SquareMeal Review of Browns Bath

Brown’s, a university town fixture, has now extended its reach from Brighton in the south to Glasgow in the north – with further openings on the agenda. There’s clearly mileage in its potted palms, bentwood chairs & a ‘something for everyone’ formula. Alas, readers continue to berate poor service & forgettable food that puts ‘quantity over quality’. Find a good branch or a good day though, & that old warm familiarity returns. The brasserie/grill menu gets it right with a retro offering of burgers, fish pies, lobster tagliatelle & chicken Caesar salads, while pork belly with cauliflower cheese ‘bread & butter pudding’ or cured Trealy Farm ham with figs feel right for today’s budget foodie. Inexpensive cocktails & some interesting wines (Brachetto d’Acqui, Château Musar among others) might surprise you.

About

Browns Bath brings the classic brasserie formula to one of the city's most elegant settings. Part of the long-established Browns collection, which first launched in Brighton over 50 years ago, Browns Bath offers all-day dining centred around seasonal ingredients and British favourites. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, a leisurely lunch or a celebratory dinner, it's a dependable choice.

The menu spans everything from brunch and afternoon tea to Sunday roasts and evening dining, with a mix of comforting classics and contemporary dishes. Browns is particularly well known for its afternoon tea offering, while dedicated gluten-free menus accredited by Coeliac UK make dining accessible for a wide range of guests. The stylish dining room and sophisticated bar also make it a popular spot for family gatherings, date nights and special occasions.

Starters range from elegant seafood dishes to indulgent sharing plates. The seafood platter is a particular highlight, loaded with chilli and garlic prawns, scallops, monkfish and calamari for those looking to begin with a flourish. Elsewhere, steak tartare and baked scallops offer more refined options.

For the main event, expect a selection of brasserie staples and seasonal specials. Signature dishes include traditional fish and chips, hearty fish pie and a crisp golden chicken schnitzel served with fries and rocket salad, while lighter options such as a sesame tuna Niçoise salad provide balance. Meat lovers can also opt for dishes such as pan-seared duck breast glazed with honey and soy.

Desserts continue the theme of crowd-pleasing comfort, from rich sticky toffee pudding to chocolate torte served with blackcurrant sorbet. Add a well-curated wine list, expertly mixed cocktails and an elegant atmosphere, and Browns Bath delivers exactly what it promises: reliable, stylish brasserie dining for almost any occasion.

I visit Browns every time I come to Bath. The fillet steak with scallops is fabulous.
