About This Pub
Ah, The Brecks Beefeater in Rotherham is one of those reliable pubs that you can pop into for a relaxed meal and come away feeling pretty chuffed. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are absolute stars – they're welcoming, helpful, and go out of their way to sort things like allergies or big bookings, which makes it feel like a proper friendly local. The food's a highlight too, with those daytime lunch offers being an absolute steal, letting you tuck into hearty options like fish and chips or a classic burger for under £8, and the breakfast is generous and wallet-friendly, especially if you're bringing the little ones along. It's got that family vibe down pat, with plenty of variety to keep everyone happy. On the downside, a few folks have noted that some dishes lack a bit of flavour or excitement, and there have been times when service wasn't quite on point, like mix-ups with orders that left people waiting. Still, with an overall solid rating and those affordable prices, it's a great shout for a casual catch-up or a quick bite – just keep expectations realistic for a chain pub, and you'll likely have a lovely time.

Firstly a big thank you and a massive well done to Lucy, Becks, Sammie and Rob taking a booking of 67 people was really hard work, the chefs all worked to their best ability they could and the food was lovely.it may have delayed the whole process and trying to keep up with the tables can be difficult. I hate watching people being set out to fail when they didn’t have enough time to get to everyone. People shouting in staffs faces really should put yourself in their shoes and understand how hard the hospitality industry really can be. The hotel and beefeater staff are so welcoming and accommodating we couldn’t fault them. Thank you keep smiling and keep doing what you do best. Writing this as an Assistant Manager myself 😉.
Love it here, very welcoming and food is great and such a great price!
I have a gluten intolerance and i was asked about allergies as soon as i was greeted (Which is very refreshing that i didn't have to raise it first)
Chris was helpful with finding us a suitable table for my family and I and took our orders swiftly.
I would recommend the Salmon!

Just been for breakfast with the kids, fabulous food and service as always. Amazing for the kids with lots of variety for the continental and never have to wait long for the cooked breakfast, which is tasty and very generous. Bargain price too as two children can eat for free with a paying adult.
Staff always helpful and can never do too much. Alison, Jess and Karen always very friendly and helpful.
Come here regularly for breakfast on Thursdays. Always very nice. Darren the chef always presents the food well. Alison always has a warm welcome and is very helpful. Great value for money. All you can eat for just over £10.
