1011136 Brown Thomas

This is the second of the wallet-emptiers, albeit to a much lower scale - in the place you might expect to be the dearest around.

Brown Thomas has had a restaurant with a wine licence for decades, and in 2016 transferred in a pub licence to allow the sale of beer and spirits. I didn't actually see any beer on sale; but there were spirits, cocktails and off-sales of premium whiskey occurring from what is now branded as Hugh Brown's Restaurant. Hugh Brown being the Brown of what used to be written as "Brown, Thomas" in the store name.

Currently operated by the Kemp Sisters, probably best known for Itsa Bagel but who also run a significant range of outlets in other department stores, galleries and museums, the food on offer here is general fancy presentations of fairly normal items. For instance, i had chicken goujons and chips, albeit not branded quite like that on the menu.

Total bill here was about half of the TGI Fridays experience. I won't be back to either place, but I'm not in the target audience for either place to begin with.
