Reviews Brouge Gastropub

I absolutely love the place. For beer lovers, there's an amazing menu with Belgian beers. The food is so good. It's really rare to find a place where you can find both food and drinks for a good price and high quality.

Brouge catered for our friend George’s centenary lunch celebration on October 14th. There were 26 of us with a varied 2 course menu and drinks. They provided 2 parking spaces for our elderly guests and disabled access was very good. The food was of a very high standard and the puddings were particularly delicious ( all of our older friends having a very sweet tooth!)The staff were efficient but unobtrusive and nothing was too much trouble. It’s a lovely airy venue for a special occasion and the staff went out of their way to ensure everyone had a memorable time. A particular mention for Victor who was so helpful with the planning and execution of the whole event. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Brouge for any special party.

Lovely food...I had fish & chips....generous portion of fish...2 pieces. Very good batter...crispy. Sat in the garden....good service...friendly

Love this place, great food, drink selection is superb and staff are cheerful and helpful..,oh yeah and the ribs were fantastic

Excellent place.. marvellous mussels in wheat beer sauce washed down with more Belgium beer.. even kids food looked good

Attended a 50th birthday meal, with a huge amount of people for sit down 3 course dinner...waiting staff were excellent, fast and efficient. Food was awesome too

We have been to the Brouge a few tilted and the food just gets better and better. We visited this Friday and the service was perfect and the food was delicious.

They have one of the best beer battered haddock and chips in town! It was worth every penny. They are also on Deliveroo so that's pretty handy

Excellent food , great beers, good price.

Updated VIsit: So this is another post on visit to Brouge which is more recent and I ate outdoors so I could get decent pics, my original write up is below and mentioned it was quite dark on my first visit. It's definitely an indulgent place to eat with these parma ham wrapped figs with goats cheese (you can't see the goats cheese but its definitely in there). They are good hearty servings, the figs and the baked cheese and pastry tart (de-constructed) below were both starters with ample on offer - so very good value with these meals.
   
The chic geek had the Fish pie as a main on this visit and I must admit on the day, it was the better of the two mains. I had the mussels previously and they hadn't been de-bearded very well on this occasion and weren't as good as my first visit and looked a little messy when presented. But the fish pie was deliciously creamy and cheesey with a typically French styled richness with herbs. Of course we had to finish of with my nemesis, the Strawberry Waffle, this dessert goes without saying. When I come to Brouge it is a necessity that I order it, it puts me in a super natural state every time. 

Brouge has decent and spacious outdoor seating area as well and with the copious amounts of different beers on offer is a great way to spend summer evenings. 

My original: Post I may have to return to this impressive eatery during the day time to really capture the essence of the food (and I did as above :)). The Hollister styled lighting at the Old Goat gives a nice ambience however, my camera which normally works in low light, struggled with this one. 
I had a delightful surprise mothers day meal sprung upon me by my two 'Rascals'. I imagine it was probably one of the busiest days of the year for food service, and when we arrived it was bursting with crowded tables of families. I was pleased to see that they were serving their usual menu, not some mocked up, boarderl-ine boring, Sunday roast menu. We had plenty of time to enjoy a pint from their extensive list of beers, actually over 95 different types of which to choose, hooo weee! The serving staff was a particularly pleasant waitress who seemed very knowledgeable of the menu and was most helpful. However, I must admit food service was slow, to be expected, but when the food arrived, it was as good as any excellent French bistro. In spite of the pressure on possibly one of the busiest days of the year, the chef(s) didn't compromise on the quality of the food. It was slow yes, but the food superseded any delay. Funny that I particularly enjoyed the lettuce, something about the dressing, sweet, fresh, sharp very tasty. I started with the Pate, Rascal 1 had the Figs with Goat Cheese and Rascal 2 - Chilli Nacho's. Three different starters and all three delicious in their own right. I particularly liked the fig with goat cheese parma ham. You get the creamy saltiness of the cheese & parma with the sweet earthiness of the fig, it was actually sublime. I was envious of Rascal 1's choice, but equally happy with the Pate (Pate is my guilty pleasure, I must have it where ever I go). It was served with bread, one of which was crusted with poppy seeds - a winner in my book. The chilli nacho's were great too, super thick chips not soggy. 
For the mains it was Moules and Burger. Rascal 2 opted for a chicken burger and we had mussels two ways with frites. I opted for the Moules a la Creme and Rascal 1 had the Moules with Chorizo.
Out of the two Moules (both of which were delightful and tasty) I liked the cream based mussels. The sweet onions, savoury delicate mussels with the creme sauce add a sense of indulgence. If you're anything like me who doesn't eat a lot of cream - this is the meal you want to save your calories for. It was finger licking good, I have had Moules in Belgium and France etc etc. but these guys are the real McCoy. One must get involved, this is not a dish you want to fiddle about your cutlery with. I like to get stuck in and yes you might end up with half of your meal down your front and on your chin, but by golly its worth it, so don't be shy. 
Finish off the meal with any one of their sweets, our dessert du jour was the white cheesecake and a strawberry waffle. The stand out dishes are the true to type Belgium classics, the mussels and the waffles, but damn their other food is great too!
Lets face it, this is one of the best wholesome eatery's in Twickenham, and I'm already saving up those calories for my next feast!

Food is absolutely fantastic! Best roast I’ve had out! Portion sizes are huge as well. service was a little slow to clear the table and take orders etc but staff were pleasant and friendly.

Well done Brouge team - you get better year on year. This is the place I always feel home, and have splendid food and drink. The beer selection, both foreign and local, has no parallels. And the cocktails! wow, that’s art. Well done !

Lovely Belgium pub and the mussels and fries were great! Tasty, generous portion size and a good variety of choice on the menu. Staff were lovely and hospitable too.

Excellent food. Everything was delicious. Nice atmosphere and great staff.

Food is very well presented and looks great. The moule et frite is very tasty, Belgium stew was also a very tasty dish. Fish and chips were good. Outside seating was very pleasant. Very good menu to choose from. Excellent choice of beers and ales and also many bottled Belgian beers to choose from. Staff are very welcoming and are happy to help. Prices are moderate. Free parking for 4 cars on the pub forecourt, otherwise on street parking with restrictions. Would eat here again.

Great range of beers. Had dinner with my family here last night and we all loved the food. The fajitas were lovely. The service was excellent too. Will definitely go again.

I had the mussels, and they were very nice. Unlike the ones at Cotes, which have cream in the white wine broth, these ones do not, which I prefer. Went back again for the mussels, and they didn’t disappoint. My wife also pointed out that the chips were excellent, so I’m upgrading my review to a “5.”

Popped in for a couple of drinks with my wife as it's not far from where we live and I love Belgian beer. We were greeted at the bar by friendly staff and took our drinks outside in the garden where there was a good atmosphere and plenty of seating. Everyone was in good spirits and we felt very welcome. I had a bottle of Orval Belgian beer which I've had before and my wife had a Grey goose vodka. We enjoyed our drinks so much that we ordered the same again. Unfortunately, the heavens opened shortly after we got our drinks and had to duck under a parasol on another table.. If we hadn't already made dinner plans, we would've definitely ordered food. We look forward to returning to Brouges very soon for food and drink.
