Christmas Day at the Castle Droitwich
Forget the gifts. This is the good stuff. Spending Christmas Day at the Castle just makes sense – it's like salt and pepper or peach schnapps and lemonade. Meant to be. We're dreaming of a grilled Christmas Day this year, and while you'll be glad to know we've held off on grilling the turkey, we've pulled together a festive feast for the history books. Steak on Christmas Day, anyone?
The best part about spending Christmas Day at ours? We've got the details locked in. Cooking? Sorted. Washing up? We've done it. A free glass of prosecco or orange juice? Of course! Unreal value for money? Well, we wouldn't be Castle without it!
Just make sure you pre-book and place your pre-order. Because otherwise we won't know what to cook for you. And that might ruin Christmas Day. Anyways, we'll see you on the big day!
Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noel! Feliz Navidad! It's CHRISTMAS!
Our Christmas Day menu is just £54.99 for 3 courses and £21.99 for children. Deposit £10 per adult and £5 per child.
