A Fresh Take on Festive Dining in London

This Christmas, London’s dining scene is offering something a little different from the usual turkey and trimmings. For those keen to explore bold flavours and unforgettable experiences, three standout spots are ready to elevate your festive celebrations.

Thai Square is inviting guests to swap the traditional roast for a Thai-inspired feast. From Trafalgar Square to Windsor and St Albans, the restaurant’s Pre-Jubilee Christmas Menu is available from 15th November until 25th December 2025. The Trafalgar Square location is even open on Christmas Day, making it possible to enjoy a taste of Thailand with friends and family. Diners can choose from a four-course experience for £46 or a three-course menu without dessert for £41, all featuring a selection of the restaurant’s signature Thai dishes.

For seafood lovers, The Mayfair Chippy is offering festive specials that promise to keep the season fresh and flavoursome. With locations in Mayfair and Knightsbridge, it is perfectly placed for a well-earned break from Christmas shopping. The menu celebrates seasonal catches and inventive dishes that bring the magic of Christmas to the table without losing sight of hearty comfort.

Newly opened in Victoria, The Idler combines seasonal British ingredients with a touch of Mediterranean sophistication. Their elegant set Christmas menu captures the warmth of the season while providing a refined dining experience. Ideal for pre-theatre suppers, train journeys, or family and corporate celebrations, The Idler offers private dining rooms that make festive gatherings truly special.

Whether you are craving exotic spices, indulgent seafood, or elevated British classics, these three restaurants provide a fresh, exciting alternative to the conventional Christmas feast.
