Jack & Boule has introduced a 5-month Urban Boules pop-up at the South Bank this summer. The venue, located behind the National Theatre, is transformed into a lively space for what Jack & Boule describes as 'Competitive Socialising.' We attend their launch night to check the place out for ourselves. As luck would have it, the sun graces the occasion, casting a warm glow that sets the perfect tone for the evening.

Featuring 8 boules courts and 3 exceptional street food vendors, including Nanny Bill's, serving flavoursome burgers and croquettes. Having indulged in their vegan-friendly burger, The Chick Queen, a plant-based crispy fried fillet, we can confidently attest to discovering one of the most outstanding vegan burgers in London. It was incredibly tasty.

Additionally, Lil' Watan serves authentic Lebanese cuisine with wraps and fattoush salad bowls, which we didn't try, but we noticed many people wandering around with their impressive-looking fattoush salad bowls. We couldn't help but feel a strong food envy as they appeared very appetising. Rico Burrito offers a delightful selection of burritos, tacos, nachos, and quesadillas that were simply outstanding. Moreover, the venue boasts a well-stocked bar, featuring an extensive range of beers and serving exceptionally crafted cocktails. We highly recommend trying their watermelon picante, with a refreshing combination of flavours; we would definitely return for more.

Now, onto the main attraction. Jack & Boule offers 55-minute Boules sessions that can accommodate groups of 2-6 people. It is highly recommended to pre-book your session, with prices starting at £25 per court. This amounts to less than £4.20 per person for groups of 6, making it a fantastic value for a day out in London!
