1. The first Christmas dinner venue of its kind: Park Row

Soho, London

The best dinners are those that come with their own set of stories. A recipe passed down through generations. A kitchen mishap turned new favourite dish. A comic-book-inspired restaurant.


Billed as a DC-inspired restaurant experience, Park Row is inspired by the world of Gotham City, although non-fans may be none the wiser as the venue is more Bruce Wayne than Batman. Expect darkly contemporary interiors, a curated art collection and cocktails inspired by the better-known Gotham City denizens.


For a festive feast, guests can look forward to an elevated Christmas dinner featuring classics and new delights on the three-course dinner.


While the entire venue is available for up to 500 standing guests and a party of 220 can comfortably sit down for a dinner, spaces such as Old Gotham City, Pennyworth’s, Rogue’s Gallery, the Iceberg Lounge and The Monarch Theatre can all be hired separately for private Christmas dinners.

2. A fancy French Christmas dinner venue: Le Vert, L'Escargot

Soho, London

For a very French Christmas meal (minus the hasty Eurostar trip), head to Greek Street’s L’Escargot. The long-standing restaurant and private members club has served the finest French cuisine to guests (public figures and the general public alike), just a few years shy of a century. Think baked lobster, coq au vin and some of the best wines Soho has to offer.


Christmas dinners can be hosted in their 36-person private dining room, Le Vert, which as expected is a pistachio-coloured room – accented with decorative ceilings, a grand chandelier and accented curtains and chairs.


Expect a festive menu du jour of stuffed roast turkey, Christmas puddings, a special cheese platter, and of course lots of wine. Santé!

3. Head to this restaurant for a reliably good Christmas dinner: Dirty Bones

Soho, London

What do you get when you combine an NYC-inspired menu, a laid-back venue and old-school tunes? A Dirty Bones Christmas.


The Denman Street venue is Soho’s answer to a cool Christmas dinner in New York. Offering a menu that serves sliders, mac and cheese balls, cheeseburger dumplings, toffee puddings and eggnog shots, it’s a swift departure from your run-of-the-mill Christmas dinner.


In true city style, guests are welcomed by the venue’s neon signs, exposed brick walls, and general cool aesthetic that’d be ideal for a festive feast with friends. For a larger Christmas dinner with up to 60 seated guests, the entire venue can be privately hired.

4. An after-work Christmas dinner venue: Playroom, 100 Wardour Street

Soho, London

Located at one of the Marquee Club’s former sites is 100 Wardour Street. Across multiple floors, the eponymous party and restaurant venue offers guests multiple spaces to drink, dine and celebrate.


From the Club and Atrium to the Lounge spaces, Christmas dinners can be as bustling or intimate as you’d like. For an after-work festive dinner, head to the Playroom, a space that seats up to 12 guests.


Expect many glasses of bubbly, a choice of turkey, pescatarian and veggie options as well as puddings, tarts and crumbles. In between courses and gossip, the billiards table and TV offer some much-needed entertainment.


Find them just a few minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus station.

5. A classic Christmas dinner venue in Soho: Berners Tavern, London Edition

Soho, London

Just outside Soho’s square mile is the decidedly chic British restaurant Berners Tavern. Nestled inside the London Edition hotel, expect to find wall-to-wall paintings, low lighting, intimate booths and a standout bar stocked with enough to make any festive cocktail.


For parties with up to 250 guests, the entire venue can be hired, but for smaller occasions, a private dining room just above the restaurant is ready for parties of up to 12.


To set the evening off, diners can expect a multi-course feast that is equal parts festive, seasonal and celebratory – as expected of a restaurant headed by a Michelin-star chef.

6. Be transported to this Christmas dinner venue near Soho: La Rampa

Soho, London

Amidst Oxford Circus’ hustle and bustle is the Cuban-inspired restaurant and bar La Rampa. For a Christmas dinner with a little more spice than your usual roast, head to the Market Place venue.


Surrounded by more plants than you can count, decadent artwork and rich interior colours, expect to be transported, at least temporarily, to 1950s Havana. Plus, the festive menu featuring the house mulled wine, mojitos, ropa vieja, jackfruit carnitas and tres leches set the tone for a festive fiesta to top them all.


The entire venue can be hired to host up to 80 dinner guests, while the leafy Palm Room hosts up to 36.

7. Head to this Soho venue for a Mediterranean Christmas dinner: Dehesa

Soho, London

Nestled in Soho’s Kingly Court is Dehesa, the laid-back tapas restaurant and bar. Bringing together influences from Northern Spain and Italy, this Soho venue offers a year-round relaxed atmosphere and a seasonal food and drinks menu – with favourites including the baby squid and the croquetas.


Come Christmas, Dehesa carries on the communal theme with a seasonal tapas menu, and a wines and cocktail list to put anyone in the merriest of moods. Offering a separate private dining room, head downstairs for an intimate Christmas dinner with up to 16 guests.
