Oli Brown

Oli Brown heads up the kitchen at Updown, drawing from his wealth of experience from founding Brixton's Duck Duck Goose, his time in Hong Kong running the kitchens of Swire Hotel’s first stand alone restaurant and alongside the esteemed Rowley Leigh at Le Café Anglais. In 2022, Brown, with Leigh’s daughter Ruth, founded Updown, a restaurant and hotel near Deal, Kent and created the perfect environment for Brown’s simple, hyper-seasonal and Italian leaning menu.
