    The second time we have eaten here and just as good as the first. Rather than the set menu (which was excellent on our first visit), we ordered a la carte this time as it was a birthday treat. My monk fish was delicious and my husband had the seafood curry which he really enjoyed. Desserts were light and refreshing and my husband had a candle and mini dessert plate for his birthday which was a thoughtful touch. Excellent service too - just the right amount - it was not intrusive at all. The cocktails are amazing too! Perfect venue for a special occasion.

    We arrived for Sunday lunch early and the venue was very quiet. We were seated and served in a good time. The menu had great choices and wasn't too overwhelming. The food was fantastic, you couldn't fault it. One improvement would be ro turn heating on in the toilets - it was freezing in there!! All in all, a fabulous place with great atmosphere, staff and food!

    Myself and 3 friends have a very enjoyable evening on Saturday. The reason I chose The Brasserie was that it had both vegetarian and gluten free options which we needed. Unfortunately there were no gluten free buns available for the burger and also no gluten free brownie. We all felt this was very disappointing and my friend who suffers from coeliac disease only had the starter she wanted available to her. It definitely was not gluten free friendly on Saturday night
