The Brasserie at Sopwell House is an open plan kitchen serving breakfast, lunch and dinner within this impressive Georgian Hotel in Hertfordshire.
Arriving at Sopwell House you will journey up the hotel’s smart driveway and find the historic white building that is home to a host of places to eat and drink, along with 128 impeccably decorated bedrooms.
The Brasserie is the hotel’s main restaurant, offering an open plan dining experience in a dining room with floor to ceiling windows, allowing the natural light to pour in. The restaurant’s all-day menu offers a fusion of British and Mediterranean classics, along with a daily specials board and a traditional Sunday Roast menu.
Guests dining Monday to Saturday may want to start with warmed English asparagus served with wild rocket, or keep things light with the ever-changing soup of the day. Mains include traditional British dishes such as corn-fed chicken breast with tarragon pomme duchesse, charred corn and morrel jus.
From the grill, you can choose a selection of steaks such as Angus beef fillet, Surrey beef ribeye or Chateaubriand. Sundays are ruled by the roast, with sirloin of British beef, roasted leg of lamb, free range chicken and a nut roast to choose from. When it comes to drinks, there is a carefully chosen mix of wines and champagnes, along with beers from the local brewery and a classic cocktail menu.
The dessert menu is home to many classic British desserts with a modern twist, including an orange cointreau brulee and pecan tart with vanilla ice cream. Dessert wines, ports and a coffee selection all offer a lovely finale to your dining experience.
Alongside The Brasserie, Sopwell House is also home to Pan Asian restaurant Omboo, which is inspired by the spice routes of Asia and the Far East, and The Octagon Bar, a swish, vintage-style cocktail bar.
And if you fancy making a weekend of it, the site boasts 128 rooms and suites - including the Mews Suites - with each of the 16 rooms individually designed. Besides - after tasting The Brasserie's dishes, you're guaranteed to be hungry for more.
