From the Chef...

“The Turkey and Ham Wellington is always a huge favourite,” says Martin.

“We sometimes forget that not everybody eats turkey and ham on Christmas Day so a lot of people enjoy eating it when they go out. I always think it feels like Christmas when you’re eating turkey and ham! We also have a choice of fish, a gorgeous Ribeye steak, along with Wild Mushroom and Puy Lentils, for our main course, so there's something for everyone really."

“For dessert, we also have a festive ‘After Eight Chocolate Fondant’ which is made to order, and it oozes After Eight chocolate when you cut into it. That’s very popular too and has been on my menu for years."

"There’s something very special about Blackrock Cottage at Christmas.
I think the unique location, the relaxed atmosphere and, obviously, the quality of the food just all lends itself to a Christmas catch-up or get-together.”
