London’s finest dining experience for canal enthusiasts has Christmas options on both its moving and static boats. There are a whole range of options going on at Pizarro on Bermondsey Street. 90 option that includes a whole Segovian suckling pig. That’s by no means the only thing on the menu either. There’s jamón ibérico, croquetas, red prawns, and lots more.

So it’s possible that the festive Italian feast here may inspire you to write a book, or apply for the Apprentice 2022 or something. Although every day feels like Christmas at Gloria – the chintzy Shoreditch trattoria that looks like the inside of a glittery pizza bauble – they’ve also got a Christmas-specific group menu as well. Everything is made for sharing, from burrata and focaccia starters, to their gran carbonara mixed in a pecorino wheel. Without doubt one of London’s finest gastropubs, the Canton Arms is the kind of place we’d like to spend the entirety of December. For Christmas they’ve got a couple of feasting menus available, with a choice of warming classics like pie, dauphinoise and a totally unnecessary but also necessary cheese board. We’ll use any excuse to go and celebrate at Brigadiers, so you should probably make Christmas lunch yours.
This upmarket Indian barbeque spot in the City has everything from a whisky vending machine, to a pool room you can abscond to if you happen to hate your colleagues, as well as slick booths, and several private dining areas. There’s also a whole lot of festive options to suit your needs. And its six-course champagne-fuelled menu on the 25th lives up to that. 10 roast chicken, onion squash, and a chocolate mousse dessert, then the set menu at Sidechick is for you. A Christmas meal at this Marylebone spot’s private dining area will keep anyone who’s a fan of chicken happy. Bring your colleagues, family, friends, favourite barista, or even your ex’s cousin. Basically, bring whoever, just as long as they’re down for a good time and appreciate a banging aioli.
If you’re going to have to listen to your entire family moan about their two-hour trip to London to see you for a Christmas lunch, then you’re going to want, at the very least, some decent turkey. Luckily, this old-school Kensington haunt really knows their meat. It’s the kind of mildly eccentric restaurant that’ll have even your angriest uncle smiling by the time he finishes his cheese and leek tart starter. Luca is one of our favourite Italian restaurants in London, and they also happen to have a private terrace and two excellent private rooms, one of which is where they make their pasta fresh daily. 85pp that you must make it your duty to get your company to sign off on. This place is a great option if you want to show your group you know what’s cool.
Ciao Bella is a perma-party restaurant for much of London and it’s where you go when you value good times more than anything else. This Italian institution knows how to celebrate every day of the week, piano-player and all, and unsurprisingly it’s no different at Christmas. Their festive menu includes 80s family buffet classics like salmon with a side of crayfish, as well as duck breast cooked in a red berry sauce. Holborn Dining Room is one for the Christmas traditionalists, the sorts who shake their head and frown intensely when sprouts are mentioned any time prior to December. The menu options are pricey, but this place is perfect for a big corporate Christmas knees-up where gravy’s spilt and red wine is quaffed. If you’re sick at the thought of your eighteenth slab of beef and gravy for lunch in December, then the Indian sharing plates at Gunpowder in Tower Bridge will come as a very welcome relief.
