Why book a set menu for Christmas in London?
December is the month the set menu was made for. A fixed price per head settles the bill before anyone arrives, a shorter menu keeps a table of ten moving, and the kitchen cooks what it does best rather than what it can plate fastest.
The restaurants below publish a Christmas menu of their own, priced and dated for the season. Venues name it differently, a Festive Set Menu at one and a Menu de Noël at another, and each is listed here as the restaurant sells it. Festive menus open for booking the day a restaurant publishes them, months before the first sitting, so all of these are taking reservations now. After them come restaurants with no Christmas menu but a fixed-price dinner all year, which books just as well for a party in December.
Which London restaurants have a Christmas set menu in 2026?
27 restaurants on All Set publish a Christmas menu of their own for 2026, priced £29.95 to £90 a head. Each is listed with that menu's price and courses, and the dates it runs where the restaurant gives them, Michelin kitchens first and then by price. Every one links to its own page with the full menu and a direct booking link.

When is Christmas 2026?
The party season runs from the second half of November to the 23rd of December 2026. Christmas Day falls on Friday, 25 December 2026.
How much is a Christmas set menu in London in 2026?
The 27 festive set menus listed here cost £29.95 to £90 a head for two or three courses. The cheapest is Bill's at £29.95. The price is fixed per head before anyone sits down, and each figure is read off the restaurant's own festive menu rather than a listing site.
Can you book a Christmas set menu for two people?
Yes, at most of the restaurants here. Where a Christmas menu is sold to parties of a set size, its listing gives the number of guests it takes, so a table of two and an office party can each see which menus are theirs to book.
When should you book a Christmas set menu in London?
As soon as the menu is published. Restaurants open festive bookings months before the first sitting, and the earliest here starts serving on 2 November. Evenings in the first three weeks of December fill first; a weekday lunch is the easiest Christmas sitting to book late.
How were these restaurants chosen?
Every restaurant here is listed on All Set, where each set menu is verified against the restaurant's own published menu rather than an aggregator. The list is generated from the live catalogue, so it grows as new set dinners are added and drops any menu that stops being served. Where a restaurant publishes a Christmas menu, the price, courses and dates are that menu's; where it does not, they are those of its year-round set menu.
