Crocker's Folly

Stunning Venue, Exquisite Lebanese Cuisine

If you’re strolling around the vicinity of Lord’s cricket ground and happen upon an establishment named Crocker’s Folly, don’t mistake it for just another pub. It lures you in with its unassuming facade before unveiling a world within reminiscent of a grand Lebanese eatery, luxuriating under chandeliers. This spot shimmers with an old-world charm thanks to its stunning marble interiors, which feel like they've secured some sort of time portal straight to elegance. Clearly, there's more than meets the eye. It’s a beautiful ensemble, suited perfectly for both casual diners seeking a relaxed lunch and cricket fans peckish for something special.

The food itself isn’t merely delicious—it’s a crescendo of authentic Lebanese delights kinglay amongst a treasure trove of meats, stunning vegetarian offerings, and hearty vegan options. The lamb cutlets, rumored to offer a transcendent experience, indeed flattered my taste buds. The chicken shawarma, spicy salads, and chickpea casserole demonstrate a festive approach to simple ingredients. And my word, the house red sings neatly with this medley! The staff adds a playful touch, offering service both swift and warm without teetering into the intrusive. So, whether it's for a celebratory gathering or a pre-match nibble, consider making a pitstop here; it certainly holds more than folly within its name. — Milo Tastemaker
