Let’s be honest: Christmas Lunch is the highlight of the holiday season, but making it is a different story.
So, here are some of the reasons why choosing to have your Christmas lunch with us might be the best decision you make.
Christmas Lunch Dilemma 1: The Chef is Stuck in the Kitchen
This is the big one! While everyone is sharing stories, pulling crackers, and getting stuck into the Quality Streets, one or two important people are chained to the kitchen. Christmas is about being together, and it’s a real shame when the very people who made it happen miss out on precious time with family and friends.
A major benefit of booking lunch at the Kings Arms is that everyone gets to be together. Your usual cook gets to be a guest! The kids get your full attention. You can all relax, have a proper chat, and enjoy each other’s company from start to finish.
Christmas Lunch Dilemma 2: The Great Festive Clean-Up
You’ve enjoyed the last mince pie. You’re full, happy, and ready to slump on the sofa with the King’s speech (or Love Actually). But wait! There’s a mountain of pots, pans, and plates staring at you from the kitchen. Gravy has cemented itself to the worktop, and stuffing debris is everywhere.
Now imagine this: you finish your delicious meal, push your plate away, and that’s it! No scrubbing, no washing up, no bin bags overflowing. Our fantastic team will whisk everything away, leaving you free to enjoy a quiet pint, a coffee, or sit back and bask in the festive glow. Pure bliss.
Christmas Lunch Dilemma 3: The Hidden Cost of ‘Saving Money’
“We’ll save money by eating at home.” Sound familiar? Then you get the receipt for the turkey, the gammon, all the trimmings, the pigs in blankets, the vegetables, Christmas pudding, brandy butter, cheese board, crackers, and all the wine and fizz… and it’s eye-watering!
Suddenly, the cost per head isn’t looking so different from a lavish, professionally cooked meal where you didn’t have to lift a finger.
The Answer to Your Problems: Christmas Lunch at The Kings Arms
At the Kings Arms, our talented Head Chef Robbie has spent weeks perfecting our Christmas Day menu. We’re talking succulent turkey or beef with all the festive trimmings, roasted vegetables cooked to perfection, or even lobster or nut roast and much more.
We handle the sourcing, the prepping, the cooking, and the timing. All you have to do is decide what you want to eat, then turn up, and tuck in!
If you can’t wait till Christmas Day itself, we also have a Festive Menu that will be available throughout December to get you into the holiday spirit.
The Festive Atmosphere: Our Secret Ingredient
There’s something truly magical about The Kings Arms at Christmas that you can’t replicate at home. The twinkling lights, the crackling fire, the sound of happy chatter from other families and the genuine laughter from a table full of friends. It’s a shared celebration that fills the room with a sense of community and joy.
So, this year, give yourself the gift of time. Gather your loved ones, leave the stress at home, and let us make your Christmas lunch a truly memorable one.
Spaces are filling up faster than a Christmas stocking, so don’t delay!
