Whether you’re celebrating with a small group of six or bringing your whole team out to Christmas lunch or dinner, we have a beautiful space and a plentiful feast for you at Nessa.
Nostalgia is what we serve best, with executive chef Tom Cenci’s playful twists on iconic dishes, the festive season will be no exception. Let us take you on a journey through his Christmas past, present and future from our charming little corner of Soho.
Christmas Feasting at its finest, the centrepiece to your celebration will be our Roast Chicken with crispy skin, served on a bed of truffle, potatoes and rich gravy. Making it’s much anticipated return to the menu is our Sage Stuffing Brioche with homemade cranberry sauce.
Love or loathe them, Christmas just isn’t Christmas without Brussels Sprouts, ours are shredded and served with figs and candied walnuts for a fresh take on the divisive veg. Your final course – the Viennessa, our take on the ultimate dinner party dessert, all spruced-up for the festive season.
In the restaurant we can seat up to 14 guests along one table, tables are available to book online. For larger parties (up to 30 guests), send us an email with the details and we’ll come back with some seating options for your party.
Our Christmas Feasting Menu is priced at £60pp and designed for the table to share and served for all parties of seven or more; there is a plant-based alternative menu. For smaller groups dining with us, you’ll be offered our Lunch & Dinner menu, with Christmas cheer in abundance.
For a more intimate setting, Nessa services a selection of beautiful private dining rooms just one floor up, at 1 Warwick. We have spaces to seat parties of eight to 20 guests without the time pressures of the restaurant.
For an impressive setting take a look at the Drawing Room, complete with a striking Murano glass chandelier and bathed in natural light from its curved bay window stretching the length of the room. Perhaps you’d prefer our New York loft style dining room on the 2nd floor, with open brick walls and low lighting for your celebrations.

Due to the natural busyness of Christmas, we take a deposit of £30 per person to secure all reservations of seven or more. For parties up to six guests, we take card details as usual to confirm.
Running Christmas at the restaurant takes a huge amount of preparation, as such we’ll be asking for at least 72 hours notice of cancellation for all groups of seven or more during this period (November 18th to December 23rd). For cancellations made within 72 hours of the reservation date, deposits will be retained.
