We are officially into Summer now and that means it’s time to remind Kensington and Chelsea Review readers to make their way to Home House Garden, with a club member if you’re not one already, to experience an annual ritual that I fervently look forward to much like the iconic Halloween party later in the year . It is the ultimate destination for lunch, dinner, or drinks within London’s most iconic members club. Magically tucked behind the club’s Georgian façades in the heart of Marylebone this blissfully stylish and majestically elegant haven is a prime spot for joyous get-togethers, business meetings, leisurely lunches and evening drinks all whilst savouring the magnificence of Home House’s pedigreed food and drink offerings.
The new Summer Garden BBQ menu is led by vibrant seasonal flavours and relaxed luxury. Fresh highlights include Sicilian red prawns with tarragon butter, barbecue Dover sole with cucumber and lemon, heritage tomato panzanella, and grilled vegetables marinated in Italian herbs. The BBQ menu is available from Friday to Sunday every week, giving members the perfect excuse to enjoy long lunches and laid back evenings outdoors. The seafood platter, featuring oysters, tiger prawns and dressed crab, is ideal for sharing, while new flatbreads, fresh salads and garden sides offer plenty of choice for every appetite. From the grill, members can enjoy cuts such as the grass fed onglet steak with chimichurri, or opt for lighter plates including tuna tartare with potato galette, oyster mushroom skewers, or Wye Valley asparagus with agretti.
To accompany the food is an updated cocktail list with a focus on summer freshness. Signature drinks include the clarified colada with coconut and pineapple, the cantaloco with melon and tequila, and the Riviera Breeze, a crisp citrus and basil served with cucumber tonic. A dedicated Summer Spritz menu features refreshing combinations such as the Italicus Spritz with guava and lime, the Lillet Rosé Spritz, and the house favourite Per Se Spritz.
To reiterate, the first visit to the Home House garden always seems to be that point which firmly signals the start of summer for me. So whether it’s a slightly balmy day or a full-blown scorcher, head to HHG and get charged-up for the lovely times that lie ahead.
