Christmas
Christmas
taken care of
From festive feasts to overnight retreats,
this Christmas, Tuddenham Mill has got it covered
If the idea of spending hours in the
kitchen and constantly tidying up from
the Christmas mayhem isn’t quite filling
you with excitement, why not let someone
else do all of the hard work this year?
Tuddenham Mill has a range of two and
three night packages which would be ideal
for those seeking a true Christmas break.
Check in to one of their Mill Stream rooms
or Loft Suites on Christmas Eve and be
taken care of right through to Boxing Day.
If exquisite dining and idyllic rural settings
are your thing, then their award-winning
menus and picturesque views certainly
won’t disappoint. You’ll be greeted with
mulled wine and mince pies and can spend
the afternoon however you wish until dinner
is served that evening.
For those who fancy it, how about Midnight
Mass at Bury St Edmunds’ historic
cathedral? Then welcome Christmas Day
in a leisurely manner as you enjoy a deluxe
breakfast and see how generous Santa has
been!
Tuddenham’s much-loved Christmas Day
lunch will then be served by renowned
Head Chef, Lee Bye and his team. There’s
a choice of Loch Duart salmon, duck liver
parfait, squash soup and Denham Estate
venison to start, all of which are served with
expertly picked seasonal ingredients. For
the main event, choose from Norfolk black
turkey, Woodbridge pork, Arbroath pollock
or potato Wellington, all of which are served
with locally-sourced trimmings including,
the famous Newmarket sausage, malt
glazed parsnips, salt-baked golden beetroot
and other festive delights. Those with a
sweet tooth will also be delighted to hear
there’s a pre-dessert as well as the option
of traditional Christmas pudding, bitter
chocolate marquise, marmalade glazed
almond cake or an enviable board of British
cheeses and chutneys. Following your
festive feast, the evening will see a range of
grazing boards which you can enjoy in their
bar or in the comfort of your room. Boxing
Day will allow time for you to work off all of
that delicious food by exploring the scenic
walking routes around Tuddenham before
re-fuelling with a divine buffet selection.
Does all this luxury sound like something
you could get used to? Then how about a
two-night break to welcome in the New
Year? There’s another fantastic menu on
offer, followed with live music and dancing.
Wake up overlooking the mill pond and
turn to your hangover foodie bag for
much-needed sustenance. Brunch will then
be available until 2pm with a buffet that
evening.
Whether you’re looking for your
Christmas to be taken care of, or a few
days to celebrate the coming of a New
Year, Tuddenham Mill certainly have an
abundance of sophisticated, chic offerings.
