Which restuarants / pubs do Christmas lunch?

[hazelnunhead]

As it seems we will be based in London for Christmas, just us, I thought it might be a good idea to book somewhere to eat Christmas lunch - as we do a big meal (Danish style) on Christmas eve.

Has anyone got any recommendations of where they might have gone - anywhere in the East Dulwich area .... would like to stay local ....

Would like something fairly relaxed and family friendly. (It is Christmas after all!)

We had a lovely long xmas lunch at Belair House last year - they were great with our two little kids - very relaxing!

We had a brilliant meal at the Nuns Head (in Nunhead) last year. Relaxed and v friendly atmosphere, and no washing up....

We spent a fabulous Christmas day lunch at Rocca in Dulwich Village followed by a cocktail in Bel air House, both with our 6 month old daughter in tow. Was really worried about the meal as thought it might be a bit miserable not to be at home but it was so much fun because the staff in Rocca were so fabulous and the meal was great. Lovely atmosphere and very reasonable. Would definitely do it again but off to the in laws this year!

I was going to say Rocca too. Staff are lovely with kids and the food is excellent.

Thanks for recommendations, much appreciated. will look at Rocca, belair and Nunhead. Guess it might also depend on availability!

I would suggest, to change a bit if ED/village

- Dulwich wood house (SE26) very nice and warm atmosphere gastropub

From there you can have a pre-lunch walk in the Dulwich/Sydenham wood (you have a gate in the same street, further down )

- The Crooked well in Camberwell?

Or perhaps if weather is good, a trip to Surrey or Kent?

Amazing pub in term of decor and quality of food , nearby Godstone farm (Surrey) (nice treat for the kids) calle " the Bell"

We had a good meal on Christmas Day at the Rosendale last year - very chilled atmosphere with table football for when our kids (3 and 4) got bored. Service wasn't amazing but it didn't matter.
