Guinness fans, take note! The world’s first food hall dedicated to the iconic stout is soon to open.
Fans can tuck into a range of stout-infused treats, from Guinness-marinated beef lasagna, burgers with stout-caramelised onions, and even Guinness soft-serve ice cream.
The exclusive Guinness-themed menu is being launched at Market Place Food Hall Leicester Square in London this month in celebration of St Patrick’s Day, which falls on 17 March each year.
The ‘Guinness Grub’ will be available for one week only, from 16 to 20 March, where diners can feast on limited-edition offerings with bold flavours.
Fans can expect a lineup of savoury and sweet dishes, including Irish takeaway staples, indulgent desserts, sweet treats, and hot beverages infused with the famous brew – perfect to line the stomach before splitting the Paddy’s Day G.
Duck Shed’s Irish Duck Spice Bag (£14.95) is a top-tier choice for fans of this Irish classic, which typically features battered or breaded chicken strips.
Often cited as Ireland’s favourite takeaway dish, the elevated portion includes crispy breaded duck strips, chips, onions and peppers, tossed in traditional chilli and five-spice seasoning, served with a rich Guinness-infused curry sauce.
Mister Lasagna will also be serving up a Guinness Genovese Lasagna, with half a portion costing £8.50, a full portion £12, and a trio of flavours costing £1 extra.
The hearty dish features beef marinated in Guinness, with the stout also used to create a deeply flavoured ragu from Mister Lasagna.
For those after a true feast before hitting the town, Cheeky Burger presents a Don Paddy Guinness Burger (£13) and Guinness Animal Fries (£7).
The mammoth burger consists of a juicy beef patty topped with raclette cheese, caramelised Guinness onions, rocket salad, signature Guinness sauce and crispy onion on top (also available on fries ‘animal style’).
As for dessert, Crumble Mania offers its Guinness Crumble (Regular £7.95 or Large £10.95).
The warming pudding features 0.0 per cent Guinness-infused jam compote topped with a delicious biscuity crumble, served hot with a creamy custard.
