Set in London’s beautiful St. James’s Park, Inn The Park is the summer hotspot for diners and drinkers looking to escape smoky street corners and make the most of the summer sunshine.
Overlooking the picture postcard setting of ‘Duck Pond’, Inn The Park’s restaurant is ideal for business lunches and romantic dinners under the stars. Cocktail connoisseurs should head to the fabulous rooftop, or simply grab and go for a parkland al fresco experience.
The ever-changing summer menu is made using produce from the very best, locally grown British ingredients supplied by unsurpassed artisan producers, rare breed farmers and specialist fisherman. Offering a real gastronomic treat, starters may include mackerel tartar with a watercress and asparagus salad or baked razor clams with wild garlic crumbs.
Must try mains include poached Highbury Farm chicken, spring vegetables and a herb and barley broth; Barnsley lamb chop, grilled kidney and spring greens; or beetroot and horseradish dumplings with broccoli and Colston Bassett Stilton. How to end the meal may be a difficult one, with iconic favourites such as rhubarb crumble; apple pie with vanilla ice cream; or lemon posset with nutmeg shortbread.
With temperatures expected to soar this summer, head to Inn The Park’s chic Roof Top Bar, standing high above the greenery, to wile away a lazy summer’s afternoon or balmy evening. The huge range of chilled wines, beers and ciders, juices and smoothies, as well as cool cocktails will quench even the thirstiest crowd.
Choose from flute cocktails including Spring Punch (vodka muddled with fresh raspberries, a touch of lime and sugar, topped with Champagne), long drinks such as Ginger and Lemongrass Mule (infused lemongrass vodka, fresh lime juice, root ginger and ginger beer); or ice cold martinis including the refreshing Cucumber and Mint Martini (gin with freshly muddled mint and cucumber, cloudy organic apple juice and a hint of lemon) - an ideal accompaniment to any balmy summer evening.
Those feeling peckish can indulge in a number of bar bites. Look forward to coarse country pate with spicy apple chutney on hot toast; scampi with the best hand cut chips and tartare sauce; or Inn The Park’s seasonal cheese board, featuring Ticklemore, Wendsleydale, Sommerset Brie and Keens Cheddar with celery, chutney and soda bread crisps.
If you prefer to sit amongst the greenery, the ‘grab & go’ self-service area is packed with seasonal dishes including salads, savoury tarts and sandwiches, or treat yourself to homemade ice cream, cakes or our own blend teas or coffees.
With fabulous food and an unrivalled location, Inn The Park is a ‘must visit’ this summer.
