With its rich heritage and commitment to excellence, the club promises to deliver a magical yuletide experience that will delight members and guests alike.
A Winter Wonderland in Mayfair
When the winter winds blow in London, The Lansdowne Club is ready to open its doors to partygoers. The club’s neoclassical design by 18th century architect Robert Adam provides a stunning setting for the season.
This year the club will be transformed into a winter wonderland with twinkling lights, fragrant garlands and tasteful decorations to create a sense of magic and nostalgia.

Culinary Delights to Savour
At the heart of The Lansdowne Club’s Christmas packages is a culinary journey by Executive Head Chef Henry Brosi. Known for his modern British cuisine Chef Brosi has created a series of menus to tantalise the taste buds and capture the spirit of the season.
The Deluxe Package, priced at £150 per guest, offers a sumptuous three-course meal that showcases the finest seasonal ingredients. Diners can begin their culinary adventure with hand-dived scallops, accompanied by a decadent lobster and girolle ragout. For those seeking the height of luxury, a supplement of £9 per guest will secure the Salmon Tolstoy, an exquisite dish featuring Acipenser caviar and delicate pickled accompaniments.
Main course options include a traditional Black Norfolk turkey with all the trimmings, a dish that pays homage to time-honoured British Christmas fare. For a more contemporary twist, guests can opt for the New Forest venison, served with pumpkin and amaretti ravioli and a juniper, port, and blackberry jus – a true celebration of autumnal flavours.
No Christmas feast would be complete without a show-stopping dessert, and The Lansdowne Club delivers in spades. The club’s traditional Christmas pudding, served with tangerine confit and Armagnac custard, is a time-honoured favourite. For those with a penchant for something lighter, the vanilla panna cotta with speculatius biscuits and warm damson compote offers a refined conclusion to the meal.
Premium Packages for Larger Gatherings
For bigger events the Premium Package is for parties of 100 to 190 guests. £145 per person includes a champagne reception and wine pairing.
