From\u00a0mid-November<\/strong>, the City begins to sparkle. Lights wind their way around office lobbies, diaries fill with end-of-year meetings, and thoughts turn to where to gather colleagues and clients for the season\u2019s celebrations. For many in the City, that place has long been\u00a0HAZ Premier Place<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 our very first restaurant, and still the one that carries the heart of our story.<\/p>

A space with roots in the City<\/h3>

Tucked just off Liverpool Street, Premier Place has been welcoming guests for years. It\u2019s our oldest branch, a dining room where countless business deals have been toasted, friendships have been celebrated, and office parties have stretched late into the night. The space itself is flexible \u2014 up to\u00a0110 guests seated<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 with a semi-private bar that feels tucked away enough for smaller teams without ever losing the hum of the City outside.<\/p>

Food to mark the season<\/h3>

The festive menu, at\u00a0\u00a356 per person<\/strong>, begins with what Turkish dining does best: a table full of mezze.\u00a0Eight plates arrive at once, filling the room with colour and fragrance. Bowls of hummus rich with tahini and lemon. Babaganoush carrying its smoky depth. Falafel crisp on the outside, tender within. Borek warm from the oven, layers of filo wrapped around soft cheese and spinach. Calamari golden with just the right bite, lifted by yoghurt tartar and a squeeze of lemon.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s the kind of start that makes a group lean closer, reaching, sharing, talking.<\/p>

The mains give every guest room to choose. Some go for tradition \u2014 a\u00a0Mixed Grill<\/strong>, lamb chops with a hint of char, or a\u00a0slow-braised Lamb Shank<\/strong>\u00a0on a bed of bulgur. Others pick lighter plates:\u00a0swordfish with chilli and lemon<\/strong>, or a\u00a0charred cauliflower with carrot and orange pur\u00e9e<\/strong>\u00a0that balances sweetness with earthiness. There\u2019s comfort too \u2014\u00a0Vegetarian Moussaka<\/strong>\u00a0layered with aubergine, courgette, and potatoes, or a\u00a0Black Angus Sirloin<\/strong>, rich and hearty with peppercorn sauce and crisp chips.<\/p>

To finish, something sweet: a\u00a0chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream<\/strong>, warm and cooling in the same spoonful.<\/p>

Over the years, we\u2019ve hosted more than\u00a08<\/b>00 private and corporate events<\/strong>\u00a0across our restaurants. Premier Place has been at the centre of that journey. Our corporate guests often tell us they leave\u00a0well-fed and well-looked after<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 the kind of dining that feels generous without being overcomplicated. Service is smooth and discreet, the way it should be in the City, but always warm with the spirit of Turkish hospitality.<\/p>

For us, Premier Place is more than a restaurant. It\u2019s where HAZ began. And for many of our guests, it\u2019s where the year comes to a close \u2014 over shared plates, raised glasses, and conversations that matter.<\/h3>

Christmas dining begins from mid-November.
