Butcombe Pubs & Inns Unveil Festive Menus Across Its London Pub Collection For Christmas 2024 

Butcombe Pubs & Inns is thrilled to unveil its festive Christmas menus for its four renowned London pubs: The Brown Cow in Fulham, The Punch Bowl in Mayfair, The Cross Keys in Chelsea and The Fulham Arms in Fulham. Each venue will host pre-Christmas celebrations, and will also open on Christmas Day welcoming guests with festive cheer, delicious food, and flowing drinks.  

Each of the London pubs will offer a number of festive menus, including a three-course menu, indulgent festive afternoon tea, and an assortment of sharing boards perfect for group celebrations. While the festive menus and Christmas Day menus differ at each venue, guests can look forward to traditional favourites like turkey, or for a twist, goose at The Punch Bowl, with all the trimmings.  

Other highlights include the Brixham Market fish stew at The Brown Cow, the rib of Hereford x Angus beef at The Punch Bowl, the roasted crown prince pumpkin at The Cross Keys and the ox cheek wellington at The Fulham Arms. 

The festive afternoon tea will tempt guests with fruit scones, deep-filled Viennese mince pies, spiced sticky date sponge, turkey and pancetta Scotch eggs, and a selection of finger sandwiches.  

The sharing boards range from the Butcher’s Board (turkey and sage sausage rolls, honey-glazed pigs in blankets, mulled cranberry sauce, Stornoway black pudding Scotch eggs and mustard mayonnaise) to the Plant-Based Board (mushroom and five bean sausage rolls, chipotle chilli jam, beetroot hummus and falafel, dukkah, grilled sourdough, winter salad, tahini yoghurt and root vegetable crisps).  

The menus will be available from November 18th, and bookings are now open, with each venue set to deliver an experience as unique as its character.
