🎄 ANNOUNCEMENT: Christmas Day at The Fox, Aspenden! 🎄
We know what you’re thinking... Christmas? In May?!
But here’s the honest truth: since launching our carvery, our big event days have been total sellouts! Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day were absolutely packed, and we are already nearly sold out for Father’s Day.
Because of that incredible following, and because we've already had regulars begging to book their spots for December 25th, we knew we had to give you all the opportunity to book right now. It’s only fair to put the word out early so our amazing locals don’t miss out!
This year, we are doing something incredibly special. We are hosting ONE EXCLUSIVE SITTING ONLY starting from 12:30 PM
Imagine walking into our beautiful country pub with the log fire crackling, the Christmas tree twinkling, the fairy lights glowing, and beautiful festive music playing softly in the background to set the perfect mood. No chaotic rushes, no second sittings pushing you out—just a relaxed, magical afternoon where you can truly unwind.
To make it even more special, we are ditching the table numbers this year! When you book, you will be allocated your very own festive-named table—so you might find yourself sitting at The Robin
The Holly , or The Ivy for your Christmas feast! 🌟
Here is what we have lined up for the ultimate stress-free Christmas:
🥂 Upon Arrival
Step in from the cold and warm up by the fire. We’ll welcome you with your choice of a chilled glass of Crisp Prosecco or a classic, festive Buck’s Fizz
🥄 To Begin (Plated & Served to Your Table)
Classic Luxury Prawn Cocktail: Plump, juicy prawns served on a bed of crisp, shredded lettuce, draped in our beautifully seasoned, velvety Marie Rose sauce.
Our Signature Smooth Pâté:A rich, decadent pâté served with warm, toasted artisanal bread and a tangy festive chutney.
Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup: A silky, comforting soup finished with a swirl of rich cream and crunchy, golden garlic croutons, served with fresh crusty bread.
🍽️ The Main Event: The Ultimate Fox Luxury Carvery
Step up to our famous carvery and let us pile your plate high with as much as your heart desires! We are sourcing only the finest, premium ingredients:
The Meats:Succulent, slow-roasted Norfolk Bronze Turkey melt-in-the-mouth Roast Beef, and a beautiful, honey-glazed Christmas Ham.
The Trimmings:Giant, fluffy Yorkshire Puddings and full-sized Sausages in Blankets (because small ones just won’t do!).
The Veg & Potatoes:Crispy, golden Goose-Fat Roast Potatoes, honey-glazed carrots, sweet roasted parsnips, and garden peas.
The Sprouts:Two ways! Traditional steamed sprouts, plus our decadent Brussels Sprouts pan-fried with smoky bacon lardons and toasted walnuts.
The Cabbage: Slow-braised sweet Red Cabbage with juicy sultanas.
All finished off with our rich, deeply flavorful, proper Homemade Gravy
🍰 The Grand Finale
Traditional Christmas Pudding: Rich, fruity, and served with a luscious, warm brandy sauce.
Indulgent Chocolate Cake: A chocolate-lover's dream—thick, fudgy, and utterly luxurious.
Festive Christmas Cheesecake:A beautifully creamy, seasonal cheesecake that melts in the mouth.
☕ To Finish
Unwind and let the feast settle with a freshly brewed Premium Coffee or Tea, served alongside a traditional After-Dinner Mint,
📅 Table Availability & Booking Details
