If you’re looking for a Christmas party venue in London that offers something more exciting than the usual turkey and trimmings, Duck & Rice Battersea is a festive destination with flair. Found at Battersea Power Station, the restaurant combines the convivial charm of an English pub with the bold, aromatic flavours of Cantonese cooking, bringing a new dimension to Christmas dining.
Duck & Rice was founded by restaurateur Alan Yau, the visionary behind several of London’s most iconic Asian restaurants, and in Battersea, the kitchen is led by Chef Hoong, whose expertise ensures each dish is crafted with authenticity and precision. The space itself is as memorable as the food: a zinc-topped bar takes centre stage, moody lighting sets the tone, and booth seating and ambient interiors create a warm and welcoming environment for festive dining.
Christmas parties can be booked on a shared or exclusive basis, with options ranging from intimate gatherings in the private dining room to large celebrations across the restaurant for up to 185 guests. Menus are designed for sharing, echoing Chinese family traditions, and provide a refreshing twist on the festive feast. Expect dishes such as crispy aromatic duck, pork and prawn shumai, lobster Cantonese, venison puffs and black bean steamed sea bass, alongside vegetarian favourites like goji berry and spinach dumplings or bean curd rolls. Sweet finales include indulgent black coconut ice cream and other seasonal treats.
The drinks menu keeps the mood lively with Asian-inspired cocktails like the Su Zinger and Lychee Express, as well as wines, beers and mocktails. For corporate Christmas dinners, family gatherings or nights out with friends, Duck & Rice Battersea delivers a Christmas party venue that balances festive spirit with originality and style.
