St. George’s Day at the pub

On 23rd April, The Albion in Islington will be hosting an authentically English St. George’s Day event. The pub, famed for its English country-garden and hearty, rustic fare will be serving a specially-created St George’s Day Menu, featuring iconic English favourites, such as Beef Wellington and St George's Mushrooms with Smoked Sandridge Bacon & Wild Garlic on Toast.

As a certified stamp of true Englishness, the St George’s mushrooms are widely thought to be a marker of spring in England, only in season from early March until the end of May. They have also been spotted growing in famous English locations such as Hyde Park, Newmarket Heath and Salisbury Plain, making them the perfect culinary choice for the St George’s Day reveler.

The Albion is a quintessentially English pub, right down to its name, which is actually the ancient Saxon name for England (literally, ‘white cliffs’). Surely there is no better place to celebrate St George’s Day this year!
