It’s winter in Kolkata and time to savour the best of food and drinks!

Just a few more hours and we shall bid adieu to 2020—a year which witnessed a major upheaval as all human activities almost came to a standstill.  We went through a dark phase and hopefully it is coming to an end as we prepare to embrace 2021 with spirited fervour. Here’s a look at what Kolkata has on offer to ring in the New Year with hopes for a healthy and a happy new year.

The Lords and Barons is serving a few Chef's specials which are a must-try. Start with the Sunday Chicken Roast served with mashed potatoes, exotic vegetables and pepper sauce. Next sample their Smoky Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Sausages   with melting cheese, Dijon mustard, apple and cabbage slaw. The Grilled King Fish is truly delicious and is served with carrots, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and sautéed exotic vegetables with Mornay sauce.
