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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Came here for a bit of brunch and did not disappoint. Very good value for money with the free drink refills and waffles at no extra charge. My first time trying a waffle and it was amazing, along with the cooked breakfast. Also a big...shoutout to Tom who was super friendly and explained the concept very clearly! Me and my friend both work in restaurants and were very impressed by his speed and care with the guests especially considering the place was full.More

Great visit here, greeted by a really enthusiastic and friendly guy who couldn't do enough for anyone. All the staff were really friendly and diligent. Tables clean and tidy and lots of choice for food items. I mean it's a breakfast buffet at the end...of the day, we enjoyed it!More

Revisited yesterday, the price is now very high unless you can eat your own weight in fry up food the value and appeal is lost. The staff ignored us during our visit and we were not thanked upon leaving. The food has lost its quality,...lacking in taste, the irange juice was thick and bitter as was the coffee. £15 with small change. I won't be going againMore

We were greeted by a very pleasant young woman who told us exactly how the cafe worked and showed us to our seats. Unfortunately there was no obvious information on gluten content of food, and no gluten free bread, Or alternatives to the waffles, etc...so one of us was very limited in choice. The bacon was extremely salty to our taste and we felt the meal was expensive for what we had - but if you had a huge appetite you might be able to eat your way up to value-for-money.More

Came here with my parents for a delicious Bank Holiday treat after hearing such rave reviews from them. To say I was not disappointed was an understatement. The food was fresh, tasty and hot, whilst also being constant and never having to wait for more...to come out. The waffles were fluffy and so many toppings to choose from. With this being said, the highlight was from the service provided! There were 2 front of house and the chefs working non stop to ensure all customers were seated and full and happy. I never saw any of them stop for even a moment. Service like this is hard to find in so many places. Brodys is definitely value for money and a great place to visit. Thank youMore

Really nice concept but unfortunately as buffets can be, the food wasn’t the hottest or freshest There wasn’t the biggest selection of breakfast items but definitely a good selection and the DIY waffles were great. Better coffee would improve it I imagine when it is...it’s really nice but I’d just have liked things a little hotterMore

Although there is an abundance of fresh items try finding a seat...! Best time to go is once all the students have retired home otherwise you may have a long wait.

Greeted by a charming young lady. Impressive choices for everyone at breakfast. I am a fan of breakfast food all day; this place was just marvelous. Free refills, help yourself. Very artfully set out with nice design features and quirky food service options. Cant recommend...it enough - if you remember this is a serve-yourself buffet not a high-end hotel making breakfast to order. I will be back.More

No. I don't actually think they take advance bookings. We queued outside but got a table really quickly.
