Brunch is a beautiful thing: a leisurely weekend meal, filled with decadent ingredients served around the noonish hour. Cask & Larder’s Sunday brunch menu features items to satisfy those wanting breakfast items and those who are hunting for more lunch type items and plenty of sweet treats.  My recent visit had our table of six ordering many things to share and savor. The French Toast topped with peaches and mint could easily double for dessert with it’s summery richness. We enjoyed a bakery board, offering a nice assortment of freshly baked treats.  Keeping ahead of nationwide culinary trends, the Croissant-Doughnut was served with a lighter than expected caramel cream sauce. The biscuits and gravy were table favorites, with light and airy biscuits served with a perfect sausage white gravy.

The Milk Braised pork was tender pork set atop creamy grits and served with a coddled egg. The Frittata was a nicely cooked base of scrambled eggs, topped with cheese and slowly braised shredded short ribs. Another savory meaty option would be The Dip, crusty bread filled with smoked pork and served with roasted potatoes and a flavorful Au Jus to dip.  I enjoyed The Muffin- candied collard greens, soft scrambled eggs topped with poached lobster clawas and a light hollandaise.

Cocktails at the Cask & Larder never fail to impress, brunch is no different. The Bloody Mary is lovely- the right notes of savory tomato and zippy spice and for those looking for a bubbly option the delicious Seelbach is your brunch beverage. Offering a kick of Ambler Old Scout Bourbon, Contreau then smooths the drink out before bitters and sparkling wine are added. Check the Cask & Lader website for the current menu, as items are updated regularly based on seasonal availability.  Reservations available through Opentable. Reservations recommended.

The Seelbach cocktail offered at Brunch and on the lunch and dinner bar menu.
