user reviews of the Brownswood Park Tavern, Finsbury Park

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

It's alright, food looks quite nice, but I've never indulged. Only criticism would be the fairly large (but friendly-ish) dog that was lying around, tripping me up.

i am really sad to hear about kay, my sincere condolences to billy. I moved away a year and a half ago and i had many a lock in with them. i have only just found out thru this site. i am in shock. they were the only pub in london that i have ever had the village feel as i had in cornwall.. PROPER LANDLORDS.

We've set up a Facebook site for all Brownswood lovers (it's like a big old dysfunctional family anyway). Go to facebook and look up the Brownswood Park Tavern Appreciation Society!

Sad news indeed for what is a great local.

I've been using this pub for about 7 years and love it. However, on 9th February Kay unexpectedly passed away. This will be a great loss to the community and the pub.

I love this pub. I've been living around the corner for about 3 years now, and Kay & Billy treat us like one of the family. Good thai food, a great mix of people... it's everything you'd ever want in a local. I sympathize with the moving situation too, as we're looknig around and don't want to move too far from it!

This is the perfect local pub. I'm thinking about moving house, but frankly I'd be upset if this wasn't my local and therefore I'm delaying the move.
The pub used to be a druggie, violent, dodgy hell-hole; it's now been transformed by the family running it into a true 'local' with always a friendly welcome and a good mix of people drinking there.

Started coming here a couple of months ago, yet within this time i have been so warmly welcomed, i feel like a member of the family! Always a friendly atmosphere, and an entertaining night. Well done Kay and Billy!

The largest indoor bicycle rack in London, many with anxious owners looking on each time the stack is disturbed - the reason is ths boozer mixes the locals with the indoor climbers from the Castle climbing centre across the road. Beer -well the is ale in good nick usually Pride, Deuchars, and one other if your'e lucky, still its a good spot despite the smokers fud. The Alsatian has no hint of its Germanic roots being a little soft and not too bothered by the errant brits/others mix....

One couldn't ask for a better local. Billy must be the best landlord in the world, who is rather fond of a cigar along with a single malt whisky!

I've been going to this pub for about 5 years and absolutely love it. The Thai food is excellent, and they also do a roast at the weekend.

The crowd is very mixed, the staff friendly and fun. They make an effort to learn the customers names, and always make you feel welcome.

The kind of pub where you feel perfectly at ease turning up on your own and either keeping to yourself, or sitting at the bar chatting to staff and other punters.

Top notch local.

Great Thai food served by resident Thai crew who are really friendly.
Frequented by the crowd from the Castle climbing centre opposite. Good pint of Bass if you're inot that sort of thing.

Traditional pub with range of drinkers, from old boys to students and locals.

It has a beer garden and table

The food is excellent, with a good range of excellent thai food.
