Diet & Food

For those of us who are more into a lock-in than a lockdown, the Bloomsbury‘s Executive Head Chef, Byron Moussouris, has revealed his baking recipe for his famous Guinness bread – perfect for anyone who loves a pint in the local pub. Famous to all those who know and love The Doyle Collection hotels, their homemade Guinness Bread is a staple on the menu at all restaurants across all the properties and is a nod to the collection’s proud Irish heritage. Served as a side or a light bite, this deliciously moorish bread has almost a cake-like texture and can be enjoyed as it is, or accompanied by smoked salmon for breakfast, or with Dorset crab and apple and mayonnaise as a quick bite over lunch.
