The festive season is always a good excuse for an indulgent treat or two, and a top Doncaster restaurant has created a Christmas menu that is sure to delight the most discerning food lovers.

 The Old Weighing Room Restaurant and Bar set in the grounds of Doncaster Racecourse will offer the special menu and other festive delights during December including Christmas Day Lunch and New Year’s Eve Dinner.

“The Old Weighing Room Restaurant is a lovely setting to enjoy festive celebrations with friends, family and work colleagues – indeed anyone who loves to dine in style,” said Abby Chandler Marketing Manager Doncaster Racecourse. “And, with a choice of menus, opening times and sittings everyone can enjoy our sumptuous festive dining options, whether it’s to to take a well-earned break from all that shopping or to party the night away with friends!”

Throughout December, diners can sample the delights from our seasonal menu which includes winter favourites such as honey roast parsnip soup or wild mushroom and chestnut arancini to start, Soanes and Sons supreme of chicken or pork and rabbit crumble for the mains, and deliciously festive eggnog crème brulee or cranberry and orange cheesecake for desert. And, if you don’t fancy trussing up a turkey and peeling sprouts this year why not join us for an indulgent Christmas Day Lunch. The table is yours from 12 noon until 6pm and guests will enjoy Champagne on arrival, a six course menu, with hot drinks and petit fours to finish all for just £85.00 per person.

“After all the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, decorating the tree and opening presents, its time to relax  and let us take care of your New Year’s Eve celebrations at our gala New Year’s Eve dinner,” said Abby. “We’ll be starting the evening at 7pm with a glass of Champagne, moving on to four fantastic courses including canapés, more Champagne and petit fours. The party continues after dinner with an eruption of fireworks at midnight – a fitting way to celebrate New Year at Doncaster’s top fine dining restaurant.”

For those organising Christmas parties this year we can also offer the venue for private hire at just £39 per person which includes a winter cocktail on arrival, three course meal and hot drinks.

The Old Weighing Room is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6pm until late and on Sunday from 12noon until 6pm. The restaurant will be closed on Sunday 1 January and reopen as usual from Saturday 7 January, 2017 onwards.
