The Berkeley opens its rooftop to the public

The Berkeley, perfectly nestled between bustling Knightsbridge and leafy Belgravia, will open its rooftop – usually reserved for staying guests – to the public for summer 2024. 

The Berkeley Rooftop Bar will be open for the summer from the evening of 11 July, offering the ultimate alfresco destination for Londoners to soak up sweeping sunset views over Hyde Park, whilst sitting by the glistening swimming pool. Unrivalled views of London’s skyline will be complemented with a brand-new Mexican-inspired menu of PATRÓN Tequila cocktails and tacos.

In collaboration with PATRÓN, The Berkeley will serve up a series of new tequila-based cocktails throughout summer. Highlights include the PATRÓN Tequila Colada, a take on the classic cocktail, replacing rum with PATRÓN Reposado, paired with mango lassi, coconut cream and water, vanilla, and lime. The Ultimate Knutarita blends PATRÓN Silver tequila with shiso umeshu, pine, Cointreau, lime, and spice for an aromatic twist on a margarita. For those who prefer an alcohol-free option, the Forest Gimlet, featuring Everleaf Forest aperitif, pink grapefruit soda and honey, is a refreshing option to enjoy.

A trio of tacos and a ‘make your own’ guacamole are highlights of the new menu. Dishes include smoked salt marsh lamb shoulder with pickled jalapeno and saffron aioli in a blue corn taco; barbeque jack fruit with sweet Romano peppers, coconut, and coriander cream in a white corn taco; and crispy Dover sole with charred sweetcorn, mojo emulsion in an avocado taco. On ‘Taco Tuesdays’ there will be a fourth ‘secret’ off-menu option, which is available for one night only and changes each week. Guests will also be able to make their own guacamole, starting with a base of fresh smashed avocado, and adding toppings including spring onion, chilli, garlic, tomato, coriander, toasted seeds, and lime, to dip crunchy house-made tortillas. As a sweet treat in the sun, The Berkeley rooftop soft serve machine will dispense a selection of changing ice cream flavours throughout the season, complete with perfectly piped sunglasses biscuits on the side.
