Our Christmas Day Menu

Our No Gluten Christmas Day Menu

Our Kids Christmas Day Menu

A bowl of soup served on a plate with two slices of bread topped with butter, sitting on a wooden restaurant table along with another plate of food. Cutlery, serviettes, a glass of white wine, a cocktail, and two green Christmas crackers also sit on the table; and two people are sitting at the table, one holding a knife, and the other holding a spoon.

Start with something special

Every Christmas feast deserves an opening act worthy of the occasion.

Begin with toasted ciabatta topped with smoked salmon, rocket and horseradish mayo, savour our beautifully light Croxton Manor Mature Cheddar Soufflé or warm up with comforting Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup.

If rich festive flavours are calling your name, our Chicken Liver & Brandy Pâté is ready to answer. It's enough to make waiting for the main course feel like the longest part of Christmas.

The plates sit on a wooden restaurant table along with drinks, a tealight, and a Christmas cracker; and two people sitting at the table are holding their knives and forks above the plates.

The delicious classic, with all the trimmings

Let’s be honest, this is the bit everyone’s been waiting for. The main event. The reason someone always checks the menu before they’ve even booked.

Our hand-carved Turkey Dinner arrives with everything Christmas should include: stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, garlic & rosemary roast potatoes, buttery mash, seasonal vegetables, braised red cabbage, a pig in blanket and lashings of rich gravy.

Looking to start a new festive tradition?

Our Salmon & Prawn Wellington wrapped in golden pastry is a showstopper, while the Surf & Turf combines an 8oz sirloin steak with garlic & coriander king prawns for a Christmas dinner that's a little different, in all the right ways.

Vegetarian? You're in safe hands too. Our Croxton Manor Cheddar, Double Gloucester & Leek Pie and Cranberry Glazed Nut Roast prove festive meat-free dining can steal the spotlight just as easily.

A close up view of a slice of chocolate brownie drizzled with sauce, topped with a scoop of ice cream, and served on a plate. The plate sits on a wooden restaurant table along with a glass of mulled wine, a red serviette, and a green Christmas cracker; and a person at the table is holding a spoon above the plate.

There's always room...

You might say you’re full. We hear that every year. Then dessert arrives.

Whether it's a traditional Christmas Pudding with custard or brandy sauce, a silky Vanilla & Pistachio Cheesecake, a warm Triple Chocolate Brownie drizzled with Baileys caramel sauce or a comforting Bramley Apple & Black Cherry Crumble, our desserts know exactly how to finish Christmas Day.

Then, just when you thought the feast was over...

A warm mince pie arrives.

But Santa said we can't give everything away, so have a little peek yourself...
