The transformed Café will transport customers from the frosty streets of London into an inviting interior of spiced candles, cosy blankets and comfort food. Wintery ferns, a chalk drawn pine forest and soft lighting will surround the tables and chairs creating an intimate and relaxing atmosphere.
The award winning Café is a unique space, and perfect for a group Christmas lunch or dinner. The specialty Christmas menu offers a three course meal with Prosecco, tea or coffee and additional Christmas treats, available from December. Starters includeSevern and Wye smoked salmon with Dorset crab, avocado puree and fennel; and the quirky and indulgent Confit Duck Scotch Egg. Tempting mains include a Succulent Pan fried bream fillet with seared scallop, aromatic lentils, caper vermouth and cream sauce; and Roast pork belly with truffle mash and all the trimmings! Last but certainly not least will see the likes of a heavenly Pear tart tatin with crème fraiche, Chestnut and dark chocolate torte, Christmas pudding ice cream with a brandy tuille or an artisanal English cheeseboard with fig chutney and biscuits.
Add a lovingly chosen selection of wines, cocktails and local craft beers, and a warm welcome whatever the weather from the friendly front-of-house team, and you can see what makes The Lido Café South London’s very own poolside paradise all year round.
The Lido Café will be serving a very naughty mince pie aptly named’Bad Santa’. This indulgent treat will be a warmed mince pie served with a ball of homemade salted caramel ice cream on top. It doesn’t stop there! It will arrive alongside a’Mince Pie White Russian’ – the vodka having been infused with spices and candied fruit… www.thelidocafe.co.uk
