If you're on the hunt for somewhere fun-filled to host a Christmas party, look no further than Big Easy Westfield Stratford, which combines smoky American barbecue and fresh seafood with cocktails and live music. You'll find the Stratford location within Westfield Shopping Centre.
Big Easy has built a reputation for serving proper American barbecue, and at Christmas the restaurant lays on bespoke barbecue platters for large groups of festive revellers. Christmas menus include range from the meat-fest 'Bar.B.Q Blow-out' with dry-rubbed pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings and turkey breast with Christmas trimmings, to the 'Seafood Deluxe', which lays on deep-fried calamari, roasted Canadian lobster, whole shrimp, mac and cheese, and crab claws. All Christmas menus come with comforting desserts to finish, including warm apple Brown Betty with bourbon custard, s'mores, and ice cream.
The restaurant itself is big, with room to house up to 250 guests across two floors, as well as an extensive terrace area available for anyone who wants to catch a bit of fresh air in the middle of festivities. Individual areas can be hired for smaller groups - the bar area can be hired for up to 50 seated guests for a Christmas dinner, or up to 80 standing for a drinks party or similar. The ground floor has capacity for up to 80, and the first floor can accommodate 110 guests.
Meanwhile, the Big Easy events team can organise fun activities for the group, ranging from cocktail making classes with Big Easy's mixologists, to a full-blown barbecue pit masterclass with the in-house pitmasters. Drinks are free-flowing too, and Big Easy offers good-value pre-order drinks packages, buckets of ciders and craft beers, to wines, to jugs of cocktails. Whatever you want Christmas to be, it's guaranteed to be a good time at Big Easy.
