March at Magic Garden Pub and we’ve certainly got a “Spring” in our step! (Get it? OK. No more puns. Promise!) Not only have we launched our brand spanking new website – we’ve also lined up some pretty delectable dishes and nights out for this month.
Keep your eyes peeled for Superherojam with Terra Viva on the 6th – Superherojam really impressed all the staff at the last gig (think Pharrell Williams meets funky 80’s Prince, but with super hero outfits!) and Terra Viva are sure to deliver with their infectious fusion of gypsy, Italian folk, jazz and rock.
Another particularly exciting night coming up is Billy Rowan AKA the Undercover Hippy with Mama Kasbah and the Loki DJs on the 14th! Famous for their energetic shows at festivals all over Europe and the UK, the Undercover Hippy is set for stardom thanks to their catchy songs with hilarious and often politically-charged lyrics. Don’t miss this big Saturday night out with support from rumba, ska, reggae, balkan and Latin American group Mama Kasbah plus the mischievous Loki DJs on the decks after till the early hours! Careful to not overdo it though, as the next day is none other than Mother’s Day…
Mother’s Day is just before Paddy’s Day, this year falling on Sunday the 15th. We’ve got lunch covered thanks to head chef Nana – he’s sorted out a delicious and affordable menu of 2 courses for £19.50 or 3 courses for £23, featuring the best of our Sunday roasts (Cornish Lamb, 12 Hour Free Range Pork Belly, Scottish Rump Beef, etc) as well as some hearty veggie and fish options. Treat your Mum to a caramelised lemon tart or a sticky sticky toffee pudding – she deserves it after all those years of smelly socks and sulking!
Email us to make a booking at info@magicgardenpub.com, or give Keith a call Mon-Fri from 10am to 6pm on 0207 622 4844. He’ll sort out a lovely table in the restaurant or conservatory for you and Mummy. Boxcar Joe Strouzer will be playing the Sunday blues from 8pm if you fancy hanging out with us after your slap-up meal.
Next up it’s St. Patrick’s Day, the day on which we celebrate Saint Pat and general Irishness with music, booze and general “craic”, on Tuesday the 17th of March. When the owner of the pub is Irish, you know we’re gonna be doing it right. The Guinness will be flowing all day, complemented by the authentic Irish menu that our chef has organised for the occasion. Like your oysters cold with a Tabasco/shallot vinaigrette? Or hot with a creamy Guinness sauce? As a prequel to tucking into our fancy Bacon and Cabbage (Ham Hock with Crispy Champ) or Irish Stew of course…
Our plans to fly in Shane MacGowan for the day were sadly vetoed, however we’ve managed to snag the amazingly sultry and husky-voiced Alice Phelps for the evening! Alice plays harp with a full band, keeping it nice and folky, yet with forays into more modern territory that sets her apart from the rest. Come and enjoy a twist on the traditional, with Alice playing from about 8pm.
This is just a snippet of the events that we have on every month – with up to five nights of music a week (and most of them free entry) there’s something for everyone at the Magic Garden this March. Take a look at our events page for full info and come visit soon!
