Looking for a Christmas party venue in Oxford? Pompette offers a cosy setting for festive celebrations, whether you’re planning an intimate dinner or a larger group event. This small French restaurant and wine bar in Summertown can be hired in different ways, with a private dining room for smaller gatherings or exclusive use of the full restaurant for bigger parties.
Inside, the space feels warm and inviting, with exposed brick walls, wooden floors and velvet seating creating a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. The private dining room upstairs has a more intimate feel, with darker walls and ceiling, soft lighting and a large wooden table at its centre, while the main restaurant offers a more open, sociable setting. A fireplace adds to the cosy feel in the colder months, making it an easy place to settle in for a long winter evening.
Festive dining is centred around seasonal set menus, with all-in and drinks packages available. Meals begin with a seasonal drink on arrival and snacks such as olives, salted almonds and ham and manchego croquettes. Starters might include roast pumpkin burrata with chilli and pine nuts or fish soup, followed by mains such as duck egg with black truffle or roast sirloin of beef with seasonal sides. Desserts include panna cotta or kirsch choux buns, finished with tea, coffee and petit fours, with the option to add a cheese course, if you're looking to go all out with your celebration.
Drinks are a strong part of the offering, with a curated wine list alongside cocktails, beers, ciders and seasonal tipples, making it well suited to both sit-down meals and more drinks-led celebrations.
