The Brasserie

We first opened a bistro on this site in 1999 called Pastiche Bistro but after selling it in 2005 we bought it back in November 2008 and opened in December of that year as 1709 the brasserie.

Our menu is simple and stylish with the emphasis of locally sourced and home made fantastic produce. Our Executive Chef Mark Medley is assisted by James Mcarthy, Sam Lucas and Harriet Lowe.

The restaurant mixes the old traditional timber with modern twists, such as steel chandeliers. Our manager, Mel Heath, assisted by Jamie Hedgecox, head the front of house with an excellent team of part time waiters and waitresses.
