Good: Browns was fantastic years ago, and then went really bad. I have only complained about food twice in a restaurant, and both times were in Browns. The rumour is the restaurant is good again, and I think it is back to the previous standard (nearly). The venue is wonderful. It would be the place to take a visitor because it is very typically English. The service is good and the food is quick to come. The menu will cater for everyone. I would always go for a special.
Bad: The acoustic is bad. I don't think the food is any better than good pub food. Brown's is no longer top, large venue. Jamie's is.
