The more the merrier we say, and that's why our traditional Christmas dinners include all the special festive extras for that final touch of magic. From Brussels sprouts to pigs in blankets, we offer it all!

OUR CHRISTMAS DAY MENU
Christmas Parties Upgraded with Function Space Hire
Annual work Christmas parties are a chance for employees to let their hair down. To relax and enjoy themselves, to feel rewarded, and to celebrate the end of the year and the start of the Christmas holiday season. Throw your team the Christmas party they deserve in a unique, charming location at our pub.
Our versatile function spaces can accommodate parties of various sizes, and can be adapted to the kind of Christmas party you want us to host, whether that’s a sit-down meal, party games, dancing, or a mix throughout the night.
Our experienced staff are dedicated to ensuring your event runs smoothly, and we can assist with everything from catering options to entertainment arrangements.
Christmas dinner worth gathering for
There’s nothing quite like a proper Christmas dinner. The golden roast potatoes. The fluffy Yorkshire puddings. The moment everyone goes quiet because the first bite is that good.
Our Christmas Day dinner menu brings together all the festive favourites, from hand-carved roast turkey with all the trimmings to delicious alternatives for those looking to try something a little different.
Expect generous plates packed with seasonal flavours, including duck fat potatoes, pigs in blankets, seasonal vegetables, festive stuffing and rich, delicious gravy.
And if turkey isn’t your thing? Don’t worry. We’re not here to start a Christmas dinner debate; there's plenty to choose from...
Start with something special
Every great Christmas Day dinner needs a good opening act. That’s where our festive starters come in.
Think pan-fried black tiger prawns with garlic, chilli and herbs, or a twice-baked Croxton Manor & Chive Soufflé served with our festive chutney.
Because Christmas calories don’t count. It’s basically a festive rule.
The delicious classic, with all the trimmings
Let’s be honest, this is the bit everyone’s been waiting for. The main event. The reason someone always checks the menu before they’ve even booked.
Our Christmas Day dinner is packed with the classics you know and love. Enjoy succulent turkey served with all the trimmings, including stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, mash, seasonal vegetables, pigs in blankets and plenty of rich gravy.
Prefer something else this year? We’ve got you covered.
Tuck into dishes like Slow-cooked Beef Cheek Carbonnade with a rich ale gravy, or Grilled Seabass & Black Tiger Prawns† with all the wintery sides. The only difficult decision is choosing what goes on your plate first (we recommend starting with the roasties. Obviously.)
There's always room...
You might say you’re full. We hear that every year. Then dessert arrives.
Even if you're stuffed with stuffing, finish off with something indulgent, such as our Chocolate Caramel Torte, served with chocolate sauce and Jersey clotted cream ice cream. Because after all that festive feasting, it would be rude not to.
Whilst a classic Christmas pudding is oh-so-yummy, we've got plenty of special sweet treats that are perfectly naughty AND nice! But the elves said we can't give everything away, so have a little peek yourself...
Why spend Christmas Day at Cuddie Brae
At Cuddie Brae, we believe it's not just the turkey that should feel stuffed at Christmas. It's a time for indulgence, so treat yourself to two courses or go big and opt for the full three courses. Because Christmas dinner is better when you’re actually enjoying it.
No waking up at 6am to start cooking. No trying to fit 17 Christmas recipes into one oven. No mountains of washing up waiting for you afterwards.
And, If you’re out and about in Edinburgh City Centre on Christmas Day, we’re open for a bite to eat and a pint of Belhaven Best.
We’ll serve up the festive favourites, keep the gravy flowing and make sure your only difficult decision is turkey or something a little different.
You bring the Christmas jumpers. We’ll bring the dinner.
Gift the gift of good times
Not sure what to get the foodie in your life? A Belhaven pubs gift card is a guaranteed winner. Whether they fancy a cosy pub meal, an impressive spread or a few celebratory drinks, it’s the perfect way to spread some seasonal joy.

Christmas Day only comes around once a year, so make it count.
