About The Briars

The Briars is a bar and grill set on Brambleside in Kettering, where the kitchen turns out grills alongside fish and chips and a selection of beers. The menu centres on the grill format, with steaks as a focus, and the counter team looks after guests on the floor throughout service. Orders are taken for both food and drinks, and the room works as a straightforward pub-style setting for a meal or a drink. The grill approach carries across lunch and evening service, giving the kitchen room to cover the usual bar and grill range. It sits on a residential stretch of Brambleside, with parking outside for those driving in.

Everything came out quickly, and the portions were a great size. A big thank you to Matt for his fantastic service—he was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. He was great to chat with and really helped make the experience even more enjoyable. The place had a nice, relaxed atmosphere, which made our celebration even more special.
