London does Halloween rather well, particularly when the evening begins at the table. This October, restaurants, hotel dining rooms and late-night venues across the capital are embracing the season with gothic cocktails, theatrical menus, pumpkin decor, candlelit suppers and full-scale Halloween dining experiences.
Halloween falls on Saturday 31 October 2026, making this year particularly well suited to a long dinner followed by drinks, music or something more theatrical. Alongside one-night celebrations, several venues are running seasonal experiences throughout the final week of October.
From a candlelit supper at Berners Tavern to Medusa-inspired dining at Nammos and a vampire-themed evening at Lost Souls Pizza, these are the Halloween restaurants London 2026 is worth knowing about now.
How we chose the best Halloween dining experiences
Our team selects venues with confirmed 2026 Halloween programmes, not restaurants simply decorated for October. We looked for distinctive menus, strong settings, established London dining reputations and experiences that offer something beyond a standard meal.
Current venue information and booking details were checked against official restaurant or event pages wherever available, with established London dining guides used for wider context. Time Out’s 2026 restaurant coverage, for example, continues to highlight the capital’s breadth of established and new dining destinations.
The Ivy Asia St Paul’s, House of Horrors
For a polished Halloween dinner in central London, The Ivy Asia St Paul’s is one of the more theatrical choices. On Saturday 31 October, the restaurant becomes a supernatural setting inspired by folklore and mythology, with mysterious figures, dramatic costumes and theatrical moments appearing throughout the evening.
The regular Asian menu is joined by limited-edition Halloween dishes, including a Skull & Bats dessert made with black vanilla soft serve, milk chocolate and raspberry, alongside the Jade Ghost cocktail. Dinner guests can also continue into the Sekushi Room, where the Halloween party runs late with Afro House DJs and immersive entertainment.

Sexy Fish, Vampire Tide
Mayfair’s Sexy Fish is taking a darker turn for Halloween with Vampire Tide, an evening built around gothic glamour, theatrical entertainment and the restaurant’s Japanese-inspired menu.
The Halloween dinner takes place on 31 October, with dinner from 9pm and live entertainment, striking costumes and a headline DJ. There is also a late-night option from 11.45pm, with cocktails and a reduced à la carte menu. The dinner experience carries a £100 deposit, redeemable against food and drinks, whilst the late-night experience has a £50 deposit.

Nammos London, The Curse of Beauty
Nammos London is approaching Halloween through Greek mythology, with Medusa at the centre of its 2026 celebration. The Curse of Beauty runs from 26 October to 1 November, giving diners more than one opportunity to experience the seasonal menu.
A dedicated Halloween set menu is priced at £95 per person, with seasonal cocktails and a larger celebration on Saturday 31 October. From 7pm, the resident DJ takes over, whilst late-night bar snacks continue after dinner. Costumes are encouraged, making this a particularly suitable choice for those who want dinner to become the beginning of the evening rather than the end.
Address: 15 Berkeley Street, London W1J 8DY

Lost Souls Pizza, Camden
For something considerably more playful, Lost Souls Pizza remains one of London’s most distinctive Halloween destinations. The Camden pizzeria is already known for its vampire-themed interiors, black charcoal pizzas and darkly theatrical approach to food and drink.
Its Lost Souls Halloween Extravaganza returns on Saturday 31 October for its tenth annual Halloween party. Guests receive a seated two-course dinner and cocktail, followed by a dinner show, DJ set and spooky disco running into the early hours. The venue’s own 2026 announcement also confirms a costume competition, with a £300 bar tab as the prize.
Address: 245 Eversholt Street, London NW1 1BA

Berners Tavern, Halloween Special
For a more elegant take on Halloween dining London, Berners Tavern is worth considering. The London EDITION restaurant’s Live at Berners series returns on 30 October with a dedicated Halloween Special, combining a candlelit supper with live music from the house quartet.
The programme takes its musical cues from Halloween favourites including Beetlejuice and Thriller, whilst the restaurant’s autumn menu is built around British ingredients such as heritage beetroot, Norfolk quail and venison. It is a subtler interpretation of the season, suited to diners who prefer atmosphere and live music to elaborate costumes.
Address: 10 Berners Street, London W1T 3NP

The Hansom, Trick or Treat Afternoon Tea
Not every Halloween menu needs to begin after dark. At The Hansom in St Pancras, the traditional afternoon tea receives a playful seasonal treatment from 26 to 31 October.
The Trick or Treat Afternoon Tea includes a special Ghostly cake with an element of surprise inside. Guests may discover a tropical coconut, passion fruit and mango filling, or the deliberately mischievous toothpaste and mint white chocolate version. It is a charming option for an autumn afternoon, particularly for families or anyone looking for a gentler Halloween celebration.
Address: Euston Road, St Pancras, London NW1 2AR

Flight Club, Halloween Brunch
For groups of friends, Flight Club offers a different interpretation of the Halloween brunch. Its Haunted House Party takes place on Saturday 31 October, bringing together Social Darts, live DJs, fancy dress, themed cocktails and devilish food specials.
The Halloween brunch includes a themed cocktail on arrival, an hour of Social Darts, bottomless pizza and either a bottle of Prosecco or four beers. Sessions are available at midday and 2.30pm, making this one of the more sociable options for a daytime Halloween gathering.
Address: 2A Worship Street, London EC2A 2AH

The Mandrake, Dante’s Inferno
For an immersive dining experience rather than a conventional restaurant booking, The Mandrake’s Dante’s Inferno is among the most ambitious Halloween experiences in London this year.
On 31 October, the Fitzrovia hotel transforms across multiple spaces with installations, opera, live performance, Renaissance-inspired tableaux and theatrical encounters. The dining element is a nine-course tasting menu, whilst the wider event continues from the evening into the early hours. The experience is strictly 21+, with dinner seating beginning from 7.30pm and the main event continuing until 3am.
Address: 20–21 Newman Street, London W1T 1PG

The Haunting on Russell Street, Covent Garden
For those who would rather make cocktails the centre of the evening, The Haunting on Russell Street turns a Covent Garden address into an adults-only Halloween pop-up running from 1 October to 1 November.
The Experimental Group concept combines theatrical interiors with a menu of Halloween-inspired cocktails and food. Drinks include the Widow’s Whisper, made with vodka, chocolate, melon, lychee, matcha, yuzu, cardamom, rose and absinthe, alongside the mezcal-based Clown Pear-anoia and What Lies Beneath, made with aged rum, cognac, spiced ginger and sweetcorn milk.

Planning a Halloween dinner in London
The main date to keep in mind is Saturday 31 October 2026, and the most sought-after experiences are likely to centre on that evening. Several venues are also extending their Halloween menus across the final week of October, which can be a more relaxed choice for dinner reservations.
For an elegant evening, Berners Tavern or The Ivy Asia St Paul’s offers a polished setting. Nammos and Sexy Fish suit diners looking for dinner that naturally moves into cocktails and music, whilst Lost Souls Pizza and Flight Club are better suited to groups. For a fully immersive evening, The Mandrake is the standout choice, whilst The Hansom offers the gentlest interpretation through afternoon tea.
Whatever style of Halloween dining London has in mind, booking early is sensible. The 2026 calendar places Halloween on a Saturday, and London’s broader Halloween programme is already being described as particularly busy, with events ranging from dining and nightlife to screenings and immersive experiences.
