Had a wonderful evening meal in Brunel’s. Definitely will return.

Very good value food. They have a very good chef who take a pride in his food e.g. when I got fish and chips it was fresh hake with a delightful tartre sauce. What’s not to like especially when it’s washed down win a local Maggies Leap IPA.

Small family Christmas Day lunch, beautiful courses and not rushed at all. I do find it can lack atmosphere especially when it’s not full but being Christmas Day it was full and this does make a difference

Called into Brunels without a reservation as I was in the area on business and had the family with me. Had an excellent dinner and the kids really enjoyed being seated in full view of the kitchen! I had the ribeye steak and my wife had the salmon and both of our meals were delicious. Steak was perfectly cooked. Would definitely return if in the area again. Highly recommended!

Had the pleasure of an evening meal with the Irish Cruising Club at Brunels restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere made for a memorable evening. The front of house manager excelled and backed up by an excellent team provided faultless service.

My son booked for 5. Starters were all good. Mains included two Iberico pork and pork cheek. The food and plates were barely warm on arrival and having tasted the food my son spoke to the head waiter and the plates were returned to the kitchen. It took a while to replace the plates and our companions were almost finished. I told the waiter that the pork on this replacement plate was disappointing compared to the pork on my lukewarm first plate. The waiter explained that the pork had been removed from the original plates whilst the plates were heated and accompaniments replaced then the original pork put back onto the now heated plates. We realised that my son and I had received each others meats!! In these post covid times surely this is very wrong! This was related to the head waiter. The restaurant took off the price of my meal £27. Not good enough as two people received in others meat!! This was a birthday treat that was severly marred by very poor Kitchen practise!

We went on a quiet evening, but this place is not to be missed.Food was exceptional.Vegetarian menu is great, I had celeriac and it was amazing. One of the best veggie meals I've had in Northern Ireland. I ordered potato gratin as a side, which was really tasty.My husband had the tomahawk steak with signature sauce. This cut was well worth the extra money. Perfectly cooked, and served with large mushrooms/ veg and a side of chips.Dessert was also really good, we had peach Melba, which was beautifully presented.Thank you so much for a wonderful evening, amazing food and great service. We're looking forward to returning.

Went here for our wedding anniversary, Alan was so good and made a big deal of it. The food was so good I didn't want it to end.
