When considering where to eat on Christmas Day, the main course selection often makes or breaks the experience. At The Goat, the Christmas Day menu features show-stopping dishes that honour tradition while embracing modern dining techniques.
The Welsh-Reared Turkey is the star of the show, served with all the trimmings: pigs in blankets, goose fat roast potatoes, and stuffing that evokes memories of family gatherings past. However, this is where The Goat's innovative approach to modern dining truly shines. Alongside traditional options, you'll find Winter Spiced Duck Breast, featuring slow-cooked duck leg, duck fat roast potatoes, and berry jam, offering a sophisticated alternative to the usual fare.
The Roast Sirloin of Welsh Beef showcases local produce at its finest, complete with crispy beef shin, Yorkshire pudding, and duck fat roast potatoes. Meanwhile, the 1/2 Lobster Thermidor with warm potato salad elevates Christmas Day dining to new heights, proving that The Goat Llandudno understands that festive doesn't always mean turkey and all the trimmings.
For vegetarian diners, the Beetroot Wellington, featuring beetroot, mushroom, and chestnut gravy, offers a main course that's every bit as celebratory as its meat counterparts.
True to fine dining tradition, a Mulled Wine & Berry sorbet course appears midway through the meal, offering a refreshing interlude that prepares your palate for the sweet finale ahead.
The dessert selection on The Goat's festive menu reads like a love letter to Christmas. The Black Forest Chocolate Brownie, featuring cherries and vanilla ice cream, delivers decadence, while the Tarte au Citron, with meringue and raspberry sorbet, offers a lighter, zesty option. The Banana & Blackberry Crumble with vanilla custard provides that comforting, home-style finish many crave after the main event.
For cheese lovers, Welsh Cheese, served with crackers and chutney, celebrates local producers. The meal concludes with Homemade Mince Pies, Christmas Cake, and petit fours; a traditional touch that feels wonderfully nostalgic.
