You might be forgiven for wondering if you had strayed into a place of worship when you first arrive at Brula. It's the stained glass windows (really good ones, too), the handsome pews, padded for the benefit of those with long memories of aching behinds, that make the point.

Brula fuses classic French style with contemporary cooking. A dedicated team is always on hand to recommend food or wine. The regularly changing menu focuses on fresh and seasonal produce from reputable and well researched suppliers, earning Brula it's eighth consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Line caught Cornish mackerel, English asparagus and horseradish cream sets the tone, followed by a delicious roast of baby chicken, prune sarladaise, carrots and tarragon sauce.
