December in the City has its own kind of theatre. Streets glowing with lights. Office doors closing just a little earlier. Colleagues pulling on coats and scarves, ready to swap deadlines for dinners, spreadsheets for stories.
Step inside HAZ and the air changes. The smoke of the charcoal grill drifts across the room, rich and inviting. A skewer of lamb lands at the table still steaming. Chicken shish follows, charred at the edges. Then seabass, glistening from the coals. Mezze spreads arrive in colourful abundance, one after another, filling the table until there’s hardly room for the glasses catching the glow. Laughter rises. Hands reach across the table. The City hum fades to something warmer.
This is the season of togetherness. And while Christmas means different things to different people, at HAZ it’s about one simple truth: food shared is time well spent. A table that feels generous. Plates passed from hand to hand. The spirit of gathering, with no one left out.
For twenty-two years, HAZ has been part of that story. With five branches across the City of London, we’ve become the dining room for corporate life. More than eight hundred Christmas parties hosted. Thousands of colleagues, clients, and teams welcomed in over the years. Some for intimate lunches. Others for celebrations that filled the room.
At St Paul’s alone, we serve up to 1,200 guests daily in December. That scale matters. It means we know how to run your event like clockwork — but still make it unforgettable.
The details set us apart. Long tables that welcome large groups. Menus that work for everyone — grilled seabass, vegetarian moussaka, falafel, halal options, vegan dishes. Service that’s efficient and professional, but never rushed. Always that touch of Turkish hospitality, generous and warm.
And yet, every year the same story plays out. Teams wait too long. Venues fill up. The City moves fast, and so do bookings.
So here’s our advice: don’t leave it late.
Because the smoke, the abundance, the laughter at the table — that’s what lingers. The food disappears. The year closes. But the memory remains.
With over two decades of experience, five branches across the City of London, and the ability to host 1,200 guests a day at St Paul’s alone, HAZ knows how to turn a corporate Christmas into something effortless, inclusive, and extraordinary.
But the truth? Very few slots remain for December 2025.
