Discover the Complete 2025 Christmas Set Menu

Unlike the major high-street brands where mass production is the norm, our kitchen prepares every dish fresh on-site. For £69.99 per person, you can enjoy a three-course indulgent feast including a glass of Prosecco on arrival to toast the season.

Traditional Roast Turkey Prepared with an Italian Twist

We know that for many, a Christmas lunch or dinner in London isn't complete without the turkey. We stayed true to the tradition, but applied a level of detail that transforms the standard roast into something special.

• The Roast: Expect succulent turkey served with all the classic trimmings - roasted root vegetables, pigs in blankets, and rich gravy - but prepared with seasoning that only an Italian kitchen can provide.

Freshly Made Pasta Options for a Mediterranean Feast

It wouldn't be 40 Dean Street without our signature pasta. For those who want to trade the turkey for something more Mediterranean, our festive menu features our most requested dishes:

• Lobster Ravioli: Our legendary house speciality. Fresh pasta filled with sweet lobster meat in a rich shellfish bisque. It’s the dish that keeps our regulars returning year after year.

• Vegetarian Option: We also offer a rich, delicious vegetarian dish; Risotto with porcini mushroom, roasted butternut squash, asparagus and walnuts ensuring everyone at the table enjoys a main course worthy of the occasion.

Indulgent Italian Desserts to Complete Your Meal

Forget the heavy, store-bought Christmas puddings. Our dessert list is designed to leave you just the right amount of full:

• Warm Panettone: A seasonal staple at 40 Dean Street. Light, airy panettone served warm alongside rum and raisin ice cream.

• Dessert Favourites: Choose from a zesty Lemon Tart for a refreshing finish, or a rich, melting Chocolate Fondant.

Christmas Eve Opening Times and Lunch Service Details

For those planning to celebrate right before the big day, we are hosting a specific Christmas Eve service.

On December 24th, our Christmas Set Menu is available from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

This is the perfect time to enjoy a relaxed Christmas lunch in London with friends or family. It allows you to soak up the vibrant Soho atmosphere while the streets are buzzing with excitement, then finish your meal with ample time to travel home before the evening.

Experience the Festive Atmosphere of Soho this December

Soho is truly unique during the holidays. The famous lights of Carnaby Street are just a short walk away, and the energy of the theatre district is right on our doorstep. A Christmas lunch in London at 40 Dean Street puts you in the centre of the action, allowing you to enjoy a long, leisurely meal before exploring the festive window displays on Regent Street.

How to Secure Your Reservation 

While some venues operate on a "turn up and hope" basis, we believe your Christmas celebration is too important to leave to chance.

Reservations are essential. Because we are a small, intimate venue in the centre of Soho, our tables for November and December fill up quickly.

• Online Booking: For groups of up to 5 people, you can secure your table instantly via our website.

• Larger Groups: For parties of 6 or more, please call us directly. We want to ensure we can arrange the best seating configuration for your group to dine together comfortably.

• Timing: The festive menu runs throughout the season all day long, with the specific 12pm - 4pm sitting on Christmas Eve.

Ready to celebrate? Spaces for our 2025 Christmas season are limited. Reserve your table today and make this year’s festive lunch one to remember.
