At Malmaison, dining lies at the heart of every celebration.

Whether it is a golden roast turkey with all the trimmings or a rich, slow-cooked dish paired with a full-bodied red, every plate is designed to bring people together around the table.
Each hotel offers a range of dining formats to suit the occasion. Gather friends or colleagues for a leisurely three-course meal in our Bar & Grill, or choose a more relaxed evening with canapés and cocktails served in one of our private dining rooms. Larger groups can enjoy banqueting-style celebrations, complete with festive music, decorative touches, and dedicated service that makes the whole experience seamless.
No Christmas at Malmaison would be complete without a carefully curated wine list and seasonal drinks menu. From mulled wine and Champagne to limited-edition cocktails created by our in-house mixologists, every drink complements the food and heightens the festive mood.
