Celebrate in style sky-high as Searcys at the Gherkin’s Helix Restaurant and Iris Bar get ready to open its doors for limited days across December with a golden takeover in partnership with Moët Chandon.

The restaurant and bar, on top levels 39 and 40, will be transformed into a glittering gold paradise with statement Christmas tree and golden wrapped bar and honeycomb patterned tables. Pop the bubbles from an extensive selection of Champagnes, or sip away on a festive tipple such as boozy Santa Claus with white chocolate liqueur, spiced rum, Frangelico liqueur, Amaretto, and vanilla, served in its own milk bottle.

For elevated dining, the restaurant will be serving seasonal lunches and dinners – with Searcys signature Smoked salmon with horseradish crème fraiche, dill pickled cucumber and Exmoor caviar, Norfolk bronze turkey breast with all the trimmings or Crispy gnocchi, with roast heritage cauliflower, cauliflower, and truffle purée, from £75 per person for three courses.

Searcys also launched a brilliant initiative this Christmas. Join the Searcys Christmas Charity Appeal for a good cause.

Searcys will be supporting Hotel School and Beyond Food, two hospitality charities which aim to help those most at risk of homelessness gain employment, with a voluntary donation added to every bill. If you can’t make it to a Searcys’ venue, give the gift of Searcys with its new gifting range, including new tea sets and bottles of champagne, available at www.searcys.co.uk/gifts.
