Tips to book a Thanksgiving dinner for a team or a large group
Thanksgiving in the UK runs on a weekday, so leaving arrangements until the last minute can make it harder to find a venue that works for everyone. For office teams and larger groups, a few practical checks can make the booking process much smoother:
- Book by mid-October: Thanksgiving falls on Thursday evening in 2026, so restaurants can be filled quickly as walk-in guests come unexpectedly. Book a table first at your favourite restaurant by mid-October to secure the best table.
- Confirm pre-orders early: Set Thanksgiving menus often require guests to choose dishes in advance, especially for larger tables. Collecting preferences early helps avoid last-minute changes and ensures dietary requirements are covered.
- Check deposits and minimum spends: Larger bookings may come with deposits, set menus or minimum spend requirements. Confirming these details before booking avoids unexpected costs when organising a team dinner.
- Collect dietary requirements: Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly options are usually available, but restaurants may need advance notice when preparing seasonal menus for groups.
- Consider private dining spaces: For groups of around ten guests or more, a private room or dedicated dining area can make the evening easier to manage. Many London restaurants offer private spaces for group celebrations, with options ranging from smaller rooms to larger event areas.
