Scrumptious Saturday: Haven Gastropub

And speaking of lovely eateries  transformed into faraway destinations, this week's Scrumptious Saturday features Haven Gastropub in Orange (and Pasadena). 

Walking into Haven Gastropub will instantly transport you from SoCal right into a real, charming British pub! No jet lag required.

Inside, there's an entire wall covered in chalkboard next to the bar with dozens of different ales. It pairs wonderfully with their fresh-from-the-oven pub food. The tables are always bustling and the bar is always full of merriment. 

Truffle Fries: pommes frites, house made sel gris truffle salt, garlic aioli

Mac n’ Cheese: black truffles, gruyere, fontina, parmesan

These dishes hardly scratch the surface of the menu. There is far too much to try -- but it's all highly recommendable! Until teleportation is doable, Haven Gastropub will certainly make you feel like you've walked into a quaint, London pub! All they are missing is the lovely British accent ;).  

Whether you bring a special someone for light, pub conversation or throw back a few with a group of friends ... one thing's for sure...
this pub + dinner hybrid is a surefire taste-bud pleaser.
