The English Pub Experience @ Churchill's Resto-Bar | JP Nagar | Bangalore

With the increasing number of F&B establishments all
around it is getting more difficult by the day to spot unique names. With that
said, our recent visit was by invite to a bloggers tasting at a newly opened
Resto-Bar in JP Nagar, Bangalore named Churchill’s!
The pubbing concept first originated in England and this
impressive Resto-Bar tries to pay tribute to the one and only Winston
Churchill, one of the greatest English Prime Ministers of all time.
A few words about the place: The interiors are classic with
plenty of ambient light and woody finishes all around. It does not have air
conditioning yet and ventilation is totally on ceiling fans and Mother Nature.
The walls all around have original quotes from the man himself.
Now about the food: A very well planned spread yields
expected results and in this case this meet was very well organized. The best part
being we ate after photographs were taken so no interruptions while eating!
There were plenty of starters for non-vegetarians and only a
few for vegetarians. So we will speak about the highlights only.

The Egg on Nest was pretty interesting for those who love
eggs. In place of the yolk there was a sweet mayo filling and it tasted great but
there was nothing outstanding about it.
The Paneer on Fire is a highly recommended dish if you are
into paneer. The paneer is well done and soft and spicy. It tastes very
difficult and a big thumbs up!
The Hara Bhara Kebab was excellent. It was crispy on the
outside and soft on the inside. The stuffing was hot & spicy and it can be
coined as a perfect snack.
The Butter Garlic Mushrooms were the best they can be. By character
mushrooms do not suck in flavours but they just remain on top. The quantity was
very impressive.
The Crispy Chicken Tenders were too thin. There were many in
number but too much of crumb and too little chicken in each bite—not worth it.
Peri Peri Chicken Wings? Oh yes! This was a marvel and was
done to perfection. It was spicy and the chicken literally fell off the bones.
Perfect pairing with beer!
The Nagamese King Chilly Pork was another amazing
preparation. It was not as spicy as expected but tasted brilliant. The pieces
contained fat and meat unlike in other cases where it is totally fat.
They served 3 variants of Tandoori Chicken: Cheese, Hariyali
and the Classic variant. The chicken was perfectly cooked and tender. All the 3
were spicy but the best part was that they were balanced. The Cheese variant tasted
weird at first but it is something to slowly get used to.

They have an array of colourful cocktails but we ended up on
the dry road and had the Blue Lagoon and a Mango mocktail. One suggestion to
them would be to improve on their consistency.
The main course was not as colourful as the starters were
but some items deserve a try and a retry.
Their Alfredo
Pasta was well done. The sauce had good consistency and the quantity of toppings was sufficient.
The Copacabana Pizza deserves a special mention. The balance
of the herbs, cheese and pork chunks were amazing and this topped the pizza
charts for sure.
The English Fish & Chips was as expected. The presentation
on the bed of fries looked appealing. No extra oil and the all mighty combo of
tartar sauce and good fried fish always wins!
The Jolly Good Mix Grill was a combination of grilled lamb
and chicken. The highlight of this was the lip smacking sauce.
Lastly, the Special Irish Swiss Roll Chicken was the dish of
the tasting (sort of man of the match!). Excellent presentation and the taste
was even better. It is sort of like a crepe with loads of chicken and baked
with cheese. It is sinful but worth every bite!

That’s all from this tasting session. There were plenty of
items and some of which we have intentionally left out as it is not possible to
talk about everything and they lacked the special zing. Not that they tasted
bad but if a Lemon & Coriander Chicken tastes excellent with the flavours
of lemon & coriander there is nothing much to stress on ;)
From our side, we believe that this is definitely a good place
to hang out with colleagues and friends. They serve good food, play good music
and have a classy ambiance.
They are new on the block and still working on adding desserts to their menu so nothing for your sweet tooth yet.
The entire place is smoker friendly so if you can’t tolerate
smoke: reconsider.
We’ll be back soon with another tasty foodventure.
Till then—keep rocking and bon apetit!
