Thanksgiving meals in London

Head to the Standard Hotel's in-house pub for Thanksgiving With Friends, with a special Thanksgiving set menu served up alongside a UK vs US pop culture pub quiz hosted by real life New Yorker Janine Harouni. It's £45 quid a head for turkey with cranberry & apricot stuffing, honey cornbread, yams and marshmallows, mac and cheese, and a pudding of rum & cinnamon ice cream with pumpkin pie. 

Rock up to Time Out fave Chet's in west London all day on November 23 to chow down on their special Thanksgiving dish; a crispy turkey cutlet in gravy with green bean glass noodles and turkey yellow curry. The LA-style Thai joint's dish of the day costs £19 and frankly, we're livid about it not being on the menu all year round. 

Set in the lavish surroundings of The Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair, The Colony Grill Room is a New York-style restaurant with big ‘Great Gatsby’ energy. Its £85 a head Thanksgiving dinner this year is equally fancy, with a massive turkey, pecan pie and elegant extras: think pumpkin risotto, cured seabass, and parkerhouse rolls. Veggies get a nut roast option with cured carrot and sweetcorn, lime and ginger and everyone gets to feel like they’re in an art deco fever dream. It's £65 for the additional wine flight. 

Old school American brasserie Joe Allen is doing a slap-up one-night-only three course Thanksgiving menu for £65 that pays tribute to its original New York location via the medium of spiced pumpkin soup, then roast Norfolk bronze turkey with all the trimmings. For pud you can choose between flourless chocolate fudge cake with whipped cream, or pecan tart with butterscotch and popcorn ice cream. It'll be the only menu available there on November 23, so you might as well get stuck in. 

An all-star cast are setting up shop at the in-house restaurant at Shoreditch's Hoxton hotel this Thanksgiving. Dinner comes from Mississippi-born Slade Rushing featuring a special pumpkin pud from Willy's Pies. The set £55 menu also includes pumpkin arancini parmesan with sage infused mayo, tea-brined roasted turkey, Tennessee whiskey glazed ham and cornbread stuffing (as well as two cocktails). Aimee Phillips is DJing, and the good times will assuredly roll. 

Trying to make Thanksgiving leftovers a thing, it's Max Halley of Max's Sandwich Shop. The north London sando champ has teamed up with bourbon brand Wild Turkey to cram all the delicious dregs into a sarnie the day after Thanksgiving – on what nobody's calling Thanksgiving Boxing Day. So if you're ready for round two, then swing by Crouch Hill for this Turkey schnitzel, sauerkraut, stuffing, sausage, Wild Turkey glazed bacon crumb, fried egg, and a bourbon gravy mustard mayo mega-sarn on Friday November 24. It's £12.95, but you get a free Old Fashioned cocktail with every order.

Taking place on both November 23 and 24, this Thanksgiving supper club comes from Bridget Fojcik, manager of Honey & Spice, and former Ottolenghi bod. With family style sharing platters, this £45 a head menu starts with honey rosemary nuts, cheese straws and blue cheese & cranberry crostini before a mega turkey with Bridget’s special gravy, stuffing, buttermilk mash, kale with almonds & caramelised onions, a waldorf salad and cranberry relish before a mighty pumpkin cheesecake.

Rotating menu restaurant Carousel will be joining forces with Sam and Shauna from soul food pros Hang Fire BBQ for their Thanksgiving Thursday meal. Taking place upstairs in the White Room, you'll get smoked turkey, cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, roast brussels, pecan pie, sweet potato pie and mashed potatoes for £59.50 per person. 

Enjoy a sky high Thanksgiving at this 40th floor restaurant, which is serving up a lavish dinner alongside impressive views. The menu starts with buttermilk cornbread served with whipped honey butter, bacon wrapped dates with lingiça, manchego and mustard, and crispy polenta served with truffle mayonnaise. The turkey comes with trad trimmings such as sweet potatoes with marshmallows and candied peanuts, green bean casserole and truffle mac & cheese, as well as bourbon pecan pie to finish. It's £55 per person if you opt for a lunch sitting, £90 at dinner and  £45 extra for wine pairings. 

Chelsea pub Cadogan Arms loves to lay on a spread for special occasions, and Thanksgiving is no exception. This year's lavish £80 three course menu is packed with old-school classics like prawn cocktail, turkey with a decent amonth of trimmings, and pecan pie. 

Nearly halfway up the Shard, Oblix is offering a Thanksgiving menu for £97 per person this November 23. For one day the star of the show won't be the amazing views, but roasted turkey breast with chestnuts, which is served alongside brussels sprouts and black truffle sauce, as well as luxe sides; green beans wrapped in pancetta, baked sweet potatoes seasoned with garlic and rosemary, and roasted pumpkin with sweet maple syrup, sage & stracciatella. Pudding is a classic pecan pie served with bourbon ice cream. 

The Riding House Café is serving up a £55 per head Thanksgiving feast that'll fill your table with a massive array of dishes, family style. There's turkey, obviously. But the line-up of sides sounds just as exciting, including cornbread and sausage stuffing, glazed sprouts with bacon, green beans with praline, creamed corn, truffled mac & cheese, and loads more. Finish off with an American classic: pumpkin pie.
