The Brogan Inn

We recently went for a bite to The Brogan Inn mainly because nowhere else was open locally on a Monday night.

After the original refurb a few years back, there was a separate restaurant. It wasnt very good. This time we ate in the main bar which is pretty basic but fine. Two huge screens compete for your attention as they show different programming.

The menu is basic and old school - melon, soups, mussels, steak, chicken etc. We had a lovely pint of Guinness whilst deciding. Neither of us were very hungry so we skipped starters and both went for steaks. Fillet in my case, sirloin in Catherines.

The house red was an inexpensive Italian which went down well. Steaks arrived out quickly with creamy pepper sauce, mushrooms and fries. Simple simple stuff.

And ye know what? It was lovely. Great meat cooked well. I prefer a simple place like that which does what it does well compared to Jacques (to be reviewed soon) which is far more high end but served me burnt tasting potatoes.

69 all-in. Bargain.
