About The Anthologist

Looking for a Christmas party venue in the City of London? The Anthologist offers a lively and flexible setting for festive celebrations, whether you are planning an intimate dinner or a large office-wide party.

The venue can be hired exclusively for up to 220 guests dining or 650 standing, while half-venue hire accommodates around 100 seated or 200 standing, offering flexibility for mid-sized events. For smaller gatherings, a range of more intimate spaces are available, including the Panel Room, Snug and Private Dining Room, while the Chef’s Table seats just eight guests for a more personal experience. Mixo can host cocktail-making sessions for up to nine people at one time. 

Christmas bookings are supported by all-in packages, with options for set menu dining, drinks packages and more informal food offerings. The festive set menu includes starters such as roasted pumpkin soup or beetroot-cured salmon, followed by mains including roast turkey with all the trimmings, braised ox cheek, sirloin steak or potato gnocchi. Desserts feature options such as mince pie cheesecake, sticky toffee pudding, Christmas pudding or chocolate truffle torte, with the option to add a cheese platter.

For a more relaxed approach, bowl food and canape-style menus are available, with bite-sized versions of festive favourites such as mini fish and chips, tandoori chicken skewers or wild mushroom arancini, alongside festive bowls like roast turkey with trimmings. Sweet options include mini mince pies and dessert bowls.

Drinks packages include wines, beers and champagne, alongside festive cocktails such as mistletoe margaritas and Christmapolitans, as well as warming options like mulled wine. Additional extras include cocktail or gin stations, cheese and charcuterie stations, dessert installations and entertainment such as DJs or photo booths.

With a dedicated events team and a space for every style of celebration, The Anthologist is well suited to festive events with friends, family or colleagues.
