The Sipping Room | Drake & Morgan | European | Map

I have something to admit. I love West India Quay. I love being by the water, and staring up at the gigantic buildings that feel as though they’re hugging me (it reminds me a lot of Tokyo). And I love the hidden little gems dotted around, some of which you might not associate with the area. But I realise that not everyone feels the same way as me, so I always jump at the chance to bring someone along on my visits. And such an opportunity occurred last weekend, when VA and I decided to go for some Winter eats at The Sipping Room.

Hygge-worthy Atmosphere

As Autumn ends, and Winter starts to draw in, I begin looking for a different kind of restaurant. I start looking for somewhere that serves comforting food, with a cosy & warm atmosphere. The Sipping Room seemed like the perfect place for this, with their warm lighting, enticing menu, and friendly staff. Some might say it’s hygge-worthy. And you can see why, with the Scandinavian stylings and the family-friendly atmosphere.

Cozy Winter Eats

With VA as my foodie sidekick, we perused the menu with ease, and chose the most delectable sounding dishes (favourites are bolded):

• Cocktails
  • London Spritz (Tanquery gin, cucumber, elderflower, apple, mint & soda)
  • Vignard (Botanist gin, dark grape juice, lime, sugar syrup, egg white & lemon thyme)
•  Starters
  • Scotch egg (chorizo & smoked paprika mayonnaise)
  • Salt szechuan pepper squid (lemon mayonnaise)
• Mains
  • Free-range half chicken Sunday roast (Yorkshire pudding & pigs in blankets)
  • Rib of beef Sunday roast (Yorkshire pudding & horseradish sauce)
  • All served with roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, broccoli & gravy
• Pudding
  • Creme Brûlée (biscotti)
  • Chocolate brownie (vanilla ice cream)

Our 3-course meal for two people came to a total of £74.70 (£37.35pp) with two cocktails. Not bad for a treat, however it is on the pricier side if you just fancy a casual Sunday meal. That said, we were pretty indulgent during our visit. I would definitely return for their cocktails, and that Scotch egg! Is that possible? Well if it is, I’d love to go back and check out their new outdoor igloos, where you can wrap up in a cosy sheep skin. The perfect Winter warmer!
