Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park adds star chefs, top gastropubs, and an epic Britpop battle to the 2025 lineup.
Londoners, get your forks ready—Pub in the Park is back for 2025, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever. Curated by Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, this food, drink, and music festival is where top gastropubs meet legendary musicians for an unforgettable weekend.
This year’s Pub in the Park London, taking over Gunnersbury Park from 30 May – 1 June, is set to celebrate the capital’s buzzing gastropub scene with an all-star lineup of chefs, restaurants, and DJs. Expect dishes from Guy Ritchie’s Lore of the Land, Bouchon Racine at The Three Compasses, and James Cochran’s The Brave—each bringing serious flavour to the festival.
But it’s not just about the food. The music lineup is equally stacked, with a Britpop battle featuring Blur2 vs. Noasis, marking 30 years since Blur and Oasis went head-to-head for the UK charts. If that wasn’t enough, Chris Moyles will bring the ultimate ‘90s Hangover DJ Set to keep the nostalgia levels high.
