In the midst of central London but with a neighbourhood feel, Fitzrovia is one of the capital's buzziest areas for food and drinks. It's here that you'll find Bennie, a modern restaurant and bar with snappy interiors, and globally-inspired food menu packed with crowd pleasers.
Whether you're based in Fitzrovia or just around central London in general, Bennie is the perfect answer to your Christmas party woes. The restaurant boasts a private room which has been designed to work for meetings as well as dinners, so you could spend the day here and finish some creative planning, before popping open a bottle to celebrate. This space is distinctive thanks to its patterned floor and distressed, concrete walls, punctuated with orange, statement lighting. Here, there's space for 12 people, or you could speak to the team about booking a larger table in the main restaurant.
When it comes to the menu there's plenty of ideas and options for your team to enjoy. For example, if you are combining a festive celebration with the working day, try out the business lunch offering which includes a main course of chicken Kiev with mashed potatoes and tomato salad or cauliflower steak with bean purée, a soft drink and the dessert of the day.
Or, while Christmas menus haven't been released yet, take a look at the main menu for other inspiration with starters like salmon skewers, beef tartar and crispy calamari. Main dishes might look like pork belly with sweet chilli sauce, beef ribs with potatoes and spatchcock chicken with cabbage. Bennie also boasts a delicious selection of burgers which are always a crowd pleaser, with some unique concoctions like the seabass burger and the truffle mushroom burger.
Another idea might be to embrace the bottomless brunch experience which gets you 90 minutes of free-flowing Prosecco, wine or beer, or even try out the afternoon tea which is lovely for an occasion.
