Eating at British Brewing Company

As a child I have grown up on Enid Blyton books. 
Winnie-the-Pooh is my favourite cartoon character.
London is my favourite city in the world!
So when I hear British Brewing Company (BBC), in Palladium, Mumbai, I am all ready to try it out. Not a bad idea to get a slice of Britain in Mumbai. Is it?



Sprawled over 7000 sq ft and two-floor levels, it is a gorgeous space forged from wood, glass and wrought-iron. It has large windows bringing in diffused sunshine, a central bar with 14 beer taps, gleeful wall art drenched in British humour and some colours fused in to add cheer to the place. It does make me feel that I am right in the heart of Mayfair! 












Head chef Russell D'souza was trained in central London for a good stretch of time to master the flavours of British food. Friends and I are all geared up for exploring this asset. 

We start off with Cigar Rolls (stuffed with cottage and Gouda cheese) and a whole lot of mocktails. My recommendations would be Cranberry Mist, Golden Apple Martini, Peach Kiss, Kokam Fizz, the highlight being Gola with Alcohol. Burgers, Chick Pea Burger for vegetarian me and Nasty Burger (double meat patty) for my friends is polished off in minutes. The Roast Chicken (baked in a special combi oven) and golden, battered Fish n Chips served with an array of beer lives up to the authentic British flavour. 






A mirthful meal is complete only after sumptuous dessert. My selects from the in-house dessert choices are the Sticky Pudding and Toffee Caramel Sauce, traditional Apple Charlotte (my personal favourite) and the Hot Chocolate Fondant.



British Brewing Company (BBC) at 4th floor, Palladium, High Street Phoenix, Lower Parel ticks a few boxes: Thematic ambience, Good food (classical British as well as multi cuisine), Great playlist and an Eclectic bar with a wide range of beer and innovative cocktails. If you like fun, food and drinks, BBC is a treat to explore. If you are like me and London is your favourite place in the world then it's a must do! Now that saves quite a bit of airfare, doesn't it? Just kidding!

  1. Very nicely illustrated I must say. The authentic British ambience of BBC is very well described both in words and pictures. The menu on choice and the recommendations make sure the readers get a tickle on their tongues and craving in their bellies. A nice post for all those people of our kind who are much in love with the city of London and particularly its food and drinks specialities.
