Went here in the other day. We weren't able to book a table in advance because I think there were a lot of Christmas parties going on. It was a Saturday and about 6:50pm. We were asked to wait as it could be 45 mins - 1 hour. Which was fine as we anticipated this. We had literally sat down... more

Browns is a fantastic group of restaurants, but the one in Oxford is my fav! Such a great location in town, fantastic vibe. The food has consistantly been impressive and the service is always smooth and professional. Great place for boozy lunches with lots of wine with friends or romantic evenings. Love it. more

Having tried several Oxford restaurants for an early dinner before the theatre we have now settled on Browns for our regular visits.

We went to this restaurant as part of a romantic get away. However I did not like the food much and there was no ambience. There are better places around. more

Been a fan of Brown's for 25 years or more. Always been a favourite, hadn't been for a while & decided to give it a try over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. Went on the Saturday evening, didn't book-well you still can't after 7.00 pm & there was the inevitable 45 minute wait. The wait is still worthwhile even... more

Had a lovely time at Browns at lunchtime on Saturday. We all ended up with duck - which was really nice. It slid down a treat! The puddings were also completely devoured and tasted good. The service was good and were thankful for booking a table as it gets very busy on a Saturday lunchtime. more
