Dorothy and Marshall Bromley brand-new menu: Review

Dorothy and Marshall opened in the former courtroom of Bromley’s Old Town Hall earlier last year and since then it has been a popular dining spot.

Earlier last month, the restaurant announced the launch of a new menu under the management of Cristina Keemer, along with live music performances every Thursday evening.

The new menu incorporates some of the restaurant’s staples like the Beef Burger served with applewood cheese relish, as well as the Hereford Steak and Chips.

But alongside that there are many new additions to the menu like the Gressingham Duck Terrine and Mushroom Ravioli.

The cocktail menu has also kept many of its signature specials from when I last visited, including a selection of Bromley-themed cocktails like the Old Town Bellini, and the Rebel Rebel inspired by local musician David Bowie.

Like last time, I went for my favourite cocktail – The Kipps, inspired by Bromley author H. G Wells, with a sweet mix of chamomile, lemon juice, prosecco and vodka.

But they also do a selection of classics like the Old Fashioned, Negroni and Margarita, with prices starting from £6.60, if you fancy something more classic.

The menu is relatively small, fitting on just one page, however in my experience this is usually an indication of quality.

For starters we got the duck terrine, pickled mushrooms and onion jam served with sourdough bread, as well as the cured salmon with blinis and Avruga caviar.

Both had a nice range of flavours and the salmon blinis went really well with the lemon sauce it came with.

For mains, we opted to try the Hereford steak and chips, which came with salad and horseradish bearnaise, as well as the mushroom ravioli served with mushroom and leek fricassee shallots and a crunchy sourdough crumb.

The ravioli was honestly a standout dish from this menu and I’d return simply to eat this, the dish had so much flavour and a good range of textures with the crunch from the sourdough.

Their selection of desserts also championed British classics like the sticky toffee pudding, apple crumble and chocolate brownie.

We went with the sticky toffee pudding, that came served with a butterscotch sauce and clotted cream ice cream, as well as the chocolate brownie, served with vanilla ice cream and a rich muscovado chocolate sauce.

Both were really good, the sticky toffee pudding was rich and warm and was definitely the ultimate autumnal dessert, whilst the brownie was decadent with sauce.

With its beautiful interiors and relaxed atmosphere, this is definitely a good spot to visit in Bromley for dinner.
