Vagabond’s Viral Fondue is Back – with a Black Truffle Upgrade

Vagabond Wines has announced the return of its festive fondue for winter 2025. This year, the indulgence goes up a notch with the launch of a Black Truffle Swiss Fondue upgrade – a decadent twist designed to elevate the sharing experience.

The bubbling pot of Swiss cheese served with toasted baguette, soft-herb potatoes and pickles, is perfect for enjoying with friends across Vagabond’s bars this winter. 

Guests can now supercharge their pot with rich black truffle, alongside the return of fan-favourite add-ons including pigs-in-blankets, portobello mushrooms and Serrano with gnocco fritto.

The fondue will be available across the entire Vagabond estate, including the newest openings at Liverpool Street and First Dates Restaurant at Paternoster Square, St Pauls, cementing it as a city-wide winter ritual for cheese lovers, date-nighters and group celebrations alike. 

Christobell Giles, Managing Director of Vagabond Wines, said: “Fondue was pure joy last year – it gave guests permission to gather, indulge, and have fun, and it delivered real commercial results too. We wanted to build on that energy rather than simply repeat it, so this year we’ve turned up the flavour dial. 

“The black truffle upgrade is for people who really want to lean in and make those winter moments special. It’s a classic Vagabond move: keep the experience playful, keep it delicious, and give people a reason to come back.”

The Festive Fondue is available now across all Vagabond bars, with pricing starting from £22 per person and a truffle upgrade available at an additional cost (£6 per person). Early bookings are strongly encouraged.
