Quickly becoming a classic at The Barley Mow in Mayfair. Our take on the classic rarebit with just a little bit of decadence thrown in, with rich crab and a punchy Montgomery cheddar. Ideal with a pint at the bar!
4 Thick Sliced Sourdough
Crab Rarebit Mix – see below
Small bunch radish washed
Bunch Watercress, trimmed
1 Lemon cut into 4 wedges
Sea salt, black pepper and olive oil
Crab Rarebit Mix
50g unsalted butter
50g plain flour
200ml Amber Ale
200g Montgomery cheddar, grated
5ml Worcestershire Sauce
5g English Mustard
300g brown crab meat
1 bunch chives, chopped
Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the flour, stir and cook for a minute to make a roux. Add the ale and gently cook until it reduces to a thick sauce. Stir in the cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and brown crab meat and beat until the cheese is melted. Season.
Toast the sourdough on both sides.
Mix the chopped chives with the rarebit mix and spread the rarebit mix over the toast and cook under the grill until caramelised.
Slice the toast into 5/6 pieces and place the toast on a plate and garnish with a small bunch of watercress, a small pile of radish and a lemon wedge. drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper and serve.
This month, Cubitt House Drinks With Asterley Bros.
A little British ingenuity, plenty of patience and a great deal of good taste. Just how we like it.
From spiced wine to Amaro, Sweet Vermouth and a rather good Martini, we’re getting to know the wonderful world of @asterleybros
From a spiced wine base to their signature Amaro, Asterley Bros have mastered the art of British aperitifs. Their journey led to a beautifully crafted Sweet Vermouth, launched at Schofield’s, alongside a Dry Vermouth made for a rather good Martini.

The sound of a pint being poured. Possibly our favourite pub soundtrack.
A Very Cubitt Christmas.
From Mayfair to Notting Hill, our pubs are getting ready for the festive season. Christmas lunches, drinks with friends, office parties and private rooms for those who want the place to themselves.
Book your Christmas at Cubitt House.
Sundays are for feasting. Roasts with all the trimmings, generous jugs of gravy and a table full of people you’d happily spend the afternoon with.
A night in at The Princess Royal, followed by breakfast without leaving the building.
We can think of worse ways to spend a weekend in Notting Hill...
