Butler’s Wharf Food Festival 2013

Celebrate summer at Le Pont de la Tour, Butler’s Wharf Chop House, Cantina del Ponte and Blueprint Café

Butler’s Wharf Food Festival 2013 celebrates 20 years of riverside dining on Butler’s Wharf at D&D London’s restaurants, running from May to October. The festival will see a variety of exciting events at Le Pont de la Tour, Butler’s Wharf Chop House, Cantina del Ponte and Blueprint Café celebrating food and offering the perfect day out along the riverbank this summer.

Butler’s Wharf Chop House launches The Chop House Country Club, a series of events offering guests the perfect chance to ‘escape’ the city this summer, with activity specifically celebrating the best of British food and the outdoors, from tastings and master classes with local suppliers to trips out for guests to learn quintessential pastimes such as clay pigeon shooting.

A new crustacean bar opens at Le Pont de la Tour, there will be an aperitivo hour at Cantina del Ponte with Italian nibbles and cocktails and a chance to tour inside Tower Bridge followed by lunch at Blueprint Café. A foodies delight, the festival offers the chance to feast on the best offerings in London, alongside the stunning views of the Thames that the restaurants all have in common.

From cookery master classes, feasting on oysters and champagne to trout fishing, the Butlers Wharf Festival offers something for everyone. For a full list of the various events going on, please see: www.butlerswharffoodfestival.com
