This December, the home of festive feasting in Liverpool is going back to its roots.
Across their three venues, the team at LEAF have now revealed their Christmas menu offering, with the focus around shared starter and dessert platters framing a selectable main. So rather than a traditional set 3-course menu, LEAF are celebrating big and small get-togethers alike with the focus on socialising, celebrating and sharing together.
Two delicious starter platter options are the Festive and Greek Meze, followed by 6 magnificent mains: Rolled turkey; Braised beef feather blade; Baked herb crusted hake; Crispy fried squid; Kale and sweet potato pie; and open falafel and grilled halloumi flatbread. Each course comes with an abundance of appropriate trimmings. Then to finish, homemade mini treacle tart and mince pie truffle platters conclude the fabulous festive feasting.
At LEAF Bold Street, Smithdown Road and West Kirby, Christmas is always a time of creativity, indulgence and spending special time with family, friends, colleagues and loved ones. The beautiful and iconic locations are perfect for cosy intimate evenings, snug catch ups and big social get togethers.
And plans are almost complete for LEAF, OH ME OH MY’s and ONE FINE DAY’s wider festive plans including Santa’s Meet And Greet making a very welcome return, Christmas crafting and festive Pudding Clubs, through to the stunning OH ME OH MY hosting Christmas Afternoon tea sessions.
