Xmas Menu

Christmas and New Year Menu
The Priest Hole is a great place for your Christmas Party.

Our menu is shown below, but this may only be a starting point. We can tailor-make a menu for your party on a simpler or more luxurious style. You may only require two courses, or maybe a six course banquet.

Smaller parties from 4 to 20 can also just book and choose on the night from our extensive menu and mouth-watering specials board which will include Turkey and Christmas Pudding throughout December.

Why not book our upstairs restaurant for your party of 20 to 30 or if you're planning something bigger the whole restaurant is yours for the night for parties of 45 to 60.

Whatever you choose, you can be guaranteed a really excellent meal in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Call Gary or Shirley on 015394 33332 to discuss your festive requirements.

Happy New Year

New year's eve is a very special time in the Lakes, with locals and holidaymakers from all over the world celebrating in our excellent pubs, hotels and restaurants, spilling onto the pavements at midnight to see in the New Year.

At The Priest Hole, we don't believe in putting on an expensive or inferior menu to take advantage of our customer's festive goodwill. We run our normal extensive menu with our usual excellent Specials board. Diners can book a table for a two hour period, so if you prefer to see in the New Year in a Pub, Club or with your Family at home, you can book an early table. For those who wish to share a glass of Bubbly at midnight with all the customers and staff at The Priest Hole, a table can be booked from 8.30 to 10pm.

Remember, New Year's Eve is very much in demand, so book early to avoid disappointment.
