We went to this restaurant for a light lunch, so I can't say too much about the food still it was very good in it's simplicity. I had planned to go there for dinner a few days later as I was on my own and they would have live music in the main part of the restaurant but unfortunately the... more

I remember going to Browns in Cambridge years ago and it had a real buzz and the food was great even if you paid a little more, I also remember going to Browns in Edinburgh when it was new and going back because it was good, the mangers and waiters had smart uniform and you felt good! This year I... more

I used to be quite a fan of Browns but in 2 out of my last 4 visits the service has been poor and on one occasion the food was terrible. At my last visit the place was very quiet and the service was slow beyond measure. After two and a half hours we had only had two courses of... more

After ordering we waited for nearly an hour for our food to arrive. When the food finally came it was cold, cooked veg was almost raw, salad was slimy and chips were awful. We complained and the maitre d' took several dishes off our bill but we still left feeling hard done by! There are plenty of far better restaurants... more

I have been to Browns a couple of times now, the last visit being two weeks ago for a Birthday celebration. They do not take reservations, but we only had a wait of less than 5 minutes prior to being seated on a Saturday night, which was pretty good. There is a real buzz in the restaurant at the weekend... more

A group of six of us ate here one Thursday night. We had prebooked and got a great table. There was a special offer menu on when we were there - 3 courses for a tenner - excellent value, and the food was great. I had sausages and mash which was lovely, as were the profiteroles. Decent wine list. Great... more

Had never been to Browns before but very impressed. Huge inside with lots of tables & great decor - kind of 1930's meets New England. Went for a Sunday lunch & had a roast dinner - pork with all the trimmings. Food lovely & tasty & good sized portions. Our only complaint was that food could have been warmer. Great... more

6 of us had dinner recently in Browns, we were seated at a table that was just about big enough for us, it was fine but there was more comfortable tables there but taken unfortunately. The food was very nice, in particular the seafood platter and beef burger, service was also good. The restaurant itself is lovely, really nice decor... more
