When, last week, we were voted as Best Local Restaurant in the Time & Leisure Food and Drink Awards we said that we wanted to use this as a spur to deliver all the developments we have in the pipeline. So, this week we were delighted to unveil our new cocktail list – come and try it out this weekend.

Below is a little list of what’s going down over the weekend and coming up…

  • We have a lot of bookings this weekend, so if you want a table for dinner then it’s probably best to book in early – and take advantage of some extra value; reserve a table between 6 & 7pm and you can claim 2 courses for £20 and a free glass of wine.
  • We also have another little offer for you; we recently launched the Sunday Night Saver - get any of our burgers or sandwiches for a tenner.
  • When you pop in during the evening, you need to indulge in our dedicated chip menu - the chilli cheese chips are the staff favourite.
  • You should definitely get involved in our new cocktail menu – give the Bacon Bourbon Old Fashioned a go, it’s pretty epic.
  • Happy Hour - join us for good times and cheaper drinkies from 5-7pm daily.
  • Yikes, it’s time to think about booking your Christmas party. We’ve just launched our Christmas menus, click here to check them out. We’re doing a set Christmas Lunch menu for £15 per person.
  • We run SW London’s busiest and best brunch, starting at 9am each day.
  • Come and check out the new brunch menu, we’ve added French Toast, Huveos Rancheros and a Smoked Salmon Bagel amongst other things.
  • Reckon you’re a bit crafty? You should come to the Crafty Pint workshop on the 8th October – design and keep your own Tote bag.
  • On the crafty front, check out the Colporter pop-up - leave the Canteen with a full tum and some awesome pieces for your home.
  • Oh, you should also check out our new bar snack, beef jerky from Billy Franks. The cheeseburger flavour is awesome as is the BBQ and the Holy Fuck Sauce (from The Rib Man) flavour.

Ben's Canteen, Best Local Restaurant 2012

New Cocktails at Ben’s Canteen

For a long time now we’ve wanted to grow the humble cocktail list at Ben’s Canteen. Having just won Best Local Restaurant (in the Time & Leisure Food and Drinks Awards) we decided that this was the time.

Cocktails at Ben's CanteenWe’ve put together a mix of classics and given them a little twist – the Bacon Bourbon Old Fashioned (we got the recipe from our friend, Adam Layton, who runs a food blog called Noshable) is a great example of this. We infuse the bourbon with bacon and then add honey and orange – oh and bacon salt. It’s a ripper and rumour has it that it will be featured in GQ later in the year.

At the moment we’re quite inspired by Spain, so we’ve put our take on a Rebujito on the menu – it’s Sherry (Fino), Elderflower, Mint & Soda – and it’s a little reminder of summer. The London Ruin (Hoxton Gin, Cointreau & Homemade Lemonade) is proving very popular and the staff are big fans of the Vanilla & Chilli Caprioska (Vodka, Vanilla, Sugar, Lime & Chilli).

So, next time you’re up on the hill, do drop into the Canteen and let us know what you think of the new list. Oh, and by the way, we can still make the classic cocktails for you on request and do remember that on Tuesdays we do 2-4-1 cocktails.
