Gillray’s Steakhouse and Bar Review

Posted on by

Gillray’s Steakhouse and Bar is one of London’s gems. Not only is it the perfect place to have one of their amazing cocktails, it also has a stunning location. Right near the London Eye, the view while you eat is something to behold. Which brings us to the food.

When you sit down you will be treated to one of Gillray’s famous Yorkshire Puddings. They are huge, delicious and come with perfect horseradish sauce. They also have cheese in them. My mouth is watering just writing this.

To start I have the Pan fried scallops with brussel tops, crispy ham and cauliflower purée. My colleague has the soup of the day: Cauliflower and truffle. The scallops are perfectly cooked, the crispy ham is just that and the purée gives a very different touch. I am unsure at first but it works. My colleagues soup is also delicious. I have a great mocktail, proving that Gillray’s can still deliver without alcohol and my colleague has a glass of wine that she really enjoys.

For our mains I have the Gillray’s Steak Burger. It comes with chips and a wonderful marmalade. The tomato sauce and brown sauce is made especially for Gillray’s, it tasted great and comes in very cute jars. My colleague has the South Coast Lemon Sole with Parsley Butter. On the side she has the Cauliflower Cheese. All is superb.

For dessert my colleague has the Gillray’s classic Traditional Sherry Trifle: layered sponge fingers and red fruit soaked in sherry, covered with custard and topped with whipped cream. It is different, fun, mouth wateringly tasty and you even get the recipe to take away with you. I have the Chef’s Ice Cream. You get three scoops and I choose mint chocolate chip, valrbona dark chocolate and raspberry ripple. The ice cream is yummy. Just as I expected.

We finish with an English Breakfast tea for me and an Espresso for my colleague. They go down perfectly after our superb meal. I will definitely be returning to Gillray’s again. I think I will try their afternoon tea next.

Festive Flare and Winter Warmers

Posted on by

With Christmas just around the corner and festive cheer spreading across the city, Gillray’s expertly mixed Winter Warmer Christmas cocktails can help banish the cold winter night blues and get you in to the swing of the party season!

 

This Christmas Gillray’s team of talented mixologists have innovatively and successfully combined those classic flavours, to deliver Christmas in a glass.

 

 

Get in to the swing of the festive season with the deliciously chic Rudolph cocktail;the perfect combination of orange brandy, benedictine and dry Curacao leaves, delicately finished off with dry Curacao flavoured candy floss. This glamorous cocktail is guaranteed to help you celebrate Christmas 2012 in style.

 

 

 

The Sherry Posset is a modern twist on one of oldest classics in British mixology: the Old World Flip. Elegant and smooth, this cocktail combines Bristol Cream, nutmeg, milk and a hint of caramel.

 

 

 

Why not while away a cold winter evening with Gillray’s inspiring take on Mrs Beeton’s 1869 Mulled Wine recipe; the lively claret gently mulled with ginger wine, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, clementines, honey and bay leaves instantly brings the word Christmas to the lips. Gillray’s Mulled Wine is Christmas in a glass.

 

 

 

Alternatively warm up this winter with a Hot Spiced Mead! With the mead delicately combined with orange liqueur, cloves, cinnamon and star anise, it is impossible to resist this hearty winter warmer!

 

 

The winter warmer cocktails are available at Gillray’s Steakhouse & Bar from 1st December, priced from £10.

 

Gillray’s Steakhouse & Bar within the Marriott Hotel County Hall enjoys a prime position on the South Bank, with picturesque views of some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including the London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the river Thames.
