Really enjoyed my coeliac friendly afternoon tea. I was really surprised at the choice and great options . Very tasty, friendly staff. We had to sit in the middle of the room so lots of people walking past and couldn't move to the side as other tables were reserved. However lovely choice and tea for a coeliac this is a gem as it's hard to indulge. Really good price too, even for London.

Our server, Anu, was knowledgeable about gluten-free options and was very attentive to our tables needs. I did have gf onion rings and gf scallops, which were delicious. I would give 5 stars if the gluten free menu included fish & chips.

Afternoon tea at Browns has one of the highlights of our trip to London, including for my 17 yo and 21 yo girls. We have a celiac in our group and so it was great to find a place that could accommodate dietary issues without compromising on the offerings. This was both a relaxing and indulgent experience, and good value compared to other teas I considered.

Dined here this evening. We thought we had booked, but it couldn't be found. That was no issue though, we were seated straight away. The food was quick to be served and tasted excellent. We had a gluten free member of the party and there was a seperate menu with great options. Our waitress Sneha was the stand out, she was incredible. Happily offered to move us when an extra person joined our party. She was helpful, bubbly, patient and honestly made the experience 10x better. Cannot rate her enough, will definitely be back and highly recommend!

The place is great! Sneha was kind and attentive. I can’t eat gluten and the restaurant has a whole menu with gluten free items. The food cames sinalized from the kitchen.

Service was flawless, Nikos, our waiter, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. My sister and my niece, visiting for the weekend, were truly and positively impressed. Having ordered one gluten free meal, we even had a dedicated waiter to take it to our table. A 100% unforgettable experience! Food was superlative!

Browns Covent Garden is a delightful spot for a quintessentially English high tea with friends. The art-deco interior feels like stepping back into a glamorous 1920s London lounge, with gleaming brass accents and plush seating. Tiered trays arrive piled high with delicate sandwiches, warm scones, and decadent pastries, and the team is certified gluten-free and caters to allergies like true professionals. The lively yet relaxed atmosphere keeps conversation flowing as easily as the tea and bubbly, though the gluten-free tray could use a little more variety and a few extra fruits in the pot of cream to really shine. It’s popular for good reason, so be sure to book ahead for this stylish afternoon treat.

We recently visited when watching The Cursed Child, and picked this restaurant due to its gluten free friendly reputation. The service was really excellent and seating was spacious with a lovely interior. They had some great gluten free option for children, and my little one opted for the sea bass, which was cooked beautifully. Others had fish and chips which looked lovely but they said was lacking a little flavour and the chips were not triple cooked and crispy. I had the chicken and thyme roast dinner which I did send back as it was like warm, but was delicious once heated up. The brownie and trifle desserts were good. Overall it was a lovely meal, pricey but fresh food that tasted great. They do add a service charge, so be aware that you don’t get to choose your own tip amount. The service is very good and staff are very friendly.

Waiter was kind. Had High Tea. Gluten Free options were plentiful but not necessarily tasty. But I hate GF bread. I just thought it might be different this time. It wasn’t; they simply have not created a decent one, not the fault of Browns. The scone, clotted cream and jam was brilliant! The lobster and lettuce was tasty. The lemons curd or custard was divine. The tea was plentiful and tasted great.

Really lovely lunch during Christmas visit to London. Would recommend, especially great Gluten Free menu. Beautifully decorated for Christmas, great service and the actual building and interior decor stunning. Will return next time I’m in London.

I had booked a table for 18 people at the Covent Garden restaurant to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Our table was set up early and in an undisturbed area of the restaurant. Due to our party size, we had pre-ordered our food. Our waiter, Alessandro, worked tirelessly to ensure we had everything we needed & took great care to ensure any allergy or intolerance issues were also dealt with, along with the requirements of the vegetarian & vegan members of our party. His charming & helpful demeanor really helped make our experience extra special! All food courses arrived in a timely manner - no mean feat with a booking of our number, & was absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend this particular venue more highly to anyone and you may be fortunate enough to be served by Alessandro as well!
