Christmas in South Kensington

YOUR CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION

With festive atmosphere aplenty and a wonderful selection of winter warmers (including everyone’s favourite, mulled wine), you’ll be in for a cracking Christmas if you spend it with us at The Duke of Clarence!

We’re the perfect venue for your work Christmas party, a few rein-BEERs with friends, a formal sit-down three-course feast, or an intimate Christmas Day dinner with your nearest and dearest. We promise fantastic service and impeccable festive jumpers… We even do the washing up!

Prosecco Reception

Kick your party off the right way with a bubbles reception. Whether it’s Prosecco, Champagne or other sparkly delight, make sure you beat the queue at the bar, and pre-order your drinks to be ready at your table upon your arrival.

Festive Events

Stay tuned for our calendar of unmissable events to look forward to over the festive period. From Christmas wrapping stations and card making, to mulled wine masterclasses, there’s always something going on at the Duke.

New Years Eve

Out with the old and in with the new! Whatever your resolution is this year, start 2025 off the right way… in the pub of course! We’ve got some cracking events lined up to see in the new year with a bang!

Hosting a Christmas Party?

Why not consider the Duke of Clarence for your celebration? What our stunning venue lacks in terms of private hire spaces, it more than makes up for in festive spirit and atmosphere. Who needs a private room, secluded from the fun and frivolity of our lively bar, when you can enjoy your Christmas party in the thick of the action in your local pub!

Book your Christmas party in one of our many cosy corners, and enjoy your evening with friends and family without missing out on that all-important festive pub vibe!

Gift Vouchers

From a three-course feast to a weekend away, or simply a quiet couple of pints in their favourite local, treat someone special and give the gift of the pub this Christmas.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying...

We had a Christmas do here and it was actually great. The food was really excellent and well presented and the service was perfect. Brilliant wine too. Definitely not your average London pub experience. Recommended
