Book Now for Christmas & New Year!

Christmas 2026

We will be serving our festive menu from Fri 27th November with a separate 3-course menu on Christmas Day. The Festive Menu will only be available to pre-booked parties who have pre-ordered, for all other bookings, our a la cart menu will be available on the day.

During the festive period parties of over 4 people will be required to pay a deposit of £10 per person at the time of the booking except for Christmas Day when the full payment per head is required. For Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve a £10 deposit per head is required. No charge will be made unless you cancel within 24 hours of your booking, or if part or all of your party fail to attend the booking, at which point £10 per person will be charged to the card provided when the booking was made.

To book a Christmas party in one of our private spaces please enquire on events@thekingsarmsdorchester.com.  We have smaller more intimate spaces such as our Old Smoking Room and Private Dining Room if you are a smaller group but we can also cater for larger parties in our Casterbridge Room so please get in touch and let us know what you need.
