A Proper Christmas Menu

Our Christmas Day menu is built around all the traditional elements guests expect, from a proper roast with all the trimmings through to a festive dessert to finish. We put real thought into sourcing, working with Gloucestershire suppliers to make sure the produce reflects the quality we’d want on our own tables at Christmas. Dietary requirements can also be accommodated with advance notice, so everyone in your group can enjoy the day properly. You can see more of our general dining offering on our dining page.
