We went to Brawn for our anniversary, booked for 6:45pm and could not have had a better experience. The service was impeccable, and the food even better. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and drinks (alcohol and non) pairings, and made us feel at home. The menu does change often, but ingredients and dishes are seasonal and fresh. Plenty of options for meat, fish and non-meat eaters alike. We got a few snacks, 1 starter, main and desert each which we felt was a good amount of food. Definitely leave space for desert, and I loved a glass of the muscat to pair. Could not recommend more, will be back again!

Such a lovely dinner sat on the chef’s counter - incredible attention to detail in service, felt so looked after. The food was unreal - a good balance of classic dishes done really well and dishes that feel inventive but not contrived. So much thought and preparation behind each dish, and a really passionate team. Loved loved loved, will be back again!
