CHRISTMAS DAY 2026
Christmas Day,
around the table.
No rushing. No mountain of washing up waiting in the kitchen. Just your favourite people around the table and Christmas dinner taken care of.
For Christmas Day 2026 at The Allerford, we’re planning something intentionally festive: one relaxed lunch sitting, a series of family tables and a four-course festive lunch with the warmth and familiarity of Christmas at home.
The main event will be served in the style of our famous carvery – carved beef, turkey & gammon, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and all the trimmings brought straight to your table for everyone to share.
We’ll bring you your welcome drinks upon arrival and your job is to sit back and enjoy the day. Feel free to share gifts, read awful cracker jokes, don your paper hat in style and relax. We’ll take care of all the work.
FRIDAY 25 DECEMBER 2026
ONE RELAXED LUNCH SITTING
FOUR COURSES
adult price £109
under 13’s price £49
Our Christmas Day menus are ready! Visit our Christmas Day 2026 page to find out more and book in!
Christmas dinner.
None of the washing up.
CHRISTMAS PARTIES & WORK DOS
Clock off
properly.
You’ve survived another year of emails, meetings and pretending someone’s leaving-do buffet counted as lunch. You deserve a decent Christmas party.
Whether it’s the whole company, your team or simply the people you actually like from work, bring everyone together for good food, full glasses and a properly festive celebration at The Allerford.
WORK CHRISTMAS PARTIES
Give the group chat something to talk about.
Round up the team, swap the office for The Allerford and finish the year on considerably better terms.
FRIENDS & FAMILY
Get everyone around the same table.
The people you love, plenty to eat and nobody volunteering their house for the washing up.
FESTIVE DINING
December tastes better like this.
Festive lunches, dinners and get-togethers for the people who don’t necessarily need a dance floor to celebrate Christmas.
CHRISTMAS PARTY NIGHTS
Dinner. Drinks.
Then dance.
We’re working on something bigger for the weekends before Christmas.
Think festive food, a room full of people ready for Christmas, drinks flowing and live music carrying the night through.
Plans are still being finalised, but if your Christmas party needs considerably more dancing, you might want to keep an eye on this one.

VERY
MERRY
A VERY MERRY BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH
Bottomless.
But make it Christmas.
Round up the group chat. We’re exploring a festive bottomless brunch packed with Christmas food, flowing drinks and a soundtrack with absolutely no respect for subtlety.
We’re still working out the details, so consider this your early warning.
FESTIVE SUNDAYS · FROM NOVEMBER
Turns out, we were already halfway to Christmas.
Turkey. Pork. Beef. Stuffing. Roasties. Yorkshires. Vegetables. Cranberry sauce. Plenty of gravy.
Our Sunday carvery has never exactly been shy about the trimmings. So from November, we’re leaning all the way in.
We’ll be adding pigs-in-blankets, Brussels sprouts, bread sauce and braised red cabbage, alongside Christmas desserts, our festive drinks menu and a little extra seasonal magic around the tables.
Same great Sunday.
A little more Christmas.
Brussels sprouts
Because apparently it isn’t Christmas until somebody argues about them.
Bread sauce
A Christmas essential joining an already fairly ridiculous collection of trimmings.
Braised red cabbage
Rich, warming and unmistakably festive.
THE FESTIVE DRINKS MENU
Something festive
in your glass.
Because Christmas dinner is only half the story.
Throughout the festive season, the bar will be getting its own Christmas treatment too, with a dedicated festive drinks menu made for long lunches, Christmas parties and staying for one more.
Full festive drinks menu coming soon.
SAVE ROOM
Christmas deserves
pudding.
Our festive Sundays will be joined by a selection of Christmas desserts too. We’ll reveal the full line-up once the menus are ready.
