It's Time For Mulled Wine

The White Swan – Rachel S

So, there's the gifts, the lights, the family gathering, and the tree. But we know what you're most looking forward to this Christmas — and it isn't getting your fingers trapped in sticky tape. It is, of course, all the delicious, warming mulled booze. This week, Christmas comes early, with a list of five top spots in which to indulge!

Bumpkin South Kensington 63 reviews South Kensington  102 Old Brompton Road, London  British Restaurants “The drinks and canapes were flowing, there were prosecco and different cocktails and mulled wine and tasty canapes and desserts to die for... Would definitely recommend their very reasonable Christmas menu at £37.50 for three courses.”  Mei S., London

Merchant’s Tavern 14 reviews Liverpool Street / Broadgate  35-42 Charlotte Road, London  Modern European Restaurants “My wife asked if they had mulled wine, to which the bartender replied, 'no, but I'll make you some', and proceeded to whip up a batch so perfectly spiced and balanced that it's made it difficult to drink it anywhere else.”  Ira P., London

The Churchill Arms 191 reviews Notting Hill  119 Kensington Church Street, London  Pubs, Thai Restaurants “They have a real fireplace which makes the atmosphere very cosy. The bartenders are friendly and serve mulled wine during the Christmas season. What more could one ask for? I can't wait to visit again.”  S J., Beckenham, London

Bedales 6 reviews Spitalfields  12 Market Street, London  Wine Bars, Off Licence “The bar is small and cosy. They have a large selection of wine and I love it that during the holiday season, they serve yummy mulled wine. I love coming here sipping mulled wine and nibbling on some bread and olive spread.”  Ally W., London

The Grenadier 101 reviews Belgravia  18 Wilton Row, London  British Restaurants, Pubs “Properly hidden, proper local. Though a stream of tourists being referred from nearby hotels will make you chuckle. Good mulled wine, hot ciders, pints, pies... and sometimes you just need a quiet little pub tucked in an alleyway.”  Thomas A., London
