The Hand & Flowers revives iconic dishes for 20th anniversary 'Classics' Menu

The Hand & Flowers, the UK’s only two-Michelin-starred pub, will launch a special 'Classics' Menu in January. The move marks the start of its 20th anniversary celebrations in 2025. Diners can enjoy a three-course meal for £95.00, featuring dishes that have defined the pub since its opening in 2005. The 'Classics' Menu will bring back some of the pub’s most iconic dishes. Starters include Roasted Red Mullet with Preserved Fennel, Pollen, and Sauce Bouillabaisse au Beurre, first served in 2016. Another returning favourite is the Hand & Flowers Warm Gala Pie with 'Matson' Spiced Sauce, also from 2016.

For mains, guests can choose Braised Shin of Beef with Roasted Bone Marrow and 'H&F' Carrot, a dish from 2005. Butter Roast Cod with Jerusalem Artichoke Purée, Smoked Cod’s Roe, Hazelnuts, and Golden Raisins, introduced in 2009, will also return. The team behind the menu has deep roots at the pub. Lourdes Dooley, General Manager, has worked there for 18 years, while Restaurant Manager Katie Gavin has been part of the team for 16 years. Tom De Keyser, another key member, joined over a decade ago.

The 'Classics' Menu will run throughout 2025, giving diners a chance to revisit dishes that shaped the pub’s reputation. The three-course offering reflects two decades of culinary excellence at The Hand & Flowers. Reservations are expected to open in early January.
