Browns Brasserie & Bar in Bath and North East Somerset

Nice building and friendly staff. Hectic atmosphere, with very little quiet or intimate seating. We went here for our 10 year anniversary and were very disappointed. The table we had was in a noisy corner despite requesting a quiet table on our booking. Shortly after our food arrived, a group in flashing Christmas jumpers and hats sat next to us. This was incredibly distracting and over-stimulating.overall the experience was very disappointing and for the prices they charge, not acceptable. If you have a special occasion planned, go elsewhere

Be aware that when booking a table using The Fork app, the restaurant has no dealing with them. Reserved a table on the Monday for the coming Saturday, to then receive a cancellation email on the Thursday afternoon. Luckily we were down in the evening so went face to face to see if they could accommodate our party of 4 (with Christmas around the corner we couldn’t get a table anywhere at such short notice!). Luckily they managed to book us in, at a slightly different time. However when arriving at the new time, we were told we were 30 minutes early. We just waited at the bar for our table. Food was nice, a little pricey but you do get quality food, so you don’t mind paying a little bit more. Staff was pleasant. Could do with hooks under the table by the bar to hang your coat. Need to pay more attention to the ladies toilets, no paper available!!!

Freezing cold people dinning with coats on ,food mediocre was serve plum and apple crumble and custard ,plums under cooked custard Luke warm and very lumpy .Chef needs to up his game. Very pricey for small portions. Staff however were brilliant. Doubt if I would use again

Visited Browns after a busy day in Bath, with friends. It was comfortable and relaxing, lovely food and very good service.

Frosted berry martini was delicious!

We had a very disappointing evening. The food was a real let down (turkey main with dry and luke warm meat, soggy roast potatoes , and a disgusting slice of stuffing that looked like it was out of a tin). Others in our party had the beef which was better but overall: slow service throughout, cold beans with the Cod and very poor value for money overall . I’ve had similar quality in low end pub chains

Very mediocre, went on a Saturday night. Service was fine, expensive for what it is. Main course included a fried egg which was totally overcooked. Restaurant was cold. Wouldn't rush back.

Fantastic Bottomless brunch at Browns I would highly recommend Browns. They fitted a group of 7 of us in at extremely short notice, finding us a lovely table upstairs. The set brunch menu had plenty of choice and a selection of bottomless drinks that you can upgrade to Moët if you’re feeling fancy. The Food was good and arrived quickly. All the staff were super but I’d like to give a special mention to our waitress Ava. She was brilliant, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. She is a great ambassador for the restaurant.

Good food, had the blade of beef, gravy a little too salty, otherwise very nice. Atmosphere good, although was not very busy but was early evening. Service by Yee Lin was excellent, very friendly and efficient.

Great food and service, nice setting and good drinks selection. Enjoyed the chicken and leek pie, the crumble was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Dan and Tom made me perfect French martinis and was very friendly and fun.

Really lovely place to meet friends and eat. Extremely tasty food and lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to go back again! 😃

Went for Sunday roast, pleasantly surprised to be accompanied by live piano music! Food was excellent and generous portion. Our waitress May Ling was great.

Fish pie good. Shepherds pie good. Linguine average. Service perfunctory. Great building.

Had a wonderful evening. Can highly recommend the the lobster. Yee-lin is a wonderful waitress and extremely helpful. The wine selection is brilliant 👏.

Tom H was great, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was excellent, whole evening was very enjoyable. Sadly too full to try the desserts.

Yee-Lin absolutely made our experience tonight! Restaurant was really cold and empty and our drinks were made wrong but the humour and care with attention to detail Yee-Lin provided made the experience for us on our first visit to bath. Food was also fantastic 10oz ribeye and the fish and chips were piping hot and served quickly :) Thank you Yee- Lin and the kitchen team!

We were very impressed by the staff and the generous portions. Rare in this day & age. Highly recommend a visit. Probably best to book on busier days. Maybe wear a warm top too as the expansive Regency building was a little chilly. Overall good value for money.

We had an asparagus and mushrooms starter followed by the Sunday Roast. After a week of pretty good food in London, our first meal here in Bath won top meal.

It was my first visit and I am totally impressed by the food and service. Our waitress Alexandra gave us great service and she made by day Thank you for lovely service. We will be back soon .

Had the steak and lobster for main, the lobster was way over cooked. Heating wasn't on too, when it was a pretty cold night. Steak and starters were good though. For £150+ expected better.

"Today, I had the pleasure of exploring the historic city of Bath, UK! From the stunning Georgian architecture to the ancient Roman Baths, every corner of this city has a story to tell. Walked along the charming streets, took in the iconic views of Bath Abbey, and even had time to relax by the River Avon. Truly a city where history meets beauty! #BathUK #TravelDiaries #HistoryMeetsBeauty #Wanderlust"

Charged service for 2 drinks. There wasn't any toilet paper in gents or ladies and the ladies toilets didn't flush properly. Paid £18 for a glass of prosecco and a pint.

Alec recommended some amazing drinks which really got the party started. He understood the occasion and was extremely accommodating. The passion Alec has for the quality of drinks is first class. Charming all the way

Beautiful atmosphere and lovely staff, and an amazing meal!! Oli was fantastic!!

We were there on a Friday night and Yee-Lin was our server. We have been coming here for years. We always look forward to seeing Yee-Lin because she has a smile on her face and a happy disposition. She is attentive and funny. We loved the fish & chips with chunky fries. The booth seating is comfortable with pillows and the lights were dimmed for evening dining. We would reccomend Brown's. The food is good and service is exceptional.

Had afternoon tea at Browns today; impressed with relaxed but attentive service. Food was very enjoyable - more than enough too. Great table service from Yee Lin. Recommended.

A cheap, chewy, overcooked, tasteless piece of chicken, accompanied by soggy chips and a stingy portion of frozen peas. They also forgot to include my dessert. Utterly appalled at their prices but delighted to say I will never repeat this experience!

Came here for the first time for a hen do brunch. Staff are amazing and super friendly!!! Food was delicious, will definitely be coming here again 😀

The service was exceptional, the head bartender (Earl) was so knowledgable and friendly. Would 100% be back. Will recommend.

Earl was great, his service was excellent!

Earl was great, I had an amazing experience thanks to him 👍

This is one fantastic place . Food was amazing staff are brilliant

Visiting from Bulgaria with my family today. Very rude male possibly a waiter, staff said to my 18 year old daughter (who is visiting first time in UK), “we are not taking walk-ins” and walked off… (which is fair enough not to be taking walk-in’s if busy), but the manner we were treated/spoken to was totally different to any of the many extremely polite experiences I have had at Browns before. Rude, rude, rude! Please be nice, it costs nothing!

Lovely R ception and happy to welcome my 13 week old gran daughter. Great service and a delicious Rioja

Thanks Tom was amazinggggg thanks!

Tom was amazing! Had a great time with amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Big ups Tom for a fun evening

Browns in Bristol Bath is truly a culinary gem that deserves every one of its five stars! From the moment you walk through the door, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication. The charming decor sets the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience. The head chef, Sebastian, is nothing short of a culinary wizard; his passion for food is evident in every dish that graces the table. The presentation is a work of art—each plate meticulously crafted to not only satisfy the palate but also captivate the eyes. The attention to detail extends beyond the food; the cutlery is polished to perfection, enhancing the upscale dining experience. Each meal is complemented by an exquisite selection of wines that have been thoughtfully curated to pair beautifully with the menu. The attentive customer service truly elevates the experience, with staff who are knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to ensure your visit is nothing short of spectacular. What’s more, with such an exceptional dining experience, the prices are surprisingly reasonable, making Browns a must-visit for both locals and visitors alike. This is not just a place to eat; it’s a celebration of culinary artistry. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone treat themselves to a meal at Browns. You won't be disappointed!

From the moment we sat down the staff treated us extremely well. We related the story of us and they served us a free drink (we were celebrating our 50th anniversary). The atmosphere was romantic and my partner and I felt like we were the only patrons. The food was fantastic, hot and tasted great. Again the servers did not rush us and let us enjoy a fantastic evening out. Thank you so much!

We are on holiday in the UK and went to this restaurant in Bath for lunch. My wife ordered Pan Seared Sea Bass and I ordered a lamb Shepard’s Pie. Both dishes were excellently prepared. The flavors and texture were perfect. My wife commented this was the best meal she has had in the UK. The atmosphere was great for a relaxed lunch. The prices are reasonable as well. We would recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Bath.

Was a lovely experience with some nice afternooN tea. Maybe a few more savouries would have been better, but Ava was amazing and really made my wife’s 50th great. 👍

Had lovely brunch, can certainly recommend. Tom H, our server was really friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. He's a real asset to the Brown's team. Looking forward to our next visit

Nice surroundings and a great waitress but let down by the quality of the food. Out of three fillet steaks ordered two were overcooked. I ordered a rib eye steak which looked suspiciously like rump steak and was tough as old boots. Won’t be going back.

Lovely food. Not too busy on a Monday.

Really surprised by reviews vs foods we tried. Don’t try fish and chips. The fish tastes really bad. Sea bass was good. Chicken skewers were boiled chickens, tasteless. Vegetables were not fresh… how other rated 5star?! We had 3 different dishes and nothing tasted good. Even the schnitzel tasted boiled chicken and it was watery. It took 40 minutes to get the food and we ate almost all but feel uncomfortable. What a beautiful location and atmosphere but not tasty and fresh food. Not trusting reviews here anymore.

Lovely place, food was great and so were drinks. Maddie helped us out and she was lovely, very friendly and super helpful. Highly recommend!

Amazing server Tom. Very helpful and efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks in the sunshine. Thank you very much. We will definitely return.

Fabulous place. Tom’s providing great service with a smile

Beautiful Day, with a gorgeous view and refreshing drinks served by the lovely Tom.

Lovely sunny day in bath served by Tom

Tom was fab ! Nice outside area for the sunshine, lovely view of the abbey! & food was lovely

Great location and service. Thank you to Tom who made it unforgettable.

A gorgeous afternoon in the sun with lovely surroundings, fabulous cocktails and great service!

Great service from Tom and lovely food thank you x

I came to Brown's Bath and I was certainly not disappointed. My niece hired the room upstairs from the moment we all arrived the service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for Phil, my niece wanted all of us to sit on the same table as opposed to two tables which originally was laid up for a party of 18 people. It was more than adequate but not for my niece she changed the seating 3 times until we were all on the same table poor Phil obliged her with a cheerful smile and did what she wanted. With the help of Ava & Fran collected knives, forks, spoons and napkins all with a lovely smile. We all ended up laughing over this. Phil, Ava & Fran gave such excellent service. The food arrived exactly the way we all preordered. The atmosphere was superb and how beautiful the place was. It all contributed for us having such a lovely Sunday lunch in a beautiful Place and lovely location of Bath right opposite the Abbey. Fully recommend Browns in Bath. They was a big problem if you are disabled and booked upstairs no lift and my 89 year old sister had to walk up two flights of stairs despite suffering from Arthritis thought that a lift would have been soo much easier.

We had a fantastic night! Ava was brilliant she was very attentive made sure everything was perfect and even surprised us with a special message plate when she discovered we were celebrating our anniversary! The food was excellent great choice (we are vegetarian) and both enjoyed different dishes to complement our taste preferences! Overall it was fantastic thank you Browns and thank you Ava!

Had a lovely evening celebrating with my daughter, staff very accommodating and catered for my disability. Food was fantastic some seemed over priced however once tasted you could justify the cost. Great decor spacious seating so u don't feel crammed in. Staff very polite and would recommend if you want good quality food.

Ah, if only the spectacular view could fill one’s stomach… after seeing some good reviews we decided to try this place out, however these reviews show nothing more than proof that there are no shortages of people wanting to eat bad food in historic buildings. On arrival the maitre d’ made us wait to be seated, apparently for no other reason than because he could. My advice - take a look at the staff on the way in because that’s the last you’ll see of them. About 10 minutes into our meal I realised that the owner, the chef and I have lost interest, the primary attraction was the wildlife wandering across the table, overal the food was wonderfully underwhelming , I took the remainder of my steak home and even my dog refused it. Will not be retuning

Lovely spacious bright restaurant. Delicious food and very friendly and helpful waitress.Yee Lin made our time here even better there was a problem with a cold fruit crumble which was dealt with immediately.bwould definitely come again

It’s without hesitation that I recommend Browns in Bath, wonderful atmosphere and great food, lobster was sublime!

Roast was amazing on sunday best ive had in a while highly recommend

Visited for a Sunday food was amazing would highly recommend come here for some lunch best food around

We visited Browns on Sunday 1st September, the best Sunday Roast I've had in ages!

Good food, great service and a nice place to eat.

Walked in for lunch with visiting family. It is a gorgeous building, and all the staff were welcoming, polite, and attentive. I couldn't fault them. Our particular waitress was fantastic. We ordered two fish and chips and the two course set lunch deal for two of us. Sadly, the food did not live up to the setting or service. it was such a shame. I was very disappointed with my fish and chips. The batter was soggy underneath, and the haddock fillet inside was thin, grey, and tasteless and still had the fish skin on. Even a fish and chip take away removes the fish skin. I found my peas and tartar sauce inedible. The pureed peas were in a tiny pot and overpowered by mint, and the tartar sauce, which I usually love with white fish, was packed with whole capers, which I don't love. The chips were just uninspiring frozen chips. My husband's chicken and leek pie and mash came without any vegetables, which was a shame. Just a few peas would have made the difference and added some colour to a brown plate of food. The pie was just a puff pastry top, not a pie, and the sauce inside was thin and lacking much flavour. The saving grace. Two of the rhubarb and apple crumbles with stem ginger ice cream were enjoyed by the party. If I had not been with my in-laws who were treating us to lunch as a thank you, I would have complained.

The most disgusting place I have ever been. We booked as a nice mini moon dinner, my husband’s chicken was raw I told a staff member it came back out microwaved and still raw! My salad my chicken was pre cocked slices from a supermarket I refused to pay it was vile!

Good food, the service is excellent and the place is very nice.

Very good food, lovely atmosphere and setting, good service. Staff went over and above to help search for mislaid phone. Very thoughtful staff.

The Sunday lunch is amazing - both veggie and pork belly. Great quality and value. Staff so friendly

Yee lin was lovely and very quick service

We went there on a tour to eat, they only had three lunch options and three dessert options, so I didn’t eat because they ran out 😡

Yee Lin made our evening at Browns Bath so special. She was very attentive and went out of her way to make my friend’s birthday meal so amazing!

Yee Lin was incredible and made our evening and my friends birthday so special!!

Nice Ambience … Cosy but not cramped … Nice place with good decor Specially did a Chicken mixta salad off menu for me as requested . Good helpful staff … Fancied the Sunday lunch but unfortunately arrived too late , looked good though even though we missed it .. Next time

Went for bottomless brunch and Ava (our waitress) was an absolute gem! Couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Food and drinks wonderful, we had an amazing time. Thanks Ava!

Always have a lovely meal at Brown's Bath. Yee Lin who served us was very friendly as usual and made us feel really welcome. Looking forward to coming again.

This restaurant is an absolute gem in Bath. The food was outstanding—every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. We ordered the cod, seabass, and schnitzel, and each was so delicious that we found ourselves constantly sampling from each other’s plates. The service was impeccable from start to finish, with the staff attentive and genuinely warm. We have asked our waiter to rush the food as we were late for a tour and it came out promptly. The ambiance is equally impressive; it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. We visited for lunch, but I’m already looking forward to coming back for dinner to experience the restaurant in a different light. The bar area, with its double-height ceilings, adds to the charm, and the presence of a piano hints at the possibility of live music in the evening, which would elevate the experience even further. This place is definitely worth a visit, whether you're a local or just passing through Bath.

Came here for my best friends 30th lunch, and it was lovely! Special shout out to Tom for his excellent service! We will be back :)

What an absolute pleasure to dine in Brown's today, food was sublime and staff were incredibly attentive.

We were well looked after Yee Lin, who was lovely and friendly. The Shepherd’s Pie and Brown’s cheese burger were very tasty. We had a pudding too. We had a concert to get to and we were in and out in the hour. Great service.

This is the second time we have been. The first time we were served by Alex and the second, Mel. Both were exemplary in their attentiveness and friendliness; and fthe ood was excellent at a fair price. The chef is to be complomented! Overal hghly recommended. Steve and Sue.

Good food and friendly staff although the service may be slow

Great outdoor seating for a Summer dinner. Super staff and great food.

Ava was a brilliant, attentive waitress, so friendly and helpful, she made our bottomless brunch a joy! Good food. Highly recommend!

An excellent meal and service experience by the chefs and staff at Browns, our waitress Alexandra was very helpful and efficient she was friendly and her and manager were great at letting us eat without interrupting us.

Visited Browns for a works hen do meal! Tom was brilliant, attentive and gave good recommendations and looked after us!! Really enjoyable evening thank you! 🥂

Last minute decision to go here, knowing the brand from Cambridge. The food was great and our server Menino was incredible, spotting our kids were starving and getting their food out asap. He remained attentive and polite throughout. There was another young gentleman there, whose name I never got, who was also fantastic.

Fantastic location and food. Service was impeccable and Mel was a patient and attentive server.

They take good care of you here, fantastic service as always 😀

My partner and myself had afternoon tea and it was a really nice experience. The host was welcoming of us when we arrived and the meal itself was great. Some minor parts that could have made the experience could have improved the experience were that my partner asked for 2 broiche rolls without the smoked salmon but then none arrived and the water mixed up the teas we requested. It was still a lovely experience but the service during afternoon tea can bring it to the next level.

Visiting Bath for a short break and booked dinner here. Lovely building, nice atmosphere. We were seated in a booth, would have liked the main seating area with a view but didn't spoil our evening.My main course of chicken tahini and harissa was delicious, one of the nicest I've ever had, scoffed the lot. Wish I had the nerve to ask for the receipe. If I'm ever visiting again will definitely pop in.

Food and drinks were lovely ! Service was very friendly and attentive, thank you Mel :))

Lovely food! Brilliant, friendly and professional service from Mel, she made our evening. Thank you

Had a lovely meal here with friends! Food was delicious and service was even better. Thank you Mel for being so lovely and helpful ! Will be back soon

Great food great atmosphere great service from Mel! Thoroughly enjoyed thank you!!! Will definitely make another appearance!

We celebrated a birthday on Saturday lunchtime . Good choice on the menu for food and drinks arrived promptly . I had the pan fried sea bass - very nice . Tom our waiter was very attentive and joined in with a bit of friendly banter - a nice touch at the end with a free glass of champagne and dessert for the birthday girl. It was busy and we did order more drinks but we didn’t feel rushed so many thanks for a lovely lunch

What a lovely experience. We visited on Friday night for just drinks and it was so lovely that we decided to come back on Saturday for Bottomless Brunch. The service by Sam, Alec, Yee Lin and Kate was fantastic (apologies I didn't catch the other staff members names but were all AMAZING!) The brunch was really tasty. The best scrambled eggs I've had in a long time. I would highly recommend!

We had a fabulous meal the chateau briand was to die for as were the salted caramel profiteroles. Our lovely server Yee Lin was an absolute star. Thank you for making my husbands birthday special. Xxx

Thursday night on a sunny evening in Bath, Browns is always good for food & drink quality! Tom was a lovely friendly smiley waiter, very accommodating, attentive and helpful!

We had an afternoon tea, and unfortunately, this was the worst I have ever had. The Scones could have knocked someone out they were so hard. The sandwiches had no flavour and were underwhelming. Some of the cakes takes store bought, the Victoria Sponge was so sweet my teeth hurt. It was a real shame
