It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Christmas in our pub is all about connection. Seasonal food, crafted with care, shared with the people who matter most.

The turkey is slow roasted to stay tender, served with crisp roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, and winter vegetables cooked with precision. Rich, glossy gravy and a tangy cranberry sauce bring everything together.

But it’s the shared plates, the laughter over yuletide tipples, and the feeling of togetherness that make it truly special. And to finish? A perfectly made Christmas pudding, the final indulgent flourish.
