Christmas Day Lunch

Halifax Hall Hotel is hosting a Christmas Day Lunch on Friday 25 December, from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. It's a proper sit-down affair, so if you're looking to get your Christmas meal out of the house this year, this is one of the options on the table.

The meal itself is a six-course lunch, which is a fair few plates to work through over the three hours. Before you even get to the main event, there are canapés and a welcome drink to start with, so it's more of a full afternoon's thing than a quick bite. Six courses mean you'll be sitting for a good while, which is exactly the point of a Christmas Day lunch — you're not meant to be rushing off to do the washing up or sorting out the kids' toys halfway through.

It's held at the Halifax Hall Hotel on Endcliffe Vale Road, S10 3ER, over in the west end of the city. If you're coming from the centre, it's a bit of a trek out towards the edge of the city, but it's a proper hotel setting rather than a pub or a restaurant, so it's the kind of place where you can actually settle in for the afternoon. The timing is 12:00pm to 3:00pm, so it's a midday start that wraps up by mid-afternoon, leaving you the rest of the day for the usual Christmas chaos.

It costs £105 per person. That covers the six courses, the canapés, and the welcome drink, so you know exactly what you're paying for before you walk through the door. If you're thinking of it, it's worth getting it sorted early — Christmas Day bookings in Sheffield tend to fill up well before the actual day.
