Celebrate Christmas in Keswick: Festive Dining at The Yew Tree

There’s something truly magical about Christmas in the Lake District — crisp winter walks, roaring fires, and the scent of mulled wine in the air. This year, The Yew Tree Pub invites you to make the season even more special with our Festive Dining Menu, crafted to bring together comfort, flavour, and a touch of indulgence.

A Menu Made for the Season

Our four-course Christmas menu (£50 per person) showcases the best of seasonal British ingredients, served with The Yew Tree’s signature warmth and attention to detail.

Starters range from the rich and velvety Chicken Liver Parfait with Spiced Pear Chutney to the Smoked Mackerel Rillettes with horseradish crème fraîche — or a vegetarian favourite, Baked Field Mushroom with Goat’s Cheese and Red Onion Marmalade.

Between courses, enjoy a Parsnip & Truffle Soup or a refreshing Lemon Sherbet Sorbet before moving on to your festive main.

Choose from:

• Roasted Turkey Crown or Cranberry & Chestnut Roast (v/ve) — served with all the classic trimmings, from pigs in blankets to braised red cabbage.

• Sausage & Leek Porchetta, paired with buttery mash, crispy leeks, and cider-mustard sauce.

• Pan-Roast Salmon Supreme, finished with a decadent lobster bisque (just £2 extra).

  
  

And to finish, indulge in one of our homemade festive desserts — from the timeless Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce to our Baileys Tiramisu or Mulled Orange Posset with shortbread.

Dine, Celebrate, and Be Merry 🎅

Whether you’re planning a cosy Christmas meal for two or a festive gathering with friends and family, The Yew Tree’s intimate atmosphere, locally sourced ingredients, and warm hospitality promise a truly memorable experience.
