Cocktail Bar:

Stables Bar

Trailer Happiness X The Milestone

Portobello Road's world famous retro-tiki bar, Trailer Happiness teamed up with luxury 5-star Kensington hotel The Milestone for an inspired evening of rum and Polynesian cocktails.

Hosted in the iconic Stables Bar at The Milestone, the Trailer H team brought Caribbean vibes to the hotel for a relaxing evening of cocktail shaking, Latin-American sounds and delicious food.

As part of the collaboration, you could sip on a new creation such as the Smoking Daq with HSE Eleve Suis Bois, Smoke Syrup and lime, or choose from the hotel's classic menu and try the signature Milestone Old Fashioned with Naked Grouse Scotch, Maker’s Mark Bourbon, Orange Oleo Saccharum, home-made bitters, smoked with Double Apple Shisha Tobacco.

Other collaboration cocktails included the Boing Boing with English Harbour, lime juice, agave nectar & Angostura, A.T.A.I.G (As Tiki As It Gets) with HSE, English Harbour, Absinthe, Angostura, Orgeat, passionfruit, lime & grapefruit, or our favourite, the Jessica Rabbit with HSE, Raspberry infused Campari, apple juice and Cacao Blanc foam.

The Milestone's loveable bar manger Angelo Lo Greco put an elegant London twist on the Tiki style using HSE Rum combined with hand-picked ingredients including raspberries and oranges grown in Kensington Gardens.

As the perfect accompaniment to the drinks, small plates were on offer from the Stable Bar menu, including Smoked Mackerel Rillette with grilled sourdough, pickles and candied lemon.

We also loved the Smoked Ham Hock & Aged Cheddar Croquette with piccalilli and Burrata with crispy kale, sweet & sour cranberries, chestnut and squash.

Open every night until 11pm, you can visit the Stables Bar inside The Milestone in Kensington or head down to Trailer Happiness on Portobello Road.
