As Christmas approaches, expect London's competitive socialising venues - from darts to cricket - to do very well. Now another place is about to join the ranks and this one's all about indoor boules (or pétanque if you're being pedantic).
Boulebar originally launched in the UK on the South Bank (it's also in Sweden and Denmark) and now they're coming to Spitalfields for round two. There will be 10 indoor lanes, with two teams per lane. You can expect plenty of guidance if you're a little unfamiliar as to how it all works (essentially, get your ball as close to the jack as possible).
There will, of course, be food and drink to "enhance" your play. Given the origin of the game, the food will be French bistro-inspired, with pâtés, charcuterie, and cheese boards the order of the day. Drinks also carry on that French theme with cocktails, French beer, crémant and pastis.
So if you fancy getting some friends together for something a little different, a game of petanque could be worth considering.
