This Christmas, gather your friends, family, or colleagues and celebrate with our specially curated Festive Party Menu, created by our new Head Chef, Tom Browning. Using the finest local and seasonal ingredients, Tom has designed a menu full of festive flavours to make your celebration truly memorable.

Set within our 13th-century thatched inn, nestled in the heart of Dartmoor, Bearslake provides the perfect backdrop for your Christmas get-together. Whether it’s a cosy evening with colleagues or a joyful family gathering, our festive dining experience is designed for groups of six or more.

Enjoy two courses for £30 per person or three courses for £36 per person, and let us take care of the rest while you relax in the warmth of our roaring fires. Before or after your meal, why not step out from our garden onto the moor for a refreshing winter walk – the perfect way to add a little Dartmoor magic to your celebration.

And don’t forget, we’re proudly dog-friendly – so your four-legged companions are always welcome to join in the festive fun too.
