Low ceilings and a centuries-old feel set the tone at this gastropub in Bray, where the kitchen runs on French technique and old-school British instincts. The menu skips trends entirely: pâté, pie and mash, market fish cooked simply, and a dessert list anchored by syrup sponge. There's a private dining snug decorated with the chef's own artwork, which either charms you immediately or raises questions you probably shouldn't voice.
