The Hansom Menus

The Hansom offers a range of unique cocktails inspired by 18th and 19th century classics. The cocktail menu is thus comprised of two main sections: The Hansom Classics and The Hackney Classics. The Hansom Classics draw influence from the creation of the Hansom Cab when life was slower & more indulgent,whereas the Hackney classics from the Hackney (Black) Cab. The Hansom Classics incorporate 18th century drinking traditions, such as the Oxford Night Cap - the drinking norm of 18th century Oxford University, whereas The Hackney Classics are based on the 19th century mixed drinks revolution, serving lesser known classic drinks such as the Jack Rose (1927). A range of craft beers, ales and wines will also be offered.

Breakfast and weekend brunch in the Hansom is definitely a British affair for the modern diner. Perfect for the business persons or diners in a hurry. Concise yet delicious, this menu holds history at its heart, consisting of the likes of pikelets and jam, rarebits, bacon and sausage wrapped in yorkshire puddings, and housemade granola.

Lunch at The Hansom presents quick, healthy and convenient options. Including Hansom salads or classic sandwiches such as a 5* 'fish finger' bap or smoked Eel on thick sliced white. An array of childhood bisciuits, the iconics, such as the Jammie Dodger or Custard cream are offered as the perfect addition to the wide range of teas and coffees served.

The food story meets the drinks story as The Hansom dinner menu has been carefully designed to complement the bespoke cocktail offering.
