CHRISTMAS DINNER, WITHOUT THE CHRISTMAS DRAMA.

Christmas Day bookings are officially OPEN at The Tickled Trout!

So, if the thought of juggling a turkey, five different timings, a mountain of washing up and someone asking “is dinner ready yet?" fills you with festive dread… we’ve got a better idea.

Leave the cooking to us.

Our chefs are cooking up a traditional four-course feast, with a little something for everyone. Think beef tartare, turkey with all the trimmings, dry-aged steak, a stunning chestnut and cranberry nut roast for plant-based guests, and of course, Christmas pudding to finish — plus plenty more festive favourites along the way.

Basically, everything you want from Christmas Day,just without the oven gloves, stress or washing up.

📆 Friday 25th December 2026
🎟️ £100 per person

Fancy letting us do the cooking this year?
