Fire & Fromage at Jimmy's Pop-up

Nestled on the Southbank, Fire & Fromage at Jimmy's Pop-up is a fun winter destination that offers all sorts of alpine fun. Cosy up here with blankets and toasty firepits, surrounded by twinkling lights and views of the river Thames - while sipping mulled wine or boozy hot chocolate.

Their street food kitchen is cooking up the likes of baked camembert, vegan festive burgers and chicken schnitzel. And for something more festive, their Fondue Bar offers a sharing feast filled with fresh bread, potatoes, salad and mini doughnuts, as well as a welcome drink, all for just £35 per person.
