Have yourself a merry little Christmas Day at Compasses

It may be called the festive season, but Christmas Day is the star on top of the tree. December 25th is the big moment we spend weeks looking forward to, so make it one to remember.

Christmas is a time to spend with your nearest and dearest, but that doesn't mean you have to stay home. There's something so special about stepping out and heading to your favourite local pub for a festive feast complete with all the trimmings.

Good food, good company and a table set for the occasion. It’s an unbeatable combination. At {{venue name}}, we’ll take care of the cooking and the clearing away, so you can simply settle in, raise a glass and enjoy a magical Christmas Day. Our set menu spares no expense, with standout starters, mouthwatering mains and tempting puddings that are the cherry on top.

A Christmas Day dinner worth getting out of your pyjamas for

Christmas Day and a delicious dinner go hand in hand. After all, it’s a season made for indulgence. Even Santa himself has to fuel up for his Christmas Eve journey with plenty of mince pies.
At the {{venue name}}, we believe good food is about more than just great taste. It’s about dishes prepared with care, served in a festive setting and enjoyed around a table with the people you love.
Our Christmas Day set menu brings together all the classics that taste like Christmases gone by. Golden roast potatoes, rich gravy and fluffy Yorkshire puddings made for soaking it all up, alongside pigs in blankets and seasonal vegetables.

And if turkey isn’t quite your thing, there’s plenty more to choose from. It’s a day for everyone to enjoy their festive favourites.

Start your celebration in style

A starter is not just a quick bite to keep your hunger at bay while the main course is cooking. At {{venue name}}, our Christmas Day set menu starters are the opening act for a festive feast.
They’re the first delicious bite to get everyone settled in, taste buds tingling and appetites ready for more.

Maybe you fancy Black Tiger Prawns pan-fried in garlic, chilli and herbs, or our twice-baked Croxton Manor & Chive Soufflé. Our Spiced Minestrone Soup is perfect for vegetarians and vegans, while our Chicken Liver & Marmalade Pâté delivers rich, indulgent flavours.

A glass of white wine, two green Christmas crackers, a red serviette, and a red taper candle also sit on the table, and a person at the table is holding their knife and fork above the plate.

Get ready for the main event

Our turkey main isn’t on the menu simply because it’s tradition. It’s there because it’s a truly delicious choice, and one that keeps people coming back for more.

Our hand-carved turkey is served with all the Christmas classics, including pigs in blankets, a golden Yorkshire pudding, duck-fat roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, festive stuffing, seasonal vegetables and a rich, indulgent gravy.

If turkey isn’t your thing, there’s plenty to tempt every taste. Our slow-cooked Beef Cheek Carbonnade is tender, rich and melt-in-the-mouth, cooked in a rich ale gravy and served with a potato, sprout and West Country Cheddar hash.

If you fancy a festive fish dish, our Grilled Seabass & Black Tiger Prawns comes served on crushed potatoes with peas, samphire, char-grilled lemon and a silky béarnaise sauce.

And for vegetarians and vegans, our Roasted Root Vegetable Tart is packed with seasonal flavour, served alongside crispy roast potatoes, festive stuffing, seasonal vegetables and tomato Napolitana sauce.

A close up view of two slices of Christmas pudding served on a plate with berries and a scoop of ice cream. The plate sits on a wooden restaurant table along with two green Christmas crackers and a mug of mulled wine; and a person at the table is holding a spoon above the plate.

Go on, it’s Christmas...

Christmas is certainly not a day to hold back. It’s a chance to truly treat yourself, and as we like to say, there’s always room for pudding - especially when they sound this good!
Our classic Christmas Pudding can be enjoyed with your choice of creamy custard or Jersey clotted cream ice cream.

Love chocolate? Our Chocolate Caramel Torte is sure to hit the spot, served with Jersey clotted cream ice cream and a delicious chocolate-flavoured sauce.

Prefer something nutty and indulgent? Our Maple Pecan Tart can be made vegan-friendly and is served with Jersey clotted cream ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
