Newstead discovered a new meaning to the word ‘neighbourhood’ when Mrs Brown’s Bar & Kitchen opened its doors on Commercial Road. The wholesome bar and eatery is focused not only on bringing together locals over home-style food and drinks, but is also working with it’s neighbours to present diners a more diverse offering. Head chef Adam Marino (ex-LONgTIME and Spirit House) has created a menu of bar snacks, salads, protein-based mains, sides and desserts – think everything from lamb pancakes and fried cauliflower tossed with Korean spices, to slow-cooked lamb shoulder and smashed roast potatoes. These dishes sit alongside woodfired pizzas from Gianni’s Kitchen across the road and additional desserts from La Macelleria Gelateria. Behind the bar you can order from an impressive selection of wine, frosty tap beers and a vast collection of top-shelf spirits.
