Red Brick Cafe in Harrow

This is a fantastic cafe. Been coming here for years with the family. Every time the food and service is superb. The welcoming and friendly Anna is an asset to the place. Wouldn’t be the same without her. Looking forward to next time. Odi.

Great place. This is an old fashioned place with a wide menu of traditional food. It's a bit like cafes in the 1970s BUT up-to-date too. The food is well cooked, the menu has veggie options and they're careful if you have allergies. Service is excellent and the people who run it are delightful. Prices are good. Well worth a visit.

It was a last minute decision to book Gilbert's on a Sunday morning but they had availability and I had not been for a very long time and their Sunday lunch deal of £29.95 for 2 or £36.95 for 3 courses was back so why not ! The hotel is located down a long leafy drive but there is plenty of car spaces so it should not be an issue parking. Gilbert's itself is located as you enter the main building on the ground floor with views over the garden so it's quite restful , the room not so much as it's very dated and old fashioned but to some people's taste I guess. There is a choice of 5 starters and main courses so something for everyone. Glad that a free bread roll and butter is offered with the menu. The crispy duck salad with bean shoots and watercress was tasty but served in an odd bowl rather than on a plate making it hard to eat. The tempura prawns came with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and garnished with tomato and cucumber and nice enough, the batter was crispy and light. Main course of roast beef was delicious, plenty of meat , the roasties were crisp but only warm, also served with carrot , asparagus and a bowl of cauliflower cheese which was slight pureed but tasted good and nice & cheesy. The Yorkshire could have been warmer too . Wine started from £21 , tap water was available on request, total came to £83.90 plus 10% service bringing it to £92.29 altogether for 2. Service was a little hit and miss , water had to be asked for twice, the server was not able to uncork the wine at the table and had to go to the bar to do it only to return without any wine glasses. However, plates were cleared promptly and the staff seemed jolly.

Thank you Molly for the amazing service

I went here last year for a mate's party on a Saturday night & I was lucky to find a table as it was very busy. The food was alright but not cheap comparing to other places plus I had a pint of Guinness & I think that was about £5.50 & that was expensive , I am glad I went to Weatherspoons before hand for a few drinks with a mate as this place is not cheap for their drinks. If I go again I probably do the same thing have a few drinks at Weatherspoons or at home so by the time I get to this pub I wont need to get buy many pints & just enjoy a meal.
