Join us this festive season at The George in Hathersage for a truly unforgettable Christmas experience. A historic coaching inn at the heart of the Peak District, The George blends traditional charm with contemporary style, the perfect setting for festive dining with friends, family or colleagues.

With oak beams, roaring fires and a warm village welcome, our venue will be beautifully dressed for the season with twinkling lights, seasonal foliage and cosy corners to relax and enjoy the magic of Christmas.

Our 2 or 3-course festive menu is designed to bring warmth and indulgence to your seasonal celebrations. Alongside classics like roast turkey with all the trimmings, you’ll find elevated alternatives such as slow-braised beef blade, or spiced bean cassolette for plant-based diners.

We also offer half portions for children who wish to enjoy dishes from our main festive menu.

Escape the winter chill and treat yourself to our Festive Afternoon Tea, a generous selection of seasonal savoury bites and handmade sweet treats, served with your choice of tea, coffee or a glass of something sparkling!

Whether you're catching up with friends or planning a pre-Christmas treat, this is a perfect way to embrace the spirit of the season in a truly relaxing setting.

Whether you're organising a family gathering or festive get-together with colleagues, The George  offers a welcoming space for group bookings and private celebrations throughout the season.

Our team is on hand to help you create a warm, memorable event with seasonal menus, private dining in our Dragon’s Den, a choice of cosy spaces and festive extras to make your celebration one to remember!

Reserve your table for festive dining, a Christmassy Afternoon Tea or a group celebration today. We can’t wait to welcome you to The George and share the magic of the season in the heart of the Peak District.

Whether you’re popping in for mulled wine by the fire, planning a festive meal or looking for a beautifully dressed venue to host your celebration, The George is the perfect place to relax and indulge this Christmas.
