Brasserie Brunel – Parisian Style Restaurant

Casual dining in a Parisian style brasserie setting with a menu to match.

Our refurbished restaurant is located in the lovely Grade II listed building designed by the famous architect Isambard Kingdom Brunel and we have named our new dining venue in tribute to this famous designer.

The decor and furnishings have been modelled on a traditional Parisian brasserie and the menu features a number of French specialities together with grills, including steaks, for which we are renowned. Wherever possible our food is sourced locally.

Open from 18:00-21:00 (last orders).

The 1846 Bar

Freshly made coffees – cappuccino, latte and espresso – and a selection of teas together with pastries, sandwiches and cream teas are available throughout the day.
