Trumpington Street favourite has a new look and new menu
There’s no denying that Browns is a bit of a local institution. The setting for many a birthday celebration, graduation day meal and evening of cocktails with friends, it occupies a special place in the heart of lots of Cambridge dwellers. As such, it comes as welcome news that this Trumpington Street favourite has recently undergone a refurbishment and launched a brand-new menu bursting with luxurious dishes – and they’re celebrating with 25{b486c5a37ab2d325d17e17d701cb2567b1ecd1814e8ceb33effa2a4f1f171d46} off food throughout May.
The interior of the impressive building, itself a converted Addenbrooke’s wing, is now sporting a fresh new look. Monochrome floor tiling meets tarnished gold and rich blue, abundant foliage, velvet booths, mirrors, dark wood and a stunning vintage-style bar. In short, it’s gorgeous – fully maximising the potential of this historic and light-flooded building.
Edition can vouch for the calibre of the updated food offering too, which sings with seasonal flavours and indulgent British classics. Highlights include an expertly-cooked roast lamb rump with rich red wine jus, accompanied by creamy potato gratin and crushed minted peas. There’s also a sumptuous lobster risotto, pan-fried sea bass on a succulent seafood stew, and slow-cooked pork belly with savoury apple pie, crackling and buttery mash. The salted caramel profiteroles are an oozy, indulgent delight too, and worth the trip alone.
They’ve upped their brunch game too, with a new range of luxurious dishes including the Brown’s Lobster Benedict, as well as adding a ‘Most unusual afternoon tea’, with three tiers of brioche roll sandwiches, home-made scones and dainty miniature desserts.
Another new addition is the private dining area (an excellent option for a larger group or special occasion), while the new seasonal cocktail list – which brims with beautiful concoctions like the Rhubarb and Cucumber Collins – also looks to be well worth working your way through.
Throughout May, Browns will be offering a 25{b486c5a37ab2d325d17e17d701cb2567b1ecd1814e8ceb33effa2a4f1f171d46} discount on food – visit the website for more details.
