Located in the Young Vic theatre, just minutes from Southwark and Waterloo East stations, The Cut Bar is a buzzy all-day bar and restaurant with a reputation for brilliantly festive bistro food. It’s a large restaurant with a mezzanine floor and long communal tables, suited to all manner of Christmas party groups from corporate events and end-of-year company celebrations to family gatherings and meet ups with friends.
The ambience here is unsurprisingly artistic, but it’s also sophisticated and inviting, showcasing design elements that complement its position within the theatre. Interiors here feature an astute blend of modern comfort and rustic elements to create a warm environment perfect for celebrating the winter season. There are several options for Christmas party hire, including shared parties, allowing groups to occupy dedicated areas within the restaurant and bar or take over the venue in its entirety. Options include the main bar area and several other sections that can be adapted to the size and needs of your group.
When it comes to festive menus at The Cut Bar, there are several options all of them revolving around seasonal fare and quality produce. For standing reception and cocktail events, The Cut Bar offers a canape menu offering Iberico ham and mushroom croquettes, mini Yorkshire puddings with pulled beef and gravy, and cod cheeks with miso mayo and nori dust. One of the brilliant things about Christmas parties at The Cut Bar is the kitchen’s ability to cater to all allergies and dietary restrictions, offering vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free canapes.
For sit down festive dining, The Cut Bar also offers Christmas set menus available for pre-order. At an eminently reasonable price point, dinners here might start with beef carpaccio, follow on with mains of Norfolk turkey, and conclude with an indulgent eggnog brulee served with shortbread.
