For a slice of Côte d’Azur in Mayfair, choose the Socca bistro for your next private dining experience. The restaurant, from Samyukta Nair and Claude Bosi, takes its inspiration from French-Provençal dishes and style, and pays particular attention to seasonality. There are a few spaces available for private dining at Socca, including the smaller Petit Salon, which can accommodate up to 26 of your guests for private dining, along with the larger main part of the restaurant. The space has a relaxed, elegant decor with art work on the walls and plush upholstered seating for you to cosy into.
For a slice of Provence, order the set menu which begins with options of ajo blanco with almonds and cantaloupe melon, the fried courgette flower with black garlic and goats curd, and mussels with basil mariniere. For your main, there are choices of French veal with traditional meatballs and tomato, grilled sea bream with sauce vierge and aubergine caponata paired with pine nuts and basil. Last but not least, dessert includes the iced menton lemon and choux à la crème tropezien.

Enjoy the prawn and lobster roll with cucumber and lettuce, duck rillette finger sandwiches with grain mustard and welsh lamb croquettes with mint and black olive for your savoury selection. The sweets include an Amalfi lemon swiss meringue pie, pairing of British strawberry with vanilla custard and cream, and chocolate crèmeux choquette.
