The Hour Glass (South Kensington)

• The Hour Glass was refurbished and reopened as a pub and dining room a few months ago by Dave Turcan and Luke Mackay
• The ground floor pub is a traditional boozer a nice place for a pint and a bar snack
• Though the beer selection is behind the times
• Though an Uber was required to get me to my next destination in time
• Wood pigeon with pickled quince
• Black pudding and toasted hazelnuts was a quartet of our favourite foods
• Potted Rabbit with Bacon Butter
• By the time my Flat iron steak with dripping chips
• This was a first for them as they are more likely to order two puddings each than admit to being beaten
• The other two puds on offer were buttermilk pudding
• Porter cake with cornflake ice cream and honeycomb
• The Hour Glass is a British pub located in Kensington
• The Hour Glass is much more than your average pub
• My friend and I wanted to try some modern British food with a great beer selection
• The menu is the perfect length with frequent changes based on the season and what the chef finds at the local market
• The pork scratchings with mustard was the perfect snack to go with our beers
• We then shared a plate of grilled duck gizzard with spring onion and salsa verde that was a flavourful sensation
• The green beans with roast shallots and rocket was a wonderful way to highlight the fresh produce
• My braised rabbit with white beans
• Bacon and cavolo nero was unlike any rabbit dish I have had before
• My friend ordered the Guinea fowl with rainbow chard an roast carrots and he said it was an absolute pleasure
• Can't end a meal without dessert and there is a great selection to choose from at The Hour Glass
• The chocolate hazelnut brownie with salted toffee was a sweet taste unlike any other
• The dessert that really excited my taste buds however was brioche bread pudding with blackberries and whipped cream
