Pub in the Park

A joyful fusion of gastropub excellence and festival energy, Pub in the Park promises a stellar line-up of celebrity chefs, cult restaurants and throwback beats. As ever, the culinary offering is impeccable. Expect award-winning pub fare and rising stars of the London dining scene, with highlights from Guy Ritchie’s Lore of the Land, Bouchon Racine at The Three Compasses, The Tamil Prince, Duck & Rice, and Kerridge’s own Butcher’s Tap & Grill. From flame-grilled feasts to elegant plates, the menu reads like a who’s who of modern British pub food.

The festival’s opening night taps into 90s Britpop nostalgia, with Blur2 and Noasis going head-to-head in a playful ‘Battle of Britpop’ tribute. Radio legend Chris Moyles joins the party with his infectious 90s Hangover DJ Set. Music continues across the weekend with a line-up that’s sure to please both discerning ears and dancing feet.

Beyond the stage and the food stalls, festival-goers can dive into Fire Pit Masterclasses, live chef demos in The Miele Kitchen Studio, and talks with some of the UK’s most exciting culinary voices. English winemaker Chapel Down brings the bubbles, and artisan drinks and produce are plentiful.

With further editions in Marlow, Reigate and St Albans, Pub in the Park is a national celebration of everything we love about British pubs; good food, great music, and a cracking atmosphere. See you by the stage!
