Christmas and New Year in Clapham Junction, Battersea and Wandsworth

The Festive Holiday Season is almost here, after partying hard it’s time to kickback, forget about work and have super merry times with family and friends.

Doubtless though there will be times that you want to break out of the house and that’s why here at Ben’s Canteen we’re opening for the majority of the holiday – so come down to the place on the hill for brunch, dinner and drinks. We’re just a few minutes away from Clapham Junction and all the local buses connect to us, so you can get here from all over SW London (Battersea, Clapham, Brixton, Putney, Wandsworth and so on) without much fuss. Oh and we’re very dog friendly, so go for that big family walk, with the hound in tow, across Wandsworth Common/Spencer Park/Clapham Common and then come and warm up in the Canteen for a full blown meal or just a little treat with a cup of tea/coffee or our mulled wine.

Don’t forget, if you book in for dinner between 5 and 7pm then you can get 2 courses for £20 and a free glass of vino. Jingle Bells!

Xmas Jumper

Xmas Jumper Brunch Party

On Christmas Eve we’re open for brunch (from 9am to 4pm) and we’re having a Xmas Jumper Party.

Rock in wearing your worst (best!!) Xmas jumper and we will give you a free Bloody Mary… whilst you tuck into a huge Full English, Eggs, Sweetcorn Fritters, our epic Scotch Egg, French Toast, Allpress coffee and a whole lot more (and yes cliched Christmas tunes will most certainly be playing).

Christmas Eve at Ben’s Canteen

Ah Christmas Eve, we love it, there is a ‘end of term’ feeling, you’ve finished work and good times lie ahead (and the fact that your family are likely to drive you mad at some stage just adds to the end of school feeling).

Crimbo Eve is also an awesome time to catch up with mates and with that in mind we’re doing brunch, dinner and lots of drinks, including our Winter Pimms Punch.

Christmas Eve at Ben's Canteen

Brunch will be kicking off at 9am, so come in for a Big Ben (our mighty Full English), Eggs Benedict, our awesome BC Burger, that’s topped with homemade corned beef to make it extra British, and plenty more including Bloody Marys and, as it’s Christmas Eve, some fizz.

We’ll be serving our new winter menu with our recently launched beer matching options from 6pm until 8pm. The bar will be open all night and after 8pm we’ll have nibbles (such as pork pies) and a lovely winter Oxtail stew.

Plus @jimmyrhodes83 will be hosting, so you’re in for some serious Christmas cheer – he is definitely Captain Christmas in the Canteen.

Crimbo & New Yr Opening Times

It might not be snowing in Battersea but it’s definitely cold enough to start feeling like Christmas!

Battersea

We’re going to have a very short break over the Crimbo period as we want to keep the Canteen open to you during the holidays. So we’ll be open on Christmas Eve (we’re really looking forward to brunch), then we’re going to take a short break before opening up again as normal on the morning of the 29th. If you haven’t made your NYE plans then our format is pretty simple, we’re doing brunch and then a simple dinner menu until 8pm when we’re doing an amazing 3 course meal to see in 2012 – click here for details about the food and how to book.
