Christmas at The Working Boat 2024
Festive gatherings: It’s the most wonderful time for a beer! The Working Boat know how to throw a proper Cornish Christmas party. Whether it’s a cosy catch-up, jolly knees-up, or private party we’ll be hosting gatherings in the pub. Dine on hearty seasonal dishes rustled up by our crew, and drink and be merry with our toasty tipples, available for both lunch or dinner (to be complete with a free welcome broth.) Find out more here.
Christmas Eve: Join us the night before Christmas and sing along to the soulful sounds of Eight in a Bar who’ll be playing throughout the afternoon. They’ll be a reduced menu and piping hot pasties to hand with any donations made going to charity. All are welcome, including four legged friends. So grab the mulled wine and festive jumper to get in the yuletide spirit!
Christmas Day lunch: Forget peeling the potatoes, roasting the turkey and washing up this year. Join us for our three course Christmas Day lunch with all the trimmings instead! Find out more here.
Book online, by calling 01326 314283 or by emailing hannah.martin@theworkingboat.co.uk. We will ask for a £35 per person deposit at the time of booking.
Sunday Night Quiz
Pub quiz fan? The Working Boat crew hosts a quiz every Sunday from 7:30 PM. There’s plenty of prizes to be won (including a bounty of beers from local brewery Lacuna). Our pub quizzes are free to enter but if you’d like to put an optional donation in our pot, we will be collecting for our chosen local charities each month. These are all suggested by our staff members, as being close to our own hearts.
