About 10-11 Carlton House Terrace

For a stylish and versatile Christmas party venue in central London, {10-11} Carlton House Terrace is certainly a good candidate. This stunning Grade I-listed Georgian Townhouse, nestled in the very heart of Westminster, is well-equipped to host Christmas parties of 30 to 200. The venue works with top-tier suppliers, so you can choose from a range of buffet, dinner, reception and party packages. So, whether you’re looking for an intimate and festive private dining room, or a grand setting for an evening reception of drinks and dancing, {10-11} Carlton House Terrace likely has exactly what you’re looking for.

The main festive dinner package comes with everything you could possibly need: two rooms until 11 pm, a glass of bubbly on arrival, a three-course dinner, half a bottle of wine per person, tea, coffee, mince pies, Christmas crackers, festive music, poseur tables and linen, a manned cloakroom and an hour of post-dinner drinks. While the menu changes year to year, guided by what produce is freshest, you can expect three courses of hearty and elegant British fare. You and your guests might start with a warming cauliflower and chestnut soup or perhaps pressed ham hock with Bramley chutney, chicory and rye toast.

Taking centre stage during the meal will likely be Norfolk Bronze turkey, served with fondant potato, pigs in blankets, roasted parsnip, glazed carrots, fried truffle and Brussel sprouts. Pescetarians might enjoy Scottish salmon with charred sprouting broccoli and crushed purple potatoes, while the veggie option might be a pumpkin and sweet potato nut roast with baked cauliflower, red pepper, onion puree and parsley oil. Finish off with a plum and Amaretto Christmas pudding, topped with nutmeg sauce and winter berries. Packages are also available for buffets and receptions, with both canapes and bowl food options available, as well as add-ons like a DJ, extended room hire or extra nibbles.
