The Christmas party season brings together a mix of bold flavours, seasonal ingredients, and crowd-pleasing favourites. While a Christmas menu isn't yet available, guests can usually expect dishes along the likes of panko breaded chicken katsu curry, served with fragrant rice and rich curry sauce, or the lamb shoulder ragu with pappardelle. Traditionalists would love favourites like beer-battered fish and chips, while the fennel sausage and Nduja ragu brings a fiery kick to the table.
For more casual festive feasting, the bowl and bites menu is perfect for mingling while enjoying a spread of delicious small plates. From harissa chicken meatballs and bulgur wheat to courgette and lemon risotto and Thai green curry, the menu offers something for everyone. Meanwhile, bite-sized favourites like Lancashire cheese croquettes, sliders, and sage, apple and pork sausage rolls ensure no one goes hungry between festive drinks.
