The best part of Christmas isn’t under the tree—it’s who’s sitting across the table from you. 🥂

From 17th November right through to 5th January, our fire is lit and the festive menu is ready. Think candlelit corners, paper crowns, proper roasts, and those long, lovely catch-ups where time just disappears.

The season passes in a blink and tables are filling fast. Save your spot now so we can take care of you! 🎄
