Wimbledon-themed menus, food and drinks specials in London for summer 2026

Each summer, the fortnight of the Wimbledon Championships prompts London’s hospitality industry to reach for the strawberries and the Pimm’s. For 2026, venues spanning hotel dining rooms, rooftop bars, food halls and champagne houses, have launched limited-edition menus timed precisely to the tournament’s run from 29th June to 12th July. Some offerings are carefully considered; others lean cheerfully into the occasion’s iconography. What follows is a selection drawn from across the city, for a picture of how London eats and drinks during one of its most reliably festive sporting fixtures.

 

Bread Street Kitchen and Bar, 22 Bishopsgate, City of London

Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen and Bar, occupying the 59th floor of 22 Bishopsgate, is running an afternoon tea priced at £55 per person throughout the Wimbledon fortnight. The menu has a more robust character than most in this field: savoury options include an Idiot Sandwich of beef brisket, cheddar and mushroom, a Fish Butty with pea purée and trout, Sticky Toffee Madeleines and Gordon’s Wagon Wheel.

Bread Street, Floor 59, 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AJ. For further information and reservations, visit the website here.

Champagne Lanson, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and Fitzrovia

Champagne Lanson, official champagne supplier to Wimbledon since 2001 and now in its 49th year of association with the Championships, is running three separate London activations during the tournament fortnight. The most accessible is a free-to-attend takeover of Covent Garden Piazza, where deck chairs face a large screen showing live tennis and Lanson’s Père et Fils Brut and Le Rosé Création are served by the glass and bottle (11am–9pm daily). At John Lewis Oxford Street’s 1864 Rooftop Bar, Lanson returns for a second summer with champagne and seasonal canapés from 15th June. Most formally, chef Jun Tanaka’s one Michelin-starred restaurant The Ninth in Fitzrovia is offering a bespoke pairing menu running from 22nd June to 12th July.

1864 Rooftop Bar, 300 Oxford Street, London W1C 1DX. For further information and reservations, visit the website here.
The Ninth, 22 Charlotte Street, London W1T 2NB. For further information and reservations, visit the website here.

Market Place Food Hall, Leicester Square, St Paul’s and Vauxhall

Market Place Food Hall has taken a more expansive approach than most, commissioning Wimbledon-themed dishes from traders across its three London sites. The results are eclectic: Bread Ahead’s Eton Mess Doughnut filled with strawberries, cream and meringue (£4.75, Leicester Square only); Duck Shed’s Pulled Duck Croquettes with a Pimm’s, strawberry and black pepper sauce (£8); Inamo Sukoshi’s Grand Slam Roll combining salmon, strawberry, cucumber and cream cheese (£12); and Animal Wimbledon Fries loaded with American cheese and a strawberry balsamic relish (£7). The bar is serving a Strawberries and Cream Pimm’s and Champagne Cup (£12.75). Live screenings are available across venues.

RAILS Restaurant, King’s Cross

RAILS Restaurant at the Kaya Great Northern Hotel has constructed its Match Point Afternoon Tea around recognisably British flavours rather than simply applying a tennis motif to an existing offering. The savoury selection runs to Roasted Beef Sirloin with horseradish, Smoked Salmon with dill and lemon crème fraîche, classic Cucumber and Cream Cheese, and an Asparagus and Chive Tartlet. On the sweet side, a Pimm’s Macaron shaped to resemble a tennis ball sits alongside a Chocolate Tea Biscuit Cake topped with gold racquets and an apricot Bakewell tart. Scones, strawberries and cream complete proceedings. Guests may add a glass of Nyetimber, Billecart-Salmon or prosecco. Priced from £42.50 per person, served daily 1pm–5pm.

Limoncè x Greenwood, Victoria

Limoncello brand Limoncè is partnering with Greenwood restaurant to host a pop-up bar at Cardinal Place in Victoria for the duration of the Championships. The format is straightforward: live match screenings on a large outdoor screen, Limoncè Limoncello Spritz serves – the house recipe combines 50ml Limoncè, 50ml prosecco and 25ml soda water over ice – and food from Greenwood’s kitchen. Limoncè is produced using Femminello Sicilian lemons and is, the brand notes, the best-selling limoncello in Italy. Cardinal Place’s central Victoria location makes it a practical option for those watching matches after work. Dates run across the full Wimbledon fortnight.

Ardent Pub Group, various locations

Ardent Pub Group is marking the Wimbledon fortnight across its three London venues – The Cadogan Arms in Chelsea, The George in Fitzrovia and The Hound in Chiswick – with live match screenings and limited-edition food and drink. Strawberry desserts vary by site: expect a Strawberries and Cream Cheesecake at The Cadogan Arms (£12), Elderflower Panna Cotta with English strawberries at The George (£12), and an English strawberry and vanilla custard tart at The Hound (£11.50). All three venues will be screening the matches live, and each pub has also developed its own special cocktail to toast the tournament.

La Maritxu, multiple locations

Basque cheesecake bakery La Maritxu is marking the Wimbledon fortnight with a seasonal strawberry offering across its London sites. The burnt cheesecake – characterised by its crustless base, caramelised top and creamy interior – comes in strawberry flavour in mini and medium sizes, priced at £13 and £17 respectively. During finals week (6–12 July), a package combining a five-inch strawberry cheesecake with two cans of Pimm’s is available for £20. The deal is sold across all four locations – Kingly Court, Connaught Street, Greenwich and Coal Drops Yard –  where Everyman Cinema is screening tournament matches outdoors.

Clermont Hotel Group, various venues

Clermont Hotel Group is running its Wimbledon Afternoon Tea across four London properties simultaneously. Each venue’s existing afternoon tea is augmented with a trio of tennis-themed desserts: a Strawberry and Clotted Cream Tart, a Lemon Macaron and a Raspberry, Pimm’s and Lemon Cheesecake. The core offering – finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, jam and a selection of teas – remains consistent across sites. The most distinctive venue is The Royal Horseguards Hotel, where The Green Parlour’s terrace will screen live Wimbledon matches throughout the tournament. 

The Royal Horseguards Hotel, 2 Whitehall Court, London SW1A 2EJ. For further information and reservations, visit the website here.

Town House at The Kensington, South Kensington

The Kensington hotel’s pastry team has produced a single, focused offering: a vanilla mousse sphere encasing a strawberry compote centre, served alongside a glass of Nyetimber Classic Cuvée. The price, £18.77, is a deliberate reference to 1877, the year the Championships were first held at Wimbledon – a detail that suggests the kitchen has thought about this more carefully than most. The dessert is available in the hotel’s portico surroundings, a location that places it within easy reach of South Kensington station. 

The Kensington, 109-113 Queen’s Gate, South Kensington, London SW7 5LP. For further information and reservations, visit the website here
