The Park Tower Knightsbridge is
celebrating the hunting season with
a mouth-watering Game Menu in its cosy
Hyde Bar from this autumn.With a variety
of British game on offer, dishes on the menu
will be paired with a range of Dalmore
whiskies, enriching the flavours of the meat
with the intense aromatic spices of the
spirits. The Game Menu has been devised
by the hotel’s acclaimed Executive Head
Chef, Pascal Proyart who is best known
for his sublime fish and seafood creations.
He is also a keen hunter with a passionate
belief in the benefits of following food from
its origins on the land or in the water, to
enjoying it on the plate.
The menu will be refreshed weekly or
monthly to reflect the changing seasons and
the availability of different types of game. It
will also run alongside the existing brasserie-
style menu in The Hyde Bar with three or
four dishes always available. Exquisite game
dishes will include Roasted Mallard Duck
Breast with Confit Leg, Parsnips, Green

Cabbage and Walnut; and Braised Hare

To accompany the dishes, there is a selection
of Dalmore whiskies hand-selected by Hyde
Bar Manager Victor Durbaca to choose
from such as the Dalmore 12 year old, The
Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve and the King
Alexander III. The whiskies are selected
for their rich flavour and aroma with hints
of autumnal fruits, such as red berries and
plums,and aromatic winter spices to provide
the perfect balance to the rich, meaty game
dishes. The Game Menu at the Hyde Bar
will be available fromTuesday 14th October
