The Brickmakers

This is the third time we've been to The Brickmakers for a meal since moving to the local area. The food is always delicious and this is definitely becoming a go-to place for food. Last night, spoilt for choice, I was convinced to go for the chicken and chorizo pasta from the Specials board. It was excellent with cream, white wine, pesto, home made pasta, rocket and other delicious ingredients. We shared a dessert, brioche bread and butter pudding, which was also delicious. It is obvious the owners know their stuff. The food surpasses most pub meals you'd experience with ambience and we'll trained staff too. Highly recommend this excellent independent country pub. I have to agree with the owner on the last comments here about not enough choice etc etc. The reviewer must have been expecting Tom Kerridge or Gordon Ramsey to be in the kitchen ... although in our experience we've tried both and neither are as good, (possibly more about the name than the food) the menu choices are more limited and both are way, way more expensive.

Went to the Brickmakers for Sunday Lunch. A homely traditional village pub, log fire and lounging dogs in the bar walkers welcome. Simple but comfortable decor. Menu had good range of choices we went for the roast beef and vegetarian nut roast both delicious, excellent crispy roast potatoes, puffy yorkshires and lovely fresh veggies, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, carrots, parsnips and more. Puddings were also lovely and all served courteously with a genuine smile. Independent pubs who go the extra mile to deliver quality home cooking and value with excellent customer service are very rare this is a little gem give them a try.

As always, a great lunch at The Brickmakers. Food spot on and great care taken to ensure our garlic allergy catered for. Super service, which was efficient without being intrusive perfect for our girly catch up. My whippet was chilled enough in the cosy atmosphere to sleep under the table while we chatted and staff made a fuss of him. A great village pub and we feel very lucky it's just around the corner!

We had a great meal in a welcoming, friendly, local atmosphere. Good range of draft beer, nice wines and terrific well thought out menu. Would recommend to anyone.
