Our First Christmas
A Christmas Day to remember
For the very first time, The Elephant Crossing opens its doors on Christmas Day. Settle in by the river for a joyful afternoon of homemade world cuisine, handcrafted cocktails and the company of the people you love most.
Five thoughtfully crafted courses, the option to add a wine or cocktail flight, and all the warmth of our riverside speak-easy. No allergy is too much for us — entirely gluten free already by design, dairy free by request, contact us to discuss more allergy modifications! This is Christmas, the Elephant way.
Join us today for an early bird pricing of £49 per person, if booked before 31st August.
