Warm whiskey & ginger cocktails on arrival, tartan blankets to place over cold legs and a menu of haggis, smoked coley, savoury porridge, venison Wellington & an incredible dark chocolate mousse with home made shortbread and salted butterscotch sauce to finish. And not forgetting endless amounts of Monkey Shoulder whiskey.
I would definitely recommend Dram & Smoke to anyone looking for a dining experience, the food was lovingly home made and high quality and you weren't ripped off when you got in (whiskey cocktails were a mere £5). The only thing it lacked was the theatre that often comes with dining experiences (think Ginger Line & Mile High) but if you're more about the food & drink this is definitely worth a go.
Rumour has it there will be four projects in 2015, possibly starting with a burns night supper, so plenty of time to check it out.
Where? The one we went to was close to London Bridge station but the venues change with different events.
Do? Go in a group, the bigger the better. The room is set up like a wedding (not decor wise) so you'll be on a table with several people you don't know. With that the food is served on big sharing plates so if you're keen to carve the version make sure you sit by the bricks as this is where they rest the food!
The other thing to mention is it's a cash only bar, so take money.
And finally, if you're going to a Dram & Smoke event at a cooler time of year be sure to wear something warm enough, it was pretty nippy so the tartan blankets definitely acted as more than just decoration.
Don't? Go if you're a veggie, this is definitely not for you.
