“If you want to experience an authentic pub, eat home cooked food and be served with wonderful service then this is the place. Tucked away in Colden Common, the Brambridge Arms welcomes you with a warm and cozy feeling unlike most other pubs nowadays. The bar is long and has an extensive range of draft beer, ale and cider. I had a Brie and bacon with cranberry sauce baguette with a side of chips (Usually comes with tortilla chips but I didn't want them today). For my drink I had a pint of Orchard Thieves. The food was fresh, made from quality ingredients and you can tell it was made to order. Chips were salty and chunky with a generous portion. Can't complain about the pint, was solid! Whilst on the pricey side, costing me a total of just under £20. I felt that it was justified with the quality food and atmosphere.”

Fantastic English rural pub. I booked via Google which worked flawlessly. We had Sunday roast for three, I had beef which was tender and perfectly cooked. Tons of very well prepared veg and a Yorkshire with all meat options. Our server was absolutely fantastic as were the entire team.

We've been going to this pub, formerly the Dog and Crook for many years. Although we thought it went downhill at first the new people are running an excellent pub serving a good range of ales and ciders. The food is also very good. We went on a Sunday. The roast was generous and tasty with five different vegetable accompaniments. The scampi was good the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Not had a bad meal in several visits. Beer is now Timothy Taylor or Tribute. No local brews sadly.

“We decided to try this restaurant from my partners birthday lunch. Booking was really easy online, and they sent a reminder email a couple of days before to check i still wanted the table. We arrived a little early and they were more than happy to show us to our very comfortable round booth table. There was a good selection of wines by the glass and the bottle, as well as beers. We decided to do the lunch set menu, which was delicious, and well priced. At the end of the meal the discount via the set menu was £5 off each. We had bread to start which was fresh and crunchy. The Farmhouse Terrine was delicious served with the jam. We were pleased with our choice and the jam complemented it well. We both had the Pork Schnitzel, which was also delicious. The combination of anchovies and capers was great, the bits with the anchovy on were especially a highlight. The baby Gem was also really good. We finished our meal with delicious puddings, which weee both really good. A lovely venue in the centre of town. £50 a head for three courses and drinks. A delicious lunch”

“We came to this restaurant on a whim as we wanted something different before seeing a movie nearby. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and attentive. The decor is lovely and the whole place has a nice ambience. We had calamari and garlic bread for starters which were both delicious and fresh. I don’t usually like calamari but my partner loves it and we both enjoyed it! I had a beef sizzler for main which was good. The beef burger my partner had was really the star of the show. I was very jealous! It was juicy, fresh and really flavourful. Burgers are often hit or miss and this was definitely a hit. I’m keen to go back soon to have a whole burger to myself. My only teeny tiny request would be a proper dessert menu! I love sweets and I feel as though the chefs could do something really good seeing as the savoury food was so delicious.”

“Great food, lovely staff and a really nice atmosphere. We had the roast to share which came with half a chicken, beef and pork belly which was very tasty and plenty of food to share. The desserts were delicious too”

“Had a lovely Roast this afternoon, the staff were lovely and quick to assist with our special requests. The cauliflower cheese was delicious and I asked for my beef rare which the staff had absolutely no issue with. Lovely meal and lovely service. We also had a baked cookie for dessert which was delicious.”

“Having heard the pub had changed hands we have now visited twice for lunch. Both times the food and service has been excellent. First visit we had hoagies, and second time around a burger and loaded nachos. I couldn't fault any of it, pub food very well done. A lovely, tidy pub with friendly staff, great beer and good food. Would have expected it to be busier at a Saturday lunchtime, so wanted to pop a review on as this pub deserves to be busier! Thanks, will be back ☺️”

“This place is absolutely stunning. It's such a warming vibe as soon as you walk in. Dwayne was such an amazing host to our visit; his knowledge was an unexpected bonus, to say the least. The food was just incredible, too. Cannot fault a single thing. Will be coming here everything I'm back from London”

“We stopped at this lovely pub as it was near the hotel we were staying at that night. We found it easy to access with good parking, we were welcomed by really lovely and friendly staff who served us our drinks and took us to a table overlooking the lake. The young lady serving us was really lovely (Ellie I think) , she had only started working there a short while ago but didn’t come across like she was new. She was knowledgeable, chatty, friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was delicious, one of the best fillet steaks I’ve had in a very long time, the peppercorn sauce was delicious as was everything on my plate. My husband had the burger with pulled pork on it and onion rings and skinny fries, I had the triple cooked chips (amazing!). To finish off I had the mini crumble with a double espresso, the mini crumble was not quite so mini and was fabulous with custard - sooooooooo delicious and we would definitely go back again thank you we had the best evening at the pub thank you.”

“Was early when we got there very quiet and sat straight away no waiting for service. Menu was good. I'm a non vegan but had the vegan tacos and my wife had the pie. Both were very tasty and filling. Was to full to try the pudding but they had a great selection.”
