Christmas at Galvin La Chapelle

Galvin La Chapelle offers private and semi-private dining for Christmas within its Michelin-starred setting in Spitalfields, City of London — housed in a Grade II listed former school hall with soaring stone ceilings and arched windows. Guests can choose between two private dining rooms, The Gallery and The Arch, or take exclusive hire of the whole restaurant for larger celebrations.

The Gallery is an intimate mezzanine space seating up to 16 guests on one rectangular table, with dedicated service, natural light and views over the main restaurant. The Arch sits within the main dining room, framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling drapery, and seats up to 27 guests across three long tables — a semi-private setting with the full Michelin-starred dining experience. For larger occasions, exclusive hire of Galvin La Chapelle accommodates up to 110 guests seated or 150 standing.

The Gallery is served a four-course set menu — a snacks course (including Carlingford oyster with lardo di Colonnata, and truffle & Vacherin Mont d'Or gougères), followed by a starter, main and dessert. The Arch and exclusive-use guests are offered a choice of three dishes at each course, spanning starters such as Dorset crab raviolo and free-range British duck carpaccio, mains including grass-fed beef and Lake District fallow deer, and desserts such as coffee-soaked baba with tiramisu cream. For standing receptions, a canapé and bowl food menu is available, featuring dishes such as smoked Scottish salmon blinis, wild mushroom & truffle arancini, and prime UK beef tartare.

Gallery: From £115pp, Arch: £120pp and exclusive hire from £115pp
