Jack & Boule, South Bank in Lambeth

Para el principiante o profesional de la petanca un gran equipo amable. Por favor reserve temprano ya que esto es popular, los pasteles son sólidos y las cervezas frías, un pastis cae bien! 9 / 10

Un secreto bien guardado en un generoso espacio al aire libre que existe justo detrás del Teatro Nacional y cerca de la rotonda de Waterloo cine IMAX. Abierto desde hace poco más de un año y a punto de lanzar un segundo sitio en Spittlefields, este emprendimiento sueco (no francés) tiene el ambiente de una ciudad francesa con campos de lavanda y vegetación (casi). El personal aquí es genial, amable y servicial, el juego es barato (10 libras por persona durante 90 minutos) y divertido, y las bebidas son frías y asequibles. La estrella del espectáculo es el francés Stephan, el profesor de Boules, que te dice cómo hacerlo a la manera de Marsella, una estrella que bromeará contigo, compartirá consejos y secretos e incluso se unirá a tu equipo si es un día tranquilo. Y – totalmente diferente a la mayoría del resto de Londres, los extraños hablan entre sí aquí, se ayudan mutuamente, intercambian consejos y experiencias y se mezclan – un ambiente verdaderamente diferente a otros entornos sociales competitivos. Recomendado.

Petit endroit super mignon dans Londres pour jouer à la pétanque dans une ambiance très chaleureuse et boire un coup entre amis. Le cadre nous a attiré ici, et les prix particulièrement bons marchés ainsi que l’accueil super friendly et convivial nous fera revenir! Un grand merci tout particulier à Ollie (pour les boules noires!) et Stephane pour leur disponibilité et leur sympathie. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit pour passer un bon moment dans Londres!

Wow, what a gem of a place, so happy I found it. From the minute I arrived, I was impressed. Special shout out to Olly, such a warm welcome, super friendly and a thoroughly nice fella. Accomodated a lane even though they were busy, fantastic hosting. Looking forward to coming back

We had a great team onsite here with some food, drinks & games. The service was really good, staff were very friendly and attentive. The only down fall was the food. It was bad but portions were small and it was pricey for what we got. I had to order some extra food for everyone as people were still hungry. I ordered some extra sharing plates and some trays on Nacho's. The nacho chips I could see being poured onto a tray with a small bit guacamole, salsa & sour cream in the middle and we were charged £31.50 per tray for this. Other than this it was a lovely evening!

We booked a semi private space for a group of 30-40 people on a Sunday. Everyone had a great time! It was the perfect, more engaging alternative to booking out a few tables at a pub. The space is kid and dog friendly too which is just what we were after. It was a covered area in case of rain, we had a couple of lanes for boules and they even helped accommodate for kids with some additional plastic balls. We pre booked some drinks and some food which helped kick off the event. The team looking after us were really proactive and accommodating, thanks especially to the team lead that day!

Really fun evening with friends. Great cocktails (good value, too) and nibbles. Only tried the macaroni cheese balls which were addictive but the food in general looked good. Friendly staff and can’t wait to go again.

Lovely spot in London for relaxed drinks and amazing Street Food - the Yard Burger and the Chicken Burrito are INCREDIBLE 🧡 Set in a really central location which is perfect as I was only visiting London for a couple of nights. I visited with friends local to the area and the venue was the perfect spot for an evening of catching up... plus with the boules courts it added a little extra to our evening. Highly recommend!

New South Bank gem! Fabulous fun venue for a birthday celebration, game was explained, simple to play and score even for a novice like me! Drinks easily ordered while we played although choosing proved a greater challenge for me as there was a fab bar, definitely recommend trying the J&B cocktail specials, I loved the Jack & Boule fizz! They had their own Siren J&B beer too. We had a relaxed lunch of burgers, burritos and quesadilla in the seating area, they were all excellent. If you’ve never dipped a burger in gravy (like me) you just have to try it, it’s crazy but delicious! There were even water bowls for the dogs too! We will be back!

Came for a game of boules and a few drinks with friends and stayed for the amazing burgers & nachos. Such a great venue and the staff were all really friendly. Will be back again this summer with our dog! 🤩
