Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes the preparation behind The Publican's signature Ham Chop in Hay?

The thick-cut pork chop is smoked and cooked directly in aromatic hay to impart an earthy, herbal aroma. It is finished with a caramelized burnt plum glaze, balanced by fresh plums, pickled tropea onions, and green olives for a sweet and savory contrast.

How does The Publican handle gluten-free dining across its meat and seafood menu?

While Publican Quality Bread is featured heavily across toast and sandwich items, many core dishes—including the raw coastal oysters, Beef Fat Fries, Duck Breast, Steelhead Trout, and Maple Braised Bacon—are naturally gluten-free. Kitchen staff are knowledgeable regarding seafood allergies and cross-contamination precautions.

What is included in the Publican Chicken Dinner for Two, and is it a good value?

Priced at $69.00, the Chicken Dinner for Two is a signature feast that includes a roasted half chicken, house-made summer sausage, crisp beef fat fries, smoky barbecue carrots with pecans, and dressed mixed greens, providing an all-inclusive tasting of the kitchen's standout specialties.

Can guests bring their own wine to The Publican, and what is the corkage policy?

Yes, guests may bring outside bottles of wine for a $30.00 corkage fee. However, The Publican is particularly renowned for its world-class craft beer selection, highlighting hard-to-find Belgian Trappist ales like Westmalle Dubbel, dry-hopped Orval, and exclusive collaborations with Chicago breweries.

How do brunch and lunch offerings differ from the evening dinner service?

Midday service features a mix of hearty brunch classics and artisanal sandwiches under $20, such as the famous Mrs. Griffin's Tuna Melt and Prosciutto Cotto Ham & Cheese on Publican Quality sourdough, alongside fresh house pastries, waffles, and breakfast plates, offering a lower price point than dinner.
