London-Luxe BBQ All Summer Long at 51 Buckingham Gate
Summer finally arrived in London this weekend (and we mean actual heat; 27 degrees, or 80F) — which means barbecues are in order (as well as stripping off and hitting the parks).
Those who are too gourmet/lazy to do a bit of grilling themselves, though — and to be fair, it's hard for the gardenless in the city — should mosey down to 51 Buckingham Gate (Taj’s London pad which, as the name suggests, is just around the corner from Buckingham Palace).
They’ve installed a huge BBQ in their courtyard 'round the side, which will, weather permitting, be dishing out BBQ grub every night until September 16th. And it's no scraggy bun-fest either; these meals are being planned by the hotel's Michelin-starred chef Sriram Ayur.
There are traditional, meaty barbies on Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends (although think rather a cut above the norm); then Lebanese on Mondays, seafood grill on Fridays and a menu inspired by Quilon — the Michelin-starred Indian restaurant — on Wednesdays.
And although, at £25 a head, it’s not exactly bargain bucket, it’s pretty good value; you get three courses for that price (salad, BBQ and dessert) and you can go as big as you like on them. Plus the venue’s cute: completely devoid of London noise, with flower beds and a fountain in the middle – and we think the chefs are sweeties. Now all you have to do is pray for the weather to hold up.
