Kimpton Fitzroy London launches a line-up of festivities kicking off with special Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and brunch menus curated by Michelin starred brothers, Chris and Jeff Galvin, at the newly launched Galvin Bar & Grill. To bring in the New year in style, the hotel’s glamorous drinking den Fitz’s will be hosting a big NYE Party.

Illuminating the corner of Russell Square, the Grade-II listed building will be a beacon of festivity. Home to the glamorous Fitz’s bar and the Galvin brothers’ latest opening, the impressive bar and dining room has its own dedicated entrance off Guilford Street and will be open throughout the season, including Christmas Day.

A modern British take on traditional seasonal menus underpinned with ethically sourced produce and a touch of festive flair, will ensure that guests to Galvin Bar & Grill arrive and leave with a festive spring in their step.

Open for lunch on Christmas Day, the Galvin brothers will be serving up the main event with classically modern dishes including Chicory, conference pear and Oxford Blue cheese salad topped with toasted walnuts and port dressing; Roast Cheswell Grange farm turkey; brandy-drenched Christmas pudding served with brandy custard or dark chocolate ganache with lemon yoghurt sorbet and honeycomb for those who enjoy a less the traditional festive dessert

New Year’s Eve is tipped to be a time for raising the roof and celebrating in style. A wonderfully decadent four-course menu including pressed chicken, duck liver and celeriac terrine with truffle mayonnaise; poached sole, lobster mousse with Champagne sauce and caviar; roast beef fillet with savoy cabbage, grilled heritage carrots and Hermitage sauce or Gressingham duck “a l’orange” served with buttered fondant potato and a rich Black Forest gateau, blackberry ice cream to round things off.

Head across the hallway to Fitz’s, the beautiful drinking den covered in light pink feathers to welcome in the New Year on the dance floor with live music by Glastonbury Festival favourite, The Cash Cows. The dynamic duo have travelled the world with their guitar, double bass and harmonica, and have lined up a repertoire of big hits to see you through to midnight and beyond.

Ease into the start of a new year with a lazy brunch that starts at midday and meanders into the afternoon. Crispy duck salad, refreshing watermelon, shallot and watercress leaves, Lancashire mutton “hot pot” with heritage root vegetables and a warming Bread and Butter pudding is there to set you straight for the year ahead.

Open throughout the festive season, Kimpton Fitzroy London has Christmas all wrapped up and are fully prepped for the ultimate warm up to welcome in a new year.
