For main course I chose the Confit Rabbit with coco beans, pepper relish, cherry tomatoes and Proven\u00e7al sauce, a nice rustic dish of comfort food and he went for the Wild Brill with Roast Scallops, both dishes were of the usual high standard.\u00a0 Then we had an extra cheese course prior to our dessert &#8211; The Chez Bruce Cheese boards are not to be missed. The dessert, which we hardly had room for after this feast, was an Apricot and Almond Tart and a Bramley Apple and Blackberry Crumble.\u00a0 I would also recommend asking the friendly Sommelier to select glasses of wine to match your dishes as they have a good range by the glass (most for less than \u00a310.00). Another nice touch here is the lovely home made shortbread that comes with the surprisingly reasonable bill.
