Cardinal’s December festive menu offers four courses for £37

Cardinal has shaped its December programme around the unhurried rhythm of festive entertaining. The restaurant’s seasonal menu unfolds across four courses and runs at lunch throughout the month until 4 January, priced at £37 per person. The offer speaks to a particular generosity of spirit, the sort that recognises December demands both careful planning and genuine hospitality.

The kitchen’s approach to this period mirrors the care visible in the dining room itself. Pendant lights in soft brass cast their warmth across tables dressed in deliberate simplicity, whilst floor to ceiling cream curtains frame the street beyond, softening the industrial concrete that characterises the space. Three distinct configurations accommodate different scales of celebration: full private hire for 26 guests, a dedicated private dining room for up to 10, or traditional reservations for smaller groups.

The festive market menu draws on the particular flavours of the season, with the kitchen working openly where guests can watch the rigorous technical work unfold. It is the kind of restaurant where the meal itself becomes the event, where the rhythm of courses and the movement between them form part of the experience. Booking ahead ensures your place, particularly as December draws closer to its warmest celebrations.
