Tonight on Bar-Top Gears: James May Gin Some say, he once described a cocktail for forty-seven minutes. And, that he defeated a Yorkshire Pudding in single combat. All we know is, James May has made gin. The James Gin collection has arrived behind the bar, and it is every bit as wonderfully unconventional as you would expect from Captain Slow. London Drizzle is atmospheric, earthy, and unmistakably British. The American Mustard is sharp, punchy, and warming, proving that mustard belongs in more places than beside a sausage. And, the Asian Parsnip, celebrating both the homely character of that most English of root vegetables and the warming spices of the Indian subcontinent. Taking a curious turn to this little road test, these three unusual expressions, one pleasantly surprised bar team, and there is absolutely no need to wear a racing helmet. Take one for a test drive and decide which deserves pole position. | | Speaking of sausage... The Sausage Has Escaped the Kitchen. The Hawk & Griffin Cumberland Sausage is made from our own recipe in partnership with the sausage gurus at MeatCrafters. It is a proper British banger, created with the same care, flavour, and stubborn refusal to be subtle that you would expect from us. Now, for the first time, you can take ours home. Cook them for breakfast. Serve them with mash [don't forget the onion gravy] Put them on the grill. Build an unnecessarily magnificent sausage sandwich, not forgetting to add a dash of HG brown sauce, also available to purchase. What happens once they leave the pub is between you and the sausage. Available now at The Hawk & Griffin. | |
| | Our Pie of the Month The Pork & Orchard
There are many ways to welcome Autumn. You could buy a decorative wreath or maybe a candle smelling of pumpkin spice, but that's not very British. Or, you could celebrate the season and come enjoy our pie of the month. The Pork & Orchard Pie is always a house favourite, and we think this is one of our best. Tender pulled pork, simmered in Magners cider and tart Granny Smith apples. It's a pie, so of course it's wrapped in our house pastry crust. It's rich, savoury, and slightly sweet. This is September's engineering at its finest.
| Sports & Weekend
The Premier League is back, which means millions of sensible adults will once again spend their weekends furious about the position of someone else's team, or complaining vociferously about VAR decisions There will be questionable defending, astounding goals, expensive transfers, and plenty of action.
The second half of the Formula 1 season is underway. Can Lando win his second championship, or is Kimi Antonelli going to walk away with the trophy? Either way, we will bring you the races.
If it's British, competitive, and you like cheering at the telly, you've probably found a home here.
| Five Years, Thanks to You
As we continue to celebrate five years of the Hawk & Griffin, we want to pause and say something, without making a joke about it. Thank You. Thank you to the regulars who have made the pub part of their life, to the guests who have just found us, and to everyone who has joined us for pints, a pie, a match, a celebration, or simply a Happy Hour at the bar. You've filled these rooms with stories, laughter, friendship, and the kind of community we hoped to create when we first opened the doors. Five years would never have been possible without you. We are incredibly grateful that you continue to choose our little corner of Britain in Vienna. And we cannot wait to see what the next five years brings.
From all of us at The Hawk & Griffin, Thank you for being part of our pub. |
