There’s nowhere better than Soho at Christmas time - with its sparkling lights and infectious festive atmosphere - and ALTA sits right in the heart of it all. Situated in a buzzy pocket of Kingly Court, the restaurant offers a finely-tuned take on Spanish cuisine, centred around live-fire cooking, innovative small plates and generous grills to share - because who said Christmas has to be limited to Brussels sprouts?
Spanning two floors, the restaurant offers a variety of private spaces for Christmas parties. For intimate, sit-down dinners of up to 12 guests, the private dining room is a beautiful setting, with guests invited to dine around one large wooden table. Alternatively, the wine room is perfect for drinks-led occasions, paired with pintxos-style canapes and dedicated service. For larger parties, the main dining room is also available to hire, offering plenty of space for big groups looking to host family-style dinners and lively festive parties.
When it comes to food, choose from a selection of family-style set menus for a group sit-down meal or a pintxos-inspired selection for more casual snacking. ALTA swaps traditional Christmas turkey for a whole roasted suckling pig (or sea bream) accompanied by a vibrant array of Spanish small plates, including wild Atlantic prawns with lardo, red pepper carpaccio with goat’s cheese and yellowtail crudo with grape. Alternatively, pintxos options feature Iberico and smoked cheddar croquettes, house txistorra and oysters in tomato water.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a tipple (or two) and ALTA offers an impressive selection of premium wines, crafted cocktails and thoughtful non-alcoholic options. You can even continue the festive celebrations at MOI (ALTA’s sister restaurant, just a five-minute walk away) where you’ll find a Japanese-inspired listening bar, DJ sets and more. Every event at ALTA is entirely bespoke - simply speak to the team and start planning your dream Christmas party.
