    Food and service good but we were seated next to bar and it was very annoying that people came to the bar to buy drinks - sort this out because we were literally being pushed around by people with bags on backs . A real negative . Waitress didn’t write down the food items - or repeat the order. Some very interesting items on food, quite heavy on seafood

    James Cochran's food here has 1251 vibes and it is SO GOOD Maybe we ordered too many snacks to start but they were all so tasty and quite easy to share. Wine menu was very reasonable. We will be back, even just for drinks and snacks would be a great shout instead of mains and a full meal, lovely pub and very relaxed atmosphere with lots of staff on hand.

    Wonderful meal. Everything was delicious both food wise and we had a wonderful good value Tuscan wine. Lovely people and we had a good chat with the Head Chef Paul who was on that night. It’s great to see James Cochran back in the saddle as it was a shame that 1251 and Velderamas have closed. We’ll be back and I expect the Brave to also appear to top London roast lists. The 1251 one was spectacular and I’m sure this will be as well. We’ll be back shortly. Highly Recommended!

    Odd menu - strange flavours which didn’t quite work. Waitress pushed loads of bread on us which came with bizarre fishy butter…

    A Sunday soft opening so quite busy but staff as efficient as they could be. Sunday menu limited to roast beef or chicken with a veggie option but very good quality beef and generous portions with several side dishes and enormous Yorkshire pudding included. We had no room for starters or dessert. Only downside was the food served on cold plates — they had apparently run out of hot ones— but this would not be the norm.

    Went during soft launch, so somewhat chaotic service and plate delivery easily understood. Also went on a Sunday which is no place for a pescatarian when it’s all roasts! Will try it on other days to give the regular menu a go.
