Bruce Poole and Nigel Platts-Martin opened Chez Bruce in 1995. From the outset, it was their intention to serve the very best food and drink but within a relaxed, informal yet thoroughly professionally orchestrated environment. At Chez Bruce we are not particularly into gadgets and tricks in the kitchen. Home-made charcuterie, slow cooked braises, offal, warm and cold salads, classical desserts and bread-making could be listed as specialities. We also take the cheese board very seriously indeed and it forms an integral part of the restaurant's day-to-day life. The Directors of the restaurant are fanatical wine-lovers and are very proud of the restaurant's wine list which truly is one of the very best in the UK.

    Myself and my partner went to celebrate his birthday. We loved every dish, the Trinity bread, the purple broccoli with hazelnuts, shrimp with leeks, aubergine schnitzel and the tiramisu were all delicious! The staff were exceptional, ambiance was lovely and calm even though the restaurant was pretty full and the kitchen is on full-view. We loved it, and will be making the trip there again soon.
