It might be an American holiday, but there are plenty of places to celebrate in London on the 27th November! Here’s a few suggestions…
Red Dog Saloon: available from the 24th November at all its venues in Hoxton Square, Soho, and Finsbury Park, the American themed restaurant has plenty on its menu to ensure that you get into the Thanksgiving spirit. This includes the Tennessee Platter, which includes St. Louis cut pork ribs, Nashville hot chicken tenders, pieces, and wings. Or how about sampling its Christmas burger which is formed of red currant glazed turkey, pork belly, cabbage and brie?
108 Brasserie: situated at the back of The Marylebone Hotel, the restaurant will mark Thanksgiving with a specially created menu that starts with a spiced Maine lobster roll, followed by Baltimore style crab cakes as well as the classic turkey and with a choice of classic American pies to complete the meal.
Duck and Waffle: how about celebrating the holiday with family and friends at the London restaurant (there are also venues in Dubai and Edinburgh), which on the menu features the classic turkey with all the trimmings you can expect as well as a pecan pie to round off the meal perfectly.
Bluebird Chelsea: while many of the flavours on this specially created Thanksgiving menu are traditional, there is certainly a contemporary take on it on display here! Aside from the traditional turkey, starters include Fried Buttermilk Chicken with Buffalo Sauce or Fried Buttermilk King Oyster Mushrooms, with the pudding being Whiskey-Soaked Drunken Monkey Bread (which does feature Pecans, Cinnamon & Vanilla ice cream).
Sunday in Brooklyn: enjoy Thanksgiving in either the restaurant’s Marylebone or Notting Hill locations, with highlights on the menu including Double-baked soufflé, Turkey with all the trimmings and of course, the classic pecan cake. At the Notting Hill location, celebrations are running from the 26th to the 28th November, with celebrations on the 27th having two fixed sittings to choose from, each a 2.5-hour dining experience. Dinner will be served banquet-style, with each course presented at the same time across the restaurant. Meanwhile, at the Marylebone venue the menu is available on the 26th and 27th November.
The Cadogan Arms: if you are in the area of Chelsea this Thanksgiving, why not pop into The Cadogan Arms to sample its take on a classic Thanksgiving dinner. You can start with a a selection of Canapés, including Baked Brie, Shrimp Salad, before moving into a main course of both Roast Turkey Crown and Slow Roasted Short Ribs, served with all the trimmings. The meal is topped witha Pecan Pie and Pumpkin & Ginger Biscuit Smores!
