Gazette is excellent for a weekend brunch. There can be a few feral kids running around but that's up to their parents. The staff are efficient and friendly and the food is very good.

The atmosphere was so nice. I went on a date on a Tuesday and had the 2-4-1 stakes which were cooks perfectly. The only downside is it has to be the same stake but I didn’t really nice. We had 2 rump stakes and some bread and butter which only came to £30 I would definitely recommend coming on a Tuesday.
