Feast on our 2026 Christmas menus!

The tinsel is up, the Christmas jumpers are out, and our Christmas menu has arrived with a serious case of festive fever. We’re talking crispy, cheesy, gravy-drenched, pig-in-blanket-packed goodness, with a few very merry surprises thrown in for good measure.

From the mighty Santa Stacker to our fully loaded Christmas Share, there’s plenty to get stuck into. And yes, there’s turkey too. But this isn’t Christmas food playing it safe. This is feasting turned right up.

So bring your mates, bring the family, bring the office crew or just bring yourself and a heroic appetite. December is officially delicious.

Plates of food, drinks and Christmas-themed table decorations are spread across the table.

One diner holds a plate topped with a stacked burger, onion rings and chips, while other diners sit around the table with food and drinks. White wine, beer, fruit juice and Christmas-themed table decorations are arranged on the table, creating a warm seasonal dining setting.

Mains with serious spirit

The main event has entered the building.

Christmas flavour doesn’t always mean reaching for the turkey. Sometimes it means going completely off-plan and ordering the Santa Stacker.

This festive beast is loaded with crispy fried chicken, melted cheese, stuffing and cranberry sauce, then topped with a pig-in-blanket, Breaded Brie Bite and sprout skewer. And because apparently that still wasn’t enough, it comes in a toasted seeded bun with mayo, red onion, lettuce, onion rings, chips and a pot of gravy.

Prefer your festive feast a little more traditional? Little ones can tuck into our Traditional Christmas Dinner, with hand-carved turkey and all the trimmings! 

And for a handheld hero, there’s the Turkey Sub when you walk in. Hot sliced turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce in a toasted sub roll, topped with a pig-in-blanket, Breaded Brie Bite and sprout skewer, with onion rings, chips and gravy on the side.

Turkey? Tick. Chicken? Tick. Pigs in blankets? Absolutely everywhere.

Think you’re finished? Not so fast.

The festive menu has saved some room for the sweet stuff, and our White Chocolate & Raspberry Cheesecake is here to make sure nobody leaves without a little pudding-shaped happiness. 

Vanilla cheesecake gets a Rudolph glow-up with raspberry coulis, white chocolate flavour sauce, crushed meringue, berries and vanilla flavour ice cream. 

And for the little ones, there’s the trusted Candymania: vanilla and chocolate ice cream topped with fluffy cream, rainbow candy-coated chocolate and a chocolate Flake. Two scoops covered in sweets? Now THAT’S Christmas.

Two people stand beside the tree holding bottled beers, one wearing a red-and-white Santa hat and the other a red sports shirt. A television in the background displays a football match while several other patrons watch with raised arms. Wooden tables and chairs are visible throughout the venue, with a plate of onion rings on a nearby table.
