Christmas dining and parties 2021: The Coconut Tree
Pioneering Sri Lankan street food restaurant group The Coconut Tree will be giving the traditional Christmas Dinner a south Asian twist this winter. The independent boutique operators are front-runners in bringing fresh Sri Lankan dishes to the UK, coupled with a laid-back, convivial atmosphere.
Whether it’s Sri-Lankan-style Split Sprouts with Cashews (£6) or the brand-new spiced Turkey Baubles with a tangy cranberry dipping sauce (£6) – the island-inspired festive dishes are sure to warm the cockles on a cold winter’s day.
The ‘Ho, Ho, Hopper’ (£3.50) also makes a return; a jolly and bright beetroot hopper (traditional coconut milk pancake) with Cranberry Lunu Miris (cranberry & onion relish), Curry Leaf Sambol (grated coconut with curry leaves), and onions caramelised with a hint of Sri Lankan Cinnamon.
A new ‘Santa Lanka’ cocktail (£7) has been added to the ‘Cocotail’ menu; a decadent combo of warming Ceylon coconut arrack – a Sri Lankan spirit distilled from coconut flower nectar – shaken with vodka, crisp apple juice, spicy ginger beer and a dusting of sweet Sri Lankan cinnamon.
The new Xmas dishes will be available from November 22 to December 31. For the first time, this year, The Coconut Tree will also offer a choice of four packages for Christmas (Thursday – Sunday) with advance booking necessary.
