The Wheelhouse in Wollaton is where Christmas comes together

Join us and let’s make a really big deal of Christmas 2025.

Christmas without the cooking? Yes, please! This year, The Wheelhouse is where Christmas comes together, and we’re doing it BIG. We’re talking mountains of meat, pigs in blankets galore, crispy roasties, and pints poured to perfection. Whether you’re planning a full-on family feast, a work do that ends in a sprout-off (again), or a day filled with Christmas magic for the kids, we’ve got the food, fizz, and festive feels to make it magical.

Expect value you can sleigh, portions that don’t hold back, and a warm pub atmosphere that’s more comforting than a novelty jumper.

Get in the spirit of generosity

There’s more than just one big day! Our Festive Fayre Menu is running from the 11th of November - ideal for hungry families, work nights out, or just squeezing in another helping of roasties. Fancy something magical for the little ones? Don’t miss Breakfast with Santa. That's right, the big man is returning with festive brekkie favourites, fun for the kids, and some surprises the elves have been whipping up.

And when December draws to a close, we’ll be saying goodbye to 2025 the best way we know how – good grub, good vibes and a New Year’s Eve celebration worth raising a pint to.

Bookings for the Festive Menu and Breakfast with Santa go live on 3rd September but this is just a jingle of what's to come, so, don’t miss out. You bring the Christmas jumpers, we’ll bring the gravy.

Why choose Wheelhouse for Christmas?

We’re going BIG this Christmas – bigger plates, bigger portions, and even bigger festive fun! The search for pubs doing Christmas dinner near you is over – this is the place. Come on in, raise a toast to the season and get stuck in. Here’s why Wheelhouse should be top of your list this Christmas.

Festive food & drink galore

We’ve got tender, sizzling steaks, indulgent desserts and all the festive tipples you could dream of. Our Christmas menu has something for everyone, from a traditional roast with crispy roasties, fluffy Yorkshire puds, and lashings of rich gravy to melt-in-your-mouth puddings that’ll have you coming back for more.

Kids get their own dedicated Christmas menu, packed with delicious treats and festive puddings, so the whole family can tuck in. And for the grown-ups? Check out our Christmassy cocktails that’ll have you feeling merry and bright all month long. Cheers!

Special Christmas events

Now, we love food. That’s why we’ve made sure we’ve got pubs open on Christmas Day near you. But Christmas isn’t all about the dinner – hear us out. We’ve got tons of exciting events going on to keep the festive spirit alive. Why not bring the kids along for Breakfast with Santa? They can meet the main man himself while enjoying a fantastic breakfast to kick off the day.

What foods do we traditionally eat at Christmas?

Let’s be honest, Christmas is just one long, glorious excuse to eat your body weight in festive food – and we’re absolutely here for it. So what does the typical table look like on the big day?
A traditional Christmas dinner will see plates piled high with juicy turkey, beef, chicken, or other meats. You’ll also find crispy roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, and yes, even Brussels sprouts (we don’t judge). Add in rich gravy, Yorkshire puds, and cheesy cauliflower goodness, and you’ve got a feast fit for a king.

And if you’ve still got room (respect), Christmas pudding is waiting to round things off in all its boozy, sauce-soaked glory. Sound like a lot? Let Wheelhouse take care of it this year. Less cooking, more eating – now that’s the true spirit of Christmas.

Christmas 2025: What you need to know

Christmas Day in 2025 falls on a Thursday, which means you can turn your festive celebrations into an extra-long weekend! With bank holidays on the 25th and 26th, take just three days off and you’ll bag yourself a full NINE days off work – plenty of time for feasting, partying and putting your feet up.
