London rooftop transforms into cosy winter garden

THE LUCKY CLUB CAMDEN, the brand-new destination roof terrace that launched in May 2022, has undergone a magical transformation ahead of the festive season.

The rooftop cocktail and taco bar concept overlooking London’s iconic Camden Market, is now a cosy Winter Rooftop Garden. Complete with open fire pit, heaters, festive foliage and twinkling fairy lights, the North London newcomer hopes to become an essential part of the Festive London Hot List.

The extensive Margarita menu enjoys a yuletide makeover, featuring creations such as the Hibiscus Margarita (Blanco Tequila, Hibiscus syrup, Lime, Agave) Pica Chocolate (Blanco Tequila, chocolate, lime, agave, chilli) and the Mezcal Penicillin (Mezcal, Lime, Ginger syrup, Agave). The kitchen will be serving quirky takes on the Christmas classics, such as the Roast Turkey Quesadillas (roast turkey, gravy, monterey jack cheese and cranberry sauce) and Pigs in Blankets Tacos (sausages wrapped in bacon, garlic roast potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy).

To ensure guests remain toastie on the terrace, wool blankets and hot water bottles are available on request for those chillier afternoons and nights, and a seriously indulgent and boozy Lucky Hot Chocolate has been introduced, a mezcal and chilli spiked Oaxacan hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, chocolate shards and a giant Lucky Club marshmallow.

The rooftop has also introduced a new weekend brunch menu for those lazy winter mornings. Think dishes such as Huevos Rancheros (Flour tortilla, Mexican BBQ beans, Avocado, Salsa Verde, Chorizo, Feta and Fried Egg) Taco Al Pastor (BBQ Pulled Pork, Avocado Crema, Pineapple, Coriander) and Loaded Green Nachos (Guacamole, Monterey Jack Cheese, Sour cream, Salsa Verde, Pico de Gallo) served alongside Bloody Marias (a tequila Bloody Mary) and Espresso Martinis with a Mezcal twist.

Open Wednesday - Sunday, the venue is supporting the drive to keep ‘going out’ an option this winter, offering 30% off food all day each Thursday, and running its ever-popular Lucky Hour (5-6pm) whereby guests are invited to roll the die before each round. Roll a lucky number 7 and your cocktail is on the house! On Wednesdays, all cocktails are available for £9.50.

The Lucky Club is the first F&B venture from Hartshorn Hook Enterprises who specialise in creating memorable experiences across entertainment, immersive theatre and now, hospitality. Founded by good friends Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook.

“We’re thrilled to have officially opened our doors in London’s iconic Camden Market and are excited to bring a touch of magic to the North Yard this festive season with our Winter Rooftop Garden.” Brian Hook, Co-founder of Hartshorn Hook Enterprises.

“Together with our other ventures - neighbourhood pub, restaurant and wine store - The Farrier and the recently launched immersive production of Peaky Blinders: The Rise, I believe we’re crafting a truly unique corner of culinary creativity, contemporary culture and cosy comfort in Camden.” Louis Hartshorn, Co-founder of Hartshorn Hook Enterprises.

Maggie Milosavljevic, Commercial Director at LabTech, owners of Camden Market, added: “The Lucky Club Camden has transformed itself brilliantly for the festive season, it’s such a comforting environment with the new menus and décor. Taking a rooftop terrace from summer to winter is never easy, but the way Hartshorn Hook Enterprises have invested to create this cosy outdoor space shows they really understand the kind of creativity that Camden Market loves.”
