Browns Lane Bar & Restaurant 2A Browns Lane, Loughborough LE11 3HE

"This is one of the more high end spots in Loughborough, and the food is divine. The mains are certainly worth the price you pay, and everything we ate over all 3 courses was very very tasty indeed, special mention to the cod! Despite this, the portion sizes (bar the mains) were a little bit lack luster, with £7 for a few slithers of beetroot, a little sauce and a croquet being a little excessive in my opinion. The place is nicely decorated, and has been done up rather fashionably. The only other thing left to mention was the staff really, who, despite being generally kind and attentive, made us feel pretty uncomfortable after making comments behind the bar about us asking for more tap water. This place could easily be 5 stars, but a few issues left a very slight bitter taste in our mouths. Don’t think we’ll be rushing back, but the food is definitely worth giving a go! The parfait was also gorgeous!"

"I used to like brown's, but on the last visit I wasn't impressed. 2 of the beers on tap were no longer being served due to lack of people buying them. When we received the menus they were set to Sunday lunch and we had to pull the printed paper out and turn it round. My starter was tasty, and my main was fine. There's nothing bad, just not what it used to be and could be so much better. I wouldn't go back"

"We came here for my birthday and the food was 5/5 incredible, our server was lovely however the actual service was quite slow and disorganised. Parts of our order were forgotten and drinks took a long while to arrive, although all the issues were resolved it did slightly disappoint an otherwise lovely evening"

"If you have yet to visit browns lane in Loughborough I personally advise you do. Lewis the new owner is a very charismatic man, runs his resturant with a very personal and professional approach, our waitress was mya she was very friendly and knowledgeable the food was incredible and served very quickly, starter we had spicy King prawns, mains was steak med rare and belly pork, desert was raspberry compot and chocolate fudge dome, the starter was fresh light and very delicious not overly spicy, the steak was cooked to perfection and the chips are a game changer, the belly pork I have never in my life had such an explosion of flavour from the melt in the mouth meat and the roasted veg was lovely, both deserts where fantastic the chocolate dome melted away as Lewis poured the toffee over the top (sorry no pictures of this) the compot was lovely and fluffy and the home made short bread was just perfection, the house merlo was beautiful ended up having 3 glasses and although there is no cocktail menu yet they did provide cocktails on request and both we tried where brilliant, a must visit if you like alle cart food."

"Great service, good food, and well-priced wine (£18 for a bottle of Malbec). Nice little touches like a palate cleanser between courses."
