Lovely to find the Brasserie open on Christmas Eve, my wife's birthday. Was able to get a nice four-person window table without booking - thank you. Once again we had a nice very reasonably priced meal in a nonstuffy, laid-back atmosphere. the manager/owner said hello which was since. Will be going again in 2024 for sure.

We all noticed how the quality has gone done here. Service very good but prices are now high and going up. Beans (not warmed) on untoasted bread £6.50. They did reheat promptly. Bacon tasty but scrambled egg dry ++. Such a shame because we’re not coming back.

Very mediocre food… and the coffee was lukewarm warm. One of the eggs was almost raw. Won’t be returning or recommending I’m afraid!

Visited for lunch and had a lovely time. The food was very nice and the staff were very helpful.

Large 'conservatory' style restaurant with an extensive outdoor seating area. Ideal breakfast venue but a bit on the pricey side compared to others in town. Not over the top but noticeable when the bill is received. Biggest negative is noise! Chairs & tables being moved creates a racket which, when busy, grates in your head, hence the reason I would only eat here when it is quiet.

Lovely outside seating area. That's the best thing I can say. The service was appalling. The staff were nice enough, but they were stretched WAY above capacity on a Saturday lunchtime.As for the food, the ideas are way above their station. A veggie breakfast was of basic quality, the main thing on the plate being four slices of budget toast. With no butter. The beans tasted like a budget brand too. I have had veggie breakfasts twice as good at half the price.The fries that came with the burger were cold as well. In fact, the table next to us sent theirs back.Gave up waiting to try and pay for the bill and went straight to the cash desk as it was taking so long. The lunchtime visit was over 90 minutes, none of which were satisfying. Will not be returning.

This place has a brilliant atmosphere as it is located in an enclosed yard, meters away from the buzzing market square. The serenity of the yard gives the place a very relaxing energy. Good coffee and great food! Plenty of breakfast options, sandwiches and ciabattas. For a true british taste, I recommend the Full English breakfast (or go for the mega one if you're a breakfast person...I usually skip it) I've been told that, where it's possible ,ingredients are sourced locally. (that explains the fresh taste ☺️) Also if you fancy a Mediterranean-style lunch, there's plenty of options to go around... from lasagna to steak. I'll definitely visit again, I've got my eyes on some dishes I want to try. ?

AVOID!!!This place needs to be investigated by the HSE! My salmon came with a salad, which was a left over salad from another person's plate. This was evident as it had half eaten ham in the salad! My partner also found a hair in his food.I've purely only give one star to be able to upload my post. I wouldn't give this restaurant any stars.
Had an ok lunch here. Lots of girls serving, yet service wasn't great. Food was fine - nothing wrong with it, but all fairly underwhelming. Everything was about 25% more expensive than it should have been in terms of quality. I had a very cheap sausage in a baguette. I asked for ketchup and was given some sachets (grrrrrr!!!). For such basic fare, I've paid about £4.50-£6.50 all around the country. This was £7.50. It's a pity, there seem to be a lot of better options within just a short stroll, so won't be rushing back.

A nice relaxed atmosphere, with pleasant staff. We had lunch, and the menu had enough choices for four. Would be nicer if we'd been given cutlery per place setting, rather than all dumped on the table. The food served was good and had generous portions. The website link on Trip Adviser seems wrong. The actual link is courtyardbrasserie.com

The food wasn’t the best with over cooked bacon. I’ve had much better full English from little village cafe. When one waitress came in all the talk you could here was about the gym sessions they all complete with foul language being used on a number of occasions. I’m always in the area every 4 months and have always seen it but never tried it. Now I’ve been to try it but won’t be going back.

I think 10 min wait for two coffees is too long and the quality was poor. The atmosphere was excellent and the staff very friendly to pleasant.

Have never found the service great here but have always liked the food. This time was particularly bad though. Took a while but the waitress eventually came over. Ordered drinks and food. Drinks came out. An hour later no sign of any food. When I enquired the waitress went off to the kitchen to ask. Apparently ours was next. We had watched them bring out everyone else's food- not quickly though I have to say. The people on the table next to us who came in after us also waited an age but at least got theirs before us! We decided to give up and were told sorry about that- your drinks are £9.00. What bad customer service. I would have apologised profusely and said the least we can do is give you the drinks for free. That would have at least persuaded me to go back there but we've decided never again!
Fantastic food and service. It's very well priced
