Vast beer range at The Draft House Westbridge (Battersea)
We’ve been to The Draft House Battersea quite a lot lately, sometimes for food, sometimes just for a drink.
As it’s now reached *favoured pub* status, this Draft House branch warrants its own listing (you can read about The Draft House Tower Bridge, here).
To help you decide for yourself if it’s worth a visit (don’t just take my word for it) here are a few recent Westbridge culinary treats, so grab a beer and scroll on…
Sunday dinner one fine summer’s day
after kayaking, capsizing + swallowing a mouthful of the Thames, August 2011 – desperately in need of a better taste in my mouth:
Sunday roast: beautiful pork belly with mouth-wateringly crispy crackling + roast parsnips
Medium rare chilli burger @ around £10
Sunday dinner in autumn
BK in town – he deserved another intro to the Draft House. Well, he’s getting old. He forgets…
Perfectly runny Scotch egg with curried mayo starter @ £3.25
Sunday roast: beef, parsnips, Yorkshire pud + trimmings @ around £10
Medium rare burger (looks like a ‘smoke’: cheddar + house-cured bacon) @ £9.75
And one winter night, Feb 2012
Hamburger special: The Yolk – 8oz burger with flat fried egg + glazed hollandaise @ £9.50
You’ll be hard-pushed to find a finer burger than the hamburger specials at the Draft House. Everything about this place has ‘thoughtful’ and ‘care’ stamped on it. Even the bar staff are passionate and knowledgeable about the range of drinks they sell.
And if you don’t like gastro food or any of the vast selection of beers, you can’t possibly dislike the wallpaper:
