Really happy that the Thali is back on the menu, replacing the weekend buffet. We both had the meat Thali (they also do a veggie one), but you get to pick your lamb and chicken dishes. Plenty to eat and great quality / service as always.

We went for the limited 'lunch' menu and the food was very good (own made pate, delicious soup, fishcake as good as ever). Our server was perfect. We weren't rushed at all. Everything was great; can't wait to go again.

The Two Brewers in Northaw is a welcoming countryside pub where fresh, seasonal and locally sourced produce takes centre stage. Set near Northaw Great Wood and the historic St Thomas à Becket Church, the pub offers a warm rural escape with cosy fireplaces and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere.

Head Chef Paul Cooke, with experience in Michelin and AA-recognised kitchens, leads a menu grounded in British sustainability.

We had the beef and the pork. The pork was excellent, top notch ingredients and presented well. The beef again was excellent although it was let down by the fact that the whole roast was swimming in gravy. Not sure why this was needed as the beef was of superior quality. Will be back again but with the gravy on the side!

About the restaurant

SHARED PASSION
For owners Mishal and Sundeep, food has always been a way to bring families, friends and communities together, a way to celebrate life and share stories.
Mishal vividly remembers fragrant aromas and laughter filling the air at garden parties as her father cooked in huge pots over a coal stove. It was here that her passion for food began, inspired by her father’s experimental and creative dishes.
For Sundeep, it’s the childhood trips back to India and memories of eating fresh dhal and fluffy rotis at roadside cafes in Punjab that he savours most. The atmosphere, the aromas and the flavours all evoke a delightful sense of coming home.
And it is his innate understanding of the link between food and celebration that helped Sundeep build a successful banqueting business in the heart of North West London.
It’s this passion, this emotional connection and joy for eating that the couple now bring to Bhageecha.
Friday and Saturday after 7pm, kids under the age of 10 aren't allowed
