Magical Christmas on the water.

December fine dining on the River Medway. Let’s make your Christmas gathering one to remember..

An atmospheric dining experience for festive gatherings on the River Medway – ideal for groups of 24 to 28 guests.

24 Guests* - Exclusive Venue Hire, a glass of sparkling wine at reception and a 6-course meal:

£3,200

*Additional guests (up to a maximum of 4 additional people), at £80.00 per head.

If you're looking to host a Christmas party that’s less about loud music and more about great conversation, good food, and genuine connection, Leven is Strijd offers something truly special.

During December, our beautifully restored Dutch barge becomes an intimate, atmospheric setting for festive dinners that feel personal and thoughtfully put together. With soft lighting, seasonal decor, and a warm, welcoming feel, it’s the perfect space for teams who want to slow down, celebrate the year, and enjoy each other’s company.

Available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Leven is ideal for relaxed Christmas gatherings, whether it’s your work party, entertaining clients, a large family gathering, a small team dinner, or a festive evening with colleagues and clients. Think candlelit tables, laughter over shared plates, and a space that encourages conversation, not karaoke.

We believe the best celebrations are the ones where everyone feels looked after, and nothing feels rushed. At Leven is Strijd, we create evenings that feel more like memorable dinner parties than traditional office dos, full of warmth, flavour, and a little festive magic.

Let’s make your Christmas gathering one to remember.
