Welcome to Beautiful Allotment
Discover a pocket of countryside, in the heart of the city
Brought to you by Bourne & Hollingsworth, Beautiful Allotment will take the homemade and creative inspiration of an allotment to create an unprecedented drinking and dining experience this summer.
Where allotments naturally find their homes on wasteland, Beautiful Allotment will take up residency in the stunning Victorian gardens of the Geffrye Museum. The magnificent grounds will be transformed into a serene oasis, where bookable day beds, handcrafted potting sheds, makeshift cocktail bars and raised BBQ areas will all mix in with trailing plants, vegetable patches, repurposed items and homemade, handpicked pieces of furniture to create a living, organic and beautiful outdoor destination.
Cocktails curated by the Bourne & Hollingsworth team will be fresh, seasonal and sustainable, using ingredients grown on the grounds. Roaming ‘garden-tenders’ with wheel barrow bars will bring drinks to revellers as they lounge on sofas in amongst the home-grown plants. For those looking for a bite to eat, the food will almost be entirely BBQ led and locally sourced, with delicious and ever changing wholesome platters of vegan, vegetarian, fish and meat options.

Food and drink is self-service from the garden bars and BBQs and there are plenty of veggie and vegan options on offer.
Menus change daily so are not available in advance. All food is cooked on open fire BBQs and grills and is a mix of delicious meat, fish and veg options served alongside salads and sides. We do our best to cater for intolerances in advance, with plenty of vegan, gluten and dairy free options, but talk to the chef on the day if you are concerned.
All bookings are based on a mixture of seating and standing space – the allotment is not a formal seated dinner space!
Food and drink from off site are not allowed to be brought into the allotment.
The nearest station is Hoxton, but Old Street, Shoreditch High Street and Haggerston are all in easy walking distance.
