Christmas & New Year's Eve
Book nowperfect festive menus
What makes a perfect Christmas or New Year’s menu? Tradition? Of course. Luxury? That’s a given. But most importantly, a festive menu should feature produce that’s in season and flavours that remind us gently of Christmases gone by. For our Christmas menus that means goose and chestnuts, clementines and the perfect balance of dried fruit and winter spices in a Christmas pudding. At New Year’s Eve our theme is feasting, an opportunity to push the boat out and indulge in the most luxurious of ingredients from Scottish langoustines to a glorious venison Wellington.
