'Tis the season to enjoy our Christmas menu

We believe the festivities should start with a feast, and our Festive Fayre Christmas menu has everything you need for a fab-yule-ous meal with the ones you love.

Whether you're looking for a good spot for a catch-up with mates or you're in charge of planning the annual office outing, Ardencaple Hotel is here to serve up tasty bites with a side of seasonal joy.

Christmas is a time to gather together, but entertaining a crowd can be a chore. So let us take on the hosting so you can get into the holiday spirit.

Tuck into hearty plates, wash everything down with a glass of something special from our bar, and when you're done, sit back and let us clear things away. At Ardencaple Hotel, it's all the treats with none of the tidy-up.

Book with a deposit of £5 pp.

OUR FESTIVE Fayre MENU

Christmas_UHT_People_Lifestyle_Day-1-Thames-Ditton_2026_053.jpg

Join us this Christmas for merry moments

From the first festive bite to the final spoonful of dessert, our Christmas menu is full of seasonal flavours worth celebrating.

Think comforting starters to kick things off, hand-carved turkey with all the trimmings, tasty pies, stacked burgers loaded with seasonal favourites and delicious vegetarian options that deserve a place at the table too. Then round things off with indulgent Christmas desserts that'll have you wondering whether there's always room for pudding after all.

Even better, our Festive Fayre menu is available from the 28th of October until the 3rd of January (excluding Christmas Day and New Year's Eve), with two and three-course options available.

A £5 per person deposit secures your booking, leaving you with just one thing to organise... who's getting the first round?

Start stong. Start festive.

Every great Christmas dinner menu feast deserves a proper curtain-raiser.

Get things started with flavours made for the season, from comforting crowd-pleasers to Christmas-inspired twists that'll have everyone reaching across the table for 'one more'.

Fancy something that'll get everyone talking? Our Maple Glazed Pigs in Blankets makes your Christmas favourite even better, served with a maple orange glaze.

Because waiting until the main course is a Christmas crime.

A glass of white wine, two green Christmas crackers, a red serviette, and a red taper candle also sit on the table, and a person at the table is holding their knife and fork above the plate.

The Christmas dinner of dreams

Now for the bit everyone's secretly been thinking about since last year.

Whether your perfect Christmas plate is piled high with comforting classics, loaded with oozy cheese or packed with hearty seasonal flavours, we've got something with your name on it.

Fancy the traditional route? We've a Half Roast Duck that bring all the cosy, home-from-the-cold vibes.

More of a comfort-food connoisseur? Expect rich flavours, indulgent toppings and plenty of reasons to loosen the trousers up for with our Festive Burger, topped with merlot beef dripping gravy, pigs in blankets and melted camembert.

Prefer to skip the meat? Our veggie options more than hold their own at the Christmas table. Like our Roasted Root Vegetable Tart with crispy roast potatoes.

Because the only thing better than Christmas dinner... is someone else cooking it.

Christmas calories don't count...

You've come this far. It'd be rude not to.

Whether your sweet tooth demands chocolate, creamy indulgence or something wonderfully over-the-top, our desserts are ready to round off your meal in style. Our Maple Pecan Tart is a nutty fan favourite, served with a scoop of Jersey clotted cream ice cream.

It's Christmas, after all. The rules about saving room? They don't really apply in December.

Why our pubs for Christmas 2026?

Christmas is all about being together. The stories, the laughs, the terrible cracker jokes and the annual debate about who gets the last roast potato.

Bring the family together for a festive meal without the stress of cooking for everyone. We'll take care of the food, the drinks and the clearing up, so you can focus on making memories.

Because the best part of Christmas isn't spending hours in the kitchen. It's enjoying the people around the table.

It's the season to party

Christmas parties are better when there's no meeting room, no awkward small talk by the printer and definitely no spreadsheet involved.

Whether it's a team celebration, a family get-together or a chance to reunite the whole gang, our pub has a traditional, individual character, and our function room is a reflection of that.

And as well as the ideal destination, we take pride in offering mouth-watering festive menus across the season, plus the wide selection of drinks you'd expect from us to help your party go with a bang.
