Signature Cocktails at The Saddle & Spoke
What could complement our extraordinary food better than an artfully crafted cocktail? Let’s meander over to the bustling bar at The Saddle & Spoke and meet the liquid magicians who mix, muddle, and shake up sheer delight in a glass.
Starting the lineup is our personal favorite, the Saddle & Spoke Sky. This is not your run-of-the-mill cocktail, folks. Imagine a blend of premium gin, zesty lime, a touch of elderflower liqueur and topped with a splash of soda water. But the real showstopper? A secret, in-house made Blue Curacao syrup that turns the cocktail into a mesmerizing sky-blue drink, perfect for Instagram, and even perfected (yes, that’s a word now) for sipping!
Next up, brace yourself for a caffeinated cocktail surprise, our Espresso Martini. This isn’t a drink for the faint-hearted; it’s a bold mix of freshly brewed espresso, premium vodka, and a dash of coffee liqueur, all shaken till it forms a beautiful frothy top. It’s the perfect pick-me-up at any time of the day. An espresso martini at The Saddle & Spoke is like a caffeine hug for your soul.
The Sunday Menu: A Family Feast
Sundays are meant to be special, aren’t they? A day to kick back, relax, and enjoy some quality time with the family. And what better way to cement those cherished bonds than with a shared feast? At The Saddle & Spoke, we’ve taken this concept of communal indulgence and given it our unique spin with our special Sunday menu. The inspiration? The heartwarming Sunday roasts we’ve all grown up loving, but with a few added twists courtesy of our star, Chef Will.
Picture this: A succulent roast beef slow-cooked to perfection, served alongside a medley of vibrant veggies, roasted to bring out their natural sweetness. Add to this a Yorkshire pudding that’s light as a cloud, a rich and flavorful gravy, and a dollop of creamy horseradish sauce and voila! You’ve got yourself a true British classic but with a signature Saddle & Spoke touch.
And it’s not just the roast beef that’s a hit. Our regular customers also rave about the roast chicken, which comes with herby stuffing, pig in blanket, and all the trimmings. Also, the nut roast is a sure winner among our vegetarian and vegan patrons. It’s the perfect blend of crunchy nuts, wholesome grains, and aromatic herbs, topped with a tangy tomato sauce.
Understanding Food Pairings at The Saddle & Spoke in Biggleswade
At The Saddle & Spoke, we believe that the secret to a memorable dining experience lies in harmonizing the symphony of flavors present in a dish. Each ingredient, no matter how humble, has a role to play, and the magic happens when they all chime together in perfect harmony.
Our culinary maestro, Chef Will, is a firm advocate of the philosophy that great food is all about balance. Rich, creamy components are complemented by sharp, zesty ones; robust, hearty flavors are mellowed by light, delicate notes; sweet elements provide a counterpoint to bitter undertones. Every dish on our menu is a testament to this dedication to balance.
An excellent example is our popular Treacle-cured venison. The sweet, smoky depth of the black treacle cured venison strikes a fine balance with the earthy notes of the red cabbage and parsnip puree, while the sharpness of the juniper berry sauce cuts through the richness of the meat. The result is a dish where each component enhances the others, leading to an orchestra of flavors that dances on the palate.
At The Saddle & Spoke, we invite you to embark on a culinary journey, where each dish is a destination of perfectly balanced flavors. So come in, pull up a chair, and let us delight you with our harmonious symphony of food pairings.
