Traditional British cuisine with carvery
Culinary-wise, the "Bramley Farm" is especially known for its traditional British cuisine, with a particular focus on carvery dishes. The highlight is undoubtedly the carvery section, where guests can choose from a selection of 14-hour slow-roasted meats such as beef, turkey, or gammon. These are served with fluffy Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, and a variety of vegetables – a true feast for lovers of classic pub food. In addition to the carvery, there are also other hearty options like juicy burgers or award-winning pies, known for their rich fillings. For those preferring something lighter, the menu also includes fresh alternatives like grilled fish.
Homemade cakes and desserts
A special feature of the restaurant is the in-house bakery, where huge, artistically decorated cakes are made daily by the so-called "Farmhouse Cake-a-tiers." The Chocolate Fudge Cake particularly stands out – a rich, chocolatey dessert often recommended as a sweet ending. Seasonal creations like the Bumble Berry Cake, a combination of lemon and raspberry sponge with colorful frosting, also provide variety and invite guests to try something new. The drinks menu complements the offerings with a selection of beers, including local ales, as well as non-alcoholic options like aromatic tea, which pairs well with the sweet specialties.
