If your idea of a Christmas party includes a little glamour, exceptional food and the chance to keep the celebrations going long into the night, Grosvenor Casino The Victoria offers a festive venue with a difference. Affectionately known as 'The Vic', this Marylebone institution has been entertaining Londoners since the 1960s and, following a £15 million refurbishment, combines its legendary gaming heritage with stylish dining, contemporary interiors and an atmosphere made for celebrating.
Conveniently located in central London, The Vic is an easy meeting point for colleagues and friends travelling from across the capital. Whether you're planning an office Christmas dinner, client event or festive gathering, the venue offers far more than the traditional restaurant experience. Guests can enjoy a leisurely meal before trying their luck on the gaming floor, relaxing with cocktails or soaking up the lively atmosphere that has made the casino one of London's best-known entertainment destinations.
Following its extensive transformation, the dining room serves an internationally inspired menu with distinctive Middle Eastern influences, creating a festive feast that feels a little more exciting than the usual turkey and trimmings.
To start, indulge in fresh oysters served with citrus-soy dressing, smoked spiced tuna cones with habanero oil and coriander mayonnaise, or rich red wine braised beef cheeks accompanied by celeriac purée, wild mushrooms and crispy kale.
Main courses continue the indulgence with pan-roasted halibut on a creamy spinach and porcini mushroom risotto, while grilled and roasted poussin is finished with a pomegranate glaze and served alongside spiced aubergine pilaf. Those looking to really celebrate can choose from premium Australian Wagyu steaks or elevate the evening further with surf and turf, adding butter-poached lobster tail or grilled king prawns.
Beyond dinner, the celebrations don't have to end. The casino floor, stylish bars and outdoor terrace provide plenty of opportunities to continue the evening, whether that's enjoying cocktails, watching live sport or experiencing the excitement of the tables.
