As the town begins to twinkle with festive lights and the scent of mulled wine fills the air, Côte Brasserie Henley has unveiled its Menu de Noël, a celebration of French-inspired indulgence and seasonal comfort.

Côte Christmas drinks are flirting with all the festive feels with a Mulled Berry Spritz, Gingerbread Martini and Gingerbread Hot Chocolate capturing the spirit of the season. Starters bring playful variety from a Baked Christmas Tree (think cheesy) to King Prawns in Café de Paris butter, or Beetroot Cured Smoked Salmon. Along with some cheeky sides popping up such as Roasted Miso Parsnips, Sprouts à la Française and Côte pigs in Blankets drizzled in a hot honey glaze.

The centrepiece is a Roast Turkey Ballotine, wrapped in bacon and served with confit potatoes, apricot‑mustard Chantenay carrots, honey‑glazed piggies and thyme jus. For those who prefer something different, there’s a luxurious Sea Bream Velouté with lobster sauce, a hearty Chestnut & Sage Tartiflette, or a 30‑day aged sirloin steak accompanied by Côte’s signature free‑flow frites and sauces.

Dessert? It’s the festive finale with a Black Forest Financier, Winter Berry Log, Christmas Pudding Nougat and Mince Pie Pan Perdu all jostling to be the prize pudding at the end of the meal. For families, there’s a Kids Festive Menu, a scaled-down version of the main event, with enough choice to keep little ones happy while still feeling part of the celebration.

If you’re more of a morning person, Côte’s Festive Breakfast Specials are worth a look, fancy a sandwich of festive piggies topped with a fried egg? Ideal for a pre-shopping treat or a lazy start to a December day.

On Christmas Day itself, for those who’d rather swap the roasting tin for a reservation, Côte is offering something new this year with a Christmas Day menu. Expect Champagne on arrival, a leisurely three-course lunch, and the kind of relaxed, candlelit atmosphere that makes you glad you left the washing up to someone else.

The Menu de Noël is available as a set menu, two courses & a glass of fizz for £40.95 or three for £47.95

This Christmas, every little gesture adds up to something wonderful

When you dine at Côte Brasserie this Christmas, you’re helping bring joy and hope to children and their families at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). GOSH provides world-class care and treatment to children across the UK and is often a last chance for kids who are facing the rarest or most complex illnesses.

No child should have to spend Christmas in hospital, but when they do, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) does everything it can to make hospital feel like home, from crafting decorations to carol singing and early morning stocking opening.
