The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in England

Was visiting the area and came across The Otters Deli, first thing i noticed was the staff, all amazingly helpful and friendly. Had several items of food and drink which was all very nice. Definitely a place to visit and i’ll certainly be heading back

Teras ha estado bajo nueva dirección durante 4 meses y el cambio es maravilloso. Nueva decoración es preciosa y la comida es maravillosa. Hermosamente presentado, sabor excelente y excelente servicio. Estoy muy contento de verlo de vuelta y la nueva dirección realmente ha dado en el blanco. Definitivamente voy a volver sobre una base regular ahora.

Casa de humo bien establecida justo al lado de la playa - excelentes kippers y caballa ahumada. Mi esposa tenía su rollo de tocino ahumado y también le encantó.

The reviews were positive so I strolled along from my hotel and thankfully there was room. The menu is very comprehensive but I opted for old faithful of an adana kebab. It came with both rice and chips (never seen the point in chips unless you're in a chip shop), and the kebab was delightful with light, fluffy rice. A new one on me was grated feta on the salad, one i have to admit I did my level best to demolish it. Definitely worth visiting.

Average at best. £12.50 for 4 prawns on skewers as a sharing plate. The Moroccan chicken skewers with Cous Cous was below par and although presented relatively well it did not lend itself to the so called exciting dishes as advertised! The menu choices are not good and quite frankly sparse. The choice of desserts was disheartening, although reasonably priced. The drinks are expensive £3.50 for a half of Coke and £10 for a glass of wine is quite honestly too much. The Good friendly service from the front of house staff can’t be faulted. Average food at an above average price. Will definitely NOT be going back.

On a gloomy, damp Saturday afternoon, four of us decided to walk up to the Queens Oak for a drink and some fresh air. As we arrived I noted the snug bar was very busy... and then found the few tables in the immediate larger bar were all taken. However, the further tables in the rest of the larger bar side were entirely free. I noted that most, but not all, were laid with knives and forks. Not wanting to make any assumptions, I politely asked "we are only planning to stay for one drink, would it be OK if we sit down for a short while?" but received a curt response: "No they are all laid for dinner this evening!" That was it -> no friendliness, no alternatives or follow up, just blunt NO. It was 3pm in the afternoon. Not only that, at least one round table in that area wasn't laid at all. We just looked at each other astonished... and left quietly, with our tails between our legs and shocked at the bluntness of the response. I acknowledge if the staff at the pub do not want local, casual drinkers to sit in that area at any time (in this case 3pm in the afternoon) then that is their prerogative. I'll know not to visit again. There's not much point in visiting a pub if there is no hospitality - it's far cheaper to remain at home and get a drink from the fridge.

Afraid to report this excellent restaurant has closedown. Sad news! Closed about the begining of December.

I like this place for the odd buy - like to get something that I wouldn't find elsewhere- but just for that really. I also like it's cosy atmosphere and the fact that there are some rare items. I also particularly like the options at the bakery and the different breads available. The focaccia is really nice and we have bought it two times so far. Some of the salads are nice as well, like the tabbouleh and the butternut squash one. Things I think need improvement: . Some prices are shockingly high- like ice cream is £8 ish for a tub. A bottle of orange juice is also nearly £6, 2 chicken tikka skewers are £12, £12 for a practically mini new york cheesecake. Anyway, as you can see some of the prices don't make sense. . The bakery section is the only place really that has affordable options. The prices in this section are average, like £2.50 for a cupcake, and £3.50 for a chocolate tiffin, is expected nowadays. . I think since this is the farm and they produce some of their own products, they should also be selling their own ice cream, milk, eggs, like many other farms (As I could see another farm's branding on the ice cream tub). We came here for the cafe as well, but unfortunately it's been closed. We were told it will open in 2026. The plan for the new place seems cool though. The customer service was good both times we visited too. All in all, I will be back here for the occasional buy, but I think unless you have a million pounds, you need to pick and choose what you buy so it doesn't add up to £200. I do like to support independent businesses though to where I can, so I am giving this place four stars. I do feel like there is still, regardless, not many places like here in Wilmslow and it is quite unique.

Absolutely great food and very friendly staff.. food was all cooked from fresh.. deffo be going again

Today's lunch at Brown & Forrest Smokery was nothing short of exceptional – a true five-star culinary experience in the heart of Langport. The quaint and inviting ambience of the smokery provided the perfect setting for a delightful catch-up with a friend. Choosing from the menu was a pleasure, knowing that whatever the selection, satisfaction was guaranteed. My choice, the Tuna Mayonnaise Bap, was a triumph of flavours. The bap was generously packed with succulent, flavorful tuna, beautifully complemented by a creamy mayonnaise that tied the whole experience together. Each bite was a testament to the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. My friend's Full English Bap was a sight to behold—laden with a hearty combination of sausage, egg, bacon, and mushrooms. It was more than a bap; it was a celebration of traditional English breakfast components, all brought together in a convenient and no less delicious form. The culinary journey didn't end with the mains. I couldn't resist purchasing some of their sugar-free biscuits, a sweet endnote to look forward to. The thought of relishing those biscuits later added an extra layer of joy to an already splendid visit. It’s not just the food that deserves applause but also the service. The staff at Brown & Forrest Smokery were as warm as the food was delectable, contributing to a relaxed and friendly dining atmosphere that's hard to come by. In conclusion, if you find yourself in the area and in need of a comforting and satisfying meal, make your way to Brown & Forrest Smokery. Whether it’s for the packed-full baps, the sweet treats, or just the welcoming vibe, this smokery is sure to provide an enjoyable, delicious experience. I’m eagerly looking forward to my next meal here and would heartily recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for fine, hearty fare.

Absolutely disgusting roast dinner, do not bother it tasted absolutely horrible and dry meat gravy had a weird taste 7.99

Erica was so friendly & helpful and the whole team were very hospitable, a great pub to visit for food & drink! Thank you everyone!

Located in the heart of London’s theatre district. Not so fancy but very friendly service. Food is ok. Pasta is recommended.

Such a wonderful evening - The most beautiful setting, amazing food, fabulous staff and just the loveliest vibes. We can’t wait to come back!! ☺️

We were visiting Preston for the weekend and we decided to spend our Sunday night at the Ferret. Really enjoyed it. Relaxed atmosphere with live music. Good selection of drinks and well priced. Young girl on the bar kindly ordered us a taxi We only asked if she knew a number for a local cab firm so service was spot on. I would love to visit here again but I don't live local. If I am in the area again I will be sure to come back.
