It always feels weird writing about Christmas so far in advance but then you pause and realise crikes, actually Crimbo is really just around the corner – a wee bit depressing but it’ll be fun in the end.
To help make it fun we’ve put together 3 different Christmas Menus for you – the first menu can be ordered for lunch or early evening. To book your Christmas party please call us on 020 7228 3260 or email ben@benscanteen.com – you must book at least 24 hrs in advance.
Remember we’re a short stroll from Clapham Junction station, we’re also just a few minutes away from Northcote Road and Battersea Rise – what we’re really saying is that if you need late night entertainment then there are a host of late night venues within a short walk – who doesn’t want a cheesy boogie at the Grand after turkey and all the trimmings?! You’re also not far in a cab from the mighty Infernos in Clapham or Bunga Bunga in Battersea. We can arrange taxis for you.
Finally, we know that some of you have your Christmas parties in January, we’re more than happy to host those events, just drop us a line.
