• Contemporary British • Brookmans Park
Booked 18 times today
With opulent interiors and a contemporary bar and eatery, we are proud to have become a hub for the local area. Join us for a great cup of coffee, a decent pint of beer, or a glass of chilled champagne. Take a seat at the bar facing the door if you want to see and be seen, or find a table in the garden room which opens out onto the terrace. The eatery is warm and welcoming with deep teal walls and splashes of rich mustard yellow offset by soft greys lit by twinkling chandeliers. On the walls hang historic posters from the Metroland era when Brookmans Park was built, part of the hugely-optimistic garden suburb movement.

    Met some friends for drinks and nibbles, so only had the chicken strips and fries which were top-quality. Cocktails were delicious, and the staff were really friendly and helpful - that perfect balance where you're looked after but not too frequently. The venue was less than half full (as we were there 4pm) but atmosphere was perfect : it wasn't too quiet, but conversely the music wasn't too loud that you felt you had to shout to be heard.

    Been at carriages a number of times and never been disappinted with the service. The staff are very attentative and polite. The food is off a high quality, we have tasted most of the items on the menu and enjoyed every one of them. Highly recommend if you want a nice relaxing evening in a quality Italian restaraunt.

    The food was excellent as was the service. If you are looking for delicious, well presented food in an intimate atmosphere, the Samrat should be high on your list.
