Bedecked in their annual finery of baubles, tinsel and lights, our cafés are ready to receive you for your Christmas celebration. So too are our chefs, who have assembled a most excellent array of festive fare for your table. Our indulgent Christmas Feasting menu is designed for gatherings of six or more, promising lavishly laden thaals of café favourites – and as many side dishes as you wish – to leave your group very merry and thoroughly sated. For smaller groups, we proffer our à la carte Christmas menu, featuring seasonally-inspired specials alongside first-class Designing Dum classics.
Moreish Raan Buns
Devour whole turkey leg prepared in the traditional raan style, cooked slowly over a day until meltingly tender, then piled into a warm brioche bun amidst cranberry mayo, spinach, onions and a gentle slice of brie. Or, sample expertly roasted jackfruit – savoury and nicely spiced – served with equally delicious plant-based accompaniments. Designing Dum slaw, crunchy salli crisp-chips and deep-fried green chillies complete your dish for the rather reasonable cost of £13.90.
Bun Maska Pudding
Our spice-infused take on traditional bread-and-butter pudding. Bun Maska is baked with a mingling of nuts and custard, with lots of nutmeg and a hint of cardamom. Served with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream to finish.
Chai Eggnog
Warm your wits with our delicious Chai Eggnog. Traditional eggnog is spiked with Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and chai spice, then liberally dusted with festive nutmeg. An indulgent, fitting end to your Christmas Feast – or any wintery occasion for that matter.
