Windsor quickly following Old Jewry, Canary Wharf and Bristol locations. Set near the historic waterfront, the venue reimagines the classic English brasserie for a contemporary dining market. The interior architecture balances wide circulation paths with quiet, tucked-away dining alcoves, creating an intuitive spatial flow that connects the main entrance, central bar, and elevated dining platforms.

The design focuses on rich colours, patterns and textures – including gorgeous velvet, leather and corduroy. A tactile material palette brings physical warmth and depth to every corner of the venue. Deep red and vibrant mustard velvet banquettes provide plush, continuous seating, anchored by dark leather dining chairs, custom blue-grey wainscoting, and high-contrast geometric tile flooring that visually guides guests through the space.

Architectural detailing and decorative features work together to maximize the daylight drawn through expansive perimeter windows. Large antique mirrored panels line the walls to reflect natural light and expand perceived depth, while brass globe pendants cast a warm ambient glow across dark wood surfaces. A unique signature wallpaper adds to the wow factor, thanks to the talented Glasgow based duo, Timorous Beasties.

The layout divides the generous floor plan into distinct functional zones without interrupting overall sightlines across the room. Lower-level dining areas wrap around a central bar counter and a grand piano entertainment nook, while raised platforms house semi-private booths framed by dark-painted millwork. This flexible spatial arrangement accommodates intimate two-person tables alongside larger group dining setups, allowing the venue to adapt smoothly throughout the day.

Every structural choice, from the built-in booth seating to the curated art placements, serves both aesthetic and operational goals. By weaving heritage details with modern spatial planning, the venue delivers a cohesive, inviting hospitality experience. The successful result reflects the re-invented Browns Brasserie & Bar brand essence: restrained modern glamour.

Flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, this zone bridges intimate seating areas with the active perimeter. Dark leather chairs and bistro tables offer a clear perspective through the large glazed openings, contrasting with the continuing red velvet banquette against the panelled wall.

A curved mustard velvet booth forms an inviting dining nook along a subtle level transition. Framed by blue-grey timber paneling and an antique mirrored wall, the space pairs rich tactile fabrics with clean, light-reflecting surfaces to create a comfortable, multi-layered dining environment.

Deep green walls and rich timber floorboards establish a refined backdrop for the upper dining room. The long mustard velvet banquette stretches along a mirrored partition, maximizing seating capacity while maintaining an airy, light-filled connection to the large perimeter windows.

High ceilings, dark hardwood floors, and expansive window walls give the central dining hall an airy, open feel. Broad circulation pathways connect the main entrance, bar counter, and elevated seating areas, creating an intuitive flow throughout the open-plan floor.

Raised slightly above the main floor, a continuous mustard velvet banquette spans the perimeter wall. Backed by a large timber-framed antique mirror, the seating section establishes a rich, comfortable anchor for mid-scale dining parties while reflecting light across the elevated dining platform.
