For those who love a good cocktail, especially the classic Negroni, this one’s for you. Next weekend, Glasgow pub, The Gate, is teaming up with the beloved Celentano’s and Campari to bring you an experience that’s bound to be the highlight of Negroni Week.
The date
On Saturday, 21st September, from 12pm to 6pm, prepare for an indulgent afternoon of Italian-inspired snacks perfectly paired with innovative Negroni serves.
The food
Celentano’s, known for its fresh and seasonal Italian dishes, is taking over The Gate’s kitchen for the day, and they’re bringing some seriously tempting bites. Expect to be wowed by their Lasagna Fritti—crispy, golden nuggets filled with porcini mushrooms and Corra Linn cheese, or try something a little different with their Crispy Pig’s Head, a rich, crispy treat served alongside mustard and American pickles.
The Smoked Cod Doughnuts, with their unexpected kimchi twist, are sure to surprise and delight, while the Fermented Potato Flatbread topped with ricotta and salsa verde will satisfy those looking for something both comforting and sophisticated.
You can enjoy the full snack menu for £33 or mix and match to suit your appetite.
The drinks
Of course, the star of the show is the Negroni, and The Gate’s team of expert mixologists has created a special menu to celebrate this iconic cocktail. Using Lind & Lime Gin, each Negroni is a unique interpretation of the classic, crafted to pair beautifully with Celentano’s dishes.
Start your day right with the Breakfast Negroni, a playful blend of gin, Campari, coffee, and a dash of Coco Pops and banana oat whey—a cheeky nod to breakfast indulgence.
For something fresh and light, the Lunch Negroni, with its tomato and basil notes, is perfect.
As evening falls, warm up with the Dinner Negroni, featuring basmati rice and garam masala for a spicy, comforting sip.
And to finish? The Dessert Negroni is pure decadence, combining vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce with the classic ingredients for a sweet, creamy treat.
Each cocktail is priced at £10, making it easy to sample them all.
