Celebrate Christmas in style at No 1 Duke Street, a bright and modern neighbourhood bar and restaurant in the heart of Richmond. This independent venue is the perfect place to gather with friends, family or colleagues over the festive season, offering everything from shared parties to full exclusive hire.
The restaurant’s beautiful, understated decor makes it especially inviting in winter. Inside, the space feels elegant and warm, with white walls, wood panelling, and soft lighting that glows from candles and twinkling fairy lights. Industrial ceilings and a curved wraparound bar add a modern touch, while leather armchairs, an open fire and large windows create a cosy festive feel. The outdoor terrace is perfect for a pre-dinner drink, and the venue’s dog friendly policy adds to its relaxed, welcoming charm.
The Christmas set menu brings together classic flavours with a modern twist. Starters include roasted butternut squash soup or venison and brandy pate, followed by traditional roast turkey breast with all the trimmings, including pigs in blankets, stuffing and maple roasted vegetables. Other options include braised beef, fillet of sea bass or roasted celeriac, with sides like cauliflower cheese and extra pigs in blankets to share. Desserts range from Christmas pudding with brandy custard to chocolate orange cheesecake or mulled wine poached pear.
For a more informal gathering, festive party boards cater for ten guests and include meat and vegetarian sliders, squid, harissa potatoes, sesame crusted feta and cauliflower karaage. Guests can end with sweet treats like mince pies and mini chocolate and orange cheesecakes.
With its beautiful interiors, flexible packages and seasonal menu, No 1 Duke Street is the perfect place for a stylish and memorable Christmas celebration in Richmond.
