Browns restaurant in Oxford has reopened following a major refurbishment.

A local institution since it opened in the 1970s, Browns in Woodstock Road occupies a prime location near the city’s major attractions and university buildings, and offers a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere for dining and drinking.

Taking inspiration from the 1920s, the new interior features art deco styling, luxurious furnishings and opulent finishes, providing a stunning backdrop to enjoy the seasonal British menu, extensive cocktail list, and fine selection of wine and Champagne.

“We can’t wait to open the doors and welcome guests, both old and new, to experience the new Browns for themselves, we hope they love the new look.”

Guests can choose from fresh market fish delivered daily, fresh lobster, sharing Chateaubriand and fillet steak surf and turf from Thursday to Saturday, and traditional roasts on Sundays. There is also plenty for vegetarians and vegans to enjoy, and a standalone Gluten Free menu accredited by Coeliac UK.
