CHRISTMAS 
AT THE SWAN

Frost on the vines, candles in the windows, and a glass of something from just across the yard.

By December the harvest is long in and the vineyard has gone quiet, silver in the mornings and dark by teatime. Inside, the fire is lit and our chefs are cooking for the season. Maldon oysters under a gelée of Chapel Down Brut, Sutton Hoo chicken with a pig in blanket, dark chocolate mousse with a curl of orange. Bring your team, your family, or the friends you only see once a year. We’ll pour the fizz.

FESTIVE PARTIES

Our December Party Menu runs all month, lunch and dinner — two courses for £40 or three for £48, each dish paired by our team with a wine made a few hundred yards from your table.

Begin with a Tenterden Fizz — Chapel Down Brut lengthened with Aker English Aperitif — and let the evening take its time.

Two hands holding champagne flutes filled with white wine, toasting outdoors with a background of blurred white flowers and greenery, with the glasses labeled 'Chapel Down'.
