Patron and head chef, Eliot specialises in simple dishes which accentuate the ingredients without overwhelming them. \u201cWe love to use the rich resources available to us as a North Devon based kitchen,\u201d says Eliot. \u201cWe are genuinely excited about each menu we create, which combines the best that land and sea has to offer\u201d.<\/p>\n
Our selection of meat comes from local North Devon farms \u2013 including Exmoor Park reared beef \u2013 which have been handpicked for quality and high animal welfare standards. Our menus also feature items which make the most of game, with dishes bringing out the richness of venison and fowl. As for the fish, it doesn\u2019t come much fresher than a catch caught by boats which set off from the town\u2019s harbour!\u201d<\/p>\n
Vegetables come with local provenance too, many of them supplied from the Great Field in the village of Braunton, whose fertile ground has been worked since medieval times.\u00a0\u00a0The Brasserie\u2019s menus also include superb vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Furthermore, explains Eliot, \u201cAside from vegetarian and gluten free dishes, The Brasserie kitchen has a \u2018no fuss\u2019 reputation for adapting its dishes to accommodate diners with allergies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everything we cook is from scratch, so we use every element of every product in all of our different dishes, which means we cut down on food waste and reduce packaging. We use ingredients that are more\u00a0sustainable<\/a>\u00a0and offering better value, which means we can offset spiralling costs on our menu and pass that benefit on to our guests. So, you can enjoy great quality dishes at better value.<\/p>\n Like our taramasalata (smoked cod roe pate) \u2013 a soft whipped blend of smoked cod roe, hint of lemon and garlic, served with pickled cucumber, dill and toasted sourdough. We love this classic from the Med. Not only because it reminds chef of his first trip to the Aegean Sea, but also as it illustrates good use of produce. Using the roe ensures the complete fish is being used on our menu. Also, the roe is a better value ingredient which means we can try and offset spiralling costs in our\u00a0menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n This philosophy extends for our hotel guests too. Simple things like our hand made biscuits to welcome guests and home made baked beans on the breakfast menu. It’s not peculiar really; with ingredient costs increasing we are determined to offer value for money – and one way to do this is from cooking from scratch and reducing our wastage.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_font_size=”60px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Fresh whole chickens are butchered by us, and the different cuts are used through the hotel. Take a look at our\u00a0Brasserie dishes<\/a>; where the leg is deboned and served in our Katsu Curry, and the breast is an integral element of our Chicken Supreme with Dijon cream sauce. Even the wings are kept for snacks and buffets. The carcasses and bones along with poultry trimmings create a tasty base stock. We even peel and segment whole fruit as part of our morning breakfast menu<\/a>, salad bowl, which is trimmed down, pressed and used as a candied peel in our\u00a0desserts<\/a>.<\/p>\n When using our whole local free-range eggs, we separate the egg yolk for our famous hollandaise butter sauce for Eggs Benedict in the morning; then overnight we gently bake the whites whisked with sugar to make our pavlova nests.<\/p>\n We welcome everyone to relax and enjoy great food, wonderful hospitality and inflation-beating value in our beautifully refurbished Brasserie & Bar. Pop in and try a new, freshly prepared, seasonal and truly local dish, crafted from scratch, alongside a great value\u00a0beer and wine list<\/a>. We offer\u00a0lunch<\/a>\u00a0five days a week, Wednesday through Saturday; and the very popular classic\u00a0Sunday lunch menu<\/a>\u00a0remains. We also serve\u00a0breakfast<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0dinner<\/a>\u00a0seven days a week, welcoming guests and visitors alike.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Restaurant” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ background_image=”http:\/\/www.ilfracombecarlton.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Smashed-avocado-egg-2.jpeg.jpg” custom_margin=”-1px|||||” custom_padding=”150px|0px|150px|0px|false|false” link_option_url=”http:\/\/www.ilfracombecarlton.co.uk\/blog\/eat\/the-brasserie\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” background_color_gradient_start__hover=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_start__hover_enabled=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end__hover=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_end__hover_enabled=”#29c4a9″ use_background_color_gradient__hover=”off” use_background_color_gradient__hover_enabled=”off” background_color_gradient_type__hover=”linear” background_color_gradient_type__hover_enabled=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction__hover=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction__hover_enabled=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial__hover=”center” background_color_gradient_direction_radial__hover_enabled=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position__hover=”0%” background_color_gradient_start_position__hover_enabled=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position__hover=”100%” background_color_gradient_end_position__hover_enabled=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image__hover=”off” background_color_gradient_overlays_image__hover_enabled=”off” background_color_gradient_stops__hover=”#2b87da 0%|#29c4a9 100%”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”1px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”http:\/\/www.ilfracombecarlton.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PROVENANCE-INFOGRAPHIC-2024.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”A Hotel With Provenance Infographic” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#0f87ff” button_bg_use_color_gradient=”on” button_bg_color_gradient_direction=”194deg” button_bg_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%|rgba(0,0,0,0.33) 100%” button_bg_color_gradient_start=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” button_bg_color_gradient_end=”rgba(0,0,0,0.33)” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”0px” button_font=”Open Sans|600|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_margin=”1px||||false|false” custom_padding=”18px||18px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||100px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”||50px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_font_size=”46px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Is there anything better than starting the day with a hearty breakfast full of flavour? While our natural cereal selection or homemade granola can be paired with plant-based milks or yoghurts, our fresh fruit salad is packed with vibrancy and offers a lighter option to kickstart your morning. Alternatively, our full English breakfast can be adapted to suit you, with meat-free and gluten free alternatives available to ensure you can enjoy every mouthful.<\/p>\n From lighter lunch plates to lovingly-filled sandwiches, there\u2019s lots for our vegan guests to enjoy at lunchtime.

Savour a two-tiered feast packed with both savoury and sweet delights. Start with delicate finger sandwiches filled with a gorgeous array of fillings \u2013 roast peppers and pea pesto, smooth hummus and caramelised onions, or avocado, salad & tomato. Then enjoy a (vegan) cheese, roast cherry tomato & fresh herbs tartlet before sampling a selection of mini desserts and hand-baked cakes \u2013 Eton Mess, Cholate Mousse, and Carrot Cake to name just a few! All are served with freshly brewed filter coffee or Somerset teas and infusions.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re dining with your loved one or enjoying a family meal, our vegan dinner options will provide an easy yet delectable dining experience. Choose from the zesty flavours of Melon & Orange or Beetroot & Pea Salad to start before moving on to our delicious vegan mains. For those who love a little kick, we recommend our Tagine with root vegetable, tomato, apricot & harissa spices, apricot herbed couscous with pomegranate & grilled cauliflower. Alternatively, if classic flavours are more to your taste, our Risotto with fresh mint, garden pea, white wine & vegan cheese risotto is full of fragrance and served with a beautiful side of rocket salad for a subtle hit of freshness.<\/p>\nEfficiency In Cooking<\/h3>\n
