Take part in a traditional eating competiton – this time with hot dogs. The prize is ‘Hot Dog King’ for the year as well as a Blues Kitchen voucher worth £100. You can still go along even if you are not taking part in the competiton as there is live country music and acoustic blues performances late into the evening.

Roadhouse
373 Lonsdale Rd, SW13 9PY

Bodean’s
I am going to head to Bodean’s, a must for those that love BBQs, not really friendly for vegetarians.
