A fine dining restaurant table setting with an elegant plate of gourmet food and empty wine glasses.

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day Dining in Café Cru

Celebrate the New in Cru! (…Year that is!)

Our New Year’s Eve parties here at Imperial Hotel are legendary (and booking now) but we also know that not everyone wants the full party experience.

If a delicious dinner and a superb bottle of wine (or fizz) is more your style this festive season, then we've got you covered. Our award-winning 2 AA Rosette restaurant, Café Cru, will be open for dinner on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, serving a specially created New Year's menu.

Whether you're planning a sophisticated celebration on 31st December or looking to enjoy an indulgent meal on 1st January, Café Cru offers the perfect setting to mark the occasion. Book now to dine in style on the last day of the year - or be among the first to celebrate the new year with an unforgettable dinner on New Year's Day.

Don’t fancy paying New Year’s prices for a taxi home? Stay with us! Book a room at a great New Year’s Eve rate and simply head upstairs to bed at the end of the night.

See in the New Year in style and with friends here in Café Cru.
