Christmas Day Dinner Menu at The Old Gate Inn in Canterbury
To Christmas Day last year was filled with the merriest of celebrations, 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 with our Christmas Day Set Menu from £87.95, the perfect way to spend the big day and make Christmas a true celebration at The Old Gate Inn.
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.
