The low-down
Cubitt House already have good form when it comes to opening pubs in London, with The Thomas Cubitt, The Alfred Tennyson, The Orange and The Grazing Goat all under their belt so far. Now they're getting ready to open their fifth pub, having taken over the Coach and Horses on Marylebone Lane.
It's a pub that's been around for quite some time, having opened 140 years ago, so keeping it as a neighbourhood pub is one of their key aims. But expect more attention to the food too, with seasonal British produce and daily specials on the blackboards. Plus they'll be curing their own meats in-house. On that menu is:
- Chilli salt squid, chilli dressing
- Middle White pork Scotch egg, clementine chutney
- Slow cooked Hebridean lamb, pickled cauliflower & spiced yoghurt
- Jerusalem artichokes, sunflower seeds, kale, truffle dressing
- Lyone Hill Farm venison, parsnips & caramelized pears
- Butternut, chestnut granola, ricotta dumplings & sage brown butter
- White Park beef steak, roasted garlic mash, kale, red wine jus
- Bramley apple pie, caramelized chestnuts, cinnamon parfait
- Toffee pudding cake, grilled pears, custard ice cream
As for the place itself, expect three bars, one on each floor with as much of the original architecture of the building allowed to shine as possible. And they'll have a new basement cocktail bar too.
