About Brownswood
Two-storey Victorian boozer with an open kitchen, upstairs lounge, real ales and outdoor seating.
This Victorian pub stands between Stoke Newington, Finsbury Park and Manor House, just a couple of hundred yards from the North West entrance to Clissold Park. It re-opened in early August 2011, and is run by the same family who run the Rose and Crown and Jolly Butchers (both in N16) and the Wrestlers in Highgate. This saw the introduction of cask beers and ciders and an imaginative food offering served from an open kitchen, full details of which can be found on their website.
The first floor has been opened up to provide a lounge and there's a large beer garden together with outside seating on the street. There are some very impressive brewery mirrors including a Bass one built into an ornate wooden fireplace, together with some nice etched glass features. Closest tube - Manor House about 10 minute walk or take 141/341 bus. Bus 106 passes by to get to Stoke Newington/Finsbury Park station.
Note - payment by card only, no cash.

Been visiting The Brownswood as a pub for years now, on this occasion we stayed in the guesthouse. The room was perfect, immaculately presented with attentive staff. Dita is AMAZING and really lovely, she looked after us at breakfast, keeping the coffee flowing and the toast coming! Also a huge thanks to Michael, and all the pub staff who accommodated a Sunday roast of around 19 of us at 12:30 lunchtime! Food was amazing! Will definitely be back.

The pub is really nice to stay over for a couple of nights in a more relaxed environment, but still with very high standards of cleaniness and service. You have all you need there, are served a very cute and well prepared breakfast, the check in and out times are quite flexible, and the staff is super nice! I totally recommend. If you have light sleep you might want to ask for a room that is quieter, because the house is old therefore you hear the noise from the street, the pub downstairs and other rooms.

Had a very pleasant 3 night stay. Our room was nice with a comfortable bed and modern bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful. The ‘continental’ breakfast was much more than expected and provided in a charming room full of windows looking out on the local neighborhood.

Requested an early check in as I was attending daughter’s graduation. Upgraded to a beautiful suite upon arrival. Room was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Bar had good selection of ales. I didn’t have a meal there. Bus stop 30 seconds walk, nearest tube is Manor House, 5 minutes walk. Excellent stay, will definitely book again.

We had the beef and pork Sunday roasts which were both amazing. Big portions and cooked perfectly. Service was good and had a great selection of drinks
