Christmas Party Time

You’re going to love our pub at Christmas.

Our halls are decked in true traditional Christmas style, the wine is mulling on the bar and there are mistletoe-wielding merry-makers and secret santas in every corner of the pub.

Chef is cooking up all your festive favourites – crisp roast potatoes, all those naughty nibbly-bits, plus gallons of gravy And (oh yes) there will be turkey. Lots of turkey.

Book your festive family feast, get-together with your mates, or big office knees-up at our lovely pub and let us do all the hard work this Christmas.

Ts AND Cs

Festive Food

From seasonal snacks, to traditional treats – our kitchen team cook up a (snow) storm at Christmas time.

Gooey Camembert (with plenty of bread for dipping) the customary Christmas pudding, piles of crisp roast potatoes and gallons of hug-in-a-jug gravy. Christmas is the ultimate belt-loosening time of the year and we’re here for it.

Celebratory Drinks

Christmas brings us a sack full of toast-able times. Your glass with always be full – but what wit? Classic cocktails, traditional mulled wine? Or perhaps a glass of Champers tickles your tinsel? Whatever you fancy, we’ve got gallons of choice when it comes to drinks.

Christmas Day

Let us handle the basting, peeling, carving and we’ll even pop the wine. Book to join us for an all-guns-blazing Christmas lunch (with all the trimmings) and we’ll take care of everything.

Celebrate in the Sussex Room

This space is slightly separated from the rest of the pub, so you get to celebrate with your Christmas party-ers, but enjoying the festive buzz of the bar. Great for proper sit-down Christmas meals, and also for drinks and nibble parties too.

Up to 30 people

Party in the Ashdown Room

Perfect for getting the whole family together for a festive feast, or for hosting the big office Christmas party. This space is spot-on for both civilised sit-down suppers and more lively mingle-y bashes. For groups large or small.

Up to 40 seated / 60 standing

Testimonials

Terrific Christmas atmosphere in this town centre pub but the staff were welcoming and friendly despite being very busy. Had a couple of glasses of Shiraz, which was excellent, and not overpriced. Food was excellent.

Christmas Day dinner. What a fabulous afternoon we had on Christmas day. First time we’ve ever eaten out for Xmas dinner and it didn’t disappoint. Great friendly service, wasn’t rushed through courses, and the food was very good. Will be back next year

Yep – we’re open and roasting from midday til 6pm. Christmas Day lunches must be pre-booked, but you’re welcome to rock up for a drink.

Oh yes. We love a big bash, especially at Christmas. You can host a sit-down dinner with up to 40 people or a drinks & nibbles party for up to 60 people.
