Boston Classics Menu at The Colony, Beaumont Hotel (all week)

Sporting history will be made this weekend as long-time rivals Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees cross the pond to play two Major League Baseball games in Europe for the first time. The sporting double-header is taking place at Stratford’s London Stadium, which is being given an all-American overhaul for the occasion. While tickets have already sold out, you can enjoy a slice of the action at The Beaumont hotel in Mayfair. In celebration of the history-making game, the handsome Colony Grill Room is serving a special menu all week of Boston-inspired dishes, spanning New England clam chowder, lobster rolls and Boston cream pie. When Corbin & King opened the hotel in 2014, it conjured a fictitious backstory about an American character named Jimmy Beaumont, who had escaped prohibition-shackled New York to London in 1926 to the hotel and was a life-long Red Sox fan – thus making this menu particularly fitting.

Date: 24 – 29 June 2019 Location: 8 Balderton Street, Brown Hart Gardens, W1K 6TF Closest Station: Bond Street

There will also be cheese stands, street food and oysters from the Drop Wine Bar to enjoy with your glass of red or white, alongside disco beats all afternoon.
