The Big Chill

Located in a buzzy alleyway high on visual stimulation, the terrace at The Big Chill is quite simply a great place to warm down. To that end, sip rum & Ting, summer punch or Rosie’s lemonade from a list of average-priced cocktails that includes ‘jaywalking honey’ (Johnnie Walker Black, honey, orange & lemon juices); otherwise play it safe with unassuming wines from £3.85 a glass. Burgers, meatballs, nachos, pasta plates & a fish dish of the day are typical of the good-value menu: a salad of barley, broccoli, edamame & red pepper costs £6.50. The bar is owned by the Big Chill Festival folk, so the emphasis is on music in the lo-fi, dressed-down bar where DJs pump out party sounds for assorted ‘cosmic groovers’, ‘deck-shoe gazers’ & dub-steppers.
