Then, guests were invited upstairs to the [Seamus Heaney Library](https://www.doylecollection.com/hotels/the-bloomsbury-hotel/meetings/the-seamus-heaney-library) for a three-course buffet menu built, of course, around slow-cooked turkey. ![](https://media.slman.com/-xPoZo2Vx1x3yBowAaoa59m6kWI=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fslman-101225-festive-lunch-5.jpg) ![](https://media.slman.com/7CYQ-hpTsSN2fUsaWclLSEWdiw8=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fslman-101225-festive-lunch-6.jpg) ![](https://media.slman.com/1ehQNjxyfso3e8KV1IbhHRGJe0w=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fslman-101225-festive-lunch-7.jpg) ## The Guests [Chris Robshaw](https://www.instagram.com/chrisrobshawrugby/) [Charlie Casely-Hayford](https://www.instagram.com/charliecaselyhayford/) [Wilfred Cisse](https://www.instagram.com/wilfredcisse/) [Ryan Libbey](https://www.instagram.com/ryan.libbey/) [Andrew Georgiades](https://www.instagram.com/andrewgeorgiades/) [James Yates](https://www.instagram.com/yatesy17/) [Harry Jameson](https://www.instagram.com/harryjamesonpt/) [Tunde Ogunsina](https://www.instagram.com/tundeogun/) [Harry Sellers](https://www.instagram.com/harry__sellers/) [Benedict Browne](https://www.instagram.com/benedict_browne/) [James Holdworth](https://www.instagram.com/james__holdsworth/) [Carl Thompson](https://www.instagram.com/carlthompson/) [Gary Salter](https://www.instagram.com/instagazman/) [Aaron Christian](https://www.instagram.com/aaronchristian_/) [Ramzan Miah](https://www.instagram.com/ramzan_miah/) [Christian Petty](https://www.instagram.com/christianptty/) [Harvey James](https://www.instagram.com/harvjam/) ![](https://media.slman.com/HpDuxrgwGWpQEJTYqy1vcv-4P9U=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fslman-101225-festive-lunch-8.jpg) ![](https://media.slman.com/WLtxpW2qjskWJdYWvRrzTAoMXZ4=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fslman-101225-festive-lunch-9.png) ![](https://media.slman.com/6cZuE1BHwZHVMltw2OlNdsl1h6E=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fslman-101225-festive-lunch-10.jpg) ![](https://media.slman.com/qQqYqDCBqZs8Kpdk92pA5qZp65Y=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F12%2Fslman-101225-festive-lunch-11.jpg) ## With special thanks to...
