There's a particular kind of magic to Christmas at The Cartford - log fires, candlelight on the river, and a kitchen turning out the kind of food that makes a season feel like a season. Whether you're joining us for a festive lunch, gathering the whole office for a party, or booking in for the night, we've made sure every detail carries the same warmth we're known for.
SEASONAL MENUS & SPECIALS
Festive Dining
Alongside our usual à la carte menu, we’ll be serving a dedicated festive set menu, seasonal specials throughout December, and a considered selection of festive drinks. Whether you’re joining us for a long lunch, dinner with friends or a Christmas gathering, we look forward to welcoming you to the table this December.
GROUP CELEBRATIONS
Christmas Parties
Gather your group in our River House this Christmas, a private space of our own set apart from the main restaurant, and perfect for up to 30 guests. Festive menus, attentive service and a room dressed for the season, ready for your celebration.

A SEASONAL FAVOURITE
Wreath Making
Our wreath making sessions are back, and they're always one of the highlights of the season. Held in the River House, you'll work with fresh foliage, pine cones and ribbon to build a wreath to take home, with everything provided and a glass of something warming along the way. A relaxed, hands-on afternoon that's become a bit of a Cartford tradition.
THIS NEW YEAR'S EVE
New Year's Eve
See out the old year in good company, with a set menu built for celebrating, a warm room and a glass raised at midnight. A relaxed evening with all the occasion it deserves, before the year turns.
