Christmas at Freespirit Pubs

The frost is creeping in, the fairy lights are almost up, and there’s the familiar hum of laughter echoing through our pubs once more. Christmas is coming across the Freespirit family. Whether it’s a night of proper merrymaking with your mates, a long, lazy roast with the in-laws, or a quiet mulled wine after a dog walk, we’d love you to spend it with us.

A Season Full of Magic

At Freespirit, we reckon Christmas is about more than just the 25th. It’s the little moments that matter most:

That first sip of mulled wine after a blustery walk around the fields. The “one quick drink” that turns into a catch-up you didn’t know you needed. The kids curled up with hot chocolate as carols play quietly in the background.

From 1st December through to New Year’s Eve, each of our pubs will be dressed for the season! We’re talking twinkly lights, rustic wreaths, and roaring fires. Not all sites will be open every day of the holidays, so do check your local’s page for details.

Festive Menus & Proper Plates

 

Our chefs have been elbow-deep in mince pies and recipe tweaks for months, creating menus that celebrate all the flavours of the season.

Think perfectly roasted turkey with golden roasties, Yorkshire puddings that rise just right, and puds that taste like your nan made them. Not forgetting our vegan and veggie friends…you’ll be just as spoiled.

Behind the bar, you’ll find Christmas ales from local breweries, spiced cider, mulled wine, and wintery cocktails to toast the season.

Whether you’re nipping in after shopping in Leamington, enjoying a lazy lunch in Hook Norton, or gathering the gang for a big knees-up in Hellidon, we’ll have a table waiting.

Gather, Celebrate & Make Memories

From live music and carol nights to festive quizzes and Christmas Eve tipples, there’s always something going on across our pubs.

  • At The Castle in Edgehill, locals and visitors alike gather on Christmas Eve for a truly magical night overlooking the battlefield.
  • The House in Leamington brings the sparkle with cocktails, DJs, and late-night lounging for those who like their Christmas with a touch of glam.
  • The Bell Inn in Ladbroke is all about cosy comfort and the feeling of being wrapped up in a big festive hug — Sunday roasts by the fire are a must.
  • The Red Lion in Hellidon is the place for wintry walks and hearty food, often accompanied by a spontaneous singalong or a dog snoozing by the hearth.
  • Over in Hook NortonThe Sun Inn offers rustic charm, fairy lights, and the kind of hospitality that makes you stay for one more.
  • And of course, The George is ready to make its grand entrance – our newest member, bringing a fresh take on festive with countryside views and a warm soul.

Each pub has its own rhythm and rituals, some better for a knees-up, others for slow afternoons with a board game and a big bowl of chips. But wherever you choose, you’ll be greeted like an old friend.
