Christmas in Westbourne

Nestled in the heart of Westbourne, our beautiful, high street pub is the perfect spot to spend the festive season. With a cosy atmosphere, our team in good spirits, joints of meat roasting, and the scent of mulled wine in the air, our pub is built for the season.

Whether you’re looking for a festive lunch with work colleagues, hosting a Christmas catch-up event with friends over cocktails, or you’re looking for that traditional Christmas Day lunch with the family, the team are always happy to host.

If you have travelling family and friends, or simply need to rest the weary head after a night of Christmas celebrations, we’ve got you covered with our nearby sister pub The Canford which has 11 coastal style bedrooms for you to stay in just minutes away in a taxi.

Festive Testimonials

An early Christmas Eve meal and the atmosphere was festive, staff were friendly even though it was a busy night. I had roast turkey with all the trimmings and it was delicious and a huge portion, I also ordered a side of pork stuffing and couldn’t finish it. Great time in a great place.

Hillier Family - Christmas 2025

Excellent festive food and very friendly service from the 2 waitresses. We had a great evening and will definitely be back next year.

Kevin - Christmas 2024

Today we were served by the lovely Poppy, so friendly & helpful, the dining room & bar are decorated beautifully for Christmas, so festive. I chose the Roast Pork & my husband chose the Roast Chicken, delicious and cooked perfectly , the portions are very generous so we couldn’t manage a starter or dessert, thanks for a lovely festive lunch, we’ll be back again soon.
