The Brownswood — Restaurant in London

Our stay at the Brownsville was beyond exceptional! Dita and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make sure to accommodate us with every need without any pressure and with constant kindness. Due to family emergencies we had to make changes to our itinerary while we were traveling in the UK & EU and somehow Dita managed to find accommodations for us working within our schedule, as well as checking at the other property/pub/hotel they own across Clissold park. Everyone from the bartenders & managers at the pub, the cleaning staff, the managers Dita and Ella were ALWAYS completely available to any request with a smile on their face. We checked in a number of three times so we had the chance to experience 2 different rooms at The Brownwood. The smaller rooms were clean, recently built and renovated and perfect with adequate pricing. The larger rooms were also modern and recently renovated and incredibly tasteful, like having a private loft, something like we’ve never experienced before at a “bed-and-breakfast“ type of establishment in a metropolis like London. Despite the pub being just downstairs on the first and second floor and the rooms being on the third floor, you couldn’t hear a pin drop when you were in the room and we were able to sleep comfortably without hearing any noise whatsoever. The location of the pub/hotel is simply fantastic with many buses just across the street to get you anywhere in London within 15-30 minutes as well as a 7 minute walk away from the London Underground. Additionally Clissold Park is a gem and is literally across the street from the location of The Brownswood. The neighborhood was great with plenty of stores and tra whether you’re looking for a chemist or a 24 hour deli or a variety of excellent cuisines. A short walk away from the lovely neighborhood of Highbury and Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and lovely Stoke Newington which is literally just across the park. The Brownswood’s backyard/beer garden was also exceptional, relaxing with a pleasant laid back crowd and excellent to take a break during the day for a drink or to have a night cap later in the evening, and their menus for all breakfast lunch and dinner were all fantastic as well, suitable to variety of pallets with many dishes to choose from and deliciously prepared. We will absolutely return to The Brownswood the next time we are in London without any doubt! Thanks again to everyone in the staff and in particular to Dita and Ella for making us feel at home during our...

🚇 Manor House 🍺 £5.30 Amstel ❤️ The quintessential Victorian pub. . This Victorian pub stands between Stoke Newington, Finsbury Park and Manor House and just a couple of hundred yards away from Clissold Park. The nearest tube is Manor House which is a ten minute walk. . The Brownswood Park Tavern opened its doors in 1866 under the management of The Wenlock Brewery. Like many pubs in recent times the pub has now dropped the Tavern from its moniker. . This is a simply decorated and elegant pub with beautiful Victorian features throughout. The large arched windows bathe the bar in light, in the corner of the bar is a splendid sweeping staircase that leads to an additional bar upstairs. Other standout features are the etched mirrors, fireplaces and the stunning servery. At the rear of the pub is a beer garden with plenty of benches. This pub also offers accommodation, there are six boutique bedrooms from £140 a night. . There is a good range of beers to choose from including cask ales and craft options. As I was on a crawl of the area I went for a session beer and chose an Amstel. My pint was very enjoyable and not expensive at just over a fiver. The food menu consists of pub classics, burgers and small plates plus roasts on a Sunday, Fish & Chips costs £15. . I arrived just after midday and the pub was relaxed and calm. There were half a dozen punters in enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. I was served by a lovely member of staff who was polite and efficient. The soundtrack was chilled indie classics which set the mood perfectly. . The @thebrownswood is an exceptionally good boozer and a real charmer. The beer choice was broad and price point was good. The food menu looked good and also not overly expensive. This pub has a simple Victorian beauty about it which makes this pub a great place to spend time in. Definitely one to put in the diary. . ℹ️ Info correct on...

Lovely atmosphere but the food needs to catch up with the higher quality in the rest of the neighbourhood. It's usually hit and miss but mostly miss. There are vegetarian options but they are not amazing, and the same meal is not consistent on every order. I've been a customer there for more than 6 years because it's our get together place after climbing and it's frustrating to see the food is not getting better, just worse. Meat eaters usually order one thing - the cheeseburgers, and the vegetarians get the beyond meat burger. The other mains aren't amazing. Thea bean burger it's a very sad burger, usually falling apart when you eat it, it's like an iceland frozen bean burger, it takes me back to 10 years ago to the first veggie burgers that appeared on the market. The aubergine lasagna is tasty but overwhelming and after the first time you order you get haunted by the massive size of cheese and oil that you ate. The side salad used to be really nice until recently, with mixed leaves and balsamic dressing but last night I had a burger with salad instead of fries and got lots of tasteless iceberg lettuce instead of the salad mix leaves and a very bland, off the shelf, ready mix type of dressing. And I am not the only one that thinks all of this. Sometimes you get plenty of fries with your burger, other times a tiny portion. Same thing happened when I had the greek salad which is a nice addition. First time I ordered it, it looked like a main, the second time I had it, it looked more like a slightly generous side dish with not much feta. Management - please pay more attention to the food you...
