The Broughton

We made reservations and enjoyed a fabulous meal in a family filled casual elegant dining establishment. We had the prawns & crumpets, Caesar salad and the spring chicken with morels. Exquisite! My dirty martini hit the spot!

Excellent service, front of house staff were very friendly and attentive. Made us feel welcome. The food was something else. Some of the best food I've ever eaten. Absolutely brilliant. Take a bow

The food is delicious, but the service is extremely slow. We received our main course only after 1.5 hours. During the time we spent at the restaurant, we got hungry again and had to go buy food elsewhere. Such a shame (on Monday)

Such an incredible meal and experience at The Broughton - Sunday Roast was amazing and the whole team there were so delightful. Thanks for a great start to our Sunday!

Homemade focaccia, extra virgin olive oil & balsamic (GBP 6) - Excellent. Warm with good texture. East of Scotland crab crumpets (GBP 15) - The Thai style flavours were good but there could have been more crab. Stuffed lamb saddle for two (GBP 65) - Excellent. Tender and juicy. Scottish strawberry, creme fraiche parfait, tarragon (GBP 9) - Not bad though could do with more strawberries.

Located at the lower end of Broughton Street, The Broughton offers a welcoming mix of a pub and dining experience. As you enter, there’s a bar area to the left, leading into a cozy restaurant space with low lighting, green banquette seating, mustard-colored chairs, and exposed stone walls enhanced by subtle uplighting. The menu is refined and selective, featuring around ten starters, five mains, four sides, and four desserts. The cocktails were excellent. I tried the 25, a house special with cognac and Demerara, served elegantly in a long champagne flute—an outstanding choice. The Negroni was also well-executed. For the main course, the venison haunch was cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich sauce. The layered potato cube was a nice touch, and the Brussels sprouts with bacon were prepared in a unique, creamy style that worked well. Service was attentive, with a 10% service charge included in the bill. The overall ambiance was intimate and atmospheric, making it a great spot for a romantic meal or a relaxed evening with excellent food. A very positive experience.

Visited The Broughton on Sunday and tried their Sunday roast along with the focaccia to start which were both enjoyable. The roast was enjoyable, with the carrots and Yorkshire pudding being the standout elements on the plate. I also ordered the cauliflower cheese, though I found it had more roux than actual cheese which was a bit disappointing but overall a decent roast. A special mention to Dean for his exceptional service, and kudos to the rest of the staff for being so welcoming and pleasant.

The meal was absolutely excellent, bursting with flavor in every bite. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, making the experience even better. Truly worth every penny—I’d recommend it 100%!
