Our Festive Fayre menu brings the classic flavours of Christmas to the table, with each course playing its part. Begin with a tempting starter, move on a mouthwatering main before finishing with an indulgent dessert.
At {{venue name}}, we think the starter has a pretty tough job. It’s the first plate to arrive, and it has to make an impression. But our options are certainly not living in the shadow of the main or a quick bite to keep hunger at bay before the big event.
Our Festive Fayre starters deserve their moment in the spotlight. Take our Three Cheese Croquettes, packed with rich, oozy flavour and perfectly paired with a festive chutney for that tempting twist of sweet and savoury. Or our Pigs in Blankets, tossed in a maple and orange glaze for a delicious burst of sweet, citrusy flavour.
Our Smoked Salmon on toasted ciabatta is a timeless classic that never fails to impress.
And for our vegetarian and vegan guests, there’s our Spiced
Turkey is a Christmas classic, but ours has earned its place on our menu for taste, not just tradition. Juicy, succulent and bursting with flavour, there’s not a dry bite in sight. Our hand-carved turkey comes with all the trimmings, including pigs in blankets, a Yorkshire pudding, duck-fat roast potatoes, festive stuffing, seasonal vegetables and rich gravy.
But who says you have to stick to turkey? Christmas is all about enjoying your favourites, so if turkey isn’t yours, there’s plenty more to tempt you. Our Festive Burger brings together beef with Merlot beef dripping gravy, maple-glazed pigs in blankets and melted Camembert. It’s made for big mouthfuls, messy fingers and plenty of napkins for clean up.
Or tuck into our Half Roasted Duck, served on a bed of creamy mash with maple bacon sprouts, braised red cabbage, charred orange and Merlot beef dripping gravy. And for a meat-free festive feast, our Roasted Root Vegetable Tart is packed with seasonal flavour, served with festive stuffing and a rich tomato Napolitana sauce.
A festive feast isn’t complete without a sweet treat at the end. It’d be like Christmas morning without the presents or a beautifully decorated tree without its star. Even Santa needs his mince pie fix to make it through Christmas Eve, so be sure to save room for one of our tempting puddings.
You might feel more than full after your starter and main, but there’s nothing like the promise of a delicious dessert to give you a second wind. And when they’re as tempting as ours, you won’t want to miss out. Even if it means undoing a button or two. We won’t judge.
Our Christmas Pudding is served with your choice of creamy custard or Jersey clotted cream ice cream. Prefer something chocolatey? Try our Chocolate Caramel Torte with Jersey clotted cream ice cream. Or tuck into our warm Maple Pecan Tart, served with Jersey clotted cream ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Traditional turkey dinners, all the tasty trimmings plus your favourite seasonal starters and tempting treats for pudding. Our mouth-watering Christmas meal menus are here to satisfy everyone at the table, vegetarians, vegans and children included.
