Four in Hand Hotel

Don’t be too quick to call yourself greedy – no one expects a $12.50 reuben or $12 fish and citrus soup to be as huge as they are here. While size is a surprise, the assured cooking evident in serial-Instagrammer Colin Fassnidge’s bar menu isn’t: the food comes from the same two-hatted kitchen as Four in Hand restaurant proper. Confettied in roasted corn, barbecued lamb ribs are a smoky example of fat-to-meat harmony, and a Flintstone-esque beef short rib is cooked to the point that chewing, let alone knife use, is pretty much unnecessary. It’s everything pub food should be: big, boisterous and British (or, ahem, Irish…).
