CHRISTMAS FEASTING

Inspired by Italian family recipes passed down through generations, served to share. Begin with Mushroom arancini and Burrata with porcini mushrooms (even better with fresh truffle), served with our Rosemary Focaccia to mop it all up. Next, it’s Beef carpaccio with rocket & Grana Padano, and a refreshing Radicchio, orange & caramelised pecan salad.

At the centre, Braised ox-cheeks al Montepulciano fall apart into soft Parmesan polenta. You can upgrade (£5pp) to Head Chef Gigi’s Roast Porchetta rolled with sage, rosemary and lemon zest (just as they do in Abruzzo). Both come with a side of Confit potatoes with rosemary salt. Dessert’s an indulgent Tiramisu, generous in every spoonful, made for the whole table to share.

Our Christmas Feasting Menu is priced at £65 per person and served family style, for all reservations of nine or more to share.

PRIVATE & GROUP DINING

For an unforgettable Christmas private dining experience in London, step into our starlit Conservatory, a room that glows with festive magic. Enveloped by evergreens, Christmas trees and twinkling festoon lights, it offers the buzz of the main restaurant with the intimacy of your own space. Seating up to 20 guests along one central table, or up to 34 across two adjoining rooms, it’s the perfect backdrop for your Christmas party in central London.

For smaller groups, our main restaurant offers the same festive feasting in a vibrant setting, where the open kitchen and central bar bring energy and atmosphere to the room. Our Christmas Feasting Menu is priced at £65 per guest, served for all groups of nine or more. You can book online for groups up to 11 guests. Please contact our host team directly for parties of 12 or more.

DEPOSITS & CANCELLATIONS

Due to the natural busyness of Christmas, we take a deposit of £30 per person to secure all reservations of nine or more. For parties up to eight guests, we take card details as usual to confirm.

Running Christmas at the restaurant takes a huge amount of preparation; as such, we’ll be asking for at least 72 hours’ notice of cancellation for all groups of nine or more during this period (November 17th to December 23rd). Deposits can either be refunded or deducted from the final bill on the evening. Do let our team know your preference.

For cancellations or significant reductions in numbers made within 72 hours of the reservation date, deposits will be retained.
