Burnt Orange’s Festive Menus
Our festive feasting menu is designed for sharing, because the best celebrations always are.
It starts with mezze that pull you in: charred squash hummus, spiced dips, and flatbreads straight from the fire. Then come the plates built for passing around: grilled marinated king prawns, duck breast with jalapeño glaze, smoked miso aubergine, and seasonal sides that keep the table full and the glasses topped. And when you think you’ve reached your limit, dessert arrives to tempt you further with a treacle, date and cardamom tart that’s impossible to ignore. Want more? Upgrade your feast with king prawns or chicken, and take it up another level. This is food that fuels the whole night.
