A Festive Menu Worth Celebrating
If you're wondering where to eat for Christmas Day in Llandudno, The Goat's Christmas Day menu is designed to take the stress out of hosting while delivering an unforgettable dining experience. Priced at £110 per adult and £50 per child (ages 4-12), the menu showcases the best of Welsh produce with a modern twist that's become The Goat's signature style.
Tables of six or more adults receive a complimentary bottle of Champagne, and every guest is welcomed with Fizz and Canapés on arrival, because Christmas Day deserves to start with a bit of sparkle.
Starters That Set the Tone
The festive menu opens with a selection of carefully crafted starters that celebrate both Welsh heritage and global influences. The Welsh Onion Soup with rarebit offers comfort and warmth, while the King Prawn & Crab Cocktail brings a touch of elegance with gem lettuce and compressed cucumber. For those seeking something richer, the Duck Parfait delivers indulgent flavours that signal this is no ordinary Christmas lunch.
Vegetarian guests aren't overlooked. The King Oyster Mushroom starter, paired with arancini, black garlic ketchup, and celeriac, proves that plant-based dining can be just as luxurious and festive.
Mains That Honour Welsh Tradition
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.
A Palate-Cleansing Pause
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.
Desserts to Remember
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.
