About this Event
One table. Great people. A year worth celebrating. And 2027 firmly in sight.
BOOM Christmas Lunch is our final Signature Event of 2026, bringing together founders, business owners and senior leaders for an afternoon of exceptional food, great conversation and relaxed celebration at Smith & Wollensky, London.
This isn’t another corporate Christmas party.
It isn’t another networking event with a Christmas hat on.
It’s BOOM at Christmas.
Throughout 2026, people have come together through BOOM Networking, BOOM Inner Circle and the wider BOOM community.
On 10 December, we’re bringing some of those people together around the Christmas table.
There’ll be plenty of time to eat, drink, laugh and enjoy the afternoon — but, as you’d expect from BOOM, there’ll also be a little more to it.
What are you taking into 2027?
A decision.
A relationship.
An opportunity.
Something you’re going to do differently.
Or something you’re finally going to stop doing.
Because sometimes one conversation, one introduction or one decision can change the direction of an entire year.

The Venue
Located in the heart of London, Smith & Wollensky is known for exceptional steak, premium hospitality and classic New York-style dining.
For BOOM Christmas Lunch, we’ll be gathering within one of the venue’s private dining rooms for a more intimate and conversational experience than a traditional business Christmas event.
Expect beautifully prepared food, great service and an atmosphere designed for conversations that actually go somewhere.
The Menu
Guests will enjoy a premium three-course festive menu with family-style sides.
Sample dishes include:
- USDA Prime Sirloin Carpaccio
- Oak Smoked Salmon
- Roast Bronze Turkey
- Braised Lamb Shank
- Pan-Fried Stone Bass
- Premium USDA & Angus steak options
- Traditional Christmas desserts & cheeses
The final menu will be confirmed closer to the event and dietary requirements can be accommodated.
Who Will Be In The Room
Around the table you’ll find founders, business owners, CEOs, Managing Directors and senior leaders from a range of sectors.
Some will already know each other.
Some won’t.
That’s part of the point.
No pitching.
No forced networking.
No awkward icebreakers.
No pressure.
Just a carefully considered group, a brilliant setting and enough time for conversations to go somewhere.
If you prefer a smaller, conversation-led format throughout the year, you can also explore BOOM Inner Circle.
Guest Access
Guest Access – £195 + VAT
A limited number of Guest Access places are available for founders, business owners and senior leaders who would like to join us for the afternoon.
This is not simply another Christmas lunch.
It’s an opportunity to spend an afternoon around a carefully selected group of business leaders, enjoy exceptional food and wine, and finish the year with some genuinely worthwhile people around the table.
Guest places are deliberately limited, so if you’re thinking about joining us on 10 December, secure your place while availability remains.
