If you’re looking to take the stress out of Christmas, Roka Aldwych is the place to go - this world famous restaurant group is synonymous with slick service, sleek, modern locations and a menu that even the pickiest eater couldn’t help but love.
Roka is well-known for its sophisticated contemporary restaurant design and Roka Aldwych is a beauty, featuring counters and bars carved out of porphyry stone, counterpointed with solid oak chairs, plus banquettes along the walls and stained grey timber throughout. As is often the case, the robata grill forms the symbolic heart of the restaurant both in layout and on the menu.
Christmas bookings at Roka can look into hiring a semi-private space in the main restaurant, or private hire of the adjoining lounge which can be set up in various formats. Groups of up to 16 can sit along a long banqueting table in the main dining room and soak up the fun atmosphere of Roka, or if you’re planning something a little more private, the Roka Aldwych lounge features three long dining tables and comfy banquettes, with room for up to 36 guests. Christmas parties booking the lounge also have direct access to the bar.
