Why an Italian Dinner Works for a Work Party
Italian food is made for sharing, which makes it ideal for mixed groups: there is something for every taste and diet, the pace is relaxed, and people actually talk. Add a central, easy-to-reach venue and a menu that does not need ten rounds of ordering, and a year-end dinner becomes simple to organise.
The Christmas Menu
From 1 December 2026, our 3-course Christmas menu runs at Granby Street for £36.95 per person — a choice of starters (including a vegetarian burrata), mains such as ribeye, salmon, chicken or a wild mushroom risotto (V), and a toffee pudding to finish. Read the full menu in our Christmas menu guide.
