Tucked away in the rolling, verdant countryside around Old Windsor, The Loch & The Tyne is a renowned British gastropub, run by highly respected chef Adam Handling. If you're looking for a Christmas party venue that combines cosy comforts and a touch of class and elegance, this rustic, welcoming gastropub is just the place, offering a menu of sustainable, contemporary British classics, alongside roaring open fires, big comfy armchairs and attentive service.
A smart white and forest green colour scheme runs through the restaurant and bar, from outside to inside, with wooden-panels and beams neatly painted and paired up with polished wooden furniture. The chic decor matches the precise cooking, which takes classic British flavours and dishes and brings them up to date. Come Christmas, guests have a choice between a tasting menu or an a la carte, with a wide range of dishes available. Traditionalists will feel right at home with roast turkey and all the Christmas trimmings, but there are other luxurious options too - mac and cheese with optional black truffle, a beef and lardo burger with Ogleshield cheese and triple cooked chips, roast turbot with pickled kohlrabi and dressed crab, or just a classic plate of fish and chips with mushy peas. Save some room for puddings too - a Christmas pudding with brandy and vanilla, if that's your thing, or try The Loch & The Tyne's famous mulled wine trifle.
Alongside the tasting and a la carte menus, The Loch & The Tyne also offers a vegetarian tasting menu, including dishes like mushroom and shallot tart, potato and Jerusalem artichoke, and Handling's famous 'Mother' dishes of celeriac, apples and dates.
Don't forget about drinks either - The Loch & The Tyne has a handful of festive cocktails on the go, as well as hot mulled wine and cider.
