1837 Restaurant & Donovan Bar Overview
The Restaurant offers a delicate balance of English fare and continental cuisine with a modern influence. Only the finest British produce is used with an emphasis on the seasons.
While the restaurant retains its clubby feel, there is a much brighter, more elegant ambience, thanks to lightened wood panelling, 1930s design features and banquette booths that provide both privacy and more space for diners.
A full a la carte menu is offered, along with a three-course lunch menu available Monday through to Saturday with changes made weekly. In addition there is a choice of "old favourites" daily main courses, supplemented by a choice of specials served from the carving trolley. Gentlemen are requested to wear a jacket when dining in The Grill.
Opening hours:
Monday to Sunday: Lunch 12.30pm to 2.30pm & Dinner 7.00pm to 10.30pm
Afternoon tea is synonymous with Brown's. Ever since James Brown established his hotel for 'genteel' folk over 160 years ago, afternoon tea in the hotel's English Tea Room has been a British institution.
Once again the English Tea Room serves the best afternoon tea in London and preserves its famous discreet and elegant setting, with a choice of teas including Brown's own blend, finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones, Brown's infamous home-made jams and clotted cream, and a selection of cakes and delicate pastries, all combined to make a wonderful and exquisite afternoon tea experience.
English Tea Room opening hours:
Monday to Sunday 3.00pm to 6.00pm
