com Location is everything for Bretts; the nearby deli supplies the restaurant and bar with fresh local ingredients, and its prime spot next to a garden centre makes it easy to stop by for a sandwich after shopping. Bretts is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers an extensive range of dishes, including specials and vegetarian options like the asparagus and pea tartlet.

I enjoyed my surf and turf, which came with a generous helping of dressed salad and garden peas; the beef was succulent and the spicy chilli king prawns contrasted beautifully with the smooth dip. A meal at Bretts will keep the whole family happy, as a children’s main meal comes with complimentary ice cream for dessert. Sunday lunches are always popular, and the meat used is from a farm just two miles down the road. Make sure you try one of the lovely cream teas too, especially in the summer when you can dine alfresco. As if offering such excellent food wasn’t enough, Bretts is never short of entertainment either, hosting a cabaret on a monthly basis. The restaurant is also available for private hire, making it ideal for everything from celebrations to business lunches. A family-run restaurant and bar with a personal touch, Bretts will surpass your expectations.
