Furzedown Brasserie in Carshalton

Ah, Furzedown Brasserie – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? I've got to say, what really stands out is how the team goes out of their way to make everyone feel welcome; they're chatty and attentive without being over the top, which makes for a really enjoyable time whether you're nipping in for a quick coffee or settling in for the evening. The food's another winner – think creative tapas that's presented beautifully, massive portions of Sunday roasts that leave you stuffed for your money, and even things like truffle fries or burgers that hit the spot just right. It's got that community spirit nailed, perfect for a casual workday meet-up or a birthday bash with the family. On the flip side, though, the overall buzz isn't as glowing as it could be, with some folks mentioning hiccups that might stem from the hotel bit, so it pays to check what's what before you go. And watch out for those kitchen hours; they shut up shop for a bit in the afternoon, which could throw a spanner in the works if you're after a late lunch. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out – I'd pop in for the vibes and the grub, but keep expectations balanced for a well-rounded experience.
