Never been here before but was looking for a central place for friends to meet up between our locations! What an absolute find! The staff were welcoming and friendly, went above and beyond to accommodate food intolerances and were attentive and lovely! The chef (s) need to be congratulated! The Christmas lunch menu delivered on every level. It was delicious, flavoursome and the portions were so large.
We were all so impressed by The Brook Inn that we’ve adopted it as our new favourite place to meet, the ambience and the whole experience was a delight!
Lovely welcoming pub with charming staff and really good food - we had a burger and tempura pickles & they were superb. Really nice well sized patio garden area out back to enjoy a pint in the sunshine. Was a bit confused by the ‘no dogs allowed’ sign on the door from the garden as dogs were in the bar area (and have water bowls provided in the garden) but it’s a lovely place and we’ll come back

WOAH! Okay... grab the attention, I've been here twice, the first time was ok. The second by accident, I booked my wife's birthday meal for her and the family. Purely on the basis that they had pork belly. Then realised we had been there before and it was a bit hit or miss, but it was around a year ago that I'd been there before.
Got there today and it was fairly busy, which is not my kind of atmosphere but some people like that so I've given it a 5/5
for atmosphere. The table layout is such that you don't feel like you're eating with the table next to you which is great. Even for a table of 5.
Lets move on to food as thats the main deal here people. WOW. I think they've got Gordon Ramsay Jr in the kitchen as you can hear this guy bark orders with the waitresses telling him to shh. But thats my kind of chef, clearly
passionate with high standards. Thats a good sign. One of us ordered the steak and it was all consumed which is a clear sign the steak was perfect. I recently had a tooth out, and scoffed the ham egg and chips which was great. My wife had the pork belly and she said it was lovely with the 'perfect' amount of gravy. She is a gravy connoisseur.
Lastly customer service was great, it was busy but they were attentive. I forgot to tip and I wish I had so I apologise. They asked once how the food was, aswell as asking if the steak was cooked to order which was a new one on me. Proactive not reactive! A great one. They even interuppted by saying...'sorry to interuppt' which i think is extremely well trained and polite (waiting?)
(Boring bits... they also cater gluten free, dairy free, nut free and vegan. Good selection of food, plenty of parking round the back but it does get busy so you might have to carefully park in the middle. Easy to find)
Bottom line is a 10/10 pub, in my opinion. In the words of the austrian oak...
I'LL BE BACK.
Lovely country pub. Good choice of all the pub classics plus specials board, so there's plenty to choose from. Decent plate fulls at good prices and very pleasant staff on hand as well. Lots of choices for gluten intolerant punters as well. Will definitely be back.
Fantastic fresh and tasty food, which was beautifully presented. A Lovely vibrant atmosphere and super friendly staff. Loved too that dogs are welcomed into the bar area and can sit under the table whilst you enjoy your meal. Very good value for money and would definitely recommend a visit. Advise booking ahead as it is very popular! 👌 😁
Had a lovely dinner here over Easter, amazing selection of gluten and dairy free options, I can't wait to come back! Food and service was fantastic.
Great little Village Pub, that serves excellent food at very good prices. Good real ale selection also, with three on tap. Friendly staff, will definitely visit again.
The photos were taken when we visited again on the 1st December 2018. Everything about this place is good, we really love it here.
Super food, mostly gluten free which is brilliant. Main drawback was it was very noisy where we were sitting. Next time we'll ask for a table in quieter spot.
Beautifully pub, stunning garden with really nice furniture, really well looked after. I believe it is a community pub. Food was excellent. Its a bit far to visit often but I will definitely return.
Another lovely meal served by friendly helpful staff in very pleasant surroundings. However a llack of much sound absorbing material means it can be a bit noisy at times. Looking forward to our next visit.
