Much-loved gastropub to offer sweet & savoury chocolate inspired menu on Friday 30th & Saturday 31st March

Celebrate your sweet tooth this Easter with an exclusive ‘Chocolate Menu’ at The Crown Inn, Sydenham.

 

Chocolate will be the taste on everyone’s lips, even more than usual this Easter, as popular gastropub - The Crown Inn, Sydenham – offers an exclusive ‘Chocolate Menu’ on Friday 30th & Saturday 31st March.

 

The special set 4-course ‘Chocolate Menu’ will tantalise the taste buds of every chocolate lover, with a savoury & sweet adventure through the much-loved treat…

 

From an indulgent start with dark chocolate, chilli & peanut skewers, followed by tender hogette rump, baby leeks, polenta cake & a rich dark chocolate & thyme jus.

 

Dessert is a serious business with an assiette of chocolate treats, including a chocolate mousse ‘shot’, pistachio & chocolate brownie with chocolate ice cream and a white chocolate and raspberry parfait.

 

The experience will be topped off with a pot of chocolate flake tea, served alongside a plate of home made freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. The ‘Chocolate Menu’ is priced at £36.95 per person.

 

If you fancy something a little stronger to complete your meal, there’ll be a Hot Cross Bun Gin & Tonic, or Chocolate Martini on offer too!

 

Management couple Will & Pippa, themselves partial to a square of Cadbury’s finest, struck upon the idea for a dedicated ‘Chocolate Tasting Menu’ as they were planning for the busy Easter period.

 

Landlady Pippa, explained, “Easter is synonymous with chocolate & indulgence, but the delicious fun doesn’t have to end at hunting for chocolate eggs. Working with our chef Graham’s creativity, we’ve developed a gastronomic adventure – both savoury & sweet - using everyone’s favourite ingredient!’

The Crown Inn will also be hosting a tasty ‘Chocolate Quiz’ on Thursday 29th March, offering a light supper of Mexican ‘Mole’ – a chili & chocolate infused beef stew, followed by a rich chocolate & pistachio brownie.

 

Tickets for the quiz will be £15pp, with guaranteed treats & edible prizes.

 

Plus, there’ll be a FREE Easter Egg Hunt in the pub garden on Sunday 1st April.
