Mulled wine, mistletoe and memorable food

Now that autumn has officially arrived, be the smug one this year and get your festive party date in the diary to celebrate with friends.

The ‘C’ word is already being thrown around and supermarkets have their festive aisle in place, filled with selection boxes and mammoth jars of peanuts,… and we’re still only in October!

Whilst it’s a bit too early to bulk-buy mince pies, it’s never too early to take charge of the social calendar and book ahead for your festive celebrations, whether with work colleagues, friends or family; and where better to book than here at The Duke of Cambridge.

Mistletoe and winter Pimms will be flowing a ‘plenty from late November. Key ingredients for the perfect festive night at The Duke include our merry staff, festive décor and a unique array of local and international brands including a festive ale, warm ciders, artisan gins and cocktails.

Festive menus

Our Head Chef Jay, has enjoyed creating a delicious and creative menu of fresh, local and seasonal delights with no hint of a nut roast in sight!

Our festive menus start at just £22.95 for a two-course festive meal.

If you’re a lover of organisation and like to plan early, leave the novelty socks be this year and think outside the box when it comes to stocking fillers and gifts.

Wouldn’t a ’round of drinks’, a ‘meal’ or ‘stay’ at their favourite pub be a great idea… and easily achieved with our gift vouchers (available to purchase at all our sister pubs or by calling our Head Office on 01252 913513).

Our gift vouchers can be used in any of our pubs on all food, drink and accommodation (at The Red Lion, Odiham and The Stag on the River, Eashing).
