How we chose
Every place here publishes a 2026 Christmas Day price on its own site and holds an FSA hygiene rating of 3 or above. Five others did not make the list on 3 November 2026: the Old Plough in Stoke D’Abernon says its restaurant is fully booked for Christmas Day; the Minnow in Weybridge takes Christmas Day bookings with a £10 deposit, but its Christmas Day menu carries no price; the Albert Arms in Esher lists Christmas Day food from 12pm to 3pm, but the Christmas menu linked from its site is a 2025 file with no Christmas Day price; the Bear in Esher publishes a £99 Christmas Day menu but holds an FSA hygiene rating of 2 (April 2026); and the Running Mare in Cobham shows no Christmas Day menu. Prices are as published on 3 November 2026, and Christmas menus usually need a deposit and a pre-order, so check the terms when you book.
