News & events

Think of Christmas and several things spring to mind - snow, presents and a big fat man dressed in red. But you also think about food, right? And lots of it!

In Seven Dials there's a veritable feast of festive fare (with a twist) on offer this Christmas, so there's no chance of going hungry whilst your shopping for gifts in Covent Garden's shopping village.

If you're a clever clogs and have finished your gift shopping already and just looking for a place to get stuffed like a turkey and as tipsy as your Nan on sherry, this West End hot spot is the perfect place to host a Christmas get together with friends, family or work colleagues. The seven streets around the infamous Seven Dials monument cater for all tastes, budgets and party plans.

Pick your venue, book your table, eat, drink and be merry and celebrate Christmas in Seven Dials style this December.

Detroit

If you're looking for somewhere to have a drink and nibble with a big bunch of work mates or posse of pals you haven't seen in ages, then head to the cosy cavernous Detroit Bar on Earlham Street. They're serving bargain bar snacks (priced from £6 per head) which you can wash down with two for one classic cocktails for just £8 before 7pm.

There's bound to be some action under the mistletoe after indulging in one too many of their bartenders' recipe recommendations - try the Twinkle which marries vodka and prosecco in perfect quantities, and your party is bound to sparkle!

Kitchen Italia

Warm the cockles with hearty traditional Italian grub with a nod to traditional Christmas Dinner at Kitchen Italia on Earlham Street. Their Christmas Menu includes delights such as Pigs in Pancetta Blankets to start, Turkey Ravioli with a Sage Cream Sauce for the main event, rounded off with Tiramisu if you have any room left for desert!

Every customer dining from the Christmas Menu can enjoy a glass of house white or red wine plus bread and olives on the house! Two courses is a reasonable £19.95, or go the full hog and have three courses with all the trimmings for £24.95 per head.

Kitchen Italia is the perfect aperitif to line the stomach before a night on the tiles with your closest girl friends or for a laid back family gathering after you've seen London's famous festive light displays, including the snowy display casting a warm glow throughout Seven Dials.

Souk

Looking for a last minute party venue to host a rowdy crowd for Secret Santa fun and a spot of belly dancing thrown in for good measure? The opulent Souk Medina, located on Shorts Gardens, is the place to forget about the cold winter temperatures and party in Seven Dials' very own piece of Morocco.
