While we’re quintessentially British, we certainly know how to throw a feast. This November, join us at Cubitt House for an American-inspired celebration that feels right at home in London. Whether you’re a homesick expat, an American in the UK craving your favourite seasonal dishes or simply someone who never says no to a comforting roast, our Thanksgiving specials promise a hearty helping of tradition with a London twist.
Nestled in the heart of Belgravia, The Alfred Tennyson is opening its doors for a Thanksgiving celebration that blends festive warmth with British charm.
A (Brief) History of Thanksgiving in the UK
While Thanksgiving Day in America falls on the fourth Thursday of November (this year, it’s 27th November), here in the UK we’re not usually in the habit of baking Pumpkin Pie or topping sweet potatoes with marshmallows.
But with tens of thousands of Americans now calling London home (and even more of us happily adopting the excuse for a cosy get-together), Thanksgiving in London has grown in popularity. Whether you’re an expat, a curious Brit or a tourist looking to mark the occasion, Cubitt House is here to serve up Thanksgiving food in London with good hospitality, good company and just the right amount of gravy.
The Thanksgiving Specials
At the heart of any proper Thanksgiving dinner is the food, so we’ve made sure our offerings are worth gathering for. Available only at The Alfred Tennyson, this year’s Thanksgiving specials are a celebration of seasonal favourites and American classics, done our way.
Start your celebrations with a creamy New England Clam Chowder, rich and comforting, with just the right touch of nostalgia. For the main event, we’re serving Norfolk Bronze Turkey with Pork & Cranberry Stuffing, alongside Mac & Cheese.
To finish, it’s a timeless favourite: Pumpkin Pie with Cinnamon Ice Cream, as traditional as it gets, and just as delicious. What’s more, we’re crafting special cocktails to keep the festivities going. Wash down your feast with our Elijah Craig Bacon Fat-Washed Maple Old Fashioned or our Winter Spiced Plum Rittenhouse Paloma – two classics, reinvented just for the occasion.

Where to Stay in London for Thanksgiving

Whether you’re waking up to a Full English or winding down with a fireside cocktail, our rooms offer all the comforts of home (without the washing up).
Thanksgiving in the UK might not come with a parade down Fifth Avenue, but we promise it’ll come with all the trimmings and a whole lot of character.
