If you’re after a Christmas party that ditches the formal wear and turns up the flavour, Red Dog Saloon Hoxton is calling. Located in buzzing Hoxton Square, just minutes from Old Street Station, this East London hotspot is your go-to for festive feasting with a Southern twist: think smoked meats, bold cocktails, and a party atmosphere that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Red Dog’s Christmas party offering is all about bringing people together over proper, hearty food. The festive menu takes traditional elements and gives them a Red Dog makeover, imagine hickory-smoked turkey breast, hot honey pork belly, and prime rib beef, served family-style alongside swine in blankets, Yukon roasties, and even mushrooms on toast with chives. Starters like a classic prawn cocktail or panko-fried Camembert with redcurrant port jelly set the tone, while sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream rounds things off in rich, indulgent style.
Whether you're organising a sit-down meal with colleagues or a full-blown festive bash with friends, there’s a space to suit. Upstairs, the main restaurant channels American saloon energy with its exposed brickwork, loaded burgers, and craft beer selection. But for something more exclusive, head downstairs to Louie’s, Red Dog’s basement events venue. With space for up to 70 seated or 180 standing, a private bar, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and its own entrance, it’s ideal for private parties, brand takeovers, or late-night dancing fuelled by brisket and bourbon.
Red Dog’s team can help with menu planning, drinks packages and general merrymaking, and while they don’t supply DJs or bands, you’re welcome to bring your own and you're welcome to use their high-tech lights and sound system and turn Louie’s into your very own festive club night.
With generous portions, smoky flavours, and laid-back charm, Christmas at Red Dog Saloon Hoxton is anything but traditional, which is exactly why East Londoners love it!
