As our sensational summer rolls on and on, Londoners are spilling out of the office looking for a small piece of the great outdoors where they can soak up some rays and eat lunch.
Middle Temple has launched a new barbecue pop-up venture which is situated in its award-winning garden - a secluded and tranquil setting with a dramatic backdrop of ancient and historical buildings that ooze centuries of history, nestled on the banks of the Thames.
Open to members of the Inn and the general public, the barbecue offerings will change each day, and will feature a wide range of dishes created by the Hall’s executive head chef, Jordan Andrews.
Weather permitting, the barbecue will be open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout July, from 12.30pm to 2.00pm.
