Food
Brooke House
Fulham
This award-winning gastropub delivers divine small plates and Sunday roasts in an airy, calming atmosphere. Woodland imagery decorates the walls and plush green sofas encourage comfortable dining – and a real tree sits in the centre! You can choose from the extensive menu selection of small plates, including a rich steak tartare with truffle mayonnaise, tarragon mustard and truffle crisps, and a shredded duck leg salad with hoisin dressing and cashew nuts. This mouth-watering menu is even further outdone by their Sunday roast selection, with choices of a roast lamb rump, dry aged beef rump and 55-day aged middlewhite pork, with sides of cauliflower cheese or endive, walnut and gorgonzola salad.
