What We Are Seeing for Christmas 2026

A few things shaping festive events this year…

Comfort food, but elevated

Familiar dishes, just done really well.

See below our ‘Prawn Cocktail’ and ‘Chicken Kiev’.

More movement, less sitting still

Guests want to explore, graze and go back for seconds and thirds.

Global flavours coming through

A bit of spice, a bit of punch, something unexpected alongside the classics.

See below our ‘Pork Belly Bao’ and our ‘Gochujang Prawn Toast’.

Nostalgia with a twist

Old school favourites reworked with better ingredients and a bit more theatre.

See below our take on a Black Forest gateau and fish and chips.

A more considered kind of indulgence

Still rich, still festive, just with a bit more balance

See below our, line-caught in Cornwall, tuna tartare and our ex-dairy beef fillet.

And above all

Food as part of the atmosphere, not just the menu
