With its bold British menu and drinks list as long as the arm of the law, The Establishment is just the relaxing escape needed from ‘life on Mars’.

The brand new bar and restaurant in Parsons Green beams retro elegance, kicking up comforting childhood memories of classic British police dramas and 70’s gangster films, thanks to Ford Cortina Ghia inspired banquette seating, glamorous Foscarini glass chandeliers, nifty modern art and a chocolate colour scheme.

For supper or weekday lunches, seasonal starters include braised rabbit with peas and Jerusalem artichoke puree or scallops with smoked gammon and hazelnut vinaigrette. Hearty main courses feature Loin of Royal Windsor venison with spiced red cabbage and celeriac gratin or hot pot of monkfish and Shetland Isle mussels with hand cut chips, whilst decadent desserts consist of chocolate pot with black cherries and cream or vanilla yoghurt with rhubarb and lemon shortbread.

If you’re seeking something to sort out the morning-after-the-night-before, delicious brunch dishes include eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on sour dough; Buster’s plantation bacon butty or a Full English. One step further, traditional Sunday lunches feature shoulder of Lanarkshire Lamb with wilted greens, celeriac gratin and roasting juices or roast sirloin of prime Aberdeen Angus beef with Yorkshire pudding, carrot puree and horseradish cream.
