The festive season calls for exceptional food, and The Goat restaurant rises to the occasion with beautifully crafted Christmas menus that celebrate both Welsh produce and seasonal traditions. Our chefs have created lunch and dinner offerings that showcase the very best of winter dining, with prices that welcome everyone to join the celebration.

The festive lunch menu, priced at £26 for two courses or £28 for three courses, offers a wonderful midday feast.

For those seeking something lighter, the Roasted King Oyster Mushroom with arancini, black garlic ketchup and celeriac provides a vegetarian option full of earthy winter flavours.

Main courses celebrate the season with Pembrokeshire Turkey served with pigs in blankets, wild herb stuffing and goose fat roast potatoes – a festive classic executed beautifully. The Baked Salmon, dressed with a Christmas tapenade of pomegranate, herbs, almonds, lemon, dill and cranberries, offers a lighter alternative without sacrificing seasonal flair. Vegetarian guests can enjoy the Nut Roast, accompanied by a Glamorgan sausage bonbon and chestnut gravy.

For the evening service, The Goat's festive dinner menu expands the experience with additional choices, priced at £26 for two courses or £30 for three. Alongside the lunch offerings, dinner guests can begin with the elegant Moel Y Ci Beet Cured Salmon, served with whipped radish, cucumber and rye bread. The main selection includes the indulgent 20-hour Beef Shin, featuring crispy braised shin, celeriac puree, beef dripping pudding and goose fat roast potatoes.

Desserts bring pure festive joy, from the traditional Mince Pie Tart with Christmas pudding ice cream and brandy butter, to the indulgent Burnt Welsh Cream with sesame tuille and cacen gri. The Winter Mille-Feuille, layered with iced berries and whipped cheesecake, offers a lighter finish. At the same time, the Welsh cheese board – "Caws" featuring Môn las, Perl Wen, Hafod, crackers, and cranberry chutney – provides a savoury conclusion for those who prefer it.
