Christmas lunch on Christmas day.


Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a place for Christmas lunch on Christmas day? I have parents coming down from Glasgow and a small flat with hardly enough room to swing a turkey. I'd like to take them out but am balking at the £180 a head I have been quoted by Gordon Ramsay at Claridges. Any ideas.

Cheers.

Hotels are your best bet, as they have to keep their kitchens open to feed guests, and you should be able to do much better price-wise than Claridges. I had some wonderful Christmas Day lunches at the sadly missed L'Auberge de Provence at the St James's hotel.

The Brasserie Roux at the Sofitel St James's is not bad, and the prices are reasonable. Like other hotels, it should be open on the 25th.
