Browns at Butlers Wharf is a British brasserie and bar at 26 Shad Thames. Its riverside setting includes a large terrace and views across the Thames, creating a relaxed backdrop for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner. The menu combines familiar British dishes with the polish of a classic brasserie, while live music and generous spaces make the venue useful for celebrations as well as casual meals.
The main menu balances seafood, steaks and comforting favourites. Browns fish pie, chicken schnitzel, braised beef and steak frites sit alongside risotto and seasonal salads. Lighter lunch choices can include sea bass with potato salad or vegetable dishes built around the produce of the season, allowing diners to choose between a quick midday course and a more leisurely meal.
Sunday brings traditional roasts such as sirloin of beef and slowly cooked pork belly with crisp potatoes, vegetables and gravy. Breakfast and brunch are served earlier in the day, with a traditional cooked breakfast and French toast among the choices. Afternoon tea adds finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, small cakes and puddings, with Champagne available for a more celebratory version.
Desserts draw on British favourites through sticky toffee pudding, trifle, fruit and cream based seasonal recipes. Cocktails, spritzes, wine, Prosecco and Champagne support the bar side of the restaurant, and alcohol free drinks are also available. The combination of an all day menu, river views and a dedicated private dining room gives Browns a broad appeal at this historic wharf.
