Something Different This Christmas in Worcestershire You’ll Want to Try

If you’re planning a Christmas event in Worcestershire and you’re craving something a little different from the usual turkey-and-tinsel routine, The Lantern offers a festive

twist you will not forget.

Christmas in Worcestershire is full of charm, but at The Lantern you can experience that familiar magic through the flavours of Thailand and India.

Our Thai-Indian fusion restaurant is at the Mount Pleasant Hotel, right in the heart of Great Malvern. With the town centre glowing with festive lights and the Malvern Hills rising just behind us, it is one of the most atmospheric settings to celebrate Christmas in Malvern.

Whether you are hosting colleagues, gathering friends, or planning a family get-together, we are now taking bookings for Christmas lunches, dinners and festive parties.

Celebrate Christmas in Worcestershire with a Twist at The Lantern 

The traditions of Christmas are many and various. If you’d like to preserve these precious traditions while adding a new spin to a yearly event, consider The Lantern.

Our talented chefs combine vibrant ingredients and recipes, playing with the well-spiced and seasoned palates of India and Thailand to produce delicious results. Our festive menu is all about warmth, comfort and richness of flavour. 

Better still, our location behind the Mount Pleasant Hotel gives you access to private dining rooms, hotel stays for guests, and options for tailoring your celebration.

Why Malvern at Christmas Is the Perfect Backdrop 

Christmas in Malvern feels magical in a very real way. The town’s historic streets and independent shops are beautifully dressed for the season, markets fill the squares with live music and food stalls, and everything is walkable from our restaurant.

Meanwhile, the Malvern Hills sit just behind the hotel, turning winter sunsets and frosty mornings into part of the celebration. 

If you are choosing between Christmas party venues near me, few match the backdrop of Malvern at Christmas.

Christmas Dinner in Worcestershire with Thai and Indian Flavours 

Christmas celebration bookings at The Lantern are available from November 17^th to January 10^th. 

Our festive set menu, available for up to 20 people, is priced at £25 per person for two courses and a side, and £32 per person for three courses and a side.

Vegetarian and vegan options are readily available, and dishes have been carefully selected to:

A Festive Buffet Made for Christmas Parties in Worcestershire 

Groups of more than 20 people can enjoy a fully-fledged festive buffet experience at The Lantern.

This menu features six incredible mains, two delicious soups, several sides, and four mouth-watering dessert options. It’s a generous and decadent spread, perfectly selected to bring people together and delight their senses during the festive season. 

As with the festive set menu, prices are reasonable at £25 per person for two courses or £32 per person for three courses.

Discover Indian-Style Christmas Afternoon Tea in Worcestershire 

Hoping to swap the standard Christmas dinner booking for Christmas afternoon tea in Worcestershire? Our Maharaja High Tea is a must-try for parties of 10 or more. 

This authentic Indian afternoon tea experience has all the beloved features of an English high tea, but your perfectly presented platters of light bites won’t be laden with cucumber sandwiches and scones. Instead, you’ll dig into Punjabi sandwiches, bhajis, spring rolls and more. (Plus a few sweet treats like macarons.)

Maharaja High Tea is priced at £35 per person if paired with a steaming-hot cup of chai, or £43 per person if you’d prefer to enjoy your food with an accompanying cocktail/bottle of Prosecco.

Make Your Christmas in Malvern a Full Celebration

As briefly mentioned above, The Lantern is one of Mount Pleasant Hotel’s two on-site restaurants, and a booking with us comes with the flexibility of Mount Pleasant’s facilities.

Hotel rooms can be booked alongside your event if anyone in your party fancies an overnight stay. 

Private dining options are available for smaller groups (the Morgan Lounge) and larger groups (the Dame Laura Knight Suite).

For those looking to celebrate in style, the three-night Christmas Escape package at the Mount Pleasant Hotel (24th to 27th December) includes luxury accommodation and festive dining across both of our restaurants, with The Lantern and the Mulberry Tree each offering their own unique flavour of Christmas.
