Christmas always comes by in a flash: one minute you’re helping yourself to your first mince pie of the season, the next it’s January and depression had replaced spiced fruit. And so it’s important to be festive as possible, as much as possible. This is achieved by way of various lunches and/or dinners. Congregate with friends, order wine and admire various plates piled high with turkey, glazed ham and roast potatoes — though meals don’t always need to be wholly traditional.
Here are 12 London restaurants putting on good Christmas menus and dishes. Time to fatten up before December 25, isn’t it?
