A very Happy Father’s Day 🔹This might be the perfect day to introduce our new main course: 12-hour roast shoulder of grass fed Wiltshire lamb, freekeh,& barley tabbouleh, chopped salad, seasoned yoghurt, caramelised walnut butter, rose harissa, pickles & ferments. #thameslido

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: New summer menu and an introduction to our restaurant director, Jake Platt. The new a la carte menu will be rolling out over the coming days, and you will notice that fresh, seasonal vegetables are taking centre stage. Expect our familiar Mediterranean and Levantine influence but we’re ringing the changes with a vegetable-led, Californian approach where seasonality is our focus. Eating seasonally gives us a sense of time and place and rewards us with the most flavoursome produce. We’re cooking with simplicity and honouring the produce we have that is available now. Jake Platt, our restaurant director who is also based at Bristol Lido will be a more familiar face here, and will continue to oversee and develop our menus as the seasons change. Pictured: 🔹A summer salad of Cuore del Versuvio tomatoes, flat peach, goats curd, mint, verbena & basil. 🔹Wood roasted chalk stream trout, white beans, trombetta courgettes slow cooked with olive oil, mint & garlic, romesco sauce & crème fraiche 🔹Bullinada. A Catalonian fish stew of monkfish, river Fowey mussels & red prawns with aioli, new seasons potatoes, parsley, fennel & lemon🔹Jake Platt, our restaurant director. #thameslido

𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐝𝐨 ⁠⁠“We want Double-Barrelled to be known and loved locally, and for it to be something Reading can be proud of. If we can get anywhere close to that, that would be great” ⁠⁠June 15th marks Beer Day Britain so what better excuse to celebrate one of our local beer suppliers, the award-winning @doublebarrelledbrewery. ⁠⁠We invited the founders and directors of Double-Barrelled, Luci and Mike, down to Thames Lido for a drink and a chat. ⁠⁠Luci tells us “Double-Barrelled was never meant to be a business. When Mike and I were planning our wedding, Mike was a keen homebrewer, so we decided to do a brew to give all our guests as a wedding favour – we loved the process of a creating beer together and decided to turn our dreams into reality! The business has taken off in a way we couldn’t really imagine or plan for despite the struggles we faced during the pandemic. Now at any one time we have nearly 80,000 pints in tank at our site in Tilehurst at various stages of fermentation and are constantly struggling to keep up with demand. It feels a long way from those first home brews in a garage!”⁠⁠Their proudest moment? “We have been nominated for a bunch of awards for our beer, our business, our taproom, which has been amazing when we didn’t come from the industry in the first place. I think sometimes at the start you have a lot of self-doubt, but then being nominated for and receiving awards alongside the best in your industry really makes you start to believe that you are doing something right” ⁠⁠⁠Continued in the comments...

At Thames Lido we hold our commitment to the physical and mental health of our local community as a priority. We've been grateful to Reading's community for embracing our vision and supporting our business during the pandemic. ⁠⁠As part of our dedication to 'give back' to the wonderful town of Reading, we've chosen @sportinmind as our Charity of the Year. The award-winning mental health charity is based in Reading, with a mission “to improve the lives of people experiencing mental health problems through sport and physical activity.” This essential charity resonated strongly with us, so we have named them as our Charity of the Year.⁠⁠The Sport In Mind concept is simple: taking part in sport and physical activity aids wellbeing and mental health. Sport in Mind are a helping hand for those needing extra support on their journey of recovery, offering opportunities and resources to get active in a fun, safe and supportive environment. ⁠⁠“Sport In Mind are delighted to be partnering with Thames Lido. Sport encourages us to get active and improve our physical health, but it can also provide important social connections and improve self-esteem and well-being. Throughout the year we will be holding some exciting charity events, so please look out for information on our website and do get involved!” ~ Paul Owen. Sport In Mind⁠⁠We'll be sharing more about the synergy of this partnership but for now, ask yourself if you have what it takes to participate in an exciting endurance swimming challenge this autumn... More on that soon!⁠⁠⁠#thameslido #sportinmind #charityoftheyear #mentalhealthmatters⁠⁠⁠
