What’s on the menu? Known for its stunning surroundings within historic, landmark buildings, Browns is the perfect place to enjoy a few signature cocktails and light bites this party season. Vegan options include a shallot and heirloom tomato tart, a roast mushroom, madeira and tarragon glazed tart (make sure you ask for it to be veganised as the vegetarian version is served with goat’s cheese), and a roast butternut and apple harvest salad. You can also enjoy a tomato and thyme soup from the lunch and early evening menu (specify no butter on your roll) and a beetroot cottage pie. Whilst there’s not a hugely exciting selection, you won’t go hungry if visiting with friends.
