Dining

Local produce forms the backbone of the Brooks menu, and you can expect satisfying dishes such as Hereford rib-eye steak with hand-cut chips and garlic butter. You’ll take your full English breakfast in the grand library-turned-dining room, and it’s worth opting for dinner too, as it showcases beautifully presented modern British cuisine, using local fresh produce wherever possible.
