Christmas in Greyfriars Hall

A Magical, Stress-Free Christmas Day Feast in Edinburgh

This Christmas, skip the shopping, the cooking, and the clean-up - and join us for a Festive Family Feast at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh’s Greyfriars Hall, one of the city’s most atmospheric venues. Imagine ceilings high enough to reach the sky, richly decorated to cherish the season, grandiose windows and dark wooden panelling that further elevates the space to match the occasion of your special meal in the Old Town.

Once a historic church, now a warm and welcoming space, Greyfriars Hall sets the scene for a joyful afternoon filled with great food and festive spirit for your magical Christmas Day lunch in the city centre.

Start your celebration with a help-yourself starter buffet of smoked salmon, scallops, charcuterie, cheeses, and artisan breads. Then enjoy your choice of main course - from roast turkey roulade wrapped in Parma ham, to a hearty Mushroom Wellington or Scottish salmon. All served with traditional sides like pigs in blankets, duck fat roast potatoes, honey-glazed carrots, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts.

Finish your festive feast on a sweet note with a decadent chocolate crémeux with raspberry gel, salted caramel, and pistachio crumb.

Guests will enjoy a relaxed, communal vibe with joiner tables of ten and drinks available to purchase on the day. Perfect for families and friends looking for something different this year.
