Eating out in Beverley is a pleasure at any time of the year. But throw in the enticing Christmas menus that pubs and restaurants are offering in the run up to the festive season and it’s enough to convince us not to cook for the rest of the year!
From hearty roasts in cosy pubs to international flavours with a festive twist, each menu brings something special to the table. Whether you’re celebrating with family or gathering with friends, discover five must-try festive menus that will make this Christmas in Beverley extra tasty.
Mowgli
Back to Top of ListMowgli brings the vibrancy of Indian street food to Beverley, adding an exciting option to the Christmas food scene. Known for its authentic flavours and beautifully presented dishes, Mowgli is a great choice for anyone looking to mix up their Christmas dining with a little spice.
This Christmas, Mowgli invites guests to gather beneath the vines and twinkling lights for a feast that sparkles with warmth, generosity, and connection. The Festive Feasting Menu (£40 per person) brings the full Mowgli experience to the table. After starting with a glass of bubbles or a mocktail, guests will be invited to share crisp chat bombs bursting with spiced yoghurt and tamarind, alongside an array of flavour-packed curries served in tiffin towers, and irresistible street plates such as the Gunpowder Chicken and Himalayan Cheese Toast. Served with delicious desserts, and a Christmas cracker for each guest.
Those looking to celebrate in even greater style can dine from Mowgli’s much-loved Grand Table Christmas Feast (£55 per person). A theatrical, banquet-style experience inspired by India’s grand family celebrations. Beginning with a glass of champagne, guests are invited to dine from tiered tiffin towers overflowing with colour, flavour, and story – a joyful feast served alongside a choice of wine or beer.
The Rose and Crown
Back to Top of ListIf you’re looking for a festive meal in a cosy, character-filled setting, the Rose and Crown is hard to beat. Just outside Beverley’s historic North Bar, this 400-year-old pub has all the charm you’d expect from a Grade II listed building with its wooden beams, open fires, and warm welcome. It’s no wonder they were named Pub of the Year at the 2024 Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards.
Their Christmas menu is packed with seasonal favourites, including traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings, twice cooked honey glazed belly pork, and wild mushroom, pea and chestnut risotto. Starters like garlic king prawn, avocado and chilli bruschetta and braised beef brisket croquettes set the tone, and desserts such as black cherry and almond tart and dark chocolate after 8 cheesecake round things off nicely. Whether you’re popping in for a casual meal or booking a festive get-together, the Rose and Crown offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes Christmas dining feel special without being over the top.
Rose and Crown's festive menu is available from 22 November to 24 December. Two courses are £27.95 and three courses are £32.95.
