Sarums Brasserie & Bar

You'll find Sarums tucked into the Milford Hall Hotel on Castle Street, and it's got that reassuring feel of a restaurant that knows what it's doing. The room itself is straightforward—no designer faffing about—which means you can focus on actually enjoying your food and whoever you're with. It's the sort of place where locals come back because the kitchen takes brasserie classics seriously: proper sauces, good cuts of meat, vegetables that aren't an afterthought. Whether you're catching up with someone over a midweek supper or marking something worth marking, it does the job without pretension.
