Brinkleys - (Near , london)

Jose Jara-López I’d been wanting to try The Smoaking Goat for a long time, and we finally took the opportunity when some friends came to visit. It was absolutely worth the wait! First, I have to mention the great service. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and friendly. We couldn’t decide between 2 white wines, and she kindly brought us a glass of each to taste before choosing, such a thoughtful gesture! We ended up going with the 2023 Portuguese white, Intervalo Branco. We decided to share several dishes between the five of us, and ordered: Fried Chicken, Tom Yum and Pork, Massaman Bavette, Pad Phet Trout and Courgette, Squid and Salted Duck Egg with Courgette, Cabbage and Mushroom Soy Sauce, Daikon Som Tam, three House Rotis, Jasmine Rice, and BBQ Turmeric Gurnard. The only dish I wouldn’t particularly recommend was the Cabbage and Mushroom Soy Sauce. Everything else was fantastic! My top recommendations would be the BBQ Turmeric Gurnard, the Squid and Salted Duck Egg with Courgette, and especially the Massaman Bavette, which was the standout dish. The service was great, the food was amazing, and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. The open kitchen is a nice touch too - you can watch the chefs at work while you eat (if that’s your thing) Highly recommended!

Brian Delaney We were spooned, its one of the best places to go. The drinks are very reasonable. Thinking that we should absolutely reasonable truth. The foods fine, you get what you pay for. A

Jubaer Khandakar Alhamdulillah, a proper South Indian Vegeterian feast I had with my boys. I really enjoyed the food and the service provided here. A shoutout to Hashni, she was really attentive and helpful. I would highly reccomend the place. Inshallah will come back.

Michael Leung Came here on a late Monday night for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the sheer quality of the dishes and the hospitality. The cod was done just right, very tender and smooth fillet while the Thai green curry garnish wasn’t too strong. The loin of lamb was on the pink side, which again was perfect served with the sauce and mash. The meat was very tender especially being the loin. The night topped off by their amazing home-made salted caramel ice cream served with their bread and butter pudding, which was very smooth and not icy. All in all, 5 out of 5 for this little family run restaurant nestled within the town of Cowes. Outstanding!

Susan Relf Absolutely brilliant,all the staff very friendly. The food was delicious we had the number 2. Breakfast cooked to perfection not greasy at all. We will back there to try the roast dinner. Watch this space.
