s Brasserie is our favourite place to eat . The Menus are nicely thought out , with constant variations & special event menus . We have been so impressed with the Staff , high levels of customer service , quality / prices of the dishes along with the charming surroundings & ambience . On arriving , we have always received a polite , cheerful greeting from the Staff , who swiftly showed us to our table. The decor & layout are pleasant - we feel like we are on holiday when we visit McKee

s. The food is gorgeous , nicely cooked & presented , with speedy service by polite , hard working Staff . Today we took our Friends from Derbyshire for lunch at McKees , our Friends eat at the Taphouse , Smisby , which is excellent , so we were eager to hear what they thought of McKees. They were both delighted at the attentiveness of Staff , & at the lovely food they ate here today . Extra touches at McKee

s make all the difference : We decided upon 3 courses ( £20.20 ) , but ended up receiving some surprise extras ! before our starters arrived , we were served breads , Balsamic vinegar & Olive oil , then mini fruit tureens . After our delicious mains & desserts , we ordered coffees / teas & received some appealing mini shortbreads / cakes which tasted home made , just the right amount . Our Friends were super impressed by this . All the food was absolutely gorgeous & the service was so attentive - the Staff intuitively know to ask when more dishes / drinks are needed. My Mate & I were thrilled that we could have zero alcohol Guinness as we were both driving - a nice drink , much more like proper beer than other zero alcohol beers. Meeting our old Friends at McKees really made our week & was the basis for a great day out . Some weeks ago when we had a delicious Breakfast at McKee

s , we were as impressed as ever , & were able to swap items from the menu according to our preferences. Thank you so much to everyone at McKees , for such a great service - polite , efficient Staff , glorious food , delightful venue ( the garden is lovely , too ! ) , obviously a popular venue , the ambience is wonderful . The prices are so reasonable , considering all of the things mentioned . All of these features are often lacking in many establishments so McKees stands head &...

McKee's Brasserie is a nice looking restaurant with very friendly, attentive staff. They have a large menu with monthly specialities as well as a chef’s special (one note, I couldn’t find any chocolate on the dessert menu).

We received a free appetizer to start the evening off, which was a nice touch, as well as a couple of bread rolls (with olive oil not butter but it could be requested). The starters, a pate dish and a tomato + oregano soup, were very good. The mains, a duck dish and a steak dish, were even better. I have never seen so much duck on one plate and it tasted excellent and the steak appeared to look a little thin but it was cooked exactly as I requested. We particularly liked the cabbage that was part of the vegetable side dish. The only criticism was that a steak knife was not automatically offered with the steak dish (a very minor flaw).

The desserts were not so good. The apple pie crust was a little overdone and the apple filling was brown in places. The crepe that I ordered had too much sauce, completely hiding the taste of the crepe.

Overall, a very good experience which I am looking forward to repeating, in spite of...

This was our first time at haigs, and on entering I did notice large paintings on a yellow wall and every painting was crooked I wanted to go round and adjust them all. The decor needs some work but we were here for the food so that's me just being picky, we ordered two lagers both we're cloudy and I thought here we go another place to avoid. But the staff were happy to replace them, and as for the food I couldn't fault it lovely food great staff we're definitely going back. It's so hard to find a good restaurant on your doorstep and now we have, keep up the...
