Best American Takeaways in London

M Restaurants

International grill, bar and wine tasting room was born on Thanksgiving, meaning the holiday has always been one of its most celebrated. Usually decadent parties take place across the restaurants, but this year’s festivities come in the form of a four-course festive feast. Begin with buttermilk fried chicken and cornbread before tucking into the main: turkey en croute with all the trimmings. Save some space for the cheese course, and round things off on a sweet note with a pumpkin and candied yam pie. There’s also an option to add two bottles of Californian wines into the mix. 4-course menu for 2 for £150, £200 with wines. mrestaurants.co.uk

Darby’s

Robin Gill’s Manhattan-inspired restaurant celebrates Thanksgiving with a four-course takeaway feast of deep-fried truffle mac & cheese, lobster cocktail, mayonnaise roasted bronze turkey and an apple pie to finish. £60 for two people, darbys-london.com

Dirty Bones

A good compromise between ordering a full-blown American takeaway and cooking your own is Dirty Bones’ DIY kits. The boxes contain everything you need to build burgers for two to four people, from the classic to the vegan to the extra indulgent ‘Mac Daddy’: beef patties layered in cheesy macaroni.
