Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Very Good

Stylishly revamped and redecorated in recent times, Brook's occupies an appealing contemporary space upholstered in two tones of blue, with uncovered tables, bare floors and snazzily patterned walls hung with small mirrors. In this valued local venue, Dan Maxwell offers a small-plates menu for mixing and sharing, and readers are quick to praise the imaginative energy behind it. There always seems to be something new on the menu. That might mean veg dishes such as an Indian-inspired chickpea and nettle samosa in makhani sauce or a spring risotto of broad beans, peas and wild garlic with goat's curd. A delightful contrast of sharp seasonings and svelte textures piques the taste buds and helps to distinguish a scallop ceviche with avocado and pickled rhubarb.

More substantial protein offerings encompass fillets of Shetland plaice in tomato, olive and oregano butter, while meat dishes might look to North Africa for pulled lamb and feta, teamed with butter beans dressed in preserved lemon and harissa. Sourdough bread is on hand for the thrifty mopping of sauces. Weekend brunch plates are a star turn, as are the unabashedly indulgent desserts. Try resisting the treacle tart with mascarpone or the white chocolate crémeux with roast peaches. Actually, don't try. Give in.
