Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and perhaps one of the most magical to pay a visit to Vivat Bacchus. This Farringdon restaurant and wine bar focuses on bringing you a taste of South Africa, through beautiful dishes, expertly sourced bottles and charming decor. Why not book your corporate celebration at Vivat Bacchus this festive season, or perhaps an intimate Christmas catch-up with brilliant South African wines.
Whatever the cause for celebration – but let’s face it, you don’t really need one at Christmas – Vivat Bacchus is a wonderful setting. The restaurant is located to some of London's major train and underground stations, along with being positioned extremely close by the City of London, so your guests will have no trouble catching a ride home. With so many delicious wines to choose from, sourced for their varying flavours and budgets, any wine buffs in attendance will be impressed with your choice of venue. Speaking of wine buffs, Christmas parties at Vivat Bacchus are the perfect chance to enjoy magnums or double magnums. If you’re really looking to impress, bring out the big guns with a six litre methusala or nine litre salmanazar!
The festive menu is a set price per person, making it easy to plan for when you've got a large group. Starters include aubergine sosaties with an apricot glaze, smoked snoek fish pate with pickled cranberries and rooibos smoked lamb carpaccio. The main dishes feature South African takes on beloved festive classics. Think British turkey breast with boerewors stuffing and cranberry sauce. Each main dish is served with plenty of honey roasted carrots, parsnips and swede, brussel sprouts with pancetta and new roast new potatoes. A chocolate fridge tart, koeksisters and peppermint crisp tart are the three simple yet delectable options on the dessert list.
