Festive Christmas menu at Coal Kitchen, the restaurant in the restored Pillar & Lucy warehouse at Gloucester Quays, with a focus on Gloucestershire produce.
Christmas at Coal Kitchen kicks off on 9 November 2026 at Coal Kitchen, and it runs right through to 3 January 2027, so you've got a good stretch of the season to fit it in. It's a festive dining season rather than a single night, which makes it a decent shout if you're looking for a spot for a proper Christmas meal or a gathering with friends and family over the holidays.
The restaurant is set in the Pillar & Lucy, a Grade II listed warehouse at Gloucester Quays, so it's got that waterside setting by the docks. The menu draws on the owners' travels and works with local suppliers, with a focus on Gloucestershire produce, so the food is rooted in what's grown and made around here. They pitch themselves as a destination for festive feasting, memorable gatherings and family traditions, and they've got fresh, healthy kids' dishes on the side, alongside signature cocktails, spritzes, mocktails and wines.
