    The Broughton was a wonderful experience. The manager, Josh, was a delight as was the food and the wine. Very reasonably priced and a great experience. I would highly recommend The Broughton!

    Overall the food was very flavourful but it was tepid at best. Feb this back to the server/manager and was basically dismissed/ignored. The service was disappointing considering we were the only diners in the restaurant but the manager decided it was more important to deal with business calls rather than the 2 diners in his restaurant. As they don’t open until 14:30 I would expect the business calls to be dealt with pre service and not ignore the only 2 customers.

    This is a fabulous place just next to the Playhouse, we couldn’t believe how great the food was for the price. The wine was also excellent and the menu small and perfectly formed

    We have probably been to the Broughton to eat more than anywhere else in the last 12 months and we love it. Food is really nice and well presented. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and fun. They help make the meal an exciting occasion in a destination. We will be back and I am sure you will not be surprised to hear -we heartily recommend it!
