If you’re looking for a unique Christmas party venue, Feng Shang Princess is an excellent choice. Just a short walk from central London, and floating on the canal next to Regent's Park, this authentic Chinese restaurant claims to be ‘London's best kept secret’, providing locals and tourists with a taste of classic Chinese fare, showcasing everything from Cantonese to Szechuan style dishes. The iconic hand-crafted exterior of Feng Shang Princess is designed to emulate a traditional pagoda with a deep red façade and twinkling lanterns giving off a warming glow along the canal. So, why not treat yourself and your guests to a festive bash onboard this quirky venue?
There are three floors within the Feng Shang Princess, and you can either hire just one floor for a more intimate affair, or plump for exclusive hire to gain access to the whole boat, including the long bar on the top floor. The interiors exude a quiet luxury with red carpet, black leather seats and candlelit tables draped in white tablecloths - a comfortable setting for your not-so-traditional Christmas meal.
The extensive a la carte menu boasts plenty of choice, from familiar favourites to more unusual traditional dishes you may not find in other Chinese restaurants in the capital. The menu lends itself to sharing so you and your guests can try a bit of everything, and enjoy a relaxed evening of food, wine and festive vibes. Start off with some juicy dim sum or classic appetisers like satay chicken and prawn toast, before moving on to the always-popular crispy duck course. Dig into meat, fish and vegetable mains accompanied by a series of rice and noodle dishes. All this pairs well with the global wine list which also includes plenty of Champagnes, perfect for a special Christmas toast.
