Why not change it up for Christmas 2024?
Christmas Day. A time for family, friends, laughter… and mountains of washing up?
Let’s face it. The festive season can be just as stressful as it is joyful.
Between juggling work and family, shopping for presents and decorating the tree, the thought of orchestrating a five-star Christmas feast can leave even the most seasoned cook feeling overwhelmed!
So this year, why not ditch the stress and try a truly unforgettable Christmas experience at the Hythe Imperial?
Here’s why indulging in a Christmas Day lunch at our stunning seaside hotel is the perfect way to create lasting memories – without the stress.
Experience dining magic this December 25th
While the Christmas countdown is on, there is still time to reserve your spot at our festive dining events at the Hythe Imperial Hotel.
So why not treat yourself and your loved ones to a Christmas where everyone gets to unwind and join in with the celebrations? With no pots and pans in sight, it’ll be true celebration, freeing you up to focus on laughter, being together and having fun.
The main event is of course, on December 25th, on Christmas Day.
The hotel will be beautifully decorated throughout, so when you and your guests arrive, you’ll instantly feel the Christmas magic!
Our skilled chefs will take care of everything, from the seasonal ingredients to the finishing touches. All you need to do is arrive, relax and enjoy!
No shopping lists or long supermarket queues, no timing the turkey to perfection – just a wonderful meal prepared for you. Let our team handle everything, allowing you to focus on enjoying each moment.
Choose your dining time
We have slots available throughout Christmas Day, so you can choose a time to suit you.
The available times run from 11.45am, right round to 2.45pm.
The table will be exclusively yours for the day, so there is no need to rush. Just relax and enjoy every moment.
But don’t wait too long to book – they are filling up fast!
A sumptuous four-course menu
Our Christmas Day lunch in Kent includes four courses, a sumptuous festive feast with all the trimmings.
It includes an Amuse Bouche of Alpine cheese gougère, before a choice of starters including Jerusalem artichoke and truffle soup, king scallop gratin or smoked ham hock.
Of course, for traditionalists the main course will be our fresh Norfolk turkey! But other delicious options include Beef Wellington, Dover Sole, or a vegan-friendly nut roast.
In fact, many dietary requirements can be catered for – including vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, egg free and gluten free. Simply make sure you request this when booking.
And last but by no means least, is the dessert. Our Christmas pudding with brandy cream will be the most popular no doubt, but other tempting desserts on the menu include a Limoncello semi-fredo, or an orange steamed pudding with ice cream and custard.
The price for our Christmas Day lunch is £135 for adults, and £70 for children aged 3 to 12.
As a special thank you for joining us, we have also prepared charming table keepsakes for you to take home.
Also available – our exclusive private dining experience
For those looking to make their Christmas Day lunch an even more special event, we are also offering an exclusive private dining experience this year.
This option is perfect for families or groups looking for an intimate experience.
In our private Windsor Lounge, you and your party can soak up all the festive elegance in a private setting. Our waiting staff will be there to make sure that every detail is perfect, making this special experience as unique and memorable as the day itself.
You will all be welcomed with a chilled glass of Moet, before indulging in a sumptuous three-course festive lunch, complemented by half a bottle each of red or white house wine.
A minimum of 30 and a maximum of 40 people can enjoy this exclusive package, and there are two slots available at 12pm or 3.15pm on Christmas Day.
The space is available to you for the whole day.
More festive feasting throughout December
Our Christmas Day lunch is just one of the dining experiences you can enjoy this December.
So even if your plans are to spend the big day at home, there are plenty more opportunities to join us.
These include Christmas lunches throughout December, festive afternoon teas, party nights, a special Boxing Day lunch, and of course, a party and a gala for New Years Eve – to see in 2025!
