Occupying a beautifully restored former banking hall in the heart of Leeds, Browns provides an elegant setting for everything from birthday parties and anniversary celebrations to corporate events, drinks receptions and summer gatherings. With a choice of stylish event spaces, flexible food packages and tailored drinks options, it’s well equipped to host occasions both large and small.
Guests can choose between three distinctive spaces depending on the style of their event. The largest Private Dining Room seats up to 20 guests beneath high ceilings, surrounded by period features, timber flooring and traditional wood panelling. The Manager’s Office offers a more intimate setting for up to 12 guests, where large windows flood the historic room with natural light and an oval dining table encourages conversation. For groups of up to 14, The Heavens provides a semi-private mezzanine space overlooking the restaurant, with a striking marble dining table, mustard-yellow leather seating and deep blue walls creating a contemporary contrast to the building’s historic character.
Food can be tailored to suit every occasion, whether you’re planning a relaxed drinks reception with canapes, a buffet-style gathering or a formal seated meal. Menus feature dishes such as crispy calamari, baked scallops and prawn cocktail to start, followed by favourites including traditional fish and chips, prawn and chorizo linguine, chicken schnitzel, pan-roasted cod and premium steaks from the butcher. Buffets offer a more informal alternative with options including garlic and lemon king prawns, burrata with peach and rosemary crostini, buttered potatoes and seasoned fries, while desserts such as Belgian chocolate mousse, brownies and apple and rhubarb crumble provide a fitting finale. Brunch events, afternoon teas and traditional Sunday roast gatherings are also available.
A range of drinks packages can be arranged to complement your event, including Champagne for toasts, wines, beers, ciders, cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks and specialty coffees, allowing each celebration to be tailored to suit the occasion.
