    Had a very enjoyable lunch at Brook Bistro. The beef brisket croquettes were delicious - one of the nicest things I’ve ever tasted. The service was excellent and the food presentation was lovely. We sat outside in the rear garden area as it was a lovely sunny day which was very nice indeed. Thoroughly enjoyed.

    This was a new restaurant for us ,when we arrived we were warmly greeted by a staff member.She showed us to our table which I didn't like and she Very kindly moved us to a booth.The restaurant was empty on our arrival I asked about bookings and she said they were fully booked .We looked at the menu and decided on three small dishes flat breads fries and tomato salad as did my brother and sister in law .They were all absolutely delicious coming out at different times but all worked perfectly.Ee had two bottles of house wine again both very good .My only critique of the restaurant is they should put glass panels in the booths so U feel part of the restaurant and arrange tables in the window area to eat at . definitely go back
