By mid-December, Christmas party season is in full swing. On Thursday 17 December, Fil Straughan returns to The Clarendon in Blackheath for a night of festive dining, live music and plenty of opportunity to get onto the dance floor.
Whether you’re celebrating with colleagues, friends or family, it’s a chance to step away from the December rush and enjoy dinner, drinks and live entertainment all in one place.
Live Music and Big Party Energy with Fil Straughan
Fil has a way of holding a room. One song might draw everyone in with his smooth vocal style; the next lifts the mood completely. It’s that contrast that makes his live shows such a good fit for a Christmas party night.
For anyone looking for live entertainment in Blackheath, Fil brings far more than background music to dinner. His performance becomes the focus of the night, with plenty of opportunity to sing along, enjoy the show or head for the dance floor.
Festive Dinner at The Clarendon Before the Show
Before Fil takes to the stage, the night begins with a three-course festive dinner in the Meridian Restaurant, with a glass of Sparkling Villa Doral Prosecco and canapés served at your table.
The festive menu is packed with rich, comforting dishes made for a winter evening: roast turkey with chestnut and cranberry stuffing, slow-cooked shin of beef with red wine jus, or baked sea bass with a chive and saffron velouté.
And if you still have room, the desserts are hard to resist. Finish with traditional Christmas pudding and brandy crème, passion fruit cheesecake or fresh fruit, followed by coffee and mince pies before the live music begins.
It gives you time to enjoy dinner, catch up and raise a glass before Fil takes over for the rest of the night.
From Dinner to a Full Christmas Party in Blackheath
After dinner, Fil takes centre stage for the live show, bringing his velvety smooth vocals, charisma and infectious energy to the Meridian Restaurant. Whether you’re happy listening from your table, singing along when a familiar favourite comes around or heading to the dance floor, Fil knows how to make the performance feel like the main event of the night.
Fil performs until 11pm, and the Chart Bar remains open until midnight, so there’s still time for another drink and a final catch-up once the show comes to an end.
Stay Overnight at The Clarendon This Christmas
If watching the clock for the last train doesn’t sound like the ideal end to your Christmas party, you can stay overnight at The Clarendon instead.
Guests attending festive meals and events can take advantage of a special discounted room rate, so once the bar closes, you can simply head upstairs and settle in for the night.
The next morning, enjoy The Clarendon’s award-winning full English breakfast before heading home – a relaxed finish after a late December night of dinner, drinks and live music.
