About Aqua Brasserie

Aqua Brasserie on Whiteladies Road is the perfect venue for hosting unforgettable events. Part of the Aqua Restaurants group, founded in 1998 by proprietor Richard Smithson, this independent, family-run business has built its reputation on contemporary cuisine, warm hospitality, and a commitment to sustainability. With its relaxed yet elegant atmosphere and a menu crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients, Aqua is an exceptional choice for any occasion.

Situated in the heart of Clifton, Aqua Brasserie is easily accessible, with nearby parking and excellent transport links. Its on-trend, contemporary interior offers a sophisticated backdrop for events, from milestone birthdays and baby showers to corporate gatherings and festive celebrations. Whether you’re planning an intimate get-together or a larger event, Aqua’s versatile setting and friendly staff ensure your day will be seamless and memorable.

The menu is ideal for groups, offering dishes perfect for sharing. Begin with nibbles like roasted garlic and mozzarella flatbread or courgette fritti with garlic aioli. For mains, the Exmoor lamb shank, slow-braised to perfection, or the Castelmead Chicken Milanese with rich tomato linguine are both hearty crowd-pleasers. For a lighter option, the wild mushroom pappardelle is a favourite among vegetarian diners.

Looking for something unique? Aqua’s afternoon tea is a delightful option for daytime events. Enjoy an assortment of finger sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, and a selection of pastries, paired with your choice of teas. For an elevated experience, add a glass of Laurent-Perrier Brut with their Champagne Tea.

For a fun, interactive element to your event, Aqua’s cocktail-making classes are a hit. Led by bartender Harrison Withers, you’ll learn to craft favorites like French martinis and Mai Tais, perfect for breaking the ice or celebrating with flair. With its welcoming ambiance, adaptable menu and exciting extras, Aqua Brasserie ensures every event is extraordinary.
