The festive season is all about these special moments, and a Chef & Brewer pub is the perfect backdrop for creating them. From sweet, chocolate box pubs to idyllic country inns, we’ve got everything you need to enjoy the movie-magic Christmas of your dreams. Delicious food, hot drinks, beautifully rustic settings, and who knows – maybe even a visit from the big guy himself! 

Make wonderful new memories with all your loved ones at Chef & Brewer this Christmas – where the warmth of the season and the joys of good company come together in the best way possible. 

Our Christmas dinner

Now, if there’s one thing we’re serious about, it’s food. And our Festive Menu is no exception. Throughout the Christmas season you can indulge in a mouth-watering selection of seasonal dishes.

From Wild Garlic Prawns to Hand Carved Roast Turkey and Lentil, Spinach & Vegetable Wellington, you truly are spoilt for choice. End your festive feast on a high with a sweet treat - will you choose our decadent Melting Festive Bell or opt for our Festive Spiced trifle? Whatever you choose, it’s guaranteed to hit the spot.

For the big day itself, our Christmas Day menu is truly special. Start strong with our Hot Smoked Salmon and Prawn Cocktail, or maybe get stuck into the Croxton Manor Brie & Fig Tarte Tatin.
Of course, we have the traditional, perfectly roasted turkey with all the delicious trimmings, but we’ve also got the exceedingly tasty Barber’s Cauliflower Cheese & Truffle Tart. If you’re feeling extra festive, try our Fillet Steak topped with garlic butter, mushrooms and peppercorn sauce.

And for dessert, how about a slice of Christmas pudding drizzled with brandy mince pie sauce? Feeling a little adventurous? Tuck into our Trio of Festive Puds. Maybe you fancy something savoury – our British Cheese Selection is a great choice. Whatever you’re craving, our Christmas Day menu has exactly what you’re looking for.
