The Alfred Tennyson’s Bramley Apple Pie with Caramel and Roasted Almond Ice Cream is new to the menu this Autumn and this bowl of comforting, warming apple pie is sure to cheer up any winters day. A creation from our Executive Pastry Chef, Neradah Hartnett. The Caramel Sauce and Almond Ice Cream, although tricky, make this pie pretty special.

Puff Pastry

Apple Compote
Combine the ingredients well in a roasting dish, cover and bake at 180C for 20 mins and then stir. It may need another 10 mins. Cook until just tender, it can appear slightly undercooked. Chill the compote.
Sea Salt Caramel Sauce
Bring the cream to the boil. Make direct caramel with the sugar, vanilla and glucose. Retard the caramel with the hot cream. Add the sea salt. Boil to make sure all sugar is dissolved, and pass.
Assembly
Place half a cup of apple compote in the centre of the pastry, fold pleats in a circle and pinch the centre together. Brush the pie with sugar and dip the top of the pie in caster sugar.
Place pies with space between them on trays in the oven, bake at 200C for 20 mins.
Almond ice cream
Blend chopped almonds into the vanilla ice cream base before passing through the chinoise (see below).
Vanilla ice cream base mix
Beat yolks with most of the sugar until thick and pale
Heat milk, glucose and cream. Then mix the stabiliser with a little sugar and rain into the cream while whisking. Heat until almost boiling. Pour over the yolks then return to heat until 78C.
Pass through a fine chinoise
Cool down and churn in the ice cream machine
Final assembly
Take the pies out of the oven and let cool slightly. Then spoon over the ice cream and caramel sauce and serve.
The first Thursday of the month at The Builder’s Arms now means one thing: Steak Night. Our new monthly tradition features a full menu with a 38-day aged Cote De Boeuf for two, Cubitt House Chianti in your glass and Chelsea outside the door.
Extra, extra — this year’s olive oil is in. Hand-picked in Tuscany, pressed within hours and now pouring at your local Cubitt House pub. Used across our seasonal dishes and available to buy in-house, it’s well worth a taste.
We’re thrilled to be back at the @alfreddunhillpadelclassic for a second year with a Mediterranean-inspired menu cooked over an open fire. Think Grilled Prawns, Lamb Chops with Salsa Verde and more, all served up by @ben.tish and the Cubitt House team.
Proud to be part of a world-class padel tournament that champions great food, great sport and a great cause, supporting Laureus Sport for Good at the Hurlingham Club.

The forecast? Sticky toffee, all year round. Some dishes are seasonal. For us this one’s just essential.
This one’s a postcard from Sicily. Grilled tuna, courgettes, lemon and coriander seeds.
Simple, seasonal and smoky from the grill. Inspired by spring on the island of Favignana.
