  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for craft beers
  • Charming
We’re big on warmth, low on fussiness: stripped wood floors, high bar stools, painted brickwork and comfy leather banquettes. Sup your pint beside our polished-oak bar or tuck yourself away in the Snug behind the frosted glass partition. You can hear yourself talk, concentrate on the crossword or nod off quietly in the corner.

To help keep everyone safe, our teams will continue to wear face masks and we'd love you to do the same when nentering and moving around the pub and dining room.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding and we look forward to seeing you.

    Excellent staff and wonderful food Very noisy tables near us and was an hour of really loud talking shouting and laughing which was noticeably different to our first experience and nothing really that staff can change Just hard to hear ourselves speak and had to go with it …we did a 9pm booking and would go back to an earlier time when we come again

    Great service food is good but portions quite large for main course and bar snacks were more than snacks so maybe bear in mind when ordering main course perhaps just 1 or 2 bar snacks to share. Sadly haddock had run out by 8.00pm. Wine we ordered was not that great as no body to it given Australian Chardonnay which is normally full of body for a white.

    The food was outstanding and great value for such high quality, the service again was amazing and the drinks excellent. We will visit again, only downside was it is very busty and tables very close together and it became a little noisy at times.

    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!

    Fantastic Sunday lunch, pace of service was perfect and the choice of drinks is excellent. Special shout out to the slightly rare roast beef.

    Good service with great food. Always a welcoming place and a fabulous meal is guaranteed. Interesting range of well kept beers and wines. Well deserving its place on the best 50 gastropubs and the Michelin Bib Gourmand.
