Alfresco Dining
The restaurant is located on a private mews road in Queen’s Park, West London which is owned by one private landlord. The street was home to horse stables in the early 20th Century, but is now a vibrant and unique place to visit with a diverse mix of creative businesses including clothes designers, film producers, music producers, bars and restaurants. There is no residential accommodation on the street so the music can and is played loud! Milk Beach enjoys 40 permanent covers under heated parasols which are used all year round. In the warmer months extra tables and chairs are added on the street for a very southern-European or relaxed Australian vibe.

Natural Wine Tasting Nights
All-day Australian restaurant, Milk Beach, is pleased to announce the Spring and Summer dates for its popular natural wine tasting nights. They’re not awkward group events! The format is casual and personal, with knowledgeable and passionate staff visiting each table for a tasting and chat about each wine. Each night showcases six wines based around a particular theme. From British wines later this week; island wines from Santorini, Sicily and Sardinia in June; to Champagne and Burgundy on Bastille Day. Milk Beach works with suppliers Les Caves de Pyrene and Modal Wines who focus solely on independent winemakers using low intervention winemaking practices. Wine tasting bookings are made via the Milk Beach website and these nights are usually sell out.
Live Music
Music has always been a big part of the Milk Beach experience from its outdoor barbeque days of the lockdowns in 2020 where beach club tunes played on the street. They now host a rotating line-up of soul, folk and R&B musicians every Saturday night from 9pm bringing energy and atmosphere to the end of dinner service while cocktails keep flowing. On warm nights with the large barn doors open, the musicians perform to both inside the restaurant and the street. Look out for Louis on the double bass; Hattie’s unique folk sound; Jasmine’s incredible voice; and many more.
