What our customers say about Christmas at the Fentimans

Lovely staff and a great place for a party! We had our team's Christmas lunch here, and it was fantastic. The service was 10/10—very helpful in calling out people's names from the pre-orders. We booked out the refectory room, which was a lovely space and useful to be away from the rest of the pub.

Private Hire during Christmas? Yes way! The panic of sorting out the Christmas Party - yup it fills the selected one with fear every year (even in April!). Fear not though, the Fentiman Arms have a brilliant space on the upper floor which you can hire out (for all occasions) and have your own bar and food brought up to you! We booked a space with the Fentiman with no problem, and no deposit either (just a charge for the amount of people who don't turn up from what is quoted), and it happily houses about 30 dancers :) We ordered the Christmas platter which was just enough to go around, the service was friendly and ample space for us to socialise, chill and play board games (we brought our own)! We were there for a good 4 hours til closing and everyone left in merriment. The drinks were quite pricey but the staff made us feel very welcome, particularly as it is just down the road from where we dance, it was nice to support the local pub. Hoping to be back soon for more social times!
