Cooked Enough This Christmas? Take Boxing Day Off!
You've cooked the turkey. You've peeled what feels like a thousand potatoes. You've fed the family, cleared the table and somehow found space in the fridge for all those leftovers.
Surely you've earned Boxing Day off?
This year, forget another day in the kitchen and join us at The Boars Head for a relaxed Boxing Day meal instead.
Our special Boxing Day menu is served from 12–9pm, giving you plenty of time to gather the family, head out and let somebody else take care of the cooking.
And Don't Worry… It's Not Turkey Again!
After Christmas Day, you might be ready for something a little different – and that's exactly what our Boxing Day menu is all about.
There's plenty to choose from, with starters including Feta, Chorizo & Rocket Bruschetta, Smoked Salmon & Prawn Salad, Pheasant Breast and Minted Pea Soup.
Then it's onto the mains, where you'll find everything from Topside of Beef and Roast Loin of Pork to Steak & Venison Pie, Chicken Forestière, Beef Lasagne, Fresh Fillet of Salmon and more.
Vegetarian and vegan choices are available too, so there's something for everyone around the table.
Of Course There's Pudding…
It is still Christmas, after all.
Finish things off with Salted Caramel Cheesecake, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Pear & Apple Crumble, Black Forest Roulade or a traditional Christmas Pudding.
Or, if you've somehow not eaten enough cheese over Christmas, there's a cheeseboard available too.
Boxing Day Is for Taking It Easy
For us, Boxing Day should be one of the most relaxed days of Christmas.
There's no pressure of Christmas morning, the presents have been opened and everyone's ready to slow things down a little.
So gather the family, bring the grandparents, meet up with friends and spend a few hours around the table enjoying good food and good company.
We'll worry about the washing up.
