Celebrate the countdown to Christmas with a seasonal lunch at Tate Britain or Tate Modern. The distinctive menus - from regional British at Tate Britain's Rex Whistler restaurant, to light and fresh fusion at Tate Modern - are complemented by wines specially selected by Sommelier, Hamish Anderson.
Admire Rex Whistler's famous hunting mural at Tate Britain while savouring the rich wintry flavours of roast parsnip soup with honey créme fraîche, three-bird roast with Hampshire watercress and game chips, and chocolate and chestnut parfait.
Or lighten up the winter days with spectacular views of St Paul's and the City of London from Tate Modern's top floor restaurant - the perfect backdrop to enjoy fresh, modern dishes such as home-cured gravadlax with potato blinis and pickled cucumber, poached halibut in red wine with salsify purée and a white chocolate mousse with cranberry sauce.
And if your gathering is growing, Tate Modern's Café 2 is the perfect place, welcoming groups of up to 60. With set menus ranging from £17-£33.95 a trip to Tate is the perfect excuse to kick off the festive season. To book, call 020 7887 8888.
