Christmas at The Bear
Food worth gathering for
Join us in Tattenhall for festive lunches, December dinners, Christmas gatherings and a properly special Christmas Day.
The fires are lit and the kitchen is in full festive swing. Through December our menu takes a seasonal turn, built as always on good Cheshire produce and cooked from scratch here at the pub.
A proper Christmas, in a place that feels like home
Our fixed-price December menus require a deposit and pre-order to guarantee your booking.
Our December Menus
Seasonal food, served with the warmth of The Bear
Choose from our December à la carte menu or make an occasion of it with our fixed-price festive menu.
Begin with a glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne or Silver Reign English Sparkling and something to share. Cheese beignets with Weetwood mustard sauce, perhaps, or cranberry-glazed pigs in blankets.
Then settle in for the best of the season. There is scallop in the shell with guanciale and burnt lemon, duck liver parfait with port and fig, roast goose with Savoy cabbage and potato fondant, and turkey ballotine with all the trimmings done our way.
Crown Prince squash with woodland mushrooms and Madeira makes sure nobody misses out. Whatever you choose, leave room for the sticky Christmas pudding with mince-pie ice cream and brandy custard.

Make a Night of It
With eight rooms upstairs, there is no need to draw straws for the drive home.
Come down for a drink, stay for dinner and let the evening run its course. When the last glasses are empty, your room is only a few steps away.
Wake slowly, join us for breakfast and enjoy a little more of Cheshire before heading home.
