Stamford Bridge launches pop-up summer garden

Ahead of a vibrant summer of sport, Stamford Bridge, the West London destination venue and home to Chelsea Football Club, has launched its very own pop-up Summer Garden, open from now until 31 July.

The Summer Garden at Stamford Bridge has been landscaped with trees, hedging and string fairy lights designed to complement the outside terraces of Frankie?s Sports Bar & Diner and Marco Grill restaurants, providing a new alfresco cocktail bar and dining space for London during summer 2015.

The garden, surrounded by a white picket fence, will include a fully-decked sports lounge with sofas and deck chairs positioned in front of a large TV screening the summer?s most anticipated and iconic sporting fixtures, including the tennis championships at Queen?s and Wimbledon, horse racing at Ascot, the Tour de France and the British Grand Prix.

Serving food inspired by the relaxed diner-style plates at Frankie?s and mouth-watering steaks at Marco Grill, the purpose-built BBQ will be open daily, offering Picanha steak with baby plum tomatoes, tiger prawns with lime, chilli, coriander and fennel, as well as chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables encased in flatbread pockets. Snacks including bruschetta, hot wings and fries can be enjoyed with Prosecco, Pimms and a range of cocktails, wines, beers and soft drinks from the fully licensed bar.

Simon Hunter, Head of Venue and Brand, commented: ?Once again, the UK has an impressive season of sport ahead and we?re delighted to be able to screen the very best of those events to our London audience in an all-new alfresco environment at Stamford Bridge. Our new pop up Summer Garden provides a relaxed space for the wealth of local families and corporate groups on our doorstep as well as offering first-time visitors to Stamford Bridge something they might not have expected.?

The bar at the pop-up Chelsea Garden at Stamford Bridge is open from 12pm-2.30pm daily and from 5.30pm-9pm Sunday-Wednesday and 5.30pm-9pm Thursday-Saturday, with the BBQ available 10am-10pm daily. For more information, visit marcogrill.com or frankiessportsdiner.com.
