A Magical Christmas Awaits at The Saracens Head in Great Dunmow

‘Tis The Season To Be Jolly

Festive menus honour tradition with succulent roast turkey, crisp roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, and winter vegetables – all served with Chef’s time-honoured gravy and festive cheer. Mulled wines, fine ales, and sparkling toasts flow as easily as the conversation.

Throughout December, the spirit of Christmas lives in every corner of this festive wonderland. Not just a place to dine or stay, it’s a sanctuary of shared memory and tradition. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of occasion and Christmas magic – garlands elegantly draped, flickering candles dancing on wood-panelled walls, and the hum of conversation and laughter as friends, families, and colleagues come together to mark the season of goodwill.

If you’re one of the lucky ones staying over, the charming rooms offer a warm, peaceful retreat. There’s something quite magical about waking on a crisp December morning in a place where centuries of celebration have come before.

This is a traditional Christmas in a proper British inn, beautifully preserved and joyfully lived.
