My review is for the conference facilities at this venue. We went as a group of 15 and were very impressed with the facilities. We arrived st 12.45 and were greeted and shown to our meeting room by the lovely girls on the reception. The room was immaculate with plenty of bottled water and notepads and pencils laid out on the table. There was also a large container of coffee and a big assortment of tea bags laid out for us. Lunch wad brought to us at 1pm - an assortment of sandwiches and wraps, salad and a huge bowl of the best chips I have tasted for ages! Everything we needed for our meeting was provided-they seem to be very accommodating with equipment,etc and although our party was small, they do have facilities for much greater numbers. I have to mention the toilet facilities-they were so clean and well equipped(for the ladies,anyway). We did not have time for the tour on this occasion but there were lots of nice things to purchase in the shop in the reception area. I know we will definitely use this venue again and have already passed the information to our colleagues in other departments with our recommendation. Personally, I will be returning with family to do the tour and have a meal in the restaurant.
My husband and I had a tour of Robinsons Brewery and found our guide Barry made the whole tour very interesting and well worth a visit .
We started with a lovely lunch in the Restraunt with a nice pint. We then did the 1.30am tour with our guide Barry. He was great. Very knowledgeable and made beer making interesting. My wife is not a beer drinker but she still enjoyed the day especially the horses. We had a good chat in the bar afterwards and sampled some of Robinsons products. Would recommend this to anyone.
We really enjoyed our tour of the brewery - our tour guide Barry was top notch. A great overview of the brewing process, a look at the machines and we even got to taste the malt. A taster of 3 different beers in the restaurant afterwards finished things off nicely. The food looked good too but we didn't try that on this visit. Nicely stocked shop with interesting souvenirs and we even got to see the shire horses. Would very much recommend.
Took my dad on the tour he is a bit of a beer fan . The tour guide was Barry you certainly knew his stuff very friendly and professional an asset to the company. Loved seeing all the machinery old and new . And seen all the process . Wen The tall finished we tried the different beers. And had a meal in the lovely restaurant. The chilli con Carney was awesome. Dad had a steak baguette what he loved to to. Definitely will have to take my mum and stepdad. And will go back just for food as well.
The Robinson’s brewery Visitor Centre was built in 2013 to a very high spec. with a small museum and smart cafe/ bar, located in Stockport town centre walking distance from the shops and Town Hall. The brewery itself is also recently renovated and updated. Barry gave a brilliant tour with lots of anecdotes and historical and local context, and access to all the stages of the brewing process, and a tasting of three third-pints at the end. Good views across Stockport en route through the building. Note there are lots of stairs and no lift! There might be a chance to see the shire horses including Trooper (named after their latest successful beer). The cafe itself does great coffee, meals and snacks, and Robinson’s beer, of course, at a reasonable price with efficient friendly service. Nice beer too!
Menu was excellent both in choice, quality and value £5 to £10. Beer choice excellent, staff very helpful and informative . Comfortable contemporary surroundings
We received a voucher for the visit from a relative, so were not sure what to expect. The whole visit was well managed from arrival to departure. The Guide was very helpful, knowledgable and plain speaking and made the tour very interesting. The Centre serves beer in handy glasses which allow you to taste several different brews. (Pints are also available) and if like me you are driving then you can exchange the tokens you receive on entry for bottles to take home. Though we did not eat in the restaurant reports we got from diners told us that the food is excellent and good value. The Centre is well worth a visit, the price list we saw seem to make it good value.
I bought my boyfriend the 'Golden ticket' as a present and we had a great time. The museum is clean, airy with a nice ambience. Staff are lovely and friendly. Tour was really interesting and informative - our tour guide Barry was enthusiastic and friendly. The tour lasted for about 1 and a half hours! We really enjoyed our third pint samples - I'm not a beer drinker and thoroughly enjoyed the beers! We had a late lunch at the restaurant aftwr the tour. Really enjoyable and food lovely. All in all a perfect saturday :-)
I've done a few breweries and this is by far the best. The tour was perfectly paced and the information passed cleverly set at a level that will interest and entertain at any knowledge level. The whole place is spotlessly clean and safe meaning a full tour without any risk of getting dirty or hurty. Then into the bar for excellent food (at sensible prices) and a few pints of top-notch ale that was brewed mere feet away from where you're sitting. This tour is worth every penny and should not be missed - even if you don't like beer.
