Blackout at Butler’s Wharf for Thames Festival 6th – 15th September 2013

“The name of the river ‘Thames’ itself is said to derive from the Sanskrit term for ‘dark’ and it has often been known as the dark river” –Peter Ackroyd

Blackout at Butler’s Wharf London for Thames Festival

D&D London’s collective of iconic riverside restaurants at Butler’s Wharf – Le Pont de La Tour, Cantina del Ponte, Blueprint Café and Butler’s Wharf Chophouse – will be  ‘blacking out’ lighting in all four restaurants from 8.30pm every evening throughout the 10 days of the Thames Festival.

Free from the light pollution of modern London, diners can savour spectacular views of the Thames and experience the unspoilt beauty of the river by darkness and subtle candlelight.

For the duration of Butler’s Wharf Blackout, guests will enjoy candlelight dining and late night drinking sessions at each venue alongside a calendar of special events from Blind Wine Tasting, to Ghost Bus Tours, to a Fire and Flambé night.

A highlight will be the ‘Blackout Banquet‘, a pop-up 40 metre, 140 seat banqueting table spanning the riverbank, starting from Butler’s Wharf Chophouse, to classic French restaurant Le Pont de La Tour, and ending alongside Italian trattoria Cantina del Ponte.  Each restaurant will serve a different three course, fixed price special ‘Blackout Menu’ over the ten days.

Times: The Blackout Banquet will serve dinner at 7pm every evening between Friday 6 September – Sunday 15 September, plus lunchtimes at 12:30pm on Saturday 7, Sunday 8, Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 September.

Reservations: Meals at the banqueting table are priced at £35 per head for three courses including an arrival drink and coffee.

Reservations can be made by telephone on 0207 940 1833.
