The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in England

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

Absolutely brilliant, as per usual wonderful ambience with top notch food and hosts .. Highly recommend that you try this place

Great cafe in a superb location offering job opportunities to young adults with disabilities surrounded by support, deserves to be a success. Really enjoyed our visit plenty of seats both inside & out, the service was great & the staff member really engaging, only minor gripe was it stated bacon baps/rolls & we got ciabatta rolls which are a different texture & more difficult to consume when slightly older, maybe worth just checking the menu & if things differ, to advise customers, that aside, still a very pleasant visit & happy to contribute to such a great cause!

The medium rare ribeye steak I just had was out of this world! I am nearly 62 and have never had a steak so nice. My partner had the salmon and that was amazing too. Make the effort to go, you won't be Disappointed.

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.

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

Amazing pork baguettes, lovely service and staff are always so kind and friendly. would highly recommend this place. It is good value for money and always nothing is to much hassle for them always feel welcome.

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.

19 of us visited to celebrate me and hubbys 25th Wedding Anniversary. It was outstanding (as always). It's a hidden gem, magical Carolina and Simon are such great hosts. The food was fantastic, our friends were really impressed. Cannot wait to visit again.

You’re welcome, the ambience, tunes, warmth & decor is laid back and cool. The menu tempting, our mains and sides were delicious, desert was divine. Thank you we will come again and we will tell our friends and family about this special place.

Muy acogedor lugar con un buen personal. El servicio Topp y muy fresco que se puede asar su propia comida en la mesa. La comida es sabrosa con muchos sabores ricos o texturas agradables. Recomiendo este lugar para cualquiera que busque algo un poco más auténtico o un poco menos ordinario que la mayoría de los restaurantes en un área como esta.

Nice little burger place. Saturday night take out. Got the King burger meal and cheese half pounder. £18. Burgers were very good, probably one of the best we’ve had in Wycombe. The burgers were big, juicy and tasty. Only thing I would say is the chips could’ve been abit crispier. Defo coming back here in future for a burger. Keep up the good work boys 👍🏽

We stopped here early evening on a Sunday without a booking because our walk had taken a lot longer than expected. We were a group of 6 and were relieved they had space for us and we had just managed to catch the end of the carvery. The landlady was very welcoming, as were all the staff. The pub has a nice family atmosphere and was walm and cosy, especially after a long walk in the drizzle! The carvery was absolutely delicious. One of our party was vegan and was very greatful she could have almost everything on offer, something we didn't expect to find since we were turning up with no pre-warning. The owners dogs are gentle giants and we enjoyed their company. We would definitely recommend this place and were glad we found it!
