The barn in its Christmas set-up: the wooden central aisle flanked by two life-size nutcracker figures on round plinths, real Christmas trees behind them, a row of pillar candles running the full length of the aisle and a canopy of string lights beneath the roof.

The children have not been forgotten

We make Christmas extra festive for our youngest guests too. The children have their own Christmas menu, with a choice of festive little dishes.

Because portion size and choice can differ by age, we do not work with a fixed menu price for children. That way we can match what each child likes to eat and how much they need.
