Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

When we enquired thirty minutes after ordering our lunch as to how much longer our meals would be - we were told “standard wait time is 45 minutes”. Had we been informed of the “standard 45 minute wait”, when we first arrived, we could have made an informed decision as to whether to stay or leave.
When our meals finally arrived - 2 burgers, ciabatta roll and onion rings, it was cold. After waiting for so long with hungry children - sending food back was not an option.
Complete disappointment.

The wifi was shocking, they have about 15 different wifi names and none of them work. If you decide to book a rom and stay the night you will have to use your mobile data because the internet doesn’t work all they way up in the room. But overall the food and drinks where very good

Loved visiting this Brewhouse. Stopped in to the newly built Tasting Room and was greatly with friendly and knowledgeable service, exceptional beers (in both variety and quality). A great space and a great experience.

Staying close by our friends said a visit to the Holgate Brewhouse was needed. Great setup and very busy. Walking thru the bar/dining area the food looked very good. Time was we couldn't partake. We went into the tasting room and were lucky enough to get a table just vacated. 2 gins and a tasting paddle after a bit of waiting lined up proved very good. Beers were good as were the gins. This looked to me as a gold mine for the owners and the town.

Decided to stop in for a late lunch with my husband.
The service was terrible! Took a long time to take our drink order which should have been our first sign that the service was going to be incredibly poor.
Finally took our lunch order and whilst the lunch came out in a timely manner my husband had the Parma which left a lot to be desired.
Following this we finished our meals and wanted a nice dessert however not one person came to ask if we wanted another drink or to order dessert, so we left.
Very disappointing!

Rude owner
Manager useless
Owner seems like she hates general public, and if there is anything that doesn't go her way she must smite it.
Staff were lovely and IN TOTAL FEAR OF OWNER.
Don't give them your business, there are many other amazing places and beers on offer.

Very small takeaway menu (which is good) and matched with excellent food and at an affordable price. I have been price gouged at this hotel before with some awful food. During the COVID-19 period the hotel has clearly looked at matching taste and demand. Food was ready on time for pick up and well presented and hot.

Although the room was quite comfortable and the view of Mt. Macedon was scenic, the amount of extraneous noise was disturbing. Loud music was heard until midnight (not sure from whence it came) and doors to adjoining rooms slammed repeatedly. Perhaps there was a poltergeist in the hotel!! The breakfast provided in the room was rather basic too. Perhaps this establishment should concentrate on brewing and not concern itself with accommodation as well.

Had a beer and a glass of wine in the new brewhouse part evidently recently opened.
Front old bar was really busy but managed to get a seat outside at the new part. Good beer, reasonable prices. Did not eat but all the food looked good and pleantifull.

I've been coming to Holgate for 4 years, the beers are good, especially the ESB, in fact that's the only one I drink its that good. The food has always been average for the price, the ambiance is OK, sometimes they have a live band, without the band it lacks ambience, being an old build and owing to the lack of light in the beer garden. Why the one star? The owner is just rude, multiple occasions, and it's just a shame when you take pride in your local businesses. As the old Chinese proverb goes..“A man without a smiling face must not open a shop.”
