Woburn Brasserie in Central Bedfordshire

This place could be amazing but it is lacking atmosphere and the food is very ordinary. It needs a total overhaul. Everything feels dated and they need to look at other restaurants/brasseries in other area. It always seems half empty. Wouldn't go back again.

I visited on the bank holiday weekend , I had a Lagrande breakfast and as usual it was spectacular my kids had there pancakes which came with a variety of options for toppings . The staff were all very friendly and helpful , overall very good visit and day out in Woburn

Had our 10th anniversary dinner here with our 2 children. The owner Tim spent a lot of time entertaining our kids so we could enjoy our time together as a couple. Food was amazing and all arrived in a timely manner. Had a wonderful evening.

What a lovely little gem! Great service, yummy food and delicious cocktails. I wish the weather was better to sit outside, may be another time.

spur of the moment decision to have a late lunch somewhere in Woburn. From the exterior the Woburn Brasserie was as appealing as any other in the high street. Service was efficient and friendly, prices were reasonable and the food was good. The only negative was an elderly lady sitting in the corner randomly swearing! Nothing at all to do with the Brasserie. Would visit again.

Been coming here as half way point to meet with friends. Always friendly staff, good not pretentious food and delicious wines. Good to see a summer menu now with a lot of fresh choices. Looking forward to the next girls catch up.

Wouldnt bother. Staff friendly, food not good. Music too loud and inappropriate for a Sunday lunchtime Expensive too

We booked a table for family of 6 plus baby. We ordered beetroot hummus to start and when it arrived it was normal hummus. The waitress never said anything so when I enquired about it not being beetroot she said oh yes we did'nt have any so gave what we had instead. At least she could have given us the choice of not having it as this was not what we ordered! I should have known then that things would get worse My chicken burger was not a burger but half a bland chicken breast in between one slice of tomato and lettuce in a very dry bun. Chips were dark brown and over cooked. My husband and daughter had fish and chips. The batter was thick, stodgy and tasteless with very little fish inside. My other daughter had a BLT which should have been toasted but was not so it was just a brown bread sandwich. In details of restaurant it is stated all food freshly cooked to order. Everything was frozen so that is simply not true. Overall We would not return as poor value for money. On the up side the staff were friendly, service was slow even though it was'nt busy but I can excuse this as they may have been short of staff. There however was no excuse for the food!

Arrived for an impromptu Sunday lunch. Didn’t expect to get a table given there was a craft fair and food market on. No problem, there was plenty of availability. There was a jazz band playing, nice touch but the volume was rather loud and not possible to have a conversation. Sorry to say the roast chicken we ordered was dry and bland. The vegetables; baby corn and broccoli were watery. The staff were pleasant.

Ordered a Sunday roast, waited over an hour for something which was over cooked and dry, brought it up with the manager to be told well don’t eat it then and took the dish away without offering a replacement. They were not busy, we were one of 5 tables only. The manager was rude, didn’t help or offer alternatives, they were rude from the start, when I asked about Gluten free options I was told they would just see what they could do even though the menu stated they had gf options. The jazz band was also so loud that you couldn’t hear anyone speak at the table. I would not recommend to anyone- rude staff, over priced canteen food and long waits

After a long drive it was nice to sit down and be served with a smile and great service. Good was really tasty and the place relaxing. Recommended

My cousin had pre-booked a mothers day brunch several weeks before, including all of the food required. We got there for 10.30 and I think we ate at 12.15. The manager said someone had the list of our food in her car but had to go away for a and had lost it - or some tale! My cousin reminded him that she had in fact spoken to HIM the previous evening to confirm the menu choices. There followed a lot of excuses and nonsense. A flat out apology - I am sorry we have screwed this up would have helped. On top of this the food was poor. A full english breakfast was tiny - one sausage one piece of bacon one egg, a child's portion. The kids breakfasts had two charred sausages - your dog wouldn't have eaten them! Two breakfasts were wrong and we kept being told how busy they were - really one place to AVOID

We had a wonderful time at Woburn Brasserie, nothing was too much trouble. Great food, Prosecco and cocktails - perfect! Excellent service well done :)

This was booked as I used to live locally and the Woburn Brasserie was always so difficult to get a booking as it was such a great food experience. Returning for the weekend then it was booked for lunch What a disappointment. From arrival - no one to greet us, show us to table - onwards. Very limited and uninspiring menu. No atmosphere We ordered bread and oils - we got a burger bun, cut in half, each half then quartered plus a rolled tortilla wrap sliced with a ramekin with minuscule amount of balsamic and huge amount of not very nice olive (?) oil. We reconstructed the burger bun like a jigsaw. How bread and oils can be that revolting is beyond me. Our pushing it away was noticed by a lady not there when we arrived and who we assume was the manager or owner. She apologised saying it should have been ciabatta and she did not know why this had happened. We were not charged for it Owing to lack of exciting mains (burgers, fish & chips, Sunday roasts - which we saw being served and did not look appetising) we opted for starters and a selection of sides. Seabass Lime & Ginger fish cakes with a side salad and onion rings Spicy chicken skewers and straw fries. The fish cakes, onion rings and straw fries - obviously frozen, prepared foods. Nothing special at all. Could have probably got from a supermarket. The spicy chicken skewers - not presented at all well. Looked like leftovers to be honest. Had to ask for the side salad and got a plate of what was really just another garnish (as was with fish cakes and chicken skewer) To cap it all there was a lad going backwards and forwards to the kitchen with crockery or something but in football kit and muddy football boots - questionable in a kitchen, noisy on a wooden floor Very disappointed.

I came for a business meeting we sat on there lovely window seated sofa , our drinks came seconds after ordering and the food was very good and a reasonable price

Very disappointed with this place. I made a reservation yesterday morning for dinner here in the evening. It is very rare my husband and I have a date night as we have two very young children and I am five months pregnant with out third....

Booked for lunch on a Saturday. Food was poor quality for the price. Frozen chips, limp salad. Service slow.

Booked as central to all our locations. Upon entering...first impressions good. Decent if unadventurous brunch menu. Waiting staff young and a bit clueless. Had to repeat order. Two of party didn't want a particular item with main breakfast - they had to ask if they...

The website looks so promising, but for us the Brasserie wasn’t close to delivering. Service was friendly but rather gauche, the young staff not really seeming to know what they were doing or supposed to be doing. But it was the food that was the...

Not only it is expensive (overcharging on drinks), the place is dirty (sticky tables), inappropriate music (spice girls wannabe on a Sunday morning), with no pastries or late breakfast option offered at 11:30am on a Sunday, but I also felt that I was inconveniencing the...

A friend and I frequently drop in before and after a few hours of hiking in order to drink a pre and post-hike coffee. The coffee is very good, including even the decaff. Sitting by the bay window on the streetside is a delightful spot,...

the food was amazing, it is the perfect family location. The seafood platter I had to say was fantastic!! The members of staff were very attentive and kind. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Came in for a drink after a walk, but ended up staying for lunch. Lots of lovely sharing platters and nibbles. Coffees were great too. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

Dreadful food bleak service. It was like eating at a working mens club. The fresh burger on the menu was not fresh it was frozen and was lost in the huge dusty bread roll. The chicken burger was literally a dry pale unseasoned piece of...

We had dinner here on a Saturday night and it was very quiet but we don't know why because the food was very good and the service was great.

Popped in on our way out of CenterParks. Lovely little place, full of character and tummy warming dishes. This was as they were changing over from breakfast to lunch and they obliged to do a couple of dishes from both menus, you don't get it...

If you order a pasta dish with an option to add prawns you expect them to be cooked with the dish, not just defrosted and scattered around what looked like over cooked ratatouille. Fish and chips were edible but greasy. Won’t be going back

Never disappointed at Woburn Brasserie. We went for a Sunday roast after visiting the market. Really nice food and drink and the Jazz band were playing which made it a really nice day out. The menu has changed for winter offering new dishes. Will be...

This gorgeous venue was such a disappointment Apart from the entertainment The singer was amazing However the food was not good, cold and beef was chewy and I left it The staff seemed distracted They were very polite but had to ask for their attention...

Terrible food, absolutely awful! Sticky tables and no toilet paper in the ladies restrooms. Only good thing about our lunch was the lovely waiter with his excellent customer service. Dont waste money eating here, theres a lovely pub serving delicious, fresh food a few doors...

Awful! A tough steak sandwich served on blood-soaked bread and no French mustard in a Brasserie! Tables not wiped between customers. Ours was so sticky. It was quite unpleasant. Not a mask in sight. Won't be returning.

We were so looking forward to a nice evening out!! THEN... We visited the Woburn brasserie. The lovely German barman was a star and served us with a friendly face and nice cocktails. UNFORTUNATELY that was the highlight of the evening. My pie and mash...

Great coffee (really really good) and exceptional breakfast rolls. Will be back. Nice relaxed clean place with large car park at the rear. Has some outside seating if you prefer. Will be back for sure.

Popped in on spec for a cream tea on an ice sunny day. No cream, which was a bit surprising, so we just had a drink each. Whilst the girls serving were very polite and helpful, the gentleman manager summarily ignored us whilst planning tables...

We turned up for lunch without a booking on market day. We were accommodated within a few minutes despite the restaurant being busy. Waitress service was very friendly. We were informed there may be a wait as they were busy however service was fairly fast....

Excellent service, the staff are friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Lovely environment, I definitely will be back.

Popped in on our last trip to Woburn. Nice little independent restaurant which makes difference to chains. Good selection of sharing platters, vegan and GF dishes. Allergens are also taken care of. Fab furniture outdoors making it a comfortable relaxed seating on a good day,...

Went for Sunday lunch. The food was lovely and presented well. They were happy to change some of the veg to accommodate our preference. The staff were happy and attentive. Will be back and highly recommend

We really expected more and were mostly disappointed by the service. Basically ignored with only 5 tables at lunch in total! I never review but this needed it! After ordering the mains the food came out a bit slow and very average from a simple...

A really lovely evening spent here , nice home cooked food and such lovely friendly service . We were made to feel so welcome .

I booked this for a get together with family we hadn’t seen in a long time and it was just not what I expected. We were the only people there on a Friday night and two of the mains got sent back, bread tasted stale...

We’ve visited this restaurant quite a few times in the last four years or so & have never been disappointed. The setting is lovely & the food is always delicious.

My husband & I booked to take my mother in law for brunch. What a disappointment, processed sausages that were not even browned & the driest ciabatta roll we have ever had. We were not asked at anytime if everything was alright even when the...

Just popped in today for coffees, but what a fabulous place. Coffees exactly as ordered, and the lady who served us was welcoming and so pleasant. What a refreshing change from so many other coffee shops. Next time that we are in Woburn, we will...

Lovely little restaurant. Service is great. Food and drink menu varied enough for all tastes and reasonably priced. Recommended

The place is attractive, nice bowed windows and we were warmly greeted when we arrived. The menu is decent and fairly priced for the food on offer. I kicked off with the sea bass fish cakes and they were really tasty. They came with some...

Popped in for an ice cream. Delicious and staff couldn't have been nicer. We'll definitely come back for a meal next time we are visiting.

Met some old friends for lunch in May. We did not have a booking, but the accommodated us, offering a table inside or out. We chose out, which was fine and it was dry. Great surroundings and the staff and food was very good.

Just not quite right on a number of levels. Staff very obliging and happy. Without them it would have been miserable. Perhaps need to charge a little more so that can improve the food which is basically not great pub fayre. BBQ ribs were delicious...

Tim the owner very friendly, sat outside during Covid lockdown in very clean and comfortable marquee. Dog friendly and pampered with bowl of water. Toilets very clean and tidy which reflects the venue. Great wine accompanied with the Brassiere share platter ! Great venue, tucked...

Gorgeous lunch in the sunshine. Had the fish platter with olives and chunky chips. Really tasty! I dont usually like fishcakes but they were so good and probably the best part! Salmon and prawns were lovely but without the sauces of marie rose and tartar...

Went here for Sunday lunch as a little celebration with some friends, turned up and it was freezing as the staff insisted the doors must be kept open. Took ages to get someone to take our drinks order. Ordered food and when it came out it was sad looking, disappointing and cold. Ordered a roast and the gammon was 2 slice of cold ham that looked like it had come out of a sandwich meat pack from the supermarket and the beef was dry and cold. In fact the only thing that was hot was the gravy. We didn’t bother staying for pudding. When we came to pay the bill, it was wrong and they tried to argue with me. I’ve been here before and it was nice, but I won’t be going back again. Overpriced poor service and Rubbish food.

Firstly the starter platters, which are around £17 / £18 each, were very poor for how expensive they were. The bread was just white hovis buttered rather than a bread you would use to accompany smoked salmon and the prawns were like something out of a packet. The chicken skewers and a few pieces of chopped chorizo were okay but other than that it had some plain tortilla crisps, a small bowl of olives and a couple of gherkins, which for the price seemed very steep. The mains then took a very long time to come and although my fillet steak stack was delicious (my favourite part of the meal) the roast dinner was below par. It came out with nearly no gravy and when asked for more it arrived 10 minutes after, by which time the meal was cold. I’ve seen this issue mentioned before and it feels as though this is something that could be easily resolved. The dessert was very nice, however again did have a fair wait. Overall an average meal but fairly expensive and slow service.

First restaurant visited post COVID and can honestly say putting food at heart of local community ensuring all safety measures adhered to. We have made this a regular trip from breakfast: bacon/ advocado/ eggs on toast to home made burgers (melt in the mouth).Am very particular when it comes to eating out and they certainly pack a punch when it comes to quality and quantity on the plate.Would strongly recommend!!!!!!Bon Apetit.

So glad we stopped in Woburn today before going to the safari. This delightful place is a gem of a find and we had a delicious breakfast. Covid measures are in place and the staff are very friendly. So good I’ve just booked a table for the end of the month for dinner.

Friendly staff. Nice good quality English breakfast . Overall a nice pleasant morning . Well organised in view of currrent Covid requirements.

Really nice place to meet and have lunch, good service food really lovely and good value for money.lovely outside space

We stopped by for some food before a trip to the safari park. The manageress was very welcoming and friendly. The halloumi cakes with salad was nice and we enjoyed the nachos.

This was one of the worst meals I have ever had. The seafood platter starter was awful,bread not fresh, they served the crusts, no sauce to go with the prawns. The chicken skewers were anaemic. The mains were no better the mushroom sauce that went with the very dry chicken tasted just like mushroom soup. I will not be going back, to a place that used to be so good.

Very disappointed with my meal. Opted to have Halloumi Cakes as a main meal which is normally offered as a starter. It was supposed to come with salad, but at best it was a garnish. There was very little halloumi and they were warm rather than hot. When you compared my meal to the others of my party it was a very poor plate of food. When I mentioned this to the waitress there was no apology or any adjustment in the bill. We won’t be going back

Me and my friend decided to venture out today and try a new restaurant, we were so happy to stumble across woburn brasserie, we were welcomed by the manager who went above and beyond to accommodate us, we felt very safe to dine here with the new covid rules in place, we found it to be very clean and professional. The food was very tasty, i would highly recommend the chicken skewers! We will defiantly be returning soon.

My friend and our 2 children visited on the 17th. Very, very slow service, even though there were only 3 other tables with people on. Toddlers were not offered a high chair.Food came out with a missing order which they were going to charge me for. Had to tell them twice that I didn't receive the pastry.They gave us our receipt without the 50% off which was extremely dishonest. When questioned, they replied "oh yeah". Everyone knows about the 50% Gov scheme. Working in the hospitality industry myself, there was really no excuse for this. I believe the manager was called K or something. Nothing really managerial about her. Will not be visiting again based on the level of service.

We booked this restaurant as we are moving into the local areas shortly so are sampling the local eateries! What a lovely little restaurant! The staff were all so friendly and attentive and the tables have all been clearly moved to allow for social distancing! They obviously take Covid very seriously here and we felt very safe and well looked after. It was an extremely hot day so i went for for the house salad with smoked salmon and prawns and it was absolutely delicious! My mother in law went for the salad as well with chicken and they very kindly made it with her favourite salad vegetables leaving out the ones she didn’t. My father in law had ham egg and chips and my husband had fish and chips and they both said they really enjoyed both dishes. The chips looked amazing! I know my husband had sticky toffee pudding and my father in law had sorbet but can’t remember what my mother in law ordered, all dishes were just beautiful though. Thank you to the lovely staff for a wonderful evening, even during the heatwave your service and food was top notch!

Holly and Matt made us very welcome and as it was very quiet the night we were in we got extra attention! The food was lovely and we sat outside to eat. Possible they could use some pretty fairy lights to brighten the outside tables at dusk but otherwise a very enjoyable meal and evening

Was interested to see how restaurants would work post lockdown and I have to say it’s the first time I have felt “normal” for a long time. Yes, there was plenty of space around us, loads of cleaning go I BF on and sanitiser and advice on entry and exit. Food was spectacular (especially the halloumi, courgette and carrot cake starters). Service was super friendly and respectful of what’s going on in the world and we loved it. So refreshing to have a nice evening out. Will definitely be back

We had an excellent lunch at the Woburn Brasserie. Holly was absolutely lovely and looked after us very well. It was well organised under the new covid restrictions. The staff have been working hard in lock down to make the restaurant and the outside space look lovely.We look forward to returning soon

We booked a table for my 50th birthday on Sunday 12th July having been to the Brasserie before. Drinks order was taken, 40 mins later some drinks arrived, not all of them. We waited 90 minutes for the food to come out in 10min intervals for 8 people. The food was cold, the roast beef didn’t even look like beef, paper thin and grey. It was that tough you couldn’t cut it with a steak knife!!! The gammon was the same. The steak frittes was not nice, again tough meat.Pints of lager requested, tinned beer. I asked for a glass of Prosecco but was told I could only buy a bottle not a glass!!! I ended up embarrassing and in tears on my birthday celebration... spoilt my whole day!! Did complain and got a whopping £10 off a neatly £200 bill. I did write a letter of complaint first thing Monday morning and posted 1st class along with an email. But not even an acknowledgement...be warned.. don’t waste yr money in this place... gone really downhill !!!!

We have a lovely meal at the Brassiere after visiting the Safari Park. The food was excellent and the service very friendly and relaxed. We were even brought cushions and blankets to make sitting outside more pleasant as the evening drew in. Highly recommended.

After lockdown it was the first meal out to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The Sunday roast was a disappointment. The carrots were so hard we couldn't get a fork into them. We complained and were asked how we liked them. Cooked ! The second portion was raw but boiling hot. The green beans were non existent. The yorkshire pudding rubbery. Two slices of beef were cold but tender. The meal was lacking in gravy and we asked for more which arrived halfway through our meal. The only good thing were the 4 roast potatoes- hot and tasty. Our table was booked for lunch at 3 o'clock and we assumed that food was running low as portion size was small which was fine for us ladies and we were able to manage a desert which was the best part of the meal - delicious. Staff are friendly and understood our complaints and gave us a free desert off the total price. A disappointing birthday meal but we didn't let it spoil our day.

Welcome - none existent! Service very slow. Rose wine was pretty rough. Finally ordered. Dishes not correct but that was OK. Except house salad was half a bag of stale and even slimy salad with half a squashed tomato! Thrown in dish. Small piece of salmon dumped on top. THEN realised plate was dirty!! Sent back not really any apology - as a waitress myself I wouldn't have taken that out of the kitchen. Reordered different option as hungry and didn't know where else would be open. Chicken skewers with pitta. That was OK but the pitta was so stale as to be chewy!! Also cold! Gave up at that point. No credit offered from the bill. Toilet blocked! As a first outing I wish I hadn't bothered!

Lunching with a friend for the first time at Woburn Brasserie was rather frustrating. We waited for over half an hour to receive our cold starter. We watched customers who arrived some ten to fifteen minutes after us, tuck into their hot lunches long before we received our cold starters. I've never seen prawn cocktail served with baby leaves (looked like the leaves - uncut - were straight out of Tesco) but it was acceptable enough because there were plenty of prawns. The main courses, salmon and a burger, when we finally received them were indeed well cooked and tasty but a bit mean on vegetables, except potatoes, of which there were many. I doubt that the carrot batons on my plate would constitute more than one full size carrot. There were only a few French beans. A bit pretentious, I thought. My friend enjoyed her burger. Given the number of tables, the available parking was very limited. However, alternative parking is available a few minute's walk away. I will not be visiting this restaurant again but if you don't mind waiting for it, the food is good, albeit expensive for what you get for your money.

Good food, generous portions. Service was a little slow, but they were all very polite. beautiful interior

Went here for a family lunch why visiting the area I had blade of and it was delicious and the management couldn’t do enough and happily catered for our 1 year old would definitely be back and would certainly recommend

We come quite often and always enjoy, this time w had the brie & bacon flatbread and eggs royale which were both delicious! Friendly service, lovely coffee and nice tables in the window to people watch, would recommend!

Visited for afternoon tea with my two children. I would have been better off going to M&S. Afternoon tea is an experience. This wasn’t. The tea pot was a battered old metal thing. The scones were stale, the cream was off, the finger sandwiches were basic and in some of them only had a small amount of cheese. Only one smoked salmon Sandwich. The cheesecake, brownie and rocky road were random. Potentially bought from costco?Such a disappointing afternoon.

I booked an evening meal for two on Sat 8/2 and had a choice of times. Saturdays in Woburn restaurants are usually busy, this should have warned me. The service was good, the lady taking the orders was friendly and attentive and pleasant. But with so few tables being occupied she was probably glad of something to do.The food was adequate at best. The starter of a shared Camembert was fine but the main was really just a standard pub meal. The plates were cold, not a good start. The presentation was average. Chips in a small cup, peas(frozen?) in another small bowl. The chicken was drab, and dull, not awful but it didnt feel like it was made with much care. My wifes mash hardly had any taste , as if it was watered down (really?). Thre vegetables while OK, were not what was expected at the price we paid. It was pub food but not at pub prices.The presentation , and lack of other customers, made us feel the restaurant was going through the motions of being a restaurant. Doing just enough to keep the doors open but not enough to make me want to return. A meal out should be an uplifting experience, thing of joy. This was neither A few doors up the road is the Black Horse. We stopped there after the meal and benefited from an excellent environment and a place one would wanted to be. The Brassie could learn a lot from taking a look in.

Myself and my partner decided to go here for breakfast one morning. We assumed it would be lovely simply because it’s in Woburn and looks like a nice place. We both ordered a full English breakfast. We waited 30 minutes for our breakfast! When I asked what was taking so long I was told they were busy. Well there was a few people inside but the rest of the place was empty. I was not given an apology. Eventually our breakfast finally turned up. I was pleased and about to start before I noticed a black curly hair on my plate! I was disgusted and sent my food straight back. I hate to be the person who ‘complains’ but I was totally put off and couldn’t face a new plate of food. I asked for a new slice of toast because I was so hungry. Only to be presented with the same slice from my plate I’d sent back! I knew this because it still had beans on the side of it. There was no gesture of goodwill and the staff were very sheepish. Clearly the hygiene standards in the kitchen are minimal and I can’t imagine the staff wear hair or beard nets otherwise this wouldn’t have happened. I was very dissatisfied. I would however, have been more pleased and wouldn’t have written this review if there has been some sort of effort to salvage my experience. But there was nothing. We paid full price for everything we had and they just took the price off my breakfast off the bill. Because I didn’t have it! Needless to say, I will not be going back.

My friend and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea here on Friday lunchtime. Beautiful food, excellent service and a great atmosphere. 2 hours passed very quickly!

So very disappointed! Food did not match menu, long wait, when finally came really poor quality food, really rude staff and worst meal ever! WOULD NEVER GO AGAIN!!

It was just a simple sausage sandwich but it was delicious,and my cheesecake pudding was fabulous will definitely be visiting again!

Booked a table the previous evening online. When we arrived for brunch, the restaurant was closed and we were informed they weren’t taking tables as they had one big table in (not even that big, around 14 people). We informed the dismissive waitress we had booked and she said she wouldn’t have picked the booking up without any apology. She said we could sit down anyway so we did. We had to get our own menus, and it took the waitress around 30 mins to take a drinks order, which she came over to do as we walked out the door. No apology, staff very dismissive.

Disappointing that British people call chocolate cake with a squirt of caramel chocolate fondant cake!! They are not the same!!!!!!!!!! Also it came out cold and then was just zapped in the microwave

A small group popped in for lunch and although we hadn't booked, was found a table with no problem. Drinks were served quickly and our orders soon followed.

5 of us booked at a table, 2 of the 5 meals were wrong not as ordered. Burger was undercooked. Despite there being 7 customers in the whole restaurant service was below average, had one drink , requested dessert menu which came handwritten on two bits of paper stapled together.

Popped in here one Sunday- haven't eaten here for years so thought would give it a try. Should have know by the lack of people in here- couple next to us were having the Sunday roast which looked dry - so decided to order off the menu- ordered a grilled salmon and sausage and mash- the whole presentation looked like a child had cooked it- the so called new potatoes were old and some not cooked and both meals were just warm- sent them back - 2 minutes later the food came back- same piece of salmon and potatoes had just been heated in the microwave- mash potato was lumpy and sausages still warm with no onion gravy.

We had an awesome time - a special thanks to Tim for making our Father John’s evening bringing out his cake at the end

Had Sunday lunch today at the brasserie. I have eaten here before and thought this was a safe option however this visit the quality of food and service was poor at best. We chose the roast beef, it was so tough to cut that we all gave up trying and only ate a mouthful or two. The Yorkshire puddings should have been relabelled Yorkshire pancakes as they were very flat and stodgy.

Booked a table via Open Table after visiting the restaurant website for 6 people on Friday 29th November (1st night of Christmas Menu). Firstly, we were seated by the back entrance which was extremely chilly (when mentioned to the staff, advised that this was the area for tables of 6), then when the regular menu was presented, we were advised 4 of the 9 main course items (we didn't count the burgers) were unavailable. We were actually expecting to eat off the Christmas Menu but were told this had to be pre-booked.There was no option to select this through the Open Table booking. Our starters: The prawn cocktail came without Sourdough & was just a small mass of watery prawns in cocktail sauce in one lettuce leaf and the Chicken Skewers came with Flatbread & a Sweet Chilli Dip (should have been Tzatzike & Flatbread wasn't mentioned on the menu)! Mains: 3 of us ordered the Beer Battered Catch of the Day - the Chips were good, but the fish itself was tasteless & just about warm enough at best. The peas were also cold & amounted to about an egg cup full. The tartare sauce was just awful, in both appearance & taste. We had previously eaten here some 3 years ago and the food & ambience was excellent then - not so on this occasion & as we were meeting up to celebrate 2 birthdays & a Christmas get together, we were bitterly disappointed. Perhaps we should have realised that something was amiss as apart from another couple of tables, it was empty & at 10pm (on a Friday!) we were the last to leave (probably much to their relief!)

My wife and I booked for a Friday evening at 7.30, we were looking forward to a nice evening out. Alarm bells rang when we arrived as there was only one other couple in restaurant. The waitress then told us that two of the main courses had been removed from menu, the beef onglet, and feather of beef. We both then chose the Moroccan Lamb with Cous Cous which was very tasty. We felt a little uncomfortable towards the end of the meal as it closed at 9.30pm and the cashing up process had begun, bearing in mind our table was booked for 7.30 so we called for a taxi and left at 9.10. It would probably be a better experience if the restaurant was busier and the atmosphere lively.

Waited an hour to be served and then the main turned up with the soup starter and they only gave you a fork to eat your soup !! Very poor and rude service, the waitress had a real attitude. It was so bad that a couple who came in after us got fed up with waiting and left. The food however when it came was not too bad, a very poor lunch menu not much choice

Excellent food and a varied choice of food on the menu Reasonably priced Parking at the rear Friendly staff
