St James’s Park Menu is £80 per person and our Regent’s Park Menu is £100 per person. Canapés start from £20 per person, with drinks packages and wine pairings available if you’d like us to take care of those too.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Absolutely. We can cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other dietary or allergen requirements across our Christmas menus. Just let us know what you need when you confirm your guest numbers and our team will look after the rest.

Minimum spends vary depending on the room, date and time of your event. Our events team will include all the details, including any deposit required, in your proposal so everything is clear from the outset. Or view our brochure for the breakdown.
