The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Brasserie food

Booked as a special birthday meal on the basis of previous recommendations on this and other sites. Sadly disappointed. The chef responsible for setting the place up is now working abroad and his stand-in, while competent, doesn’t live up to the billing or the prices. Small menu, with 4 starters and 4 mains. Scallops (3 for £13) were excellent but lost in a small dish on a large otherwise empty plate. My crispy chicken was not noticeably different from a Chinese take away version, again served in an enamel dish for £12 - very poor value. Salmon fillet was faultless but my lamb rump was just barely on the edible side of pink, no jus or gravy and a saucer if mint sauce was brought without comment from the owner who clearly had better things to do behind the counter than worry about customer satisfaction. The affogato desert was one scoop of average vanilla ice cream in a large coffee cup with a shot of espresso unceremoniously tipped over it by the still unsmiling hostess. Yes I could have sent the lamb back, but then the awkward wait and out of synch meal spoils your evening. It was edible, just. And at £33 a portion I wish I’d chosen something else. A bottle of average Montepulciano and 2 glasses of decent Prosecco set us back £140 so when we return to Mull this definitely won’t be on our itinerary. Less a Galleon than an overpriced CalMac ferry, I’m sorry to say.

Authentic and brilliant. Chef Govind and team are amazing, from Moilee curry to crab masala everything takes you back to India.

I was craving for a good chicken burger. I got one last night and it was spot on on every level. It was one delicious burger. Absolutely going back for more. I think this place is a hidden gem.

Went for the Sunday lunch. It was absolutely amazing. The staff were so polite and inviting, and the food was outstanding. Would definitely recommend!

I had heard great things about this place. Unfortunately it did not deliver, staff not very attentive, could not pre order online (tried phoning and messaging to pre order) to no avail. Only got asked if we wanted a drink after 15minutes of being sat down (wasn't busy at this time either) food arrived I had the brisket meal (chips,A&H coleslaw & jalapeño crisies were very nice thank you, but the brisket not so much was very dry I put the bbq sauce and coleslaw on to make it palatable. Would not recommend!

Este lugar es el mejor. La comida más deliciosa y variada, especialmente los interesantísimos platos de verduras y lentejas. Todo es súper fresco y no está lleno de rellenos. El servicio es muy amable y pueden adaptar las cosas a sus gustos. Fácilmente en mis 5 mejores restaurantes del sur de Asia, lugares con estrellas Michelin incluidos.

Had brilliant birthday meal at Smoke & Ice Retford. Delicious food great atmosphere staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly if they tried. All the staff were great at helping my mum who is a wheelchair user and took time explain menu and sauces ect. Thanks again for the happy birthday song all 10 of us really enjoyed it and would definitely be back. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

This was one of the best Sunday roasts I have ever had The meat and vegables where cooked to perfection

Amazing double muffin and perfect hash brown and a decent size cup of tea. The muffin was steaming till the last mouthful . Just about to grab a Rocky Road to take away as full at the moment!

A few yrs ago I had a steak out in a restaurant, it wasn’t good and put me off. Today whilst shopping I decided to give steak another go and I wasn’t disappointed, best steak ever. Best butchers around.

Super friendly staff Aliyah was so lovely and friendly and helpful with the menu choices. Food was delicious and would highly recommend.

The full English was great, one of the best I've had! Loved the atmosphere and the owner was lovely. Definitely recommend!

Excellent food and service with a large and varied menu to suit most tastes (I'd say all, really!) Waiters pleasant and good food served quickly even when busy. A good selection of drinks available from the bar.

Lovely Sunday roast dinner. Always lots of veg to go round and never go home hungry! There's a choice of 2 meats or a vegetarian option and always a Yorkshire pudding plus extra gravy! Service is great with pleasant staff and prompt attention.

Delicious food, stunning setting, perfect service. Our group of 30 old car enthusiasts traveled from Bristol over hill and dale to this idyllic spot. The prior organisation and the management by Emily and her team on the day were highly impressive. The food was perfect, porchetta, salmon or aubergine all delicately done, tasty and plenty of it. Everyone went back home very satisfied. Thank you
