Yes, Thanksgiving is all about bringing loved ones together, but one cannot deny that it’s also the food which everyone looks forward to—don’t worry, London has it all and it’s not all turkey related! This year, four of London’s finest dining spots prepared special Thanksgiving tasting menus, each with a unique character.

Northall at The Corinthia
At Northall at The Corinthia, the celebration will start with a sneak peek of the chef’s expertise, beginning with an amuse-bouche featuring Miso Custard and Roasted Squash Cream with truffle and pumpkin seed crumble, alongside Mushroom & Kombucha with almond cream and black truffle (vegan).
After that, you’ll be served the starters, which include the Ballotine of Loch Duart Salmon, accompanied by nori and fresh herb yoghurt, poached leeks, and N25 caviar, offering a luxurious blend of flavours and textures. Another dish is the Roasted Heritage Beetroot, featuring whipped coconut feta, walnuts, and watercress—earthy and creamy, yet still crunchy.

Onto the king of the feast, you have several options. The Butter Roasted & Herbed Norfolk Bronze Turkey includes a ballotine of leg with sausage stuffing, served with rich roasting jus. For a plant-based option, the Squash, Artichoke & Celeriac en Croûte has an aromatic truffle and mushroom purée alongside a roasted sweet onion jus.

To end the meal, you can choose between two delightful pies. The Pecan and Vanilla Pie is rich and nutty, paired with dark chocolate ice cream for a decadent finish. An autumn star, the Pumpkin Pie comes filled with spiced custard and milk sorbet, a comforting blend of seasonal flavours. For those who prefer to share, there are also marshmallows and mini apple pies.
*The Thanksgiving menu is priced at £95 per person exclusively on November 28.

Chutney Mary
Chutney Mary’s Thanksgiving feast brings together the warmth of the holiday spirit as well as that of the Indian cuisine itself. Your meal will start with a cocktail—choose the Blueberry Cosmopolitan if you prefer something fruity and refreshing, or, alternatively, the Spiced Old Fashioned for an aromatic and spicy kick. If you want to keep it classic, they have Martinis as well.

Onto the starters, the restaurant prepared Crab Balchão Gratinée, a dish inspired by the vibrant flavours of Goa. This gratin combines tender crab with aromatic Goan spices, coming together as a rich, creamy, and hearty dish. Next come the main course options: Kerala Roast Duck, tender and beautifully seasoned with spices, or Jewel of a Lamb Curry – Kundan Kalia, accompanied by tandoor-spiced pumpkin, crispy potatoes, morel pulao, and naan. Inspired by the traditional British sticky toffee pudding, Chutney Mary elevated the classic dessert with the warmth of ginger and the crunch of candied pecans, beautifully complemented by a dollop of Chantilly cream and a luscious brandy sauce.
*This tasting menu is priced at £90 per person, including the cocktail, from November 28 through December 1.
