I have a soft spot for Browns, its true. I love the building, the atmosphere, the staff uniform, the hustle and bustle - it really is one of my favourite spots. So on Saturday last, after an ill advised visit to Slug & Lettuce on Park Row (don't ask, see next blog...) we found ourselves in Browns at about 4 pm. It was HEAVING. The only spot we could find was tucked away in the furthest corner in the front window area, but with a bottle of House Red at only £14.95, and some very good company, we were happy enough. Because of our concealed seats, staff overlooked us for a couple of hours though, and the bottles and glasses around us on our table and others, started to look a bit untidy. A huge party group arrived later, and ended up clearing the space (and ours!) themselves.
We'd had the foresight to book a table to eat at 8, neither of us wanted to stay where we were seated for a meal, so we were shown to a table on the upper level, by the exit into The Light. We ordered the baked Camembert to share as a starter, which came with a lovely rich chutney and some delicious warm bread. It took all of 5 minutes for us to demolish it, and our burgers were with us very quickly. It was all about the meat - not many chips, a blob of coleslaw, but totally divine. Staff were attentive and friendly, and we left vowing to come back very soon.
