Why not relax into a luxurious, stress-free Christmas lunch here at the farm? Let our team take the strain, create a wonderful festive atmosphere and serve you delicious food. No fights about the menu – we have options for Goose lovers, those who must have a Wellington, the Vegans and the Pescatarians in your group. No fights about who gets up early to put the roast in the oven or who does the washing up. As we did last year, we are offering a midday lunch service for those with younger children or who “need” to get home for the King’s Address or a 3pm service for those who may want to linger on lunch after a leisurely Brunch.

Of course, that’s our set-piece Christmas…you may prefer something more personal, more intimate or on a different date. We are, as always, happy to to cater more personally for your group.
