy days, but clear communication is key. Had we been informed about the time limit from the start, we could’ve planned accordingly. Lack of transparency and abrupt handling of the situation left a bad taste. I hope management improves their communication so future guests aren’t caught off guard.

We visited as a party of five adults at lunchtime midweek and all decided to go for the carvery based on family recommendations, I went for the large and the rest of the group went for regular. There were three meat choices - beef, turkey and gammon, all three were moist and tender with generous portions but for me the major draw for this carvery is the quality and range of vegetables and sauces - three different types of potatoes, yorkshire pudding ,broccoli, cauliflower cheese, carrots, red cabbage and a few other veggies - all seemed freshly cooked and not dried up. Value for money you can't knock it, I just wish we lived a little closer to the restaurant - you wouldn't get that value for money in the South East! The desserts were large portions and although we didn't try them there were some enormous slices of cake and specialty ice creams. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bramley Farm for a carvery with the other half, I must say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was exceptionally fresh, you could tell everything had been prepared with care. The three meats beef, turkey and gammon were all incredibly tender packed with flavour, each bite was a delight, the quality was evident in every cut! To my surprise, I even had the chance to taste some delicious crackling which was crispy and full of flavor, this was definitely an added bonus! What truly impressed me however was the overall value for money. For under £30 we both enjoyed two large carveries and two drinks. Given the quality of the food and the portion sizes along with the friendly helpful staff, it's great value and we will certainly be visiting Bramley Farm again in the very near future. Highly recommended!!

Very busy pub Children's play area was the reason we booked. Kids had a fabulous time. Carvery worth every £
