Tom Kerridge and Pub in the Park launch drive-in film and food experiences across the UK

Tom Kerridge's Pub in the Park has announced a brand new series of drive-in film and food experiences, due to launch this summer.

The new venture, called Drive & Dine Theatre, will visit locations across the UK from July 7 to August 2, culminating with screenings in west London’s Syon Park and south London’s Selhurst Park Stadium, home of Crystal Palace.

Guests can expect a selection of classic and contemporary films during the run, with the line-up including 1917, The BFG, Aladdin, Grease and Back to the Future.

Kerridge himself has designed the food menu for film buffs to tuck into. Having made a name for himself with souped-up comfort food at his two Michelin-starred pub The Hand and Flowers, it’s perhaps no surprise that dishes include family-friendly classics such as maple bacon cheeseburger, chicken tikka masala, a vegan five-bean chilli burrito and picnic boxes suitable for both children and grown-ups.

Drive-in diners can also round off the experience with sweet treats including a “TKO” biscuit cheesecake and a “Millionaires” chocolate pot.

There will also be comedy on offer, with guests able to book exclusive stand-up sessions from Mark Watson’s Carpool Comedy Club.

Tickets for the events go on sale from June 10. Screenings costs £17.50 for adults and £5.50-£7.50 for children, while food ranges from £4-£15. Tickets can be bought here.

Kerridge said: “I am so excited to announce a great new event created to have a load of fun in a way that is safely suited to current times. Come and eat some good grub, catch some quality movies, and make some new memories with your loved ones.”
