🎄 Christmas Day Lunch – Simple, Traditional, Delicious 🎄
No gimmicks. No frills. Just good, honest food.
Join us for a relaxed Christmas Day lunch where the focus is on the classics—roast turkey with all the proper trimmings, crispy roast potatoes, rich gravy, and a pudding that tastes like Christmas should.
It’s the kind of meal your nan would nod at.
Comforting. Familiar. Done properly.

Limited tables available – bookings essential, deposit and pre-order required.
