If the thought of juggling roasting trays, splattering gravy, and timing the sprouts gives you mild festive palpitations… take a deep breath, pour a mulled wine, and let us do the heavy lifting this Christmas.

Our Velveteen Rabbit Heat at Home Christmas Lunch is back for 2025 - the same delicious, heart-warming feast you’d expect from our café in Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, lovingly prepared for you to heat, serve, and take all the glory (your secret’s safe with us).

The Main Event

  • 6-Hour Braised Beef Brisket - rich, tender and ridiculously moreish.

  • Roast Turkey - the classic centrepiece, golden and juicy.

  • Beetroot Wellington (Vegan) - bold, beautiful and brimming with cheer.

The Supporting Cast

Because the sides make the meal: Duck-fat roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, honey-roasted root veg, braised red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, sprout & bacon gratin, Yorkshire puddings and generous helpings of silky gravy.

The Grand Finale

Homemade Figgy Pudding with brandy custard - the warm, boozy hug your Christmas Day deserves.
