It’s officially summer once the barbecue starts going – or, if you’re like my dad, it’s the officially/almost the end of winter. Either way, the smell of a barbecue brings in all those summer feels. Everyone bringing along their favourite recipes, drinks and side dishes to compliment hand-cooked and fresh food hot off the grill.
If you’re planning a summer party, a BBQ party is a sure favourite for everyone. But alas, sometimes London doesn’t allow you a garden in a block of flats, or maybe they do, just the garden or terrace just isn’t big enough. The solution? Hire a venue suitable for your BBQ party. Easy.
From brewhouses to historic manors and waterside grills, we’ve got a selection of the finest venues to bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re grilling burgers, ribs, prawns, or something more exotic, you’ll find that each of the cool locations we’ve selected below has something special to offer.
