Sustainably Scrumptious: The Churchill Bar & Terrace

After the summer we’ve had, it’s hard to deny the ever-looming discussion of global warming and the ways we can make strides to lessen our impact. Everyone is doing their part such as recycling, reducing waste, and lowering their energy consumption. But have you ever taken a step back and thought about what your favourite bars and restaurants are doing? This is what we love about The Churchill Bar and Terrace’s new sustainability-focused cocktail menu.

Located inside the luxurious Hyatt Regency London, but not without its own entrance right on Portman Square, The Churchill Bar & Terrace offers bar bites, craft cocktails, and hand-picked cigars (to be enjoyed on the terrace of course). This bar is pure class, with brilliant service and passionate bar tenders. We spent the evening sipping cocktails and chatting to Simon (one of the mixologists). You can hear while he explains each cocktail, and with each of our questions he answers that he loves the art of mixology. 

The new sustainably focused cocktail menu aims to enlighten and educate those that choose these tipples and was made with 11 different environmental causes in mind including wildlife support, bee care, and waste reduction to name a few. With each cocktail ordered, a donation is also made toward various conservation charities. Our top recommendation would be the Be Hive cocktail. Served in a beautiful handmade beeswax cup, the cocktail features South African Inverroche gin and hibiscus mead to create a smooth and sweet floral cocktail. For something slightly different, try the Green Lung cocktail. The reforestation inspired cocktail is bourbon based, and has wonderful vanilla and earthy notes. 

The end goal of this new menu is to serve a scrumptious cocktail while exploring how the bar industry can take those small steps towards a more sustainable footprint. Ordering from the sustainably focused menu immediately shows your own willingness to learn and begin your own journey towards an environmentally friendly way of living. There is something for everyone and it’s all for a good cause. Recycled ingredients litter the menu (in a good way!). Deep consideration has gone into every portion of this project: from drinking vessel to the edible components. Truly a menu to experience! By supporting The Churchill Bar & Terrace’s mission for a more sustainable bar industry, you are indeed making a direct impact yourself. 

Churchill Bar and Terrace is ideal for: a drinks experience. For people who love the art behind the drink in their hand.
