The office party people actually want to go to.
A set Indian Christmas menu, a 400-year-old converted cowshed dressed for December, and nobody from your team has to cook, clear up or apologise for the venue.
“It’s like having your very own Indian Auntie fill your freezer with exquisite foods.”
Nigella LawsonThree ways to do Christmas with us
Same menu, same price, same excellent excuse to leave the office early. Pick the one that suits your lot.
Party evenings
Thursdays 26 November, 3 December and 10 December, from 6pm. Christmas menu, live entertainment, and a room full of people who've finally stopped checking their emails.
Christmas lunches
Rather see the Surrey Hills out of the window? Choose a date in the run-up to Christmas and we'll set your team up for a long lunch. TO CONFIRM: lunch days and times
The whole place
No other groups, no sharing the loos with strangers. Exclusive use for up to 42 guests, lunch or evening, with the menu and drinks set up around you.
For whoever got landed with organising it
You pick a date and send us numbers. We do the rest. Nobody will ask why it's in a chain pub again this year.
A proper Christmas menu
Set menu with chicken and a proper vegetarian main. Not a sad nut roast in sight.
Dietary needs sorted
Vegetarian, vegan and allergies handled by our own kitchen, not an afterthought.
Drinks your way
Pay at the bar on the day, or we'll build a drinks package for your group.
Free parking on site
Plenty of it. Nobody circling a town centre car park in the rain.
Entertainment on party nights
Live entertainment on the three party evenings. TO CONFIRM: name the act
A room that feels like Christmas
Beams, fairy lights and a café fully dressed for December. Small enough to feel like your party.
Make a day of it
Add a hands-on session before you eat. The one team activity nobody groans about, because at the end of it there's lunch.
