Absolutely beautiful restaurant and fantastic large outdoor dining area which is great on a nice sunny day dining by the canal. The food is always at a high standards and having eaten there several times now I can say I've eaten a lot from the main menu and have never had any problems whatsoever. The staff are attentive, polite and even spark into some friendly conversation which is nice. They have a reasonable lunch time offer for 2 course or three course meals. They also offer pre-theatre menus too. Can't fault the place.

You will find greenery running all upside the walls as well as a fantastic view of the canal. In the evening the ambience inside is also great. Reservations are available but you can usually get in without too much of a wait time. On this occasion I ordered a spinach and mushroom crepe which was fantastic! It's probably my favourite vegetarian dish that they do. It's a sensible portion that leaves you satisfied. For dessert I ordered the praline crepe which was again fantastic. You generally find with dessert crepes that they can do no bad no matter where your buying it from. Cotes crepes are above standard in terms of quality with a light pancake and not overly sweet praline feeling. For me in particular this restaurant shines in the summer. The cocktails are great and the dining experience is unique.

The Brasserie is a lively place to eat whether you would like to try a relatively cheap lunch…read more(£11.90 for two courses with a glass of wine), or a more relaxed and expensive evening meal like we did. Individual starters range from £5.95 to £7.45; mains from £9.75 to £18.00 with steaks costing up to £27.50 for an 8oz Aberdeen fillet; puddings are around £5. Overall the food and general ambiance was very good, but the service was a little under par considering the place and the pricing. Overall highly recommended either for a great value lunch or a special evening meal.

Today I had their Farm Chicken that came stuffed with creamed leeks, a top creamed potatoes and with sides of wild mushrooms. It was quite tasty overall. The jus that came with it could have been a bit more flavorful and I wish the chicken had not been cooked with the skin on it. Overall it was a great meal and their wine list was not bad either. PROS: Music, great staff, wonderful atmostphere, good food. CONS: Music was too loud for the small place and was hard to hear others.

Although I think it is trying to be a bit of both. On both nights, the ambiance was different... one night the music was quite loud and there was a large crowd of young guys that were a bit rowdy, putting Mr. Snarky off of the place, and on the other night it was quiet and intimate. The menu actually seems like a combination of two menus, the first is a more upmarket menu that you would find in a gastro pub while the other menu include pub classics and the presentation between the dishes on each section of the menu further confirms that they are almost two different menus. On the first visit, I had the steak and Mr. Snarky had the Lamb Shank. The steak was a bit fatty, but the triple cooked chips... mmmm although watch out, they retain a lot of heat. Mr. Snarky must have enjoyed his Lamb Shank a lot as I didn't even get a bite! It was gone in the blink of an eye. On the second visit, I had the Pie of the Day with veg and Mr. Snarky had the Chicken and Chorizo Pasta with a Cajun Tomato Sauce. The Pie of the Day was Chicken and Leek and it actually comes with Dauphinoise Potatoes, but when I think of Pie, I think of Mash. So I asked to substitute the Dauphinoise Potatoes with Mashed Potatoes. And actually the menu doesn't specify if it comes with any potatoes, just seasonal veg. The pie was delicious, although there isn't much sauce, so if you decide to go for the mash with your pie, you may want to see about some gravy. The veg was nice, but perhaps someone got a bit carried away with the spices as I couldn't really taste much of the veg. Mr. Snarky's pasta was nice, but I didn't taste any Cajun spices in the sauce. We suspect that the Chorizo may have overpowered any attempt at seasoning. However, the star of the night (well, my night) was the Bread and Butter Pudding made with croissants and white chocolate. It was lovely! The top was a bit crunchy and buttery while the rest of the pudding was gooey and custardy. It really is a very good dessert. Don't ask me what Mr. Snarky had because after the first bite of my dessert, the rest of the night was a bit of a blur ;). Anyway, they do have some really good food, but sometimes the ambiance is a bit off.

The recently opened Brasserie menu seemed better value and more generally appealing. The location is good, in the yard behind Odell's hardware store. In addition the main restaurant area there is some outside seating in the paved yard area. Shortly after we arrived we benefitted from someone from the kitchen, presumably the owner, swearing to his staff asking them if they'd asked the customers if they had used the car park. We gather their had been a problem with a customer leaving their car late, at which point the car park is locked. Whilst we may have benefitted from the warning about the car park, we didn't appreciate the language and it got the evening off to a bad start. The meal started with a complimentary amuse-bouche: cold courgette with some herbs and spice sprinkled on top and a small flower. Unfortunate the soup, and the heavy home-made roll that it was served with, were both disappointing. Our first course was Brie Parcels (£6) which had rather soggy pastry and a very over-dressed salad and scallops with cod cheeks (£9) which was much more successful. The mains were a cap rump steak (£18), which was nicely cooked with triple-cooked chips, and a double cooked pork dish (£11) was nice, but rather dry in the middle: the accompanying sauce was good, but unfortunately there wasn't enough of it. Puddings (£7) included a rather nice soufflé, but the pastry on a pear frangipan was thin at one end, thick at the other and very chewy. Overall it was a disappointment, which seems a shame: some elements were very good, but the food was disappointing in places and at these prices that shouldn't be the case. We'll probably come and try it again in 6-12 months time, and hope it has got into its stride.
