Kenilworth’s Nostalgic Gateway called The Big Ben

Kolkata is one of those cities in India which has a marked British influence on its lifestyle. From buildings sporting designs belonging to the pre-Independence era to a multitude of services that are simply nostalgic about the past, the British vibes can be strongly felt in the city. This proves that the city like all other major cities in India still leaves a marked influence of Victorian grandeur.

The hospitality sector in Kolkata has been bringing forth the luxurious aspects of the bygone era through a myriad of themed pubs in Kolkata. Most of them are present within luxury hotels like the Kenilworth. The name of the place in Kenilworth is aptly called The Big Ben.

This place has been designed with the aim of reminding customers about the ambience of the bars belonging to pre-Independent India. The usage of draperies and furnishing, therefore, has been used deftly to provide a nostalgic vibe at its every corner.

In terms of spirits (not the paranormal kind), the place is a case study for hospitality students. All major brands of liquor are present at the Big Ben. Therefore, for people enjoying an interesting conversation while slowly drinking scotch whiskey is a reality that is not left to indifference of any kind. Long story short, a casual conversation with a friend while doing ample justice to a bottle of Royal Stag is likely to take place every single evening – the worth of this place is proved by the fact that such evenings are realities spelled with a capital R.

The compact cuisine of this excellent member among the pubs in Kolkata is symbolic of the fact that food does the best justice to intoxicating liquids. Among the noteworthy items, the ones that simply deserve mentioning are the Mahi Tikka and the Fennel Tossed Jumbo Prawn. However, for lovers of barbequed delicacies, there are many other delicious items that can be selected, for instance, Crunchy Fish Finger, Boti Kebab, and Chicken Yakitori.
