Manchester restaurant Browns on King Street has revealed a brand new look following a major refurbishment.
The brasserie and bar is housed in one of Manchester’s most beautiful buildings, an awe-inspiring Edwardian former banking hall with imposing high ceilings, original marble, wood panelling and exquisite art nouveau detail.
Still, it hasn’t had a makeover in quite some time, so bosses decided to upgrade its interiors to match the restaurant and bar’s stunning settings.

Its new refurbed interiors now match the venue’s glamorous settings perfectly, taking inspiration from the 1920s with art deco styling, luxurious furnishings, and opulent finishes.
To add an extra magical touch, the venue has also revealed it will now be hosting weekly live piano performances in its restaurant every Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday lunchtime.

As for the menu itself, Brown’s brasserie continues to offer a seasonal British menu, extensive cocktail list and fine selection of wine and champagne.
Ideally located for shoppers looking for somewhere swanky to lunch, it’s at most a five-minute walk from Manchester’s bustling Market Street and only a short stroll from the Northern Quarter.
Open all day from breakfast through to dinner, cuests can choose from fresh market fish delivered daily, fresh lobster, sharing Chateaubriand and fillet steak surf & turf from Thursday to Saturday, and traditional roasts on Sundays.
There is also plenty for vegetarians and vegans to enjoy, as well as a Coeliac UK-accredited gluten free menu.

Greater Manchester public urged to help get people ‘off the streets and on their feet’ before Christmas

Locals are being urged to help get hundreds of people “off the streets and back on their feet” this festive season.
As the temperatures told colder by the day, and Christmas creeps closer and closer, Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity is bringing back ‘1000 Beds for Christmas’, and the massively-important initiative is aiming to provide 1,000 nights of accommodation to people at risk of homelessness before the big day arrives.
Forming part of the ongoing ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme, this festive fundraising mission is designed to provide food, shelter, warmth, and dedicated vital wrap-around support for those who need it most.
The charity says it wants to build on the “incredible success of 2023”, which raised more than £55,000 and provided 1,800 nights of accommodation.
Stockport-based property finance specialists, Together – which has supported the campaign for the last two years – has, once again, generously pledged to match every public donation for the first £20,000 raised.
Unfamiliar with the ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme? Since 2017, when rough sleeping peaked, the initiative has helped ensure a significantly-higher rate of reduction in the numbers of people facing a night on streets in Greater Manchester than seen nationally.
The landmark scheme has given people the chance to rebuild their lives, while also giving them access to key services and opportunities that allows them to stay off the streets for good.
Despite the scheme’s recent success, organisations across Greater Manchester are under “a huge amount of pressure” to meet the demand for their services this winter, and given the current economic outlook, household budgets will continue to be squeezed – leaving people on the sharp end of inequality and poverty.
