A merry 2024 at The Chequers: Christmas Day Set Menu for £79.95
We spent the merriest of Christmas Day celebrations with you last year at The Chequers, and that’s the kind of gift we’d love to unwrap all over again…
That’s why we want you to spoil yourself on Christmas Day 2024 in Stevenage with our Christmas Day Set Menu from £79.95, the perfect way to spend the big day and make Christmas a true celebration, especially with our Children’s Christmas Day Menu from £39.50 for the little ones to celebrate alongside you.
You could start with our Smoked Salmon & King Prawn Duo, filling flaky salmon with a delicate herb mousse, partnered with a light king prawn cocktail. Then decide – is our tender Black Angus Beef Wellington or our crispy Pan-Roasted Halibut calling your name on Christmas Day? Either way, it’ll lead into explosively luxurious flavours of our Chocolate Orange & Grand Marnier Bomb.
Take a sneak peek at our menu for an idea of the magical moments coming your way this season and book your table – let’s just call it an early present.
*Please note that a £10pp deposit is required for all bookings for Christmas Day.
