Frequently asked
Does Browns Brasserie & Bar UK use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Browns Brasserie & Bar UK cooks with: rapeseed oil and vegetable oil blend. Across the 169 menu items we analyzed, it averages 5.1g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of B (Medium Risk).
What oil does Browns Brasserie & Bar UK cook with?
Our research indicates: rapeseed / blended vegetable oil in the fryers (the UK default across Mitchells & Butlers kitchens) — that is what the triple-cooked chips, seasoned fries, onion rings, battered haddock, panko-crumbed schnitzel and salt & pepper squid absorb, so those are the highest-PUFA dishes. The second PUFA source is the cold sauces: aioli, tartare, prawn-cocktail sauce and Caesar dressing are all rapeseed-oil mayonnaise. By contrast a large part of the Browns menu is butter- and cream-based (brown butter sole, hollandaise, Bearnaise, garlic butter, Cheddar mash, creme brulee, sticky toffee pudding) and butter is only about 3-4% PUFA, so the steaks minus their fries, the roasted fish and most desserts score low. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.
Does Browns Brasserie & Bar UK use beef tallow?
No. Our research indicates Browns Brasserie & Bar UK cooks with rapeseed oil and vegetable oil blend, not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

What are seed oils?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic?
