The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than by gathering your loved ones for a festive feast? Nestled in the heart of Ross-on-Wye, The Hope & Anchor is the perfect place to embrace the Christmas spirit.
Christmas parties and private dining at The Hope & Anchor
Make this festive season the best one yet by hosting your Christmas party at our beautiful riverside cocktail bar and event space, The Pavilion! During December, The Pavilion will transform into a magical wonderland with enchanting decorations and a giant tree beautifully adorned with twinkling lights. This makes it the perfect location to host your Christmas party and create lasting memories.
We understand that every Christmas celebration is unique, which is why we offer a range of options to suit all budgets. Whether you envision an intimate private Christmas dinner or a grand extravaganza with canapés, cocktails and a delectable buffet, we have you covered. The Pavilion at The Hope & Anchor is the ultimate setting for your Christmas party.
To make the most of your Christmas celebration, consider booking accommodation as well. We have 12 riverside rooms, including breakfast, so your party guests can dance the night away or prop up the bar until midnight without worrying about getting home.
Feast on festive delights
At The Pavilion, we want to ensure that your Christmas party is a true reflection of your style and preferences. That’s why we offer three catering options, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your event type and budget, or you can combine the options – canapes and cocktails followed by a three-course meal, anyone?
1. Canapes and cocktails
If you’re looking to add a touch of sophistication and mingling to your party, our canapes and cocktails option is a fantastic choice. Your guests can savour an array of delicious bite-sized treats while sipping on expertly crafted cocktails from our fully stocked cocktail bar. This option is perfect for those who love to socialise and nibble on delectable finger foods.
2. Christmas buffet
For a more casual and communal dining experience, our Christmas buffet is an excellent choice. Feast on a diverse selection of dishes carefully prepared by our skilled chefs, and enjoy the flexibility of choosing what you like. The buffet is a great way to ensure there’s something for everyone, from traditional Christmas foods to modern culinary delights.
3. Two or three-course sit-down meal
If you prefer a more formal and structured dining experience, our two or three-course sit-down meal is the perfect option. Allow your guests to indulge in a sumptuous meal with a starter, main course and dessert. Our chefs can create a bespoke festive menu to suit your tastes, making it a memorable dining experience for all.
