We travelled far and wide to unearth the most suitable wines to complement the menu at our Mediterranean restaurant in Leicester Square. We visited countless vineyards, met some fantastic growers, and tasted more wines than we care to admit. The result is a meticulously curated wine list that pays particular attention to France and Italy, in addition to a few favourites from across Europe and the rest of the world.

Cocktails

Wine is the natural drink to pair with food, which made us think: why can’t we do the same with cocktails? 

 Whitcomb’s Head Mixologist, Pierpaolo Schirru, has created a cocktail list that pairs with each stage of your dining experience, from the pre-dinner Arrivée to a digestif inspired by the classic Espresso Martini. But it wouldn’t be a Whitcomb’s cocktail without a nod to our obsession with wine, which is why every cocktail features an expression of grape, in some shape or form.

Raising the Bar

Pierpaolo Schirru, Head Mixologist

“Creating a cocktail menu is a little like writing a story. You have an overarching narrative, which is the brief and style of the bar. To immerse myself in the creation process, I spend time researching themes and flavours to fully understand the concept. When I’m ready to start testing and creating, I feel like each cocktail is a character that must play its part in completing the story we’re trying to tell. I’ve always been fascinated by how blending humble ingredients can create such magical flavours, and how using certain techniques can further enhance the experience for the person on the other end of the glass.”
