Catering & Suppliers

No matter what you do during your country house weekend, food and drink are bound to be a big part of it. You can choose to self-cater, dine out or we can provide you with details of trusted caterers who will make your stay with us extra special.

Self-catering

Christmas Hall’s well equipped kitchen makes self-catering easy. It offers all the modern conveniences you would expect (including 2 dishwashers) and we always provide tea and coffee upon your arrival.

To help you settle in quickly, we can arrange for fresh local produce to be bought prior to your arrival – just let us know what you need in advance.

Alternatively both Tesco and Waitrose will deliver food and drink direct to Christmas Hall – just order online.

Dining Out

If you are looking for a weekend of total relaxation, there are a number of good local pubs and restaurants.

When booking your Christmas Hall break, please ask us for recommendations and we’ll be happy to help.
