    Lovely lunch with family. We had Woodmans pizza, Woodmans burger and chicken supreme. All well presented, tasty and reasonable value for money. We had a couple of glasses of the pinot grigio blush which wete lovely and also a couple of diet pepsi. Foe dessert we didn't have food, so we had lattes and a hot chocolate. All lovely and just enough after our main meals. Altogether a lovely meal in a lovely setting.

    My wife and I made our first visit to The Broad Chare for lunch, upstairs in the dining room, to celebrate my birthday, and what an excellent choice we made. We decided to mark the occasion by having the T-bone steak to share - we realised that neither of us had ever had that cut before - and I can't imagine it could be better. The meat was perfectly cooked, the blue cheese salad was delicious, it was a memorable dish. The starters were excellent as well - can't say much about the desserts because all we were capable of by that stage was lemon sorbet each! When we arrived there was only one other table occupied, but it soon filled up and was a really good atmosphere. Staff were all friendly and efficient. A bit pricy, but it was a birthday lunch and definitely worth it!
