Festive Menu & Christmas Dining in Cheshunt

This festive season, Laila Kitchen brings the warmth of Turkish and Mediterranean hospitality to Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. From a Festive Menu running throughout November and December to a full Christmas Day celebration, there’s a table for every kind of festive gathering: family lunches, office Christmas parties and everything in between. Tables fill up fast across the festive season, so booking ahead is the best way to guarantee yours.

What’s on the Festive Menu

  • Cold & Hot Starters – a mix of warm and cold dishes to share: Turkish sucuk spice meatballs in tomato basil sauce and smoked paprika hummus melba toast, alongside cherry bruschetta, cheesy arancini and caramelised goat cheese with winter berry compote
  • Fresh Fish & Seafood – avocado prawn terrine to start, and salmon steak papillote, slow-cooked with orange, cloves and bay leaves, as a main
  • Turkish Kebabs & Charcoal Grills – the mixed grill brings together Adana, lamb shish and chicken shish, char-grilled and served with rice, alongside 28-day aged rib eye steak and rosemary-jus lamb cutlets
  • Vegetarian – saffron and herb-marinated grilled vegetables with couscous, plus a cheesy arancini starter, for a proper vegetarian spread rather than a single side dish
  • Dessert – traditional Christmas pudding with brandy sauce and Turkish baklava with vanilla ice cream sit alongside Cointreau crème brûlée, San Sebastián cheesecake, fudge brownie cake and Eton mess
