THE Lawn Club has rejigged itself while the demolition of Quay House continues in Spinningfields. The rebuilt structure now nestles around the bar’s private lawn, and boasts four spaces leading from interior to exterior, designed to capture the best of the British seasons.
We wanted something which is more than just another bar
There's a range of activities and offerings planned for the summer including perfectly manicured grass, parasols, BBQs, wood burning stoves, blankets, lawn games, candle-lit evenings, good quality dining, take away lunches, gourmet picnic hampers, a membership scheme and complete private hire options.
The menu again comes from the talented David Gale who is providing light snacks or full lunch, dinner or Sunday roast options. Picnic hampers will be packed up with gourmet goodies, and available for a lunch on the lawn. The Lawn Club’s BBQ pit will of course be stoked up too. Confidential has sampled the food and there are no bum notes, there are several exceptional dishes and the food looks a picture.
The drinks menu features a comprehensive craft beer list, a serious wine and Champagne selection alongside a seasonal cocktail menu. Gin will be a particular feature of the drinks menu.
There’ll be a full programme of events too – from lawn games such as croquet and Kubb, to cocktail masterclasses; food pairing evenings with guest chefs, to DJs and live music. The venue will be available to hire.
The concept has been developed by Fluid Bars in partnership with Spinningfields developer, Allied London, who continue to work together to realise The Lawn Club vision. James Wrigley, Director of Fluid Bars said: “This new incarnation is a natural progression for The Lawn Club. We enjoyed huge success last year, and worked hard to develop the food and drink offerings, events and indoor/outdoor space design to create something that wasn’t ‘just another bar’. Now, in partnership with Allied London, we’ve commissioned a new vision of The Lawn Club and we’re really excited to showcase the results.
