The American Bar at The Stafford London features a characterful cobbled courtyard that offers a hidden oasis for dining and drinking in the heart of St James’s. This May, The Stafford has launched a collection of new summer cocktails for guests to enjoy al fresco. What’s more, for all fair-weather lunchtimes throughout the summer, the Kamado Joe grills will be fired up, ready to serve guests special BBQ dishes as part of The Americans Bar’s US-inspired classics.

Chefs Lisa Goodwin-Allen and Jozef Rogulski’s new BBQ Lunch Menu showcases the finest British ingredients whilst taking inspiration from the flavours of open-fire cooking around the world.

Highlights include:

♦ Hand-dived scallops with paprika butter and sea herbs.

♦  The Stafford Burger with Westcombe cheddar and caramelised onions.

♦ BBQ cod with chorizo and soft herb dressing.

The BBQ menu is available from 12 pm to 3 pm, Monday to Sunday, alongside a selection of The American Bar’s classic dishes. From 3 pm, The American Bar’s full A La Carte menu is available.

In partnership with Hendrick’s Gin, the courtyard has been dressed for the season, taking inspiration from the Hendrick’s Distillery Hot House.

The lush, green botanical space will allow guests to bask in the sunshine in one of the Peacock Chairs whilst sipping on the refreshing summer cocktails crafted by The American Bar’s talented mixologists, led by Benoit Provost and Salvatore Megna. The summer cocktail list includes two special Hendrick’s creations:

  • Summer Solstice – Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin, grand Marnier cordon rouge, peach, cherry and sage tea with orange blossom water and soda
  • A Day in Provence – Hendrick’s Original Gin, Lillet Rose, Briottet crème de pêche de vigne, rose wine and zallotti blossom

The BBQ and summer Cocktails at The American Bar launch on 14 May. The BBQ menu is available daily from 12 pm to 3 pm in The American Bar and The Courtyard, with the a la carte menu available from 3 pm onwards. The summer cocktails will be available daily from 12 pm until close.
