Tasked with planning the Christmas team-building event or looking for a unique private chef experience for Christmas this year? We’re here to help with all your festive party-planning needs.
As summer fades and the days grow shorter, there's a silver lining on the horizon — Christmas is coming. Festive lighting, feasting and gift-giving is just around the corner.
Read on to learn why private Christmas dining is the best way to celebrate the holidays in London, and how we can help to seamlessly plan your event.
Why book a private Christmas event in London?
A private event is a customised private dining experience booked just for you/your group.
Avoid the faff of busy London restaurants — when you book a private dining event through eatwith, you can work with a designated Community Manager and the host to create a tailored Christmas menu and atmosphere that perfectly suits your needs.
Our hosts can cater for both formal and casual dinner parties and events, for small and large groups.
Chef Jon has 20 years of cooking and hosting experience, and this year he has curated a Nepalese Festive Menu served in the heart of Dalston. His full Vegetarian menu is just as good. Recommended for larger groups of up to 30 guests.

Intimate dinner venues in London for the festive season
Enjoy the intimacy of dining in a beautiful London private venue space or in the chef’s own home. A little privacy goes a long way, allowing you to enjoy a perfect festive dinner with friends and get to know the host.
For smaller, more intimate groups looking for gourmet/up-market private dining events, we recommend Michelin-trained Chef Aidan’s 9-course tasting menu in central Hackney. His menus are hyperlocal, based entirely on East London-sourced produce. He is the answer to all your gourmet Christmas dining needs.

Not only that, but you’re not limited to booking dining experiences through Eatwith. Eatwith offers a range of culinary activities. If your group prefers, you can book a cooking class, food tour or tasting.
