Our pretty pub, in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, is the best place to celebrate Christmas 2026.
There’s no place better on Planet Earth (or possibly the universe) to indulge in some festive tomfoolery. With beautifully decorated spaces, buzzing vibes, totally toast-able wines (the fancy kind) and all your favourite festive foods galore.
This Christmas you are spoilt for choice with our private party spaces and delicious dining packages– all spot-on for hosting large (or small) get-togethers.
If you’re already dreaming of those tempting Christmas eats, feast your eyes on our super-stuffed Christmas food menus (jam-packed with all traditional treats ) and our Christmas Sharing Boards (perfect for those casual drinks & nibbles parties).
This part of the pub really comes alive at Christmas time. Private cocktail bar, adorable twinkly lights, classic Christmas decorations, plus heaters, fluffy blankets (perfect for cosy-ing up under). Tuck into our belt-loosening 3-course Christmas Feast menu, or our festive sharers, along with our Grinch-proof party packages.
Capacity: Up to 125 guests standing | 70 seated.
It’s that bottle-popping time of year. And you don’t need a reason to pop into your favourite Tunbridge Wells pub. But, with awesome DJs, festive feasting and an epic New Year’s Eve party, you’re going to have a calendar packed with unmissable Christmas events.
Spend Christmas Day at our uber-cosy pub in the heart of Tunbridge Wells. Expect the warmest welcome, a mouth-watering 3-course Christmas feast, and a whole host of celebratory Christmas tipples.
Or, if you’ve got Christmas Day feasting sorted (well done you), swing by for a drink and raise a toast before heading home for carving and figgy pudding flambéing duties.
Small group? Big Party Vibes.
Who says you need a big group to enjoy a brilliant Christmas celebration? Our Christmas Party Night is just the ticket.
Gather your favourite people and settle in for an evening of delicious food, great wine and plenty of festive cheer. Enjoy a three-course Christmas feast with wine included, then let your hair down as our live entertainment gets everyone in the Christmas spirit. Perfect for smaller groups who still want to celebrate big.
Join us on Thursday 3rd December or Thursday 10th December to kick start the festive season in style.
From a three-course feast to a weekend away, or simply a quiet couple of pints in their favourite local, treat someone special and give the gift of the pub this Christmas.
From seasonal salty nibbles, to more traditional treats, our kitchen team cook up a storm at Christmas time. Oozey Camemberts with plenty of bread for dipping, piles of crisp roast potatoes and gallons of gravy. Christmas is that oh-go-on-then time of the year and we’re here for it.
Cheers-able occasions are around every corner at Christmas time. Winter cocktails, hot mulled wine, and that ultimate kick-the-party-off glass of bubbly. We’ve got a bucket-load of choice when it comes to drinks – whatever tickles your tinsel.
Christmas drinks with the girls, the office knees-up, plus those post-work pints (after joyfully clicking on the ‘Out of Office’) and big family feasts. There’s a million-and-one reasons to come together to celebrate this Christmas.
