The Tommyfield Gastro Pub

We enjoy going to Tommyfield! The atmosphere is lively, and the food never disappoints! They also have live music on Saturday evenings!

Always great! modern style British pub in the burbs! Great for sports, people watching, cheap drink specials & great management!

In town for work. I love a good gastropub. This place was great. Had good specials, fresh food and a good vibe.

I went there recommended by a friend and I would it was a very okay experience. I ordered a regular burger and added egg; I also ordered caesars dressing to deep my fries, but it wasn’t good at all.
Overall, okay for the south

Cool atmosphere but the food doesn’t qualify to a gastropub standard. Don’t worry about presentation and more worry about good tasting food. I will defiantly return for the patio next summer.

Love going for cheap wing Wednesday’s! The maple soy wings are great, and I haven’t had those anywhere else.
The Tommy-​oh donut hole dessert is usually really good as well, although it’s a ton of sugar! Don’t go for it if your on a meal plan :)

It’s okay. Just a typical pub: lounge with nice décor. Food was average. Service was average. Nothing special during this visit. Burger was okay, chowder lacked fish but flavoured with fish.

If you are only going to drink beer, then you are on the right track!!! The food is okay and the cocktails are horrible. It is a fun atmosphere to be on the patio that is up 3 floors though.

The food, I had «The Beef» was bland and the portion was tiny. With four limp sticks of asparagus stuck with the mashed potatoes. Which seemed like instant potatoes. I sat at the bar since I needed something to do to kill time over lunch. My beer glass had a chip on it, but I couldn’t tell the bartender because she almost never showed her face. Until it was time to collect the money, of course. In all, it was very underwhelming. I’d love to give it another try because the décor is nice, and they have a decent selection of craft beer. I just don’t think they deserve my patronage.

Guys, I am really disappointed. Normally I enjoy going over to have a pint at Tommyfield’s, but tonight was really off — it probably was because for the first time, Jason and I decided to sit upstairs. The patio was busy which is why it probably took quite a few minutes for the waitress to acknowledge us. She brought us our beers, but then didn’t take our food order. We had to wait for her to come back.
During my wait I noticed there was a dead bee on the light fixture above my head and a few other bugs that lost their little lives too soon which also wasn’t awesome and my first thought was to wonder what the kitchen looked like. It’s not like the fixture was 8 feet above my head, I used my hand to turn it to show Jason the poor deceased bee.
The food came from the food runner. Who failed to mention the dish was hot, but don’t worry, my arm let me know when I reached across it to get my fork out of the condiment caddy. That sucks — I am hoping this doesn’t scar. We let the waitress know, but she shrugged it off with a «sorry, we bake these dishes you know…» Actually, I didn’t — the food runner didn’t tell me.
Regardless, burns happen and heal, I used my beer and then my ice water to ice before finally asking the waitress to bring me an ice pack. And dinner was pretty good for pub fare.
We settled up and I went to use the washroom. Clearly there was a mark on me as the stall I chose didn’t having a working hand dryer and was missing the ever important knob to open the lock. After a minute of claustrophobic panic, I MacGyvered my way out. My husband let the manager know (explicitly stating he didn’t want anything, but wanted her to be aware and asked what happened to Tommyfield’s), only to be replied with a shrug and a verbal agreement that she had no idea what was happening upstairs.
This is really too bad. I enjoyed brunch there and after work drinks. Counting down now for the Marriot hotel and hotel restaurant/​bar to be finished.

Late night menu, Sunday night, standard pub fare. Wings are hot and crispy, beer is cold, pretty much what I expected. Good deal on wings, and Caesars were in special. Just what I was looking for.

Great service, friendly servers and our lunch was mouth watering. The short rib sandwich is amazing!!! Highly recommend it if you are in the area.

I have never wanted a restaurant/​pub to be so good. Ever.
What a disappointment. After 4 visits, I can say that I have not had a good meal in this establishment. The reason this is not a one star review is because the wings were decent (and let’s be honest — wings are pretty important in a pub), and the beer has always been cold.
Simple things… like making sure the cheese is melted on nachos, and the fish and chips aren’t cold. Don’t think I’m asking for too much here.
I’ll watch Unilocal for awhile, and hope that the owners and managers of this place finally start concentrating on the quality of their food. So far, it looks like nobody really cares too much.

Upstairs patio. Outdoor booths on rooftop patio have gas fireplaces. Lots of TVs upstairs around indoor sports bar. Good food and drink selection. Very modern pub décor. Pub atmosphere. Unique pub experience.

The main attraction for this pub is the rooftop patio. One Sunday afternoon we decided to take in some rays but still stay around «home base».
The décor and layout is nicely done and has that brand new feel. We been twice in the last month or so and I have to say that the first time was much better than the second in regards to food and service.
First time around we arrived at 12pm and were told the brunch menu is only being served, regular starts at 1pm — it was very minimal but we made it work. We ordered a margarita pizza, mixed greens salad and wings. It wasn’t bad, not amazing either — service was subpar but mimosas were on special and that was fun.
Second visit, we sat on the rooftop again which is still really nice and got to order off the regular menu. We had the short rib sandwich with poutine, tuna salad sans dressing and the calamari. Now, this time the poutine was pretty horrible — it was like ¼ cup of salt was sprinkled on before served, the calamari was far overcooked and many pieces were too hard to eat or tasted very fishy. There appeared to be cornmeal fried on which gave it a very unsavory texture as well.
The tuna salad was good but boring; it lacked what normal tuna salads have (and I always get without dressing). I would say that the service was even worse this go around as well.
All in all, I found the price did not justify our meals/​service/​experience and we may only go back again for a drink on the patio but not for the food.

Quite possibly the worst service in the city. Average pub food, nothing spectacular, and nothing overly «gastro» about it.
Not worth the horrible service when there are so many other pubs near by.

I’ve been here a few times as this is our only neighborhood pub (not including the Rickies all day grill next door or the fat burger that has a bar in it). The food is average pub food. Nothing spectacular but good enough that my fiancé and I keep coming back. Nice décor. Okay service considering how busy it always seems to be (again, this is the only neighborhood pub within walking distance of the south side of auburn bay). They were able to keep up when they were opened and filled to capacity at 5am for the men’s gold medal Olympic hockey game (2014). Very loud on an average viist, which is fine, but don’t go here if you are wanting a quiet meal. I’m currently inquiring about gluten free/​dairy free options and will update my review once a response is received (recently developing allergies). A con would be that their menu, while very simplistic, doesn’t seem to make note of any gluten free or dairy free options. They seem to indicate vegetarian though.

First off, the restaurant itself is quite nice, interesting décor, comfortable seating. Not a lot of tv’s so not the best for watching sports but a definite hangout place.
The beer menu was good, featured some great local brews (very local — including tool shed brewing company from Mackenzie Lake).
The food menu was meh, not bad but nothing spectacular. The salad dressings are homemade and quite tasty but everything else was just okay. My husband had the fish and chips and we’ve had better in the area.
Now on to what may prevent us from coming back. Our waitress (Brittany) was very rude. From the moment we walked in, she acted as if waiting on us was some big chore and not her job or anything. My pop was extremely flat. I asked our waitress if there was an issue with their pop and it was at that point she mentioned they have had problems with their co2. This information would have been super helpful when I was making my beverage decision. If she might have tried to be nice and pleasant she may have up sold me to an alcoholic beverage but instead she got her back up and asked what I expected her to do about the flat pop. True, what did I expect her to do, perhaps problem solve a solution so that her tip was not slim to non-​existent. Also I felt she was inappropriately dressed, I get that short skirts get tips but if I can see your bum, I don’t want you near my food.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I will be back here because of the service, or maybe just avoid Sunday afternoons.

I think the Bob E. review might be a bit over the top rating wise. Tommyfield is a nice place but the «gastro» side of things needs some work for sure.
We tried the fish and chips as well as the chicken on a biscuit. The coleslaw which accompanied both was browning and really quite bad. Average fish and chips at best.
With regards to the chicken and a biscuit, there was a spoonful of sauce upon which was placed the biscuit, fried chicken and browning coleslaw. It was very dry overall and below average.
The service was friendly and everything was clean.
I will likely return and give it another try but some menu items definitely need work.

I have eaten here a couple of times now and have enjoyed everything! Seafood chowder is freshly made and outstanding, short rib sandwich is awesome. I would add jalapenos to it next time though. Chicken for 2 is amazing also. I am really impressed with this new place, some of the best food in the SE. Finally!
