    It is a long time since we have eaten at Brook Bistro. As we approached, the new enclosed front terrace looked very inviting. But we had opted for outdoor seating. We took advantage of the warm weather to enjoy an early dinner in the delightful, new garden at the rear of Brook Bistro. The half price Steak Tuesday deal made our meal very good value. The fillet steak was tasty and perfectly cooked and the chunky, triple cooked chips were a perfect, crispy accompaniment - as was our bottle of Oath Shiraz. The server was friendly and efficient without being intrusive. We will return.

    Restaurant was fully booked and clearly understaffed. As a result, we waited 2 hours for our food. Chicken was dry as very little halloumi nor tomato sauce. The waitress did not check on our meals so this couldn’t be rectified. We booked a table for 5 adults and last minute, we were squeezed onto a table for 4. The back door was open all evening so we sat in a cold draught. Will not be returning.

    Food was good . However 3 of us had the fish which was underdone : when we mentioned it the immediatly cooked 3 more pieces that were excellent ( a good restaurant will always correct any issues and this was a clear sign that it’s a very good restaurant ) Staff were very good and I would have no hesitation in recommending this redtuarant
