The most wonderful time of year is beloved for many a joyful activity, though none are quite so indulgent as a luxurious meal. Add a uniquely local touch to your Christmas get-togethers this year with 20 Berkeley’s exclusive festive menu celebrating the very best of British craft and produce.

Located in the heart of Mayfair, the modern British grill is plating up some truly decadent dishes curated by executive chef Ben Orpwood. Indulge in some choice Oscietra caviar to begin, before moving onto starters of delectable Montgomery cheddar cheese dumplings or pumpkin ‘fritti’ with English mustard and grated Hafod cheese. And while the starters are delicious, be sure to leave room for mains of 28-day aged beef fillet served with truffle mash or roasted sprouts spiced with nduja. For the pescatarians, the menu also includes a selection of fine fish, including Monkfish tail, turbot steak and John Dory, all cooked over live embers.

No holiday meal is complete without a signature tipple and 20 Berkeley has that more than covered. Two specially crafted cocktails grace the menu: the Spiced Apple features whisky, spiced honey, seasonal spiced apples, sweet woodruff, and wild apple soda while the Mulled Berries cocktail is made with dry gin, spiced blackberry spirit, sloe gin, gooseberry aperitif, hogweed, Cornish chamomile and vault forest vermouth. Both concoctions are aromatic and bursting with holiday flavours.
