Although we’re still patiently waiting for Halloween, London is already gearing up for a magical festive season – and nothing solidifies this more than the return of the much-loved Fire and Fromage pop-up by Jimmy Garcia on the South Bank. So, get ready to whip out that Big Coat™ and get into the spirit of the season with some well-earned joy that’s both merry and bright!
This Alpine-inspired, Thames-side experience will be the ultimate spot for some festive indulgence during the colder months, with unlimited raclette, winter cocktails, campfires, and beyond.
A winter wonderland on the South Bank
From mulled wine and twinkling lights to spiked hot chocolate and marshmallows over the campfire, this pop-up has all the ingredients to transport you and your tastebuds to the snowy slopes of the Alps without leaving London.
Picture yourself nestled by a crackling fire pit with raclette waiting to ooze over some potatoes and charcuterie, or roasting some marshmallows with some friends over a hot beverage! It’s truly a must-visit festive experience in the capital at Christmas.
Of course, the star winter warmer at the pop-up is undeniably the Raclette Bar, where unlimited cheese flows freely for £35 per person. If you’re feeling fancy, you can hire out a heated igloo with a luxe set meal to boot. There’s even a whole cabana (for up to 30 people) if you’re looking for a very cheesy Christmas lunch or party with a larger group.
However, on top of all of that, there will also be a fabulous street food menu available all day if you’re looking for some more budget-friendly options. When it comes to eating at the Raqluette Bar or igloos, booking is essential.

We should be hearing some more information about the return of the pop-up very soon and will keep you updated. However, they’ve announced on Instagram that it will be returning on October 31, 2024. You’ll be able to find ‘Fire and Fromage’ along the South Bank, usually nestled between the National Theatre and the Southbank Centre. For more information, click here to visit their website.
