Customer Review Summary
Burgers are the main draw at this Carterton spot, with several reviewers calling theirs the best they have had. Diners name the Fiery Burger as perfectly juicy and packed with flavor, one gives the FOMO burger a 10/10, and a couple singles out the Big Pig and Perfect Parm alongside the Pulled Pork Mac n Cheese, praising the softest, freshest buns. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, with the owners stopping to chat at one table. Others mention the cider on tap, the drinks selection, specials that keep the menu interesting, and a tasty breakfast. One reviewer praises the gluten free menu and the team's awareness of allergies, and another notes the place is clean and tidy with sheltered outdoor seating. The main criticism comes from one breakfast diner, who found a server abrupt, opening with an uninterested "what would you like" and no greeting, and who found the benches a little uncomfortable. Portions are generous enough that one birthday table had to bring food home, and a waitress gave another table tips on things to do nearby.

“My Wife and I stopped here for some lunch yesterday and to say we were impressed is an understatement. We’re pretty well travelled, and personally I’ve spent a lot of time travelling in the states but this was hands down, the best burger we’ve ever had. We ordered the Big Pig, Perfect Parm and the Pulled Pork Mac n Cheese! Absolutely delicious. The buns were the softest and freshest we’ve experienced and the flavour of the food was 10/10! All cooked to perfection. The couple who own the place were really friendly and we ended up having a good chat too. Honest, if you are in Carterton or the surrounding area, you have to visit Burgers & Brews, you won’t regret it!”

“My partner and I went to Burgers and Brews and were really really impressed!! The gluten free menu, awareness of allergies/intolerances was so good. We stumbled across the place when visiting the Cotswolds, well worth a visit. Couldn’t fault it.”
