Lucia’s chefs have put together a Christmas menu inspired by traditional festive favourites with a modern Italian twist. You’ll have the option to choose between two or three courses, and all Christmas party bookings include bespoke handmade crackers and personalised place setting cards. Starters span black caviar, smoked salmon and trout on a bed of crushed potatoes with tomato and caper dressing, or chicken liver pate with crostini bread and red onion chutney.
For main course, choose between turkey escalope wrapped in prosciutto with pigs in blankets, cabbage and chestnut gravy, or braised beef with mashed potato and parsnip crisps. All mains are served with extra roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips and sprouts. Finally, dessert includes Christmas pudding with brandy cream, chocolate brownie with vanilla gelato, and biscotti cheesecake, to name a few.
Add sparkling or Champagne to your meal to complete the experience, or choose something from Lucia’s extensive Italian wine list. The restaurant is also known for its creative cocktails, so you might like to start your evening with a special welcome drink to get everyone in the festive spirit!
