About The Brandon Works
On Merry St in Motherwell, close to a shopping centre, The Brandon Works serves breakfast until noon, with eggs and sausage on the morning menu, followed by lunch and dinner options that include an American style cheeseburger and fish and chips. Orders go in at the bar or through the app, and free refills on tea and coffee run all day. Real ales sit alongside craft beers, gins, and soft drinks. The pub takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and step-free access runs throughout, with baby changing facilities among the toilets. The building offers step-free access.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food and its value, with a breakfast of runny eggs and good sausage singled out. Others name a massive burger topped with spicy fried chicken, a pudding, and fish and chips with crispy batter. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, and several like ordering by app or at the bar, though one reviewer found the app would not confirm a food order unless connected to the pub wifi. Real ales split opinion. One reviewer calls it the only place for cask ale in town, with well kept choices and a Good Beer Guide entry, while another found the selection very limited and the staff unsure what was on draught. Other complaints are specific: a cheese burger with a single gherkin and a smear of red onion and ketchup, lukewarm fish, gents toilets that smelled a bit fragrant on a Saturday evening, and finished plates left on tables for ages.
