Mulberry Bush (Bar, Restaurant)

For those wanting to put their feet up after a day of sightseeing and shopping, homemade mains come in the form of traditional pub classics; London ale bangers, mash and onion gravy; Steak and Young’s ale pie served with honey roasted vegetables and ale battered haddock, triple cooked chips and mushy peas. Look out for the TV clapper boards which display a further seasonal-changing selection that might include a whole grilled sea bass served with allotment salad and salsa verde; or oven baked aubergine with goat’s cheese, red onion and tomato.

Ideal for a quick business lunch or speedy bite, a selection of main dishes can be ordered in smaller portions for just £7 each and include options of chicken and bacon salad, the Denhay macaroni cheese; and ham, egg and triple cooked chips. In addition, sustenance can be found on bread with fillings such as smoked salmon with lemon and crème fraiche and London bangers with red onion jam.

If there’s room for something sweet, the Mulberry Bush’s home baked rhubarb crumble and sticky toffee pudding served with vanilla pod custard or cream are the encore you will not want to miss.

THE GRAZERS

For an informal bite with friends, opt for a selection of the Mulberry Bush’s small plates. These grazers include sweet potato and beetroot wedges, salt and pepper squid with sweet chilli and mussels with pale ale and smoked bacon. For those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty, the sticky Jack Daniels honey half rack ribs will be a real treat, especially when paired with a plate of triple cooked chips and or the more saintly allotment salad grazing plate.

THE DRINKS

Drinks feature a choice of cask-conditioned and bottled beers, including Young’s Bitter and Young’s Special, as well as seasonal guest ales. Alternatively opt for a Meantime craft beer or a refreshing post-show glass or two from the extensive wine list.
