When booking a private room, Browns Bristol offers a couple of options. For smaller gatherings, the venue's private dining room can accommodate up to 12 guests, offering an exclusive space for milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, family celebrations and corporate lunches. Those planning a larger occasion can opt for the banquet seating area, which hosts between 18 and 32 guests, providing a dedicated area within the main restaurant while retaining the atmosphere of the wider venue.
Group menus showcase Browns' signature British dishes. The occasions menu is ideal for those looking to host a sit-down dinner, with three courses packed full of seasonal plates. Starters include options such as Devon crab on toast with lobster-infused aioli, and baked scallops with chorizo veloute, while main courses feature Cornish sole with clam and pancetta butter, fillet steak served with fries and dressed watercress, or miso-glazed aubergine with sticky jasmine rice. Desserts include favourites such as sticky toffee pudding, Bramley apple and rhubarb crumble, and a rich chocolate torte served with blackcurrant sorbet.
For more informal gatherings, canapes and buffet menus are also available, making it easy to tailor the catering to your event. Expect bite-sized nibbles such as mushroom vol-au-vents, burrata and peach crostini and salmon rillette on rye, with a selection of meat, fish and vegetarian options that form the buffet, with options such as salmon and dill fishcakes, cheeseburger sliders and tomato crostini.
