Christmas Dining, Parties & Stays
Christmas Menus
Good country cooking is what Christmas calls for, and it's what our kitchen does best. We've created festive menus full of the season's favourites — hearty, warming plates built for long lunches and merry evenings.
Throughout December, The Lion hosts festive gatherings of every kind — family meals, celebrations with friends, works dos and shopping-day lunches fresh from Bicester Village — all in the glow of a real fire.
And on Christmas Day itself, we'll take the whole job off your hands. A full festive feast with all the trimmings, from starters through hearty roasts to puddings, with nothing left for you to do but enjoy it.
Village pubs fill fast at Christmas, and ours is no exception — book your table early.

Visiting family and friends near Bicester this Christmas? Make The Lion your base. Our rooms are open throughout the festive season — a cosy village bolthole that beats the spare room, minutes from town and Bicester Village alike. And if you're staying with us over Christmas itself, you're warmly invited to join us for Christmas Day — just book your table when you book your room.

Party & Private Dining Spaces
For celebrations that deserve their own corner of the pub, The Lion has three to choose from. The Cottage, The Gallery and The Lavender Room can each be reserved for private festive get-togethers — the same seasonal menus and village warmth, in a space that's all yours. Tell us the occasion and we'll find the right room.
