The Brasserie Bleue

Archant

The team at the helm have worked hard to earn a well-deserved reputation for offering great value, beautifully cooked, classic dishes with an exciting French twist, served in relaxed and informal family-friendly surroundings.

Head Chef, James Barber, has created tempting, but great value prix fixe and a la carte menus with traditional food created from the best of the region’s natural larder from land and sea. There’s also an extensive wine list with both easy-drinking and fine vintages from the world’s best wine producing countries selected by the hotel group’s head sommelier, François Belin.

With the belief that eating out should be a fun experience, shared with family and friends - children can choose from anything from the specially prepared kids menu or ask for a smaller portion from the main menu.
