There’s something truly special about Christmas Day at Deben Inns. The fires are glowing, the tables are dressed, the glasses are sparkling — and the kitchens are filled with the aromas of traditional festive favourites being prepared with care by our talented chefs.
This year, we’re delighted to be offering Christmas Day dining at The King’s Head in Woodbridge, The Coach & Horses in Melton, and The Butt & Oyster in Pin Mill. Each of these beautiful pubs will be serving a specially crafted Christmas Day menu, featuring all the festive classics — from roast turkey with all the trimmings to rich seasonal desserts — alongside a selection of fine wines, local ales, and a few surprises from our chefs.
Whether you’re gathering with family for a long, leisurely lunch or enjoying a cosy Christmas meal by the fire, you can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and that unmistakable Deben Inns warmth.
We’ve designed our Christmas Day experience to be truly memorable — so all you need to do is arrive, relax, and enjoy every moment. Let us take care of the cooking, the serving, and the washing up, while you focus on what matters most: spending time with the people you love.
Please note: there are only a few tables remaining, and our Christmas Day dining always books up quickly. To secure your spot, please contact your chosen pub directly by phone or email. Our teams will be happy to share menu details, pricing, and booking information.
