Posted on by

No.1 Duke Street_venue (6)

If you needed another reason to visit the beautiful Richmond, then we have come prepared with a delicious new offering. What used to be an infamous Scream Pub situated at the top of Duke Street has been replaced and taken over by the same dream team who created No. 11 Pimlico Road and No. 32 The Old Town.

No. 1 Duke Street is a breathe of fresh air in the heart of Richmond. Retaining the same familiar charm and elegance No. 11 and No. 32 hold, the bar embodies and oozes class without even having to try hard, something that owner Mel has perfected to a T. What differentiates each one is that they all have their unique personality and soul.

Having attended the opening with a fellow Richmond resident, her response was staggering when describing the previous pub, The Lot, and the miraculous transformation that had taken place. Undoubtedly the bar was buzzing with joyful clientele enjoying the inventive cocktails made by the super professional and attentive staff. So, if you’re after a tasty treat, a date night or a fabulously organised event, we think it’s time for you to hotfoot it down to Duke St Richmond to check it out for yourself.

Celebrate National Snail Day at Café Rouge this Bank Holiday #RougeSnails

Posted on by

CAFEROUGE0235

In case you didn’t know, this Sunday is National Snail Day and to help celebrate, Britain’s best loved Parisian Bistro Café Rouge are offering you the chance to sample them for free. In the same month that they unveil their brand new look and ‘Rejuve’ Menu, Café Rouge are offering all diners a taster pot of the famous escargots simply by asking the waiter. Trust me you won’t be disappointed and the benefits of these delicacies are that they are high in protein and low in carbohydrates and calories. The tastiest diet food.

If you’re feeling extra adventurous in the snail department this Sunday and want to have a go at preparing them yourself then Duncan McEwan, Head Development Chef at Café Rouge, has come up with two fab recipes to try out:

1. Snails on toast! Why not try garlic mushrooms on toast, and throw in a few snails for good measure. The crunch from a beautiful toasted wholemeal slice, with mushrooms, garlic and a touch of parsley, finished with a squeeze of lemon is delicious.

2. A twist on the classic! Keep it simple and go for the traditional Parisian way, sautéed in a little melted salted butter with plenty of chopped fresh garlic and finished with parsley. The addition of chopped chilli and a squeeze of lemon juice would lift this to another level, but it all depends how hot you like it and how much of the snail you want to taste!
