At Cubitt House, the colder months are about generous helpings, slow-roasted centrepieces and flavours that speak of comfort and care. When the fires are lit and the wine’s gently mulling, it’s time to gather round the table and dig into a feast worth savouring, the kind you’ll remember well into the new year.
Our seasonal menus are built on brilliant British ingredients, supplied by people who know their produce like we know our pubs: inside out. These are dishes made to warm the belly and lift the spirits, with every plate telling a story of real food done properly.
Whether it’s a Prime Angus Beef Wellington with Sauce Bordelaise or a gloriously glazed Bronze Turkey ready for its moment, this is a Cubitt Christmas. Rich in tradition, big on flavour and ready to welcome one and all.
Honest Cuts: Walter Rose and Nevill Holt
When it comes to meat, we don’t muck about. Our long-time partner Walter Rose & Son has been butchering the best for over 175 years. Based in Wiltshire, their expertise lies in top-quality cuts and working with farmers who put care into every step, not just from field to fork, but from feed to flavour.
Their beef, from the nearby Stokes Marsh farm, is grass-fed, full of character and takes pride of place on our Christmas menu. You’ll also find their Roast Bronze Turkeys, raised with time and care, making the rounds this season.
Meanwhile, over at the Nevill Holt Estate, another of our trusted partners, traditional breeds and time-honoured growing techniques keep our winter menus well stocked. From plump produce to carefully reared livestock, they bring a touch of Leicestershire countryside to our London tables, just not the turkey, that one’s already spoken for.
A Catch Worth Celebrating: Murray’s Seafood
Before most of London has stirred, Murray’s is already at the market, quietly shaping what will later arrive at your table. From early morning selections at Brixham Market to the expert hands preparing your fish, they’re the unseen link between the sea and Cubitt House’s kitchens.
Murray’s Seafood shares our belief that great ingredients begin long before the plate, proving the saying that great minds truly do think alike. They choose their salmon, bass, bream, trout and shellfish from trusted farms, only importing speciality species when it adds real value.
That care is what you’ll taste with our festive menu. From the Hot Smoked Trout & Horseradish Rillettes to the Hand-Dived Scallops Thermidor, these are honest, elegant plates that let the fish and the people who bring it to us shine.
Root to Roast: 2-Serve Vegetables and Shrub Brighton
Good veg makes all the difference, and we only serve the kind that’s worth talking about. That’s why we work with two greengrocers who know their way around a market stall better than most: 2-Serve and Shrub Brighton.
David Watkins and his team at 2-Serve are fixtures at New Covent Garden Market, where they’re up before dawn, hunting down the crispest carrots and plumpest parsnips with a seasoned eye and a sharp sense of humour. Their deliveries arrive like clockwork, packed with peak-season picks that keep our chefs well fed and well inspired.
Then there’s Shrub, a Brighton-based outfit that’s anything but buttoned up. They’re rethinking what it means to grow and gather, working with over forty-five small farms to bring in forgotten varieties, root veg with a bit of history, and leafy greens that haven’t been on a supermarket shelf in years. These are the kind of vegetables that turn heads and start conversations, even before they hit the plate.
From the Braised Red Cabbage to the Spiced Heritage Carrots served alongside our Roast Bronze Turkey, this is produce with personality. No frills, no fuss – just veg that tastes like it should.
Help Make a Change with Cubitt House
There’s no secret sauce to what we do. Just proper ingredients, made by people who care, served in handsome pubs full of cheer. We believe that seasonal dining should be generous, flavour-packed and shared in good company, whether you’re raising a glass, passing the gravy or nicking the last roastie.
So, if you’re looking for a Christmas lunch in London that does things the proper way, Cubitt House is ready to welcome you. Pull up a chair, pass the wine and get stuck in.
