Brouge - Twickenham (Twickenham)

• Our favourite pub with plenty of beer choice and food for the whole family
• 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)
• 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 fish pie was deliciously creamy and cheesey with a typically French styled richness with herbs
• Course we had to finish of with my nemesis
• When I come to Brouge it is a necessity that I order it
• 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
• I imagine it was probably one of the busiest days of the year for food service
• When we arrived it was bursting with crowded tables of families
• I was pleased to see that they were serving their usual menu
• The serving staff was a particularly pleasant waitress who seemed very knowledgeable of the menu and was most helpful
• Rascal 1 had the Figs with Goat Cheese and Rascal 2 Chilli Nacho's
• I particularly liked the fig with goat cheese parma ham
• Equally happy with the Pate (Pate is my guilty pleasure
• One of which was crusted with poppy seeds a winner in my book
• The mains it was Moules and Burger
• Out of the two Moules (both of which were delightful and tasty) I liked the cream based mussels
• 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
• These guys are the real McCoy
• I like to get stuck in and yes you might end up with half of your meal down your front and on your chin
• 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
• This is one of the best wholesome eatery's in Twickenham
• My favourite has to be roast beef with yorkies and all the trimmings
• I am always on the lookout for that restaurant that is going to satisfy my tastebuds and remind me of my Mum's
• With that in mind I ventured down to Brouge with my English buddy to check out their offerings
• At the time of writing this the Sunday carvery is available for £
• I settled on the roast beef naturally and it was generously carved as I waited
• Fresh and there was plenty of it
• Unfortunately my eyes were too big for my stomach and I couldn't finish or have room for dessert
• My companion cleared hers though and we both agreed it was the best roast we'd had in ages
• Everything here comes with both our seals of approval
• Both me and my friend were left feeling a bit misled
• The ambiance and the general atmosphere were gratifying
• Perhaps that further underscores my disappointment with a meal I was then expecting to be very
• Brouge at the Old Goat offer a huge selection of beer something like 85+ varieties (cue ooh ing and aah ing) and the only problem with this is knowing which one to select
• My friend chose moules mariniere Brouge's signature dish and was very disappointed
• I have heard good things hopefully what we experienced was a bit of a one off
• They have one of the best beer battered haddock and chips in town
• The strawberry Belgian waffle was good and mildly sweet
