Celebrate the magic of Christmas with your loved ones courtesy of a delectable feast this year. Two local venues, One Warwick Park Hotel and Salomons Estate, found in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, invite you to indulge in the festive flavours of the season…
One Warwick Park Hotel
Nestled in the heart of town, One Warwick Park, a luxurious boutique hotel, will host a sumptuous Christmas feast on December 25 at its popular restaurant, The Brasserie. With two seating options at 12.00pm and 2.45pm, you can sit back and savour the celebration without feeling rushed.
Begin your feast with complimentary bubbles and a choice of appetisers, featuring options such as smoked duck, and a beetroot and soft cheese terrine.
The main event is a classic turkey with cranberry and sage stuffing, accompanied by sides like festive vegetables, roasted parsnips, Yorkshire pudding, and pigs in blankets. For vegetarians or those with a plant-based preference, alternatives include a flaky salmon en croute and an indulgent butternut squash and mushroom nut roast Wellington.
But make sure you save room for dessert as the menu includes an irresistible raspberry and white chocolate roulade, salted caramel and milk chocolate cheesecake and traditional Christmas pudding doused in brandy crème anglaise.
Reservations can be made through OpenTable for just £99.00 per adult, while children under 12 dine for £49.50.
If you’re looking for more ways to celebrate, then the good news is the festive fun doesn’t only begin on Christmas Day. The hotel will be kicking off the season in style at its annual Christmas party on December 1. Dress to impress as tickets include a complimentary cocktail on arrival, a delicious three-course festive feast and an evening of music and dancing! Guests can also look forward to breakfast with Santa, a favourite amongst families, and also a jazz night.
For those seeking a well-deserved escape, One Warwick Park Hotel is also offering a luxurious package just for Christmas. It includes a two-night stay with a delightful dinner at The Brasserie on Christmas Eve, hearty breakfasts on Christmas and Boxing Day mornings, and of course, their sumptuous Christmas Day lunch.
