Festive Dining at Hatherley Manor

Hatherley Manor Hotel & Spa is running its festive dining from Monday 16 November through to Thursday 31 December, with lunches and dinners served daily, Monday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 21:00. It's a good stretch of dates to work with, so you've got plenty of room to fit it in whenever suits you best.

The dining is held in the hotel's private dining suites, which they decorate for the season. They're set up for groups of all sizes, so it works as well for a small family gathering as it does for a larger party. The menu is a three-course affair of seasonal favourites, put together by the hotel's chefs.

For a bit of context on where you'll be: Hatherley Manor is a 4 AA-star country house hotel in a 17th-century manor house, with 37 acres of grounds around it. It's a short distance from Cheltenham Spa and historic Gloucester, so it's easy enough to get to from either end. The hotel has 50 bedrooms, a spa, an indoor pool, a sauna and a gym, and the classic Dewinton Restaurant on site. The festive dining is separate from that, served in the private suites rather than the main restaurant.

If you're planning to go, keep in mind it runs daily from 16 November to 31 December, with lunches and dinners from 12:00 to 21:00. You'll find it at Hatherley Manor Hotel & Spa, Down Hatherley Lane, Down Hatherley, Gloucester, GL2 9QA.
