You are invited…
The time? From long
before the fanfare to mark the start of the Olympic opening ceremony, all the
way through the Games themselves and right up to the moment the final light is
switched off after the closing ceremony and silence falls over the stadium.
The place? Belgium
House, at Historic Middle Temple Hall, an oasis in the heart of London’s Legal
district, overlooking the Thames - conveniently situated between Temple and
Blackfriars stations, and just a short walk from City Thameslink.
Where better to celebrate the Olympics in the company of
like-minded fellow spectators, cheering on our athletes, taking in the live
entertainment and playing interactive games …
… and, of course, sampling the range of culinary delights
that only Belgique can offer?
While following all the Olympic action up on the big screen
in the Belgique Main Hall, you could be enjoying an oyster or three, a shrimp
cocktail or perhaps some lobster soup in the Wine and Oyster Bar there - and
maybe even meeting some of the very recognizable former Olympic stars dropping
by.
When all the sporting excitement gets too much to take, you
could always relax on the lawn of Middle Temple Hall’s perfectly manicured
garden.
There you could sip a crisp Stella Artois, or a Hoegaarden
beer with its complex melange of flavours, or even a smooth strong Leffe, each
of them just perfect to accompany any of the traditional Belgian snacks
available nearby - from a simple chips and sauce, to croquette crevettes ... or
even to barbeque delights - from beef to salmon, Belgian style!
But for something a little lighter, there's always the
Breughel Buffet nearby, offering baguettes overflowing with Belgian delights
from de Beauvoorde Ham to Brugge Jong cheese - and much more.
And pastries. How
could there not be pastries? And what
better way of snacking while watching your favourite athletes than with a tea
or coffee plus a pastry … or a slice of pear and chocolate cake ... or one of
Belgium’s famous waffles?
A token system will be in effect, and no cash can be accepted as payment. Tokens for Belgium House can be ordered on our online store and collected at the main entrance of Begium House.
See you there!
