What to Expect from Our Boxing Day Menu

Our Boxing Day lunch menu draws on the same principles as the rest of our food and drink offering: thoughtfully sourced, confidently prepared, and generous in spirit. Expect classic seasonal flavours — think tender roasted meats, rich gravies, and all the trimmings — alongside dishes that make the most of local Gloucestershire suppliers. Vegetarian and dietary-specific options are available, so everyone at the table is well looked after.

Because we know Boxing Day is as much about the company as the food, our dining rooms are set up to encourage lingering. There’s no need to rush; take your time, order a second glass of something warming, and let the day unfold at its own pace.
