Skate Extras

Festive Raclette and Mulled Wine at Somerset House

Indulge in seasonal Alpine-inspired menu

Cosy Alpine-inspired restaurant, The Chalet restaurant returns to Skate at Somerset House on 13 November. Hosted by the original king of pop ups, Jimmy Garcia, The Chalet’s seasonal menu features winter favourites and warming drinks, perfect for post-ice skating. It’s The Chalet’s fourth year at the location.

Decked out in retro ski memorabilia, twinkling fairy lights, (fake) fur and warm wood, The Chalet is a charming, festive experience.

Indulge in freshly cut raclette. Each table is decked out with a raclette machine to serve yourselves DIY style, so it’s fresh every, single time. Just like in The Alps! It’s served with charcuterie, buttered new potatoes, in-house freshly baked bread, cornichons and salad.

A tipple or two will keep you toasty, with mulled wine and mulled cider on offer.

The Chalet’s menu is carefully curated by Jimmy Garcia and inspired by his own Alpine experience. Jimmy ran ski chalets in the Alps delighting guests with delicious food after their days on the slopes. The Chalet brings that same comforting Alpine hospitality to the Somerset House.
