We're busy preparing for Christmas day 2025 at The Sherlock Holmes, St James's

Enjoy a memorable meal in our inviting surroundings

Christmas Day is all about making lasting memories with the ones you love, so why waste time chopping, cooking, roasting and cleaning when you could be toasting the occasion? Put on your Sunday best and come and join us at the Sherlock Holmes, where we're pulling out all the stops to wow you with a festive feast to remember. 

Whether it's all your friends and family, or just you and someone special, we're busy getting ready to celebrate with a carefully curated menu and a bar fully stocked with the finest cask ales, fine wines and bubbly. Say cheers with a glass of Chapel Down English Sparkling, then savour one of our tempting starters, like our Beef Rillette with caramelised onion, warmed sourdough, truffle & thyme butter and golden beetroot piccalilli.

A variety of dishes on a table.

Of course, the main event is not to be missed. Our Turkey Roast is created with love and care by our chefs, served to perfection with all the trimmings you love, from crispy duck fat roast potatoes and sausage meat stuffing to Chantenay carrots and rich gravy.

And if you feel like something a little different, we've thought of that too. Why not sample our Atlantic Cod & Chips, with tartare sauce, pea puree, charred lemon and citrus salt, or our Smoked Bacon & Cheddar Beef Burger, with Barber's Vintage Cheddar, seasoned fried and home-picked onion rings.

We'll keep the drinks flowing of course, with festive cocktails, mulled wine, premium spirits and cask ales all behind the bar.

Just be sure to leave room for pudding – you won't want to miss our White Forest Giant Profiterole, served with white chocolate mousse, orange Sablé biscuits and sour cherry drizzle.

Our Christmas Day menu is served between 12pm and 3pm, and tables are walk-in only.
