It’s Official… Christmas Has Arrived at The Boars Head!


We know, we know… it might feel slightly early to be talking about Christmas.

But when the festive menus are out, the diary is open and Christmas bookings have officially begun, we think we're allowed to get a little bit excited!

Christmas at The Boars Head is back for 2026, and whether you're organising the annual work Christmas party, getting the whole family together or planning that long-overdue festive catch-up with friends, now is the time to start making plans.

The Christmas Menus Are Out!


One of the best things about Christmas? The food, obviously.

Our chefs have been busy putting together our festive menus for another Christmas at The Boars Head, with plenty of seasonal favourites and delicious choices to get you firmly into the Christmas spirit.

Whether it's a relaxed festive lunch, dinner with friends or a bigger Christmas celebration, there's nothing quite like getting everyone around the table at this time of year.

And best of all?

Someone else is doing the cooking and washing up.

The Work Christmas Party Starts Here


Who's been given the job of organising this year's Christmas do?

Before the group chat descends into 47 different suggestions and nobody can agree on a date, get something in the diary!

Christmas is one of our busiest times of year and we're already taking bookings for festive celebrations.

Whether you're a small team wanting dinner and drinks or you're planning a bigger end-of-year get-together, The Boars Head is a great place to eat, drink and celebrate together.

Family, Friends & Festive Catch-Ups


Christmas isn't just about Christmas Day.

It's the weeks beforehand that we love too – catching up with people you haven't seen for months, getting the family together and finding any excuse for a festive meal and a few drinks.

So whether it's your annual girls' Christmas lunch, dinner with the family or a table full of friends, get everyone together and make an occasion of it.

Christmas jumpers optional.

Although strongly encouraged.

Staying Over? Even Better!


If you're travelling from further afield – or simply don't fancy worrying about who's driving home – why not make a night of it?

With 23 bedrooms at The Boars Head, you can enjoy your Christmas celebrations knowing your bed is only a short walk away.

It also makes organising larger family gatherings that little bit easier when everyone can eat, drink, celebrate and stay in one place.
