Christmas at The Cavendish sees this relaxed Marylebone pub transformed into a magically festive setting for seasonal celebrations. Just off Marylebone High Street, its exterior is dressed with evergreens, wreaths and fairy lights, while an iconic Christmas tree decorated with red bows sets the scene for everything from family lunches and drinks with friends to corporate Christmas parties.
The festivities continue inside, with twinkling lights and seasonal decorations running throughout the two-storey pub. Traditional wooden floors and banquet tables are offset by modern chandelier lighting, while a dark wraparound bar lined with red leather stools creates a cosy spot for drinks. There’s also an outdoor terrace equipped with heaters and blankets for crisp winter evenings.
Groups have plenty of flexibility when it comes to food. The Cavendish offers Christmas a la carte, canape and set menus, alongside all-in packages for easy party planning. The festive a la carte menu features oysters and fig toast to start, followed by contemporary European dishes such as pan-fried cod and confit Hispi cabbage, or traditional roast turkey with pigs in blankets, roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Christmas pudding with hot custard, chocolate pudding and a cheese plate provide suitably indulgent finishes.
For larger Christmas parties, the set menu takes care of the details with an amuse-bouche followed by starter, main and dessert. More informal celebrations can opt for Christmas canapes spanning meat, seafood and vegetarian choices, alongside sliders and sharing boards. Miniature lemon meringue tarts and triple chocolate brownies add something sweet.
At the bar, expect pints of lager and IPA, an extensive wine selection, spirits and signature seasonal cocktails, alongside alcohol-free drinks. Dogs are welcome too, making The Cavendish a particularly inviting spot for relaxed festive gatherings in central London.
