Browns (Islington)

l am a regular visitor to Browns Islington, l always find the manager and staff are extremley helpfull, with extensive knowledge of the menu and wine list.

The food is always of a high standard and the atmosphere is typical of a good London eaterie' The location is good and easy to find. l have recommmended this place to many of my friends as a very good place to eat whilst visiting London.

This dreadful branch of Browns is taking up a wonderful location in Islington, while shamelessly serving atrocious food that would barely have passed muster in the dark days of British cooking in the 1980s.

Shockingly overpriced. My barely edible "hamburger" cost a whopping 11.95 and was served after a half-hour wait for a disgruntled waitress to take our order. Cappuccinos resembled the kind students make at home from powder out of a packet. The lavatory was a disgrace, with a barely-functioning sink and overflowing rubbish bin.

Don't go! But do please pray for a Carluccio's, or other self-respecting brand to swoop down over this prime N1 spot and give us locals something decent.
