Let’s get festive at the charming Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, one of London’s few remaining 17th Century chophouses. A glass of red or a hot toddy is definitely on the cards. Our last event of 2024 and we’re keeping it chill and low key.

‘‘Yesterday, I looked in at the Garrick at lunchtime, took one glance of loathing at the mob, and went off to lunch by myself at the Cheshire Cheese’’ PG Woodhouse 1906. Unlike Woodhouse, plus ones and twos are welcome of course. The more the merrier, ho ho ho!
