If you want to throw a Christmas party with a difference this year, why not ditch the mulled wine and mince pies and opt instead for smoking barbecue fare?
At Big Easy Canary Wharf the scope for Christmas parties is nearly limitless. Bring in your nearest and dearest and sit them round the Captain’s Table, or book out the whole space for blow-out festive fun suited to big companies or large-scale entertaining with guestlists of up to 750 people. With the latter you’ll get use of the stage – perfect for a band – as well as IT equipment which you can use for presentations or screenings. To truly get everyone in the spirit of Christmas, you could add one of the venue’s tailored add-ons. Think cocktail masterclasses, barbecue demonstrations or wine tasting, and dancing space comes as standard.
For a mid-size soiree, the outdoor terrace at Canary Wharf proves an impressive venue. Here you’ll be able to accommodate up to 150 guests who will be treated to sweeping views of the financial district’s skyline. Setup for both rain and shine, this weatherproof option allows for a backdrop of twinkling lights while you enjoy the all-American menu.
Food-wise you can expect the best of the menu to be served up come Christmas. That means all your barbecue favourites, juicy fresh lobsters and some festive specials thrown in for good measure. From the main billing you can expect to pick between things like ribs, steaks and burgers, all served with sides of things such as coleslaw, babecue beans, cornbread or fries. If you’d prefer to keep things more dynamic and ditch the sit-down options, the team will happily provide sharing platters that allow for grazing. Think piles of nachos or bite-sized sliders.
Drinks are a fun mix of adult-only hard milkshakes plus frozen cocktails, wines and beers. Why not welcome everyone with a specially shaken cocktail before serving up wine, beer and spirtis throughout the night.
