Celebrate Christmas with a festive feast at The Clifton Sausage

Start with a show-stopping lineup of appetisers, where traditional British ingredients meet creative flair. The Bath Blue cheese soufflé is a rich, creamy indulgence, paired with confit leeks and a silky cheese sauce — a dish sure to delight cheese lovers and set the stage for what’s to come. The Cornish crab cake with a punch of chilli and coriander is another highlight, its delicate, flaky texture balanced with a lime mayonnaise for a burst of fresh flavour. For those looking for warmth and comfort, the roast plum tomato and basil soup provides a comforting, flavourful start. And for a taste of exotic, the cauliflower tikka masala with a poppadum and mango chutney brings a delightful touch of spice and sweetness to the table.

As for the main course, the lineup is an homage to British tradition and quality ingredients. For the true festive feel, try the Roast Somerset turkey with all the trimmings — a pig in blanket, sage stuffing, and cranberry-infused gravy, capturing the heart of a classic British Christmas. Another option, perfect for meat lovers, is the venison and cranberry sausages, served with garlic and parsley mash and cranberry gravy. The subtle gamey flavors of venison, mixed with tart cranberry, create a harmonious winter combination. Seafood fans will relish the pan-fried sea bass with lemon, dill, and white wine sauce — a fresh, light contrast to the hearty roasts. Or, if you’re in the mood for a comforting veggie option, the wild mushroom, celeriac, and lentil casserole served with herb dumplings is both rich and satisfying, a festive delight that doesn’t skimp on flavour.

No Christmas meal would be complete without a little indulgence, and The Clifton Sausage delivers with its desserts. For a true classic, there’s the sticky toffee pudding served with butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream, ideal for those who want a warming, sweet finish. The homemade Christmas pudding with brandy sauce provides a nostalgic, boozy twist. For something different, the Snowball cheesecake with lemon sherbert offers a tangy, creamy surprise, evoking the holiday spirit with its playful flavours.
