Brula

We went to Brula for the fourth time on Saturday and for the fourth time had a delicious meal, served in a timely manner by the friendly and attentive staff under Kirsty's discreetly ever-watchful supervision. Owner Lawrence Hartley is a delightful host and gave us - and everyone else, I think - his good-humoured attention as well as, when we requested it, the benefit of his wine knowledge.

The menu has evolved slowly over the eight months or so we've been going to Brula - too slowly, some might say - but we've never had any trouble choosing starters or mains and they've always been cooked pretty much to perfection. And no over-salting or over-saucing, as far as we're concerned!

I do love my desserts, so perhaps I should not be too critical of the rather limited range of puds, well-executed tho they are...and maybe I should go for the very decent selection of cheeses instead. Next time...!
