The Festive Party menu

Monday 23 November — Thursday 24 December 2026

Monday to Saturday

Three courses
£38.50
Two courses
£33.50

Everything you would hope for and a few things you would not have thought to ask for. Crackers on every table, the good glasses out, and a cheeseboard worth staying for.

Children have a menu of their own — starters from £4, mains from £8, desserts from £3.50 — available every day of the week.

Festive Sunday menu

Sundays run to their own menu at their own prices, and it is the only menu we serve that day — the Festive Party menu and the à la carte are monday to saturday. It also carries on well past Christmas, to 10 January 2027.

Tables of 9 or more pre-order from it.

Three courses
£35
Two courses
£30
