The golden roast potatoes arrive perfectly crisp, their exterior shattering beneath the fork, while steaming gravy pools across the plate, a familiar comfort seasoned with festive intent. At Aqua Shard on Level 31 of The Shard, 31 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RY, the kitchen has woven Christmas into its Sunday Roast programme, transforming the weekly ritual into something altogether more celebratory.
Choose from Roast Rump of Hereford Beef with horseradish cream and red wine sauce, Suffolk Corn Fed Chicken with bread sauce and gravy, or a hearty Nut Roast served with vegetable gravy, each accompanied by seasonal heritage carrots, parsnips, spring greens, crispy roast potatoes, and a golden Yorkshire pudding. The seasonal vegetables dress the plate with their own understated elegance, while the Christmas trimmings add an unmistakable sense of occasion.
What sets this experience apart remains what has always distinguished Aqua Shard: the dining room itself. Nestled high above the city, the Sunday Roast menu celebrates the finest British ingredients, paired with breathtaking views of London’s skyline. The meal becomes not merely food consumed but a London landmark experienced from within, the city’s geometry unfolding beyond every window.
The roasts are served from 12pm, available through the festive season. Reservations can be made through the restaurant directly.
