Festive celebrations at the Jug
With Christmas just around the corner then it’s time to start planning! Join us at The Jug & Bottle this Christmas for a warm, relaxing and friendly festive celebration.
We feature some great Christmas guest ales that are brewed just for the season along with steaming mulled wine. Mix these with our open fire, cosy surroundings and friendly bar team, and we really have a recipe for a fantastic Christmas.
As always, there’ll be a lively and friendly atmosphere full of festive cheer making it the perfect place for your Christmas celebrations.
This year we are doing things slightly different, we won't be having a set Christmas menu as such but instead having lots of yummy festive specials on our every day menu throughout December for you to choose from.
