Throughout the spring and summer season Bar Brasserie also have a large terrace area where you can enjoy eating al fresco or simply sit, sipping your favourite glass of wine perhaps, enjoying the ambience, surrounded by the glorious Buxton crescent, watching the world go by. It’s certainly one of our favourite hobbies!
