The Strand Palace Hotel had Christmas wrapped up last Monday evening as summer finally arrived in the capital. Showcasing their party planning capabilities and private dining facilities, the hotel’s ‘Christmas in July’ extravaganza displayed a variety of event options available for the 2016 festive season.
Inviting guests to jump into the Christmas spirit despite the soaring temperatures, the Strand Palace Hotel’s nine meeting & events spaces were transformed into a hub of festive cheer. With spaces providing the perfect backdrop for corporate bookings from 10 up to 170 guests, partygoers have the option to host a table or enjoy exclusive private hire of one of the hotel’s banqueting rooms complete with three-course dinner menu and half bottle of wine.
Providing a taste of the hotel’s award winning Carvery & Grill, the newly renovated Drake Suite was decorated with the succulent smells of Roast Turkey with all the trimmings. With a reputation for serving delicious British produce on The Strand since 1920, the Christmas Carvery at The Strand Palace includes a glass of Prosecco on arrival and provides a traditional Christmas party choice for parties of 10 or more.
Offering a delightful alternative to traditional turkey and stuffing, the Essex Suite tempted guests to spice up their Christmas with the sensuous flavours of Daawat restaurant. Selecting a mix of his favourite authentic Indian dishes, Head Chef Asharaf Valappil offers an exceptional Christmas menu including Tandoor Guinea Fowl, spiced lamb chops and spiced rice pudding. The Daawat Christmas menu is available from £38 per head including a glass of Prosecco on arrival and the restaurant can be hired exclusively for parties of 80 or more.
The pièce de résistance of the evening culminated in a live comedy show for guests to enjoy in the hotel’s extensive Exeter Suite.
