Christmas at The Rubens at the Palace includes options for everyone. Whether you’re celebrating an intimate dinner for two or a celebration with the whole family, this central London hotel offers a five-star line-up of festive food, drink and fun! Christmas in London is a beautiful thing, and where better to celebrate it than at a luxurious hotel located right next to Buckingham Palace?
For smaller occasions over the festive period, The Rubens at the Palace offers intimate private dining options perfect for celebrating with friends, family or colleagues. All its restaurants and bars are available for private hire, including the traditional English Grill, its exquisite Curry Room, a cosy lounge and New York bar.
There are also set and bespoke menus on offer depending on which space you pick. For example, the Festive Curry package is available in its unique Curry Room, with guests able to enjoy a three-course Indian-inspired lunch or dinner. The Festive Curry package also includes a welcome glass of Champagne, half a bottle of wine per person, crackers and party hats, place cards and more.
There are also options suited to those who prefer a more traditional British Christmas. Its Festive Christmas package includes all of the above, plus a classic three-course festive meal. Starters feature smoked chicken and ham hock terrine with mustard, kohlrabi and apple salad, while mains include a roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings. For pudding, expect its homemade Rubens Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.
There is also a Festive Reception package available if you’d like to host a more relaxed standing event. This can be hosted in the stunning Leopard Bar overlooking the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace, or one of its private dining rooms, and includes an array of finger, fork and bowl food, a DJ and entertainment. All food is served street-food style and includes the likes of a fish and chips roll with curry sauce, a Christmas bap filled with turkey, stuffing, slaw and bacon, as well as curry wurst sliders with onion bhajis and coriander mayonnaise.
