Tom Browns Brasserie

Had a beautiful meal with my family for my birthday ,fillet steak is so tender. Staff were brilliant ,no complaints .If you want a special night out choose Tom Browns

I have to say that for some years now Tom Browns has been at the top of the list for being one of my favourite restaurants. I have always loved the quality of the food and it's hospitality. Last Saturday, 9th December I was fortunate to hold a dinner party for my daughter's 21st birthday which included her family and close friends. Altogether, there were 14 of us. The staff were absolutely faultless, attentive and engaging. Sadly, the birthday cake had collapsed and although not altogether destroyed, it would not have been nice for my daughter to have seen it presented in it's state. However, head chef came to the rescue and was able to do his magic and my daughter was later presented with her cake in all it's beauty, never knowing what had happened to it previously. Thank you Head Chef Liam. You may not wear a cloak but you were definitely a superhero in our eyes. I also have to include how enjoyable our meals were and how quickly they all came at the same time, leaving no one person having to wait ages for their food. Thank you Tom Browns for a wonderful dining experience.

We had a really lovely festive afternoon tea here about 4yrs ago,unfortunately this wasn’t the case when we returned this year. Apart from a very basic mince pie and a tiny Christmas pudding there was nothing else to indicate it was Christmas. Very poor theme this year. Plus they really shouldn’t use the picnic benches for a festive afternoon tea. These have been used all year round for years and should really be retired now in want of a new idea. Service was slow,we were seated and had to wait 10-15 minutes until a waitress asked us our drinks order. Food was ok,nothing special. I don’t think we will return.

My wife and I had a meal in this restaurant while we were at Lowdhams with our motorhome. We thought that it was going to be really expensive as it looks very nice but the price was fair. The food was lovely, the service was fantastic and I would definitely use this restaurant again if visiting Lowdhams.

The night we visited was very busy with a large party in. We were greeted and about to be shown to our table when two other people interrupted and started talking to the waiter. The waiter dealt with them first with no apology. Our Camembert starter was cool. The mains were fine but again the sticky toffee pudding was cold. That was returned to the kitchen but took a while to be returned by which time one of us had finished our dessert. We were given a refund. The excuse of cold meals was the microwave had broken. These things happen but it did spoil the overall experience.I do not expect this service at this type of restaurant. Although we were given discount I did not feel that the staff were really that concerned that this had happened. Disappointing.
