Champagne house Krug has teamed up with a gourmet London pub to offer the magnificent combination of Champagne and Fish & Chips.
I was first introduced to the phenomenon of Fizz and Chips when I worked at The Wine Society. Invited to an impromptu lunch with the Society’s wine buyers I was taken aback to see a box full of fish and chips portions arrive in the tasting room just as champagne corks were being popped to the left and right of me. Twenty minutes later I had indeed experienced the perfect food and wine match. Nothing beats it.
The ‘Thank Krug It’s Friday’ initiative will run at The Punch Bowl in Mayfair throughout the summer and the offer consists of a half bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée with two gourmet Fish & Chips meals. This ain’t no ordinary meal deal folks – put Mayfair, Gourmet Pub and Krug in the luxury pricing model and you get your experience for a whopping £75.
The price may not be for everybody but it is for me. I’ll be there on the 16th July for all those who want to join me.
