Easter Menus In London For 2024

While chocolate is clearly the food hero of Easter, it’s not the only thing to get excited about eating during the season. Easter is a celebration of the beginning of spring and all the bountiful produce that comes with it: roast lamb, spring greens, hot cross buns, Simnel cake and more. Many London restaurants are offering special Easter menus and dishes across the Bank Holiday weekend – we highlight the best here.
