Brookmans is an imposing presence at the heart of Brookmans Park.  Re-opening in October 2011 after a major refurbishment, there’s a great buzz about the place. 

The activity centres round the island bar, where we’ll be happy to serve you a great cup of coffee, a decent pint of beer or a glass of chilled champagne.   Take a seat at the bar facing the door if you want to see and be seen, or find a cosy corner and settle into one of our comfortable armchairs. 

The eatery now shares the great atmosphere and feels warm and welcoming with its British Racing Green leather upholstery and hand-made silk lampshades.  On the walls hang historic posters from the Metroland era when Brookmans Park was built, part of the hugely-optimistic garden suburb movement.

Brookmans has now joined Peach, an award-winning independent group of gastropubs.  We believe in serving the good stuff, whether it’s food, drink or good times.  Our food is fresh, seasonal and high quality, prepared from scratch by skilled chefs. 

From breakfast onwards, there is always hot food available, with a full menu served throughout lunch and dinner, ranging from Superfood Salads to our Roast of the Day.  Our bar team is highly trained in serving freshly-brewed coffee from Union Hand-Roasted as well as the perfect pint or gin & tonic. 

With two private rooms also available for dinners, business meetings or special occasions we believe we can rise to any occasion, whether you come for a quiet drink or a glamorous celebration.

Head chef Charlie Barr and her team are cooking a menu featuring traditional pub favourites as well as something a little different. They are in the kitchen every day preparing all the dishes fresh on the premises.

We use the very best quality fresh ingredients - fantastic outdoor-reared pork sausages; free range chicken; simple, pan-fried fish & seafood; dry-aged British steak; wonderful, award-winning cheeses – all sourced from producers who take pride in their products & an ethical stance in their production.

Our menus will always make the most of seasonal ingredients,(this ensures we avoid air-freighting & keeps us in touch with the cycle of the year) while combining the best of great British cooking & influences from around the world that are now part of our culture.  Daily specials add an extra dimension, with premium specials at the weekends for that 'what the hell!' occasion.  We love quality local produce too, so if you have an allotment or kitchen garden with a glut of fruit or veg, bring it in & swap it for food or drink.  Fair exchange is no robbery.

We don’t have a children’s menu, because we think they should have the opportunity to eat a full range of good food.  Charlie is happy to make smaller portions or simplified versions of anything on our menu at half the adult price.

Get the day off to a cracking start by popping in for breakfast from 9am - we offer free toast & preserves when you buy a hot drink - or elevenses of local home-made cake & Union Hand-roasted coffee.

If you’re looking for a speedy lunch, order our Roast of the Day – a great quality roast with special vegetable dish of the day.  It’s carved to order & served straight away if you need to eat & run.  We carry on serving a range of hot & cold dishes including deli boards all through the day, with a full a la carte menu available in the bar or eatery from 6.30pm
