Christmas at Crave Bristol

Christmas is all about bringing people together over great food and drink. Whether you’re planning the office Christmas party, gathering friends and family, or simply looking for an excuse for a long table and a good bottle, we’ll take care of the rest.

Making the most of the Westcountry’s abundant larder, our chefs have created a choice of festive menus celebrating the best of the season. Expect fresh, locally sourced ingredients, dishes packed with flavour, Crave twists on festive favourites and plenty to share around the table.

And no Christmas celebration is complete without something good in the glass. Our Basement Cocktail Bar serves a tempting selection of Christmas cocktails and mocktails, thoughtfully crafted to complement the food and keep the celebrations flowing.
