Four adults had a fantastic Sunday lunch as much veg just need to ask and out it came. One of the governors served us 4 Sunday roasts, 3 beef and 1 lamb. I had the beef and it was perfect plus roasted veg with roasted garlic, banging and lovely gravy. We stayed for about 6 hours and had plenty to drink. We the 4 of us highly recommend having a Sunday lunch there. Thank you to all at The Brasserie
