The fires are lit, the chestnuts are roasting and our halls have been decked. This December The Mutton is adding a sprinkle of festive magic to Hampshire’s countryside. Whether it’s warming up with mulled cider, indulging in a festive feast, or basking in the charm of a quintessential country Christmas, we’ve got you covered.
With a roaring fire, twinkling fairy lights, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s the ideal spot for festive celebrations, whether dining with friends, family, or colleagues.
Wreath Making and Tablescaping
Join us at The Mutton this December for festive workshops led by local florist Kirstie of Blossom and Wild.
On 7th December at 10am, craft a bespoke seasonal wreath using fresh flowers, foliage, fruits, and spices in a cosy setting with pastries and coffee by the fire. Kirstie will inspire attendees to personalise their creations with their favourite foliage, aromatic fruits, spices, and herbs, ensuring each wreath reflects their unique style.
On 19th December at 10am, design a stunning centrepiece and learn creative tablescaping tips to elevate your holiday table. Kirstie will also share tips for creatively laying the table, ensuring everyone leaves with the inspiration needed to impress their guests this festive season.
Both immersive experiences include materials, expert guidance, and refreshments for £80 per person, with guests taking home their beautiful creations and new skills.
Christmas Parties
Gather your crew for a three-course Christmas party menu (£42.50 per person), perfect for groups of 8 or more. Begin with starters like the signature homemade crumpet with slow-cooked mutton or the grilled mackerel with onion tart and fine and pickled kohlrabi.
Mains include festive classics like roasted turkey with duck fat potatoes and cranberry sauce or grilled mutton shoulder with Hasselback potatoes and mutton croquettes. End on a high with indulgent desserts like Chef Rob’s rich dark chocolate and porcini tart or the comforting Christmas pudding with brandy custard.
Festive A La Carte
Enjoy The Mutton’s A La Carte menu throughout December, where festive favourites meet creative seasonal twists. Try the peppered venison carpaccio with smoked beetroot and sprout leaves, or cosy up with roasted cauliflower gnocchi. For a heartier option, the braised venison cottage pie or whole grilled plaice with spiced lentils is sure to satisfy.
NYE
With the art of celebration in mind, our team have created a wonderfully seasonal and memorable NYE menu, followed by live music and much merriment to help see us into 2025 in style!
Come and join us during the day or enjoy Chef Rob’s delicious NYE menu in the evening, following which we will be joined by local band, To The River, who will play a mixture of party songs and sing-a-longs.
It will be a day and evening full of great food, drinks & very warm welcomes!
Tickets are available for drinks only after 10pm for £10pp
