Christmas should be about being together, not spending the day stressed in the kitchen while everyone else relaxes with a drink. This year, let us handle the cooking, the timing, and yes – the washing up too.
We’ve planned three Christmas dining experiences that take all the pressure off, so you can focus on what Christmas is really about – enjoying time with the people you care about most.
Christmas Eve Dinner – The Perfect Start
Wednesday 24th December feels like Christmas should begin – that lovely anticipation in the air, everyone gathering, the excitement building for tomorrow. Join us for dinner that captures exactly that feeling.
We’ll greet you with sparkling Crémant, then serve a beautiful three-course meal in our Meridian Restaurant while gentle piano music sets the festive mood. It’s the ideal way to ease into Christmas Day feeling relaxed rather than frazzled from last-minute preparations.
At £49 per person (£30 for children), it’s Christmas Eve without any of the usual stress.

Christmas Day Lunch – The Full Experience
Christmas Day should feel magical, but often the stress can take away from your enjoyment. So why not let us serve the traditional Christmas lunch while you actually get to enjoy Christmas Day with your family?
On Thursday 25th December, we’re offering sittings at 1pm, 1:30pm and 2pm in our beautifully decorated dining room. All the trimmings, all the traditional elements, and none of the kitchen drama. Choose the time that works best for your Christmas morning rhythm, then simply turn up and enjoy.
Everyone gets to be part of the conversation instead of someone being stuck cooking while others open presents, and for those on the nice list, there’s even talk of a visit from Father Christmas himself.
Boxing Day Carvery – Because Christmas Continues
By Boxing Day, most people are ready for comfort food without any effort. Our carvery delivers exactly that – perfectly carved roast meats, seasonal sides, and indulgent desserts that require nothing from you except showing up with an appetite.
It’s the ideal way to round off your Christmas celebrations while someone else handles everything.
December Dining Before the Big Days
Not everything has to wait until Christmas Eve. Throughout December (Monday to Saturday, 1st-24th), our festive menu offers something special for lunch or dinner. Two courses for £28 or three for £36 – perfect for those pre-Christmas celebrations, catching up with friends, or simply because December deserves better than ordinary meals.
Our head chef has created dishes that capture the season without going overboard on the tinsel. It’s Christmas dining when you want it, not just when the calendar demands it.
For those who prefer their festivities with afternoon tea, we’re serving Christmas afternoon tea daily throughout December. And Sundays mean our special December carvery lunches – because some traditions are worth keeping all month long.
Why Choose Us This Christmas
Christmas is too precious to spend washing up. Our talented chefs create the feast while you create the memories. Beautiful seasonal menus, warm Blackheath hospitality, and the simple luxury of having everything taken care of.
No shopping lists, no oven timers, no wondering if the turkey’s done – just Christmas as it should be.
