Cask No. 53.474 Peated

ULTIMATE PUB GRUB SMACKDOWN

sold out

Dry roasted peanuts collided with salt 'n' vinegar crisps. Then there was mercurochrome all over the place and it all got washed away with seawater, pickled gherkins and capers. The pickled onions barely got a look-in. With a break for water up popped salted liquorice, umami crackers and almonds rendered with smoked sea salt and chilli – all very silly!

Mouth time: and it was straight off the marks with seared shellfish over hot coals grappling with bacon-flavour corn snacks, before cured rollmop herring got all muddled up by some vigorous peat smoke. Water break again and – out of nowhere – preserved lemons, wet kelp and hot salty chips doused in malt vinegar appeared. There was also a barbecue, a roast, a picnic and a lot of snacking in between.
