Crazy Goose

I was very excited to check out @thecrazygoosepub , the newest addition to the @blackrock_restaurants portfolio, located on Boyces Street in the original @thecoalshed site

The Crazy Goose is a modern pub with dining done right serving British classics with a premium twist. The front offers relaxed pub vibes with drinks and elevated bar snacks, while the back and upstairs deliver a more refined dining experience with a full à la carte menu

The space is beautiful, casual yet elegant. We sat in the restaurant at the back and loved watching the pub come to life. Cocktails were spot on (Dirty Martini + Tommy’s Margarita), paired with bar snacks including maple glazed homemade bread, coronation devilled eggs, and Comté croquettes with pickled walnut ketchup. So delicious and a great start, especially the devilled eggs

Starters were oysters (natural & beer battered) and a Sussex lamb tartare with padrón peppers, tonnato, and Jerusalem artichoke crisps, this was absolutely incredible and one of my favourite dishes of the night. The highlight, though, was the slow cooked beef cheek & bone marrow pie for two, served with bone marrow mash, grilled brassicas, and triple cooked chips (for good measure!). Wow, it was rich, full of meat and completely elevated from any pub pie I had ever had, highly recommended!

Overall a great visit, we loved the atmosphere, fantastic food, and a perfect blend of pub energy with premium dining. Prices are higher than your average pub, but the quality makes it worth it. Even if you stop by for a pint, once you see the food you’ll be wanting to book in
