Farmers Gastropub is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Springfield -- and it's not particularly close. What sets it apart is consistency and care. Every detail feels intentional, from the food to the service to the overall experience. You can tell it's run by people who genuinely care about what they're doing, and it shows every single time. The menu leans a bit British at times -- you'll see things like bangers and mash -- but more than anything, it's just relentlessly high-quality food done right. I've been going here for years, and it never slips. That kind of consistency is rare. It also strikes a great balance: arguably the nicest restaurant in town, but still comfortable enough that you don't feel out of place in a t-shirt. If you're in Springfield and want the best overall dining experience, this is it. read more

Very dissatisfying, i got the paper airplane which was good. Asked about the Bangers and Mash and the staff oh it's very good. Only good if you like sodium loaded onion gravy. A pile of mash potatoes (mine were cold). The sausages was a typical sage sausage. Very disappointed and left without eating the meal. read more

We had to run to Springfield to charge the car. I found the Farmers Gastropub on this app, and the food was very good. Gluten free is marked in the menu, no separate menu. The waitress we had was very nice and asked the kitchen questions for me. We ordered the Scotch Egg and the Parm fries, both were really good. They have a dedicated fryer for GF. For dinner both my husband and myself ordered the fish and chips. We both liked our dinner, I was so full from the apps, I only ate one filet (they bring you 2). They have Crème Brûlée for a GF dessert and Paul had Sticky Toffee Pudding ( not GF). We both left stuffed and happy. The decor was all England themed.they have a painter wall near the women's bathroom with Big Ben, HP, 007, Buckingham Palace. The Beatles, Queen Elizabeth, Manchester United, and a few other English items. read more

My wife and I have gone to GastroPub on Glenstone for over nine years and loved the fish and chips. We went today and the sizes of the fish were literally like glorified fish sticks. It used to actually be a 6 ounce filet for small order and two six ounce filets for large. Now they are only three ounces each. This is per the manager I talked to today. Used to love this place. Now, More breading than fish. Very disappointing.... Not coming back read more

This was our first time to this place and it didn't disappoint. My husband and I split a scotch egg for an appetizer - it was cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the shrimp tacos and I got the fried chicken mac-and-cheese (minus the peas). We were pleasantly surprised with the spice levels in both dishes (we both grew up in Louisiana), and neither entree was bland at all. We will definitely be visiting this restaurant again (next time we're in Springfield.). read more

I love the mushroom soup and the cottage pie! The ambience is that of an English Pub. Service and atmosphere is very good. I definitely recommend Gastropub! read more

Ordered Brussels Sprouts and Mac n Cheese w/ blackened chicken. Brussels sprouts were great. But it went downhill from there. Mac n Cheese has almost no cheese. Chicken is not blackened at all. Not to mention, there is less than 1.5oz of chicken. And you charged an extra $6 dollars for chicken that's not blackened and not even a full serving of chicken (4-6oz would be reasonable) May try again, but I've seen lots of other poor reviews also around quality of food. If I try again, I'll add another review. read more

Fantastic restaurant! Delicious food and excellent service (and they don't add a credit card fee!!!!) I LOVE that the fryer is dedicated gluten free! You will love your dining experience at Farmers Gastropub! read more

The best peas I've ever had! They came with the bangers and mash. My son had the lamb burger special and it was so good. The next time we went they had the same special and I would get it again and again. Great place and food. read more

Absolutely amazing food and drink. Cod was perfectly cooked, seasonal old fashioned was totally well balanced. Great experience! The service was spot on and and old pub atmosphere was welcoming. read more

You should have the Hugo spritz it has a hint of mint it is refreshing, and it is very herbaceous. The fish and chips with coleslaw: the coleslaw has ranch and it tasted tangy with a good crunch. The fish and chips also have a good crunch. The breading soaked in the flavor, and was amazing. The fries were mixing chewy with crunchy and had wonderful spices. read more

The food here definitely did not disappoint. The scotch eggs were perfectly cooked, which is not easy to do. The fish and chips were wonderful as well. The fry on the fish was perfect, nicely seasoned. The service was incredible. Everybody was super nice and had good knowledge of the menu. The patio is the place for lunch on a pretty day. read more

Come hungry, Leave hungry and BROKE... Ordered : Fish N' Chips - $18.50 Kids Chicken tenders - $10.00 Butter Chicken Curry - $17.50 Side salad with grilled Chicken - $12.00 My 15 year old son ordered the fish n chips. When he saw the plate, he was suprised at how little there was. A single fillet (approximately 4.5" by 2") and a handful of fries with a small bowl of slaw. Fish and fries had all been cooked in OLD OIL (wife ran restaurants in Florida and knows these things). When we visited a year ago, we had the option of one fillet or two, FOR THE SAME PRICE. The food was really good. But yesterday, Ive had better fish n chips from Long John Silvers. My wife ordered the Buttter Chicken Curry for $17.50. Again disappointed. Approximately 1/4 cup of shredded chicken, 1/4 cup of white rice. Bland, cardboard flavored chicken with a pita cut in half was what she got. You can do better buying Pataks Butter Chicken and making it yourself. You would think for these prices, you would get more. But no. Smallest portions I've had in a very long time and the taste was almost unbearable. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. read more

One of the best places in town to get a high quality meal with a down-to-earth feel! The restaurant supports local farms, local and seasonal ingredients, and has a seasonal menu. So every 3-4 months the menu changes (with a few solid staples remaining the same). Always a great time and good food! After traveling abroad to Scotland in 2019, this is the go-to for the best British/Scottish food in Springfield. Anytime I'm craving, this is where I go! This last time I went to Farmers Gastropub, I ordered a scotch egg, cream of mushroom soup, and fish & chips with peas. The Scotch Egg is perfect every time. Crispy sausage outside, perfectly cooked egg on the inside, and the mustard and relish is always divine. 5/5 stars. This was the first time I tried the cream of mushroom soup. Very savory, but also slightly tangy. The mushrooms were very well blended and not noticeable at all with texture (a bummer for me, but for others I'm sure that's welcome news). 4/5 stars. As always, the Fish and Chips never fails. Crispy battered fish, freshly cut fries, and perfectly cooked peas. The fries automatically come with ketchup - a big no-no across the pond, but here it's standard. You are given the choice of vinegar or tartar sauce. All things considered it is the fish that shines. 5/5 stars. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. And the vibe is casual, homey, and friendly. Everything you want out of a pub. Overall 5/5 stars and I'll for sure be back. read more

I came to Farmers gastropub for the second time and ordered the lunch special fried chicken sandwich with a side of cream of mushroom soup. Mushroom SoupThe chicken sandwich was out of this world and I can't highly recommend it enough! The cream of mushroom soup was amazing as well. My dad had the banana bread french toast with whipped cream and pecans and it was excellent. Fantastic lunch and I highly recommend Farmers gastropub. read more

Unique venue and the food was pretty tasty. Looked like a great place to go for a drink after work!

Service was decent food was terrible. Scotch egg was over seasoned and just tasted like peppercorns. Main courses was very bland nasty everything tastes like it was previously frozen and just warmed up mashed potatoes taste like box potatoes. It disgust me even talking about it read more

Fantastic eclectic food and a fast charger. What more can you ask for. Great cider on tap too. Service was excellent, especially since we were from out of town and asking about other places to try. They even held on to my leftovers when I forgot them. The pub feel is nice as well. Quiet and cozy. read more

Scotch egg was great! Flavor in the zucchini noodles under the salmon was amazing. Great service read more

The salad was without the variety of complimentary produce, when they said kale they meant kale. Caesar dressing was bland and unappealing. Will not be returning since this is strictly a mom and pop operation. read more

Ambiance is nice. Food is delicious but it is a very limited menu. Wait staff are attentive.

Wednesday lunch, 1pm, ate alone. Half capacity, at best, and the waitress service was sloth-like. Ordered chicken/bacon sandwich w fries...absolutely bland chicken filet. Looked like the mock videos on TikTok of YT people cooking without any seasoning. The only flavors were the bacon and mayo. Completely underwhelming and uninspired. Fries were decent. Bathrooms 7/10. First visit, but won't try it again. $20 (incl tip and soda). read more

Five stars all the way around. Best food I've had since moving to Springfield in December. Excellent!

Giving this place 3 stars, some aspects qualifying for a 4 star rating. I wasn't entirely comfortable with the safety aspect during this time of Covid. I know, shame on me for indoor dining but it was too rainy and cold to dine outside. The entrance way/waiting area is tight so it's impossible to avoid close proximity with others, and, there is no way that tables are 6 feet apart. The place was fairly packed with diners and staff. Our waiter was jovial and friendly.(4 stars). We started with the brussel sprout appetizer (4 stars), it was a huge portion and packed with flavor. My husband had fish and chips which were average and they were out of the side he wanted (mashed peas). I wanted the kale/falafel sandwich but on the naan instead of the usual bread. I was happy that my waiter said he always makes that switch for himself. When my dish and side salad came they looked a little smallish and sad- enough to fill me up but they just didn't look ultra appetizing on the plate. Anyway, each of those items were fair to middling. 4 stars also for having a fair number of vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian options. read more

Good vibes, great burger! Delicious sirloin smash burger with fresh cut fries. I'm always looking for fresh and healthy ingredients that also taste great. I really appreciate the gluten free bun!!! Finally gluten free showing up in Springfield. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu. read more

I went here because some I knew hyped this place up. The server was great. The food wasn't my favorite though. I tried their Gumbo special and the Scotch egg. Both were a bit disappointing. My friend that was with me tried the Fried Chicken Miso mac and cheese, which she enjoyed. I thought it was just okay. Perhaps I ordered the wrong things and had too high of expectations so I might return. read more

Every meal here is a treat. Fresh ingredients, creative combinations, a great atmosphere and an extensive drink menu. This is one of our favorite places. Everything from brunch, lunch and dinner is great. The outdoor dining area is great for social distancing and the specials are delicious. read more

I have enjoyed several dishes at this establishment. The mushroom soup and seared cod is amazing. I did however have an unfortunate incident when I took my daughter. She ordered the steak burger and it was served to her rare. She requested it to be cooked through. The server popped off that it was a steak burger, took it to the kitchen and brought it back rare again. During the same visit I got fried fish with doughy batter. After being treated rudely I just paid the check and left. I haven't been back since. read more

This review is a few years overdue. I love this restaurant. The first time I ate here, the location was still downtown. I had fish & chips and the mashed peas and fell in love! I've been here a couple other times and usually always get the fish & chips. Their Scottish eggs are always delicious too! Service is top notch, beer selection is top notch, and everything my husband & I have had is always delicious. They locally source most of their ingredients, which will always win me over! They change their menu seasonally as well which is wonderful. Gastropubs are my favorite, and this one is a real gem in the Springfield food scene! read more

Great Smash Burger! Great atmosphere! Great service! Definitely love the daily specials.

I really enjoy this strip mall pub, with a British flair and the best damn burger in Springfield. The cocktails are tasty, the staff is friendly, the place is clean, and the food is delicious. read more

Stumbled across this place while in town for a concert. Great menu full of awesome choices. The wait staff was great and took good care of us while we ate. Very compartmentalized dining areas within the rather large restaurant that allows for a rather intimate dining experience. Will definitely visit again read more

Had this review in my draft box for a while - b/c I've had really good experiences and then just meh and okay ones. Things to Note: 1) Follow their instagram. When I see the special of the day - makes me do a double take on what I need to eat. @farmersgastropub 2) Happy Hours everyday from 3-6pm 3) Lots of patio seating 4) Bottomless brunch weekend Mimosas 5) Small fish and chips is pretty large and fried just right. My New England roots approved! 6) Every time I try to get something on the healthier side, it's just not the best place for this type of food. No way to keep clean here and the salads are a hard pass. Think more comfort and there is some Asian/Indian inspired dishes. Try to stay away from those. And the ramens fail in the umai flavors - but it's really nice if it is a rainy day. A+ for effort. 7) I think they got rid of it, but I hated their chicken pot pie. 8) Scotch eggs are perfected with it runny inside 9) Very pleasant service All and all - great place to grab a beer, a board, and some solid eats. I still keep coming back - so surely they are doing something right. read more

One of the most satisfying meals of my life. After a long day of driving, we stopped here for dinner. Best fish and chips I've ever had. Fantastic Brussels sprout. Plenty of good beer and wine. Fine service. Pub fare at its very best. read more

Trout Deviled Eggs!! I really enjoyed this place. I've been here 3 times now, each with an excellent experience. I love the different foods they create. The smoked trout deviled eggs were so delicious! It seems like a delicacy! The first time I was here, I ordered the Green Pasta. It doesn't have meat, but it was very light and delicious. It was lovely. The second time, I ordered the special of the day, and the third time, I got the blacken catfish which was good too! Everything I have tried is really good here! I love that! The only think I don't like is they have sooo many beers but there's no beer list, so it's a bit difficult to choose a beer. However, the server always have great suggestions, and they've been on point each time! read more

We have eaten here numerous times and the food and service is excellent. Fantastic fish and chips.
