OUR RESTAURANT

The New Wave Brasserie & Bar is an award-winning small, stylish seafood restaurant in the heart of Lechlade. A recent addition to the Cotswold restaurant scene, we are fast gaining a reputation for our classic seafood dishes, sometimes with a twist, paired with excellent wines and cocktails. We serve only the finest-quality fresh fish and shellfish, mainly from Cornwall, Devon and Scotland, and all our seafood is responsibly sourced.

We offer a variety of different dining spaces, each with its own distinct atmosphere: the main brasserie, a cosy space with tables and bar seating; a shaded courtyard and an open top terrace, with both standard and high tables; and the Captain’s Cabin, a self-contained dining room (seats 12–14) that can be booked for private dining or is sometimes used for regular dining.

Friday Fish Market

For those who want to cook the same top-quality fish at home, we offer a weekly Friday fish & seafood market in the passageway alongside the brasserie. Come along and see us, or visit our online shop, where you can order your seafood and pick it up from the brasserie.

We look forward to welcoming you.
