Unwrap the Magic: Why a Restaurant Christmas Dinner is Your Perfect Festive Treat at The Ship Inn
The scent of mulled wine, the twinkle of fairy lights, and the joyous hum of happy chatter – Christmas is almost upon us! It’s a time for celebration, togetherness, and, let’s be honest, truly delicious food. But what if you could experience all the magic of a festive feast without the stress of cooking, endless washing up, and crowded supermarkets? This year, why not treat yourself and your loved ones to a spectacular restaurant Christmas dinner at The Ship Inn?
Here at The Ship Inn, nestled in the heart of Faversham, Kent, we believe the festive season should be about making cherished memories, not slaving over a hot stove. That’s why we’ve pulled out all the stops to create a Christmas dining experience that’s truly unforgettable, brimming with incredible food, cheer, and, of course, a celebratory glass of fizz!
The Full Festive Feast: A Culinary Journey for Your Senses
Forget the same old dry turkey and predictable trimmings. Our dedicated chefs, with over eight decades of combined hospitality experience and a passion for crafting memorable dishes, have designed a menu that elevates classic Christmas flavours to new heights.
Imagine starting your festive journey with our slow-cooked Potted Ham Hock, a rich and comforting prelude, or perhaps the indulgent Baked 4 Cheese Mushrooms (V), a creamy, savoury delight. Each starter is crafted with the freshest ingredients, preparing your palate for the main event.
And what a main event it is! For those seeking ultimate festive indulgence, our SF Christmas Stack is a must-try. Picture crispy boneless chicken thigh, tender pulled gammon, creamy brie, and a sweet cranberry sauce, all perfectly layered for a symphony of flavours and textures. If you’re a purist, fear not – our Traditional Turkey is done right, served with glorious duck fat potatoes that will have you reaching for more. This is no ordinary turkey dinner; this is a restaurant Christmas dinner designed to impress.
No festive meal is complete without a delightful ending, and our desserts are no exception. Choose from the rich and warming classic Christmas Pudding, brimming with fruit and spice, or for something a little lighter, our Black Forest Gateaux (GF) offers a decadent chocolate and cherry treat. And as a special festive touch, both our 2-course (£35) and 3-course (£40) options include a welcoming glass of Prosecco on arrival, setting the perfect celebratory tone.

For those casual get-togethers and impromptu celebrations, our Festive Grazing Boards are ideal for sharing. Whether you opt for “Santa’s Sleigh” or “The Elf’s Feast,” these boards are packed with delectable treats, perfect for nibbling and socialising.
