Looking for a Christmas party venue in Southampton with an impressively large capacity? Texan BBQ-inspired eatery Red Dog Saloon can host groups of up to 150 for a festive dinner, or 300 people standing.
Perfect for big bashes and all-company events, the restaurant welcomes festive bookings this December, with exclusive hire of the whole restaurant. The team are on hand to help create your perfect Christmas party, whether it's a standing reception with welcome cocktails, drinks and easy-to-share bites, or a full-on sit down meal.
Your guests will no doubt love the menu, which is influenced by the BBQ scene of America's Deep South. Starting with welcome drinks, there's some creative, crowdpleasing options here from every kind of Margarita you could imagine - including strawberry and mint, white coffee and Le Royal - to Pisco and Cherry Mash Sours, as well as classics like Espresso and Pornstar Martinis. For those looking for alcohol-free alternatives, there's frozen custard malt shakes and iced tea.
The main menu is all about meats cooked low and slow with Southern spicing. To start, you could organise some roving bites or sharing plates for your guests, with appetisers like fried squid, chicken caeser bites with garlic and parmesan, as well as barbecue empanadas with chimichurri sauce. Wings are another sure-fire hit - also available as cauliflower or boneless - smothered in the likes of Nashville hot, garlic parm, Korean and buffalo.
The Hickory Smoked Barbeque section is also a crowd pleaser and works particularly well for large groups. The trays, for example, are served with fries, onion, rings, tater tots, Texas toast, 'slaw and pickles, alongside options like hot links with South Carolina mustard, pork belly burnt ends with Dr Pepper glaze, and USDA brisket with original BBQ sauce. There's also plenty of burger options so be prepared to get stuck into The Sando, PB and J or Pepperoni Pounder. If you're after a Christmas party venue where food and drink takes centre stage, there's more than enough to keep everyone merry and bright at Red Dog Saloon.
