Go Alfresco
Nothing says summer more succinctly than eating outdoors - dinner on the roof, street food picnic, afternoon drinks on the deck. At Quarter we have beautiful, weatherproof outdoor seating in most of our restaurants, because you never know what the British weather is going to throw at you. Come rain or shine or heatwave, this summer you can enjoy one of life’s greatest simple pleasures with us and beyond.
The Secret Garden - The Square
All hail the secret garden. As the name suggests, this is in the garden of the renowned Berkeley Square Cocktail bar. This premium al fresco drinking and dining experience is covered, spacious, heated and full of character. The food is made up of local, seasonal ingredients, with some brilliant cocktails to accompany, and a wonderful wine selection for those with a refined taste.
The Pergola - Racks Bar & Kitchen
The terrace is quite the suntrap in the summer, so make sure to remember your sun cream. The newly built pergola turns this terrace from a simple outdoor space to a haven from the world beyond, a feeling that only continues with the quirky alcoves of the indoors bar and seating. The Racks app means customers can order from the classic British menu directly to their seat, keeping things as simple as possible.
No.4 Garden - The Rodney Hotel
Party like you’re in a Jane Austen novel at No.4, the perfect location for enjoying some afternoon tea in style. Enjoy your mini cakes and sandwiches in one of two gorgeous locations: the award winning interior restaurant with picturesque chandelier overseeing your tea, and the idyllic walled English garden in the spring and summer months.
