Seasonal occasions

Christmas 2010 and New Year Pre Christmas parties and festivities

Awaiting guests for Christmas Day lunchDecember is a time for getting together with family, friends and colleagues and where better than with James Duckett at the Old Custom House?  And it's never too early to start making plans.  So, if you're thinking of Christmas and New Year's Eve 2010 you may view our 2009 seasonal menus here.  We'll be doing something very similar this year so, if you wish to get ahead and make some early reservations you may do so with confidence.

Throughout December 2010 our party lunch,  à la carte dinner and party dinner menus will all have a distinctive seasonal touch to them to make sure your visit will be special.  So, whether for lunch or dinner; for a short get together; for a special night out; or for an organised ‘end of term’ lunch or dinner party with friends and colleagues from your workplace; we will make it an occasion to remember?

For parties of up to 22 we offer exclusive use of our upstairs dining room, or for even larger parties use of the entire downstairs restaurant.  Contact us now with your requirements for Christamas season 2010 and we’ll do our best to tailor a package that is just right for you.

Christmas Day lunch

The warm surroundings of the Restaurant make it an ideal venue for a celebratory family lunch.  Choose the relaxed bistro style downstairs restaurant or the more sophisticated surroundings of the upstairs panelled dining room.  While our 2010 Christmas Day menu is not yet available you may see our 2009 menu which proved a great success.  From festive canapés on arrival through his traditional five course dinner and ending with Christmas cake and mince pies, all his food is homemade on the premises from the finest local fare.  His 2010 Christmas Day lunch menu will be very similar to last year's offer - so, don't hold back; spoil yourself this year, make Christmas extra special and let us treat you to an occasion to remember.  Contact us at any time to reserve your table and to inform us of any special requirements.

New Year’s Eve dinner

Once again the warm atmosphere of the Restaurant makes it a special place in which to celebrate the arrival of 2011 and your hopes and aspirations for the New Year.  Fine wine, another splendid five course dinner from James (similar to last year's menu) and the best seats in the Town for the annual midnight Barnstaple firework display all make this the Place to be for New Year’s Eve 2010.  Contact us at any time to reserve your table.
