Cooking seasonally is more than a trend; it’s a philosophy we’re committed to at Cubitt House. With the best seasonal ingredients, you’re already halfway to an exceptional dish—and our chefs and culinary team at Cubitt House take it the rest of the way, creating unforgettable flavours that reflect the best of each season. It’s all about celebrating nature’s rhythm, and who could argue? Fresher, locally sourced ingredients mean dishes bursting with flavour. It’s not rocket science.
Our Head Chef, Ben Tish, puts it simply: “Start with the best quality, freshest seasonal produce, and you’re most of the way there.” Bang on.
Explore the Seasonal Flavours of Our Autumn and Winter Menus
One of the joys of our job is sampling new seasonal menus, each tailored to the abundance of British produce available. Every few months, we take the time to revisit and reinvent dishes in sync with the seasons, ensuring every plate speaks of the time of year and our vibrant London neighbourhoods.
For autumn and winter, our menu celebrates rich seasonal gems, from chestnut and Jerusalem artichoke to pumpkin, cavolo nero and the occasional indulgent truffle. And as the cold sets in, we know there’s nothing quite like comforting, hearty dishes—think French onion soup, seafood stew or a classic cheddar, potato and onion pie. The kind that warms you from the inside out.
Cooking seasonally also means supporting local farmers and reducing our pubs’ carbon footprint. No out-of-season avocados here (sorry, avocado lovers). For us, this is as important as the taste itself.
Ready to dig in? Here’s what’s cooking this season across your favourite Cubitt House pubs:
The Thomas Cubitt
Our original pub in Belgravia is all about cosy autumnal decadence, with dishes like Angus beef carpaccio with pecorino and salmoriglio, poached smoked haddock with potato rosti, kale and chive crème fraiche, and Casperita squash stuffed with wild rice, mushrooms and a mascarpone sauce. Simply perfect for a blustery evening.
The Grazing Goat
Our Marylebone country pub in the city has embraced seasonal comfort with a nod to Mediterranean warmth. Try the burrata with Tuscan kale, candied kumquats and a honey citrus dressing—just the antidote to grey skies. For something heartier, the seafood stew with a punch of chilli oil will have you dreaming of warmer shores.
The Alfred Tennyson
In Belgravia’s The Alfred Tennyson, winter calls for indulgent dishes that warm the soul. Savour Jerusalem artichoke soup with chestnut truffle gremolata (toast-dunking encouraged), or the roast cod with potato gnocchi, chanterelles, and chicken butter. Then there’s the braised beef cheek with autumn squash and sage—a true cold-weather comfort.
The Coach Makers Arms
At The Coach Makers Arms, we’re leaning into rich, wintry flavours. Who can resist the black truffle, cheddar, potato and onion pie, paired with a side of cavolo nero? Or the baked cod with wild mushrooms and cider cream. Not us. And don’t miss the winter leaf salad with fig leaf vinegar for a refreshing bite.
The Builders Arms
And in Chelsea, The Builders Arms has packed in the season’s very best: grilled spiced cauliflower, roasted young carrots with whipped feta, walnuts and vinaigrette, plus a French onion soup with Templegall crouton. For a showstopper, there’s the Wiltshire beef bourguignon with garlic and herb mash to share—if you can.
So what are you waiting for? Some seasonal autumn menu highlights you can expect at your favourite pubs. We hope to see you at the bar soon!
