The most wonderful time of the year

Christmas in South Kensington

Celebrate Christmas With Us

There’s nothing like Christmas at the Duke: the bubbles are flowing, the fire is roaring, and the festive vibes are in full swing.

Whether you’re toasting to the season with your nearest and dearest or planning on locking in for a three-course Christmas feast, we’re looking forward to celebrating the silly season with you.

Don’t fancy the washing up this year? Join us for Christmas dinner and let us look after you. And let’s not forget the most highly anticipated night of the year: New Year’s Eve. We’ll be donning our sequins and popping bottles all the way into 2026!

Festive Feasting

If there’s one thing we love the most about Christmas, it’s the food. Beautifully crispy potatoes, endless pigs in blankets and enough roast turkey to keep you going until New Years. Heaven!

Gather your loved ones and join us for our three-course Christmas feast to get you into the festive mood. Your turn to host Christmas dinner? Forget about spending all morning hunched over the oven – take the family to ours and make December 25th one to remember.

Looking for some nibbly bits to serve at your office do? We’ve got that covered too: check out our party platters for an array of bite-sized treats that are sure to keep Karen from HR happy.

Gift Vouchers

From a three-course feast to a weekend away, or simply a quiet couple of pints in their favourite local, treat someone special and give the gift of the pub this Christmas.

Prosecco Reception

Let’s get this party started the right way with a bottle of bubbles. Whether you fancy prosecco, champagne or an alcohol free alternative, we’ve got plenty of the good stuff to fill your glass with. Pre-order your drinks to avoid the Christmas crowds and have them waiting for you upon arrival – what could be better?

Festive Events

Tis the season to fill up that social calendar! We’re booked and busy this Christmas season, with lots on to keep us occupied until Santa drops in for a pint on the 24th – check out our what’s on page to see what we’re up to.

We had a Christmas do here and it was actually great. The food was really excellent and well presented and the service was perfect. Brilliant wine too. Definitely not your average London pub experience. Recommended
