Discover Perfect Pairings for Spring with pub food at Chef & Brewer
Ready to please your palate with a fresh spring menu? The season not only brings the promise of longer days and the warmth of the sun, but is also a time for outdoor dining and culinary creations crafted from deliciously fresh produce.
At Chef & Brewer, our chefs work hard to deliver plates to please from our pub restaurant food menu, including British tasty classics, seasonal additions and tempting desserts. Our spring dishes tease the taste buds from first bite to the last, with rich flavours that linger on your palate.
Our bar is also fully stocked with tasty tipples, while our staff are ready to serve. But we believe that a good drink can do more than quench your thirst. A plate paired with the perfect sip can bring the flavours to life, working in harmony to create a true taste sensation.
We know everyone has their preferences, but at Chef & Brewer, we believe some spring menu flavour pairings are simply too good not to celebrate.
Discover the joy of spring at Chef & Brewer
We think our collection of pubs works perfectly for all seasons, but when it comes to a celebration of the British countryside, there’s something so special about spring time. After months of dark days and cold weather, it’s a time when nature comes back to life. The sunshine fills the skies for longer, the blossoms burst into colour, and lush greenery returns to the trees and rolling hills.
Enjoy our charming locations
Our pubs are nestled within some of the most scenic spots, with unspoilt views on the doorstep. On warmer days, soak up the sunshine in one of our beer gardens, enjoying delicious spring pairings with the bonus of fresh air and the calming sound of birdsong.
Many of our outdoor spaces are also equipped with heaters and cover for when the British spring takes a turn for the worse, while our interior dining areas offer a cosy charm that helps you feel right at home.
The countryside offers endless opportunities for exploring, from winding country lanes to steep hillsides or rugged coastlines. Whether you get your steps in ahead of your meal or prefer to stretch your legs once you’ve polished off your plate, Chef & Brewer has plenty of routes to discover. We’ve even teamed up with AllTrails so you can find a perfect pub for your next walk.
Be tempted by our food menus
Our breakfast menu offerings are a great way to start your day, while our lunch menu and evening menu have been designed to deliver great food and a wide range designed to please everyone. Best of all, you get the pleasure of exceptional dining without the burden of cooking.
Be sure to stop by a Chef & Brewer pub for a Sunday roast, with our menus offering a wide range for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans.
You can also quench your thirst with a tipple from our drinks menu, whether you're partial to a pint, a crisp wine, a cocktail or an ale. If you're not drinking, we've got plenty of alcohol-free options for sober sips.
Turn your visit into an overnight stay
Our pubs feel like a home away from home, so when the evening draws to a close, why not spend the night?
At Chef & Brewer, we’ve got plenty of pubs with accommodation, so you can turn your visit into an overnight escape. Tuck into a delicious spring dinner paired with the perfect drink, before retiring to your bed just steps away. Wake up to scenic views from your window and a hearty breakfast when you’re ready to rise.
Our pick for spring food pairings
Crispy Squid with a Sauvignon Blanc
A plate of Crispy Squid is a perfect starter, tantalising your taste buds with delicate flavour and a delightful crunch. Seafood always pairs beautifully with a glass of white wine, and Sauvignon Blanc has citrusy, sharp notes that can cut through the fried batter. The Punto de Vista comes from Chile and has aromas of grapefruit and lime. You can get it by the bottle for £21 or by the glass for as little as £5.45.
Baked British Cheese Sharer with a Pale Ale
There is something so comforting about connecting over a plate of food, and a grazing board is the perfect way to turn a simple dish into a shared experience. Our Baked Cheese Sharer is a real springtime treat, and features creamy Cricket St. Thomas Camembert with an array of tempting accompaniments. The buttery texture is delicious with a pale ale, as the fresh flavours cut through the richness.
Duo of Chicken with a Pinot Noir
When it comes to delicious dishes, our Duo of Chicken is a truly mouthwatering main. It brings together tender chicken breast and crispy chicken strips, glazed in a sweet and sticky Korean barbecue sauce. It’s served with fragrant basmati and wild rice, as well as tangy kimchi, fresh cucumber, and a sprinkle of chilli and coriander. Balance the heat of the chicken with a Pinot Noir, which is a fruity red that really makes those smoky BBQ notes sing. Our Pinot from Burgundy in France is rich in flavour and priced at £25.50 per bottle.
Roasted Vegetable Tart with a Prosecco
Our Roasted Vegetable Tart is a vegan delight that’s bursting with flavour. A crisp pastry filled with roasted garden vegetables and mixed seeds, served alongside roasted new potatoes and a fresh spring salad. Pair it with a glass of Prosecco, whose delicate fruitiness beautifully elevates the tart’s earthy flavours. Our Italian offering has subtle hints of citrus and ripe fruits, available at £6.10 per glass or £23.50 per bottle.
Triple Chocolate Brownie with a Malbec
If chocolate is your dessert of choice, our triple chocolate brownie is one of those sweet treats that's sure to delight. Rich, creamy, and wonderfully decadent, it’s a true indulgence from the very first bite to the last. Elevate the brownie’s deep cocoa flavours with a glass of red wine, such as a Malbec, which has a velvety texture and a gentle spice for the perfect depth of flavour. The El Picante hails from Argentina and has notes of vanilla, plum, and blackberry. Get a glass for £5.75 or pay £22.50 for the whole bottle.
Roasted Vegetable Grain Salad with a Mojito
The warmer weather can have us craving something crisp and fresh, like a salad packed with goodness. Our Roasted Vegetable Grain Salad is a blend of lentil and quinoa grain with roasted beetroot, red onion, butternut squash, tomato, and cucumber ribbons, finished with a drizzle of lemon and parsley oil. And when the spring sunshine calls for cocktails, a Mojito is a cooling palate cleanser crafted with fresh mint and lime.
