Top London Pubs Honour Their Country
The acclaimed Queens in Crouch End, finalist of Best Gastropub at the Time Out Eating and Drinking Awards 2006, with her sister pubs The Roebuck in Chiswick, The Prince Regent in Kensington and Lots Road Pub and Dining Room in Chelsea will celebrate the very best of Blighty with their Great British Food and Drink Festival.
From 5th February – 11th February, diners and drinkers alike will be able to enjoy the finest food, wine and beer, sourced locally, not globally, exclusively from the British Isles so you can taste of the best of the rest of the country without leaving the capital.
Each pub will have its own distinctively British menu, but starters might include potted trout and shrimp butter, Loch Fyne oysters with shallot dressing or cock-a-leekie soup with winter warmer mains such us Lancashire hot pot with English greens, braised faggots with onion gravy and smoked haddock with Welsh rarebit for main course. Examples of desserts on offer are rhubarb parkin, a traditional sherry trifle, treacle tart or sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce.
The menu is accompanied by a small selection of hidden gems from Old Blighty’s burgeoning wine yards, think Chapel Down, Downland White 2004, as well as five country-wide cask ales, each served in free standing barrels, including Bishops Finger, a nut brown ale from Faversham in Kent and the sublime Heart Warmer, a dark beer brewed with roasted malt and malted wheat from Burton on Trent.
The Great British Food and Drink Festival – a unique gourmet experience from the green, green grass of home.
