If you haven’t been to the stunning Grade II listed Crocker’s Folly in St John’s Wood, north west London, it’s about time you did. Especially since owners, Maroush Group, have gone back to their roots with a brand new menu that embraces the very best of Lebanese cuisine. Here’s 5 ideal reasons to eat there this week:
50% off food
To celebrate the new menu, there’s 50% off food from 14th – 31st August, lunch and dinner, by reservation only via www.crockersfolly.com or telephone, 020 7289 9898. The 50% discount applies to food only when ordering from the a la carte menu
Bar Bites
Tired of scotch eggs, sausage rolls, pork pies and your other ubiquitous bar snacks? Then you’ll be thrilled with the bar bites menu here. It features lots of small dishes with a Lebanese twist that are perfect for sharing. Try the spicy Lebanese sausages sautéed in lemon and tomato sauce; mini shawarma bites; and quinoa tabbouleh.
Mezza
Find a fantastic array of mezza, sharing platters and grilled meats from the Josper on the menu, as well as artisan breads and pastries from the in-house bakery. Traditional favourites such as melt-in-the-mouth falafel and homemade hummus sit alongside signatures like Sheikh al Mehshi, aubergine filled with minced lamb, pine nuts and onion baked in tomato sauce; and kastaleta veal cutlet cooked on the Josper.
Baked Lebanese pastries
The baked Lebanese pastries, which come with a variety of fillings including minced lamb, spinach or halloumi, are ridiculously delicious.
Contemporary Cocktails
The bar, previously a decadent Victorian gin palace, serves contemporary cocktails with a Middle Eastern twist and include the Julep Baklava – whiskey blended with pistachios and brown sugar. You can also try many excellent Lebanese wines at Crocker’s Folly,
