In charge of planning the Christmas party this year but want to steer clear of yet another roast turkey and trimmings? Celebrate the festive season with some of the best seafood the British Isles has to offer, all used to showcase the beauty of Italian cuisine and its simplicity in letting key ingredients sing. Decorated throughout with a nautical theme, it still manages to keep a contemporary feel with chic blue and white stripe seating, a large open dining room with an option for booths, and low-lit lighting to add to the atmosphere.
The menu offers a selection of high quality seafood dishes from antipasti like fritto misto and indulgent seafood platters to options such as red prawn carbonara and chargrilled native lobster. For those coming in larger groups though, you can tuck into set menus that are available at various prices, and are available from brunch through to dinner. The wine list is equally as opulent with a number of fine wines from across the globe, but a strong focus on Italy - think top quality prosecco, full bodied Barolo, and Chardonnay from Langhe.
Depending on the size of your group, there are a few options on how you can celebrate at Azzurra. The restaurant can be exclusively hired with space for up to 100 guests seated or 200 standing, lending itself well to both sit down feasts and canape parties when all you need is a nibble and free-flowing drinks. For those looking to book something a little more intimate, the private dining room can host up to 16 guests and provides some seclusion from the buzz of the main restaurant. For those in groups of 8 or less, you can choose from the main menu, whilst larger groups will be able to dine off of the set menus.
