The Bryansburn Inn

As regular customers for Sunday lunch, always a wonderful experience, it's been a pleasure and privilege to have been greeted warmly by Ian the manager. To watch how he quietly and effortlessly did his job, was a delight. Now today we learn he's semi retiring, we'll miss him, but wish him well for the future. Thanks Ian. Marlene and Robert

Didn't want the formality of restaurant dining, so opted for lunch in the lounge bar. The setting was warm and comfortable, if you don't mind horse racing on the big screen TV. Service was good and the menu adequate. I opted for the chicken stack with a side of skinny fries and my partner the 10oz sirloin with garlic potatoes. The portions were excellent and the food was of a good quality. My partners eyes were bigger than her tummy and couldn't finish hers, so you'll be glad to hear they will box up what you don't eat so you can take it home. I soldiered on and decided on dessert, for which I chose lemon cheesecake with ice cream, however, the waiter was distracted and I got fresh cream which at the end of the day I didn't mind, so no complaints, and it was beautiful served with fresh berries and honeycomb. Together with a large glass of wine for the lady and a pint of coke the bill came to a little over £60. Hadn't been here in years, but would recommend it for a lazy lunch followed by a few bevvies for those who want to make an afternoon of it.
