Located in Broadgate Circle, just behind Liverpool Street station, Bar Kroketa Broadgate puts its guests right in the buzzing centre of the City, making it an easy option for teams heading out straight from the office for their Christmas shindig.
This is Bar Kroketa’s largest and most ambitious site, and the space reflects that. There’s ample indoor seating alongside a terrace that looks out onto the square, giving parties the option to move between the two depending on the mood. This indoor-outdoor vibe also works well for the area, thanks to the post-work crowds who gather outside the surrounding bars and give Broadgate Circle its well-known atmosphere. Both the Terrace and indoor dining room are available for private Christmas party hire, with a max capacity of 80 and 100 guests respectively.
At the core of the experience are croquetas, one of Spain’s most-loved tapas and, in this case, the house speciality. Served fresh and in a variety of combinations, they are the key inspiration for the menu and designed for sharing. Options such as jamón with migas, wild garlic and Guinness reduction, or king prawn with torched prawn head alioli keep things varied, while vegetarian choices like wild and pickled mushrooms, or Monte Enebro and spinach bombons ensure there’s range across the table.
Alongside these, smaller plates round out the offering. Pan con tomate, padrón peppers, and selections of boquerones or Cantabrian anchovies sit alongside ibérico ham and cheese boards, making it easy to build a spread that suits different group sizes and appetites. It’s a format that works particularly well for Christmas parties, allowing everyone to jump in and get their hands dirty while socialising.
Drinks follow the same approach. Vermút, beer and wine sit alongside a creative cocktail list, with options like the Firebird Paloma (Ocho blanco tequila, pepper-chili-agave syrup, lime, grapefruit soda) or a spiced Combinado Americano adding something more distinctive. Everything is designed to be easy to order and easy to enjoy in a group setting.
