Spring Dining at Blue Boar Pub: A Fresh Take on British Classics in Westminster
Tucked in the heart of Westminster and just moments from St James’s Park (4 mins), Westminster Abbey (3 mins walk) and the Palace of Westminster (8 mins walk), Blue Boar Pub is a true local gem. A place where locals mingle with visitors, politicians rub shoulders with creatives, and the food anchors it all. Set within the historic former home of the Brewers’ Society, Blue Boar has long been known as a cornerstone of the gastropub scene in Westminster, a place where conversation flows freely and the menu never stands still.
This spring, Blue Boar invites you to discover a new seasonal menu, one that brings a bloom of new flavours to beloved British pub classics. Whether you’re heading in for a mid-week working lunch, a hearty dinner with friends, or a laid-back Sunday roast, all in the heart of Westminster, Blue Boar is the perfect option.
Blue Boar’s New Menu: British Classics, Refined
Behind the new dishes is a continued commitment to sourcing from the best. Blue Boar prides itself on its relationship with some of the best local suppliers, allowing it to source top-tier produce, and deliver a commitment to quality in every plate.
To start your meal, dive into mussels cooked in Sussex cider, served with crème fraîche, parsley and crusty bread. Spring’s arrival is also celebrated with grilled asparagus, old Winchester cheese and a soft-poached egg, served with a moreish pickled walnut ketchup. For something rich and bold, roasted bone marrow on sourdough is paired with pickled anchovies, fresh parsley and chives.
Mains include a beautifully cooked seared sea trout, served with pancetta-crusted endive, new season tomatoes and English pecorino. A goat’s cheese and onion tart with watercress and chicory salad offers a vibrant vegetarian option, while the roast corn fed chicken with whipped potatoes and a tarragon, mushroom and green peppercorn sauce delivers on comfort and depth of flavour.
Whether you’re a Westminster regular or discovering Blue Boar for the first time, this new menu offers a timely reminder of why British pub dining continues to charm.
Classic British Desserts Done Right
Finish your meal with a sweet nod to tradition. The new menu brings treacle tart with clotted cream ice cream and rhubarb and custard trifle, nostalgic options for finishing your meal. And yes the sticky toffee pudding, a signature dessert much loved by our guests, isn’t going anywhere.
