NYE Early Dinner

For those looking for an early soirée, we will serve a four-course menu for those visiting us between 6 pm and 7 pm. Be welcomed with a glass of Champagne before indulging in a decadently appropriate spread.

This early evening menu is packed with classics from Richard Corrigan’s culinary career, including his signature Lobster Ravioli with Shelfish sauce, Dover Sole with lashings of Beurre Blanc and an extra special Apple Tart Tatin, to name a few. Not to mention Petit Fours to round the experience off.

NYE Dinner & Fireworks

As the clock ticks closer to midnight, experience a New Year’s Eve like no other. Revel in a four-course feast developed especially for the occasion by Chef Richard Corrigan and is appropriately indulgent, with classics such as Lobster Raviolo, a Beurre Blanc dressed Dover Sole, and a wild Venison Wellington served with Madeira Jus. You will also enjoy welcome Champagne and canapés, petit fours, and ‘Champagne at the Bells’ at the stroke of midnight.

The ambience is elevated by live music, and the pièce de résistance is the unmatched view of London’s mesmerising firework display from our panoramic window.
