This New Year’s Eve, Michelin-starred Angler Restaurant at South Place Hotel will mark the end of the year with a truly special dining experience – A Night with Craig Johnston – available exclusively on 31st December 2025.
For the first time in years, Angler’s Executive Chef Craig Johnston will host an exclusive New Year’s Eve tasting menu, inspired by key moments from his celebrated career – from his beginnings in pastry to the dish that won him MasterChef: The Professionals – each course tells part of his culinary story.
The five-course menu is priced at £250 per person, and showcases Johnston’s refined, produce-led style, with dishes that highlight his evolution across some of the UK’s most acclaimed kitchens.
Guests can expect a curated selection of dishes including Cured Scallops with lobster bisque, shiso, green apple and pickled chilli, Raviolo of Guinea Fowl with smoked pine nuts and tarragon, followed by Angler’s signature Squab Pigeon, paired with caramelised celeriac and winter truffle. The menu continues with Saddle of Venison and closes with a light yet indulgent Yoghurt & Sauternes Mousse – a delicate nod to Chef Johnston’s MasterChef winning dessert. For extra indulgence, guests may opt for a Caviar and Dom Pérignon experience, available upon arrival.
Adding a personal touch to the experience, a bespoke playlist curated by Chef Johnston will accompany the evening, with tracks inspired by the music that has marked defining moments throughout Chef career, blending memory, emotion, and flavour.
Celebrations will continue in the The Fairytale Hideaway rooftop post-dinner experience in partnership with Woodford Reserve, featuring crafted cocktails, cosy surrounds, and skyline views.
A Night with Craig Johnston is available to pre-book, with limited seats. Early booking is strongly recommended. To learn more and reserve a table, visit www.anglerrestaurant.com.
