As always, I cannot find fault with the Brook Bistro. The waiting staff were very efficient and the food was delicious. The Bistro was decorated beautifully for Christmas, giving the ambience a very festive feel. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Fabulous food and staff friendly but not overly attentive which I like. Could do with a lobby entrance as front door is straight to the street and it was a bit cool and draughty when the door was opened. Other than that would recommend the Bistro to all my friends

The food is very good at the Brook, but could have been hotter, that is my only complaint, and although it was quite noisy, that wasn’t a problem and everyone was enjoying themselves. The owners are very accommodating and nothing seems to be a problem, the staff are very friendly. I am going again next week, with a group of 16. Looking forward to it.

Such fantastic service. Greeted with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. Kept our table even though we were running late. Decorated the table and gave us bucks fizz to celebrate best friend's 40th. Stunning brunch. 5 stars!

Attractive dining areas, food well presented and of a very good standard at a reasonable price. Service was excellent. The serious downside was the noise level, even in early evening, which made it impossible to hold a conversation with any ease. Sadly, unlikely to return.

We had a warm welcome and despite the restaurant being very busy there were plenty of staff to deal with orders. Service was swift but not rushed. The food was really well presented and tasted great. There was a good selection of choices to suit most tastes. Good drinks list and comfortable ambience. I would recommend and will be visiting again

All dishes that we had were tasty and the right temperature. Between us we tried the soup, a salad and 2 mains. Service was overall good although we had a bit of a delay at the start with taking our orders etc - overall good though. Somewhere we will look to visit again.

We visited the Bistro for a birthday celebration and tried the Autumn set menu. The choices were excellent, the food was incredible and it was such great value for money. As always, the staff were very attentive, the interior was beautiful and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you guys, 10/10!

I took my mother to Brooks Bistro for her birthday and she is very hard to please, I have to say that for the first time in a very very long time, she had nothing negative to say, the food was fabulous she was especially enthusiastic about the sticky toffee pudding at the end with the homemade custard, so overall it was really enjoyable the Sunday lunch was so tasty. The wine was a little overpriced at £36.00 a bottle however, we dont eat out often so it was worth it
