    As always, a very enjoyable visit to Brook Bistro. Food delicious and served promptly by friendly and polite staff. We all agreed (4 of us) that the waiting staff were attentive but discreet and very smartly dressed. I have been to the Bistro several times and have always enjoyed the excellent food and drinks with professional and friendly service.

    Delicious food (Sunday roast and halloumi burger for the adults, chicken goujons for the kids) and wonderful service, as always. Waiting staff were great with my children, and the Easter chocolates for them at the end of the meal was a nice touch. We’ll be back soon! (Only slight criticism was the white wine wasn’t chilled enough, but everything else was spot on!!)

    Food was absolutely beautiful, we had three courses a Sunday lunch . Presentation was outstanding i was well impressed . The service was really good the staff were lovely and very helpful . I would definitely return to the brook bistro . The only problem I found it was a little loud but it was Easter Day . I think the music could have been a bit quieter as we couldn’t hear each other talking . Thank you for a lovely meal will return soon .

    Service was a little slow, which is never normally the case here. Took around 20/25 mins just to order a pudding and another 20 mins to get it. The roast was great however the pear and apple crumble was far too sweet and could tell it had been microwaved as some was cold and some was boiling hot. There was a mix of understanding of coeliac disease (gluten free) the main problem came when we asked if the ice cream was gluten free and was told it was vegan.
