Whether you pop in for a festive catch-up over a pint of Scotland’s finest or a slap-up meal after a wintery wander – we’ve got the perfect spot waiting for you. And best of all? We’ll take care of everything, including the washing up, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the celebrations.
If you're planning to celebrate Christmas at a pub, Counting House is a fantastic option. With over 300 years of expertise in brewing and hospitality, Belhaven pubs have become known for our connection to Scotland’s rich culture. With our own unique charm, we want you to feel like our pub is your home away from home – which is the perfect way to enjoy the day, away from the stress of hosting (and doing the dishes).
’Tis the season for raising a glass and getting merry! Our festive drinks menu is packed with Christmas cocktails, warming mulled wine and of course, plenty of Belhaven’s finest brews. Whether you’re celebrating with a crisp lager, a rich ale or a festive fizz, we’ve got something to keep the cheer flowing. As for our food-offering, browse our menu to see what we plan on serving this Christmas. And don’t worry, we’ll make sure there’s something for all ages to enjoy.
There’s nothing quite like a traditional pub at Christmas – and Counting House is truly one of the best. Lose yourself the flicker of soft candlelight and the sound of laughter over a round of drinks. Whether you’re settling in for a meal with the family or a well-earned pint after a frosty ramble, you’ll find a warm welcome here in Dumbarton.
With Christmas Day in 2025 falling on a Thursday, it may offer you the perfect chance to extend the celebrations and enjoy a long weekend of merriment. Not least because Boxing Day is a bank holiday across the UK, meaning less days to take off work for a longer break. That’ll mean we’re busy here at Counting House though, so plan ahead and book your table nice and early.
