Ministry of Horns and Fins
The Rook combines traditional British pub food with the elegant nuances of the French kitchen and bistro food.
The logo for "The Rook" embodies a 'stamp' style, drawing inspiration from classic pub identities. Its accompanying illustration reflects the restaurant's menu, featuring a delightful array of game and seafood. This choice nods to a widely held belief predating the Age of Enlightenment, suggesting that every land creature had its counterpart in the sea. The illustration intriguingly portrays a hybrid creature, part land-dwelling and part marine, symbolizing the restaurant's diverse culinary offerings. Additionally, the inclusion of the small text, "Ministry of Horns and Fins," subtly hints at the building's historical significance, having once served as a ministry.
