This month London’s favorite al fresco dining spot, Dalloway Terrace, is prolonging summer nights in the capital, becoming the first restaurant in the city to launch their very own Film Club. In conjunction with The Nomad Cinema, a permanent 30-foot cinema screen has been installed and guests are invited to enjoy an array of classic movies with wireless headphones, whilst relaxing on the picturesque terrace under the stars. A selection of dishes can be ordered from the new Dalloway Film Club Menu, paired with bespoke cocktails inspired by the series of classic films being showed.
The Dalloway Film Club will launch at 8pm on Thursday 22nd September with an exclusive screening of Baz Luhrmann’s award-winningly opulent The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan. Guests will revel in F Scott Fitzgerald’s decadent tale of 1920’s excess in the luxurious setting of Dalloway Terrace. Tickets include wireless headphones, a bag of Willy Chase’s ‘Fit Corn’ and a welcome cocktail inspired by the movie. The terrace will be well equipped for the impending autumnal weather with heaters and cosy blankets, promising ultimate comfort whatever the weather.
The wholegrain air-popped corn will be available in grown-up, guilt-free flavours, including: Salted Honey, Nearly Naked; and Chase Smoky Bloody Mary. During the screening, guests will have the opportunity to dine from the Film Club Menu favourites, including; Crispy salt & pepper squid with chilli and lime, Truffle fries and Wiltshire ham hock monsieur with grape chutney.
Throughout the evening guests will get the chance to enter a competition to win two complimentary drinks in The Bloomsbury Club Bar following the movie. Guests will be able to enter simply by taking a selfie with their cinema ticket and posting it on their Instagram account, tagging @DallowayTerrace and using the hashtag #DallowayFilmClub. Each night, a winner will be chosen by the Dalloway team.
