What an amazing experience! Absolutely LOVED the food here! All the little above and beyond elements were so wonderfully special. We were even treated to a walk about the kitchen garden and the kitchen itself after our exquisite dinner. The food here is to die for and has been so lovingly put together. We had the outstanding tasting menu and was surprised to find it very substantial indeed. Rohit (Head Waiter) was an absolute star. He looked after us so well, explained all the wines in the accompanying wine flight and chatted with us throughout the evening as if we were old friends - he made the evening better than we imagined possible. Yes, it is expensive - but we thought it was worth it. Don't just think about booking - do it! You will not be disappointed!

On a cold winters day it’s truly wonderful to walk in to a cosy country pub for the most delicious lunchtime meal. Friendly staff, quietly busy with other guests enjoying life. The choice of food on the menu was not only extensive with something for everyone but value for money which made our experience even more enjoyable.

Marlow

About the restaurant

BRVTVS is a contemporary space where you can come for breakfast, a drink, a meal, or to enjoy the more energetic and friendly atmosphere later in the evening weekends where the vibe changes very quickly with the DJs spinning their perfect vinyl playlist to set the mood.

Music is at the heart of BRVTVS and it's the ideal place to share it through a soul, rare groove, modern funk and disco vinyl selection.

BRVTVS takes quality food, drinks & music seriously, giving the idea of welcoming customers in a warm environment with attention to every detail. The idea is to recreate, in a modern variety, the dishes of Italian traditional cuisine, that until a few decades ago were everyday’s food and drink in Italy. A great way to experience the Italian style of eating with simple and genuine recipes.
