In this most turbulent of years, it’s our pleasure to be able to welcome you to Gonville Hotel this Christmas.
This year, the hotel will be adorned with beautiful decorations from the middle of November through to the new year, so you’ll feel festive the moment you step through the door.
Our chef and the team have created a sumptuous Christmas Eve menu and Christmas day menu along with a mouthwatering seasonal private dining menu perfect for your Christmas get togethers at Gonville Hotel .
