On hand at the bubbling Brook celebrations were the pub’s spirits suppliers who concocted the Auchentoshan & Ale cocktail which they hope will change people’s perceptions of whisky as a cold weather drink and’convert non whisky drinkers’.
Made with Auchentoshan whisky, ale and strawberry jam it sounded weird but looked and tasted summery and refreshing. Young’s were showcasing their range of beers including their latest IPA London ale.
Food at the Brook Green ranges from pub staples such as sandwiches and shared plates to formal dining with specialities including pan fried Scottish hake and Dingley Dell pork collar with braised red cabbage and celeriac puree. The pub has a variety of eating and drinking places, and has given them all names, ranging from The Smith’s Table, a relaxed living room style area with comfy sofas, The Train Carriage – a high seated bench table with curtains around for privacy, and throne like seats near the bar called’The Lucky Area’.
Below stairs, Smith’s Cocktail Bar is a late night drinking den open Wednesday and Thursday 5pm to midnight and Friday and Saturday 5pm til 1.30 am.
