Six treats to keep out the cold

Posted on 07 Feb 2017 in Pub | Comments Off on Six treats to keep out the cold

2017 is off to a great start, but we’re already counting down the days to spring in Sissinghurst. We can’t wait for the excitement of lambing, the first crop of asparagus, the splendour of bluebells, or a slice of pizza on the terrace. These treats are all in store in time for the Easter holidays, but until then, we’re keeping busy, and planning lots of exciting things to distract us from the grey skies and icy mornings:

1. MIDWINTER MENUS / January to March
2. VALENTINE’S DAY / Saturday 11 February & Tuesday 14 February
3. WARM & FUZZY WINTER WEDNESDAYS / Every Wednesday
4. RBS 6 NATIONS RUGBY / February to March
5. SHROVE TUESDAY / Tuesday 28 February
6. MOTHERING SUNDAY / Sunday 26 March

 

1. MIDWINTER MENUS
January to March

One of the best things about cold weather is hearty food. We hope you’ll take comfort in our midwinter menus packed with warming flavours to suit the season. On our Dining Menu you’ll find mustard-brushed pork fillet with sweet potato mash and duck confit with orange scented lentils and caramelised chicory. Meanwhile our puds include a tempting orange and almond treacle pudding and an indulgent After Eight crème brûlée.Fancy a dirty burger, a crispy piece of cod or some juicy bangers? In the bar area, we’ve got all appetites covered because our Classic Menu is now available all day, every day from 12–9pm.

4. RBS 6 NATIONS RUGBY
February to March

The RBS 6 Nations kick off on Saturday 4 February and we’ll be showing all the games on our big screen throughout February and March. To celebrate, we’ve been rustling up a batch of freshly baked steak, port & blue cheese pies. And because nothing goes better with a pie than a pint, we’ve put a special dark ale on tap at just £3 a pint.

5. SHROVE TUESDAY
Tuesday 28 February

We’ll be celebrating Shrove Tuesday on Tuesday 28 February with a selection of flippin’ fabulous pancakes alongside our Grazing and Pudding menus! We’re serving chargrilled lemon and sugar, berry compote and Chantilly cream, or chocolate and hazelnut. Pop in and take your pick.

6. MOTHERING SUNDAY
Sunday 26 March

On Mothering Sunday, we’ll be serving lunch in our Dining Room from 12–6pm. The special menu will include a delicious roast of spring lamb and a pretty posy of flowers for the lady of the day to take home with her. For smaller tummies, there will be a mini menu with baby portions of big favourites. So bring the family together and celebrate at The Milk House! Tables are available to book now and the final menu will be published on our website.
