In the 16th Century, a banquet was done terribly different to the ones of today. The term banquet stemmed from the medieval term for ‘ceremony of the void’. It would be the time of an evening where the all guests would adjourn to a parlour as the table was cleared, or ‘voided’ as the year indicates. We present you with a drink befitting a banquet itself.

The Blood and Sand is one of only a few mixed drinks to obtain Scotch. It was named after Rudolph Valentino’s 1922 bullfighter movie ‘Blood and Sand’. The colour of the drink represented the blood from the bulls. We like Planet of the Apes better, no animals were harmed. This is our creative take on the classic, using Blood Orange, Aperol, Monkey Shoulder Whiskey and a homemade Spiced Syrup… Don’t ask the ingredients, we will never tell.

Would we go back? Yes, I think I'd revisit if I found myself searching for a drink and a nibble on this side of town, or I'd happily try one of their cocktail degustations! The cocktails were absolutely delicious, the decor was fun, and the food was fairly tasty, if just a tad on the expensive side.
