A Culinary Extravaganza: Festive Afternoon Tea
In sync with the cinematic debut of Wonka in December, The Grand introduces its Festive Afternoon Tea, a gastronomic journey featuring a menu brimming with chocolate-infused creations and seasonal savouries.

Delight in the sea-facing terrace ambience as you relish homemade chocolate marshmallows with popping candy, delectable chocolate, praline, and orange choux, and a festive mini sherry trifle.
The pièce de résistance is the special “Grand” marbled chocolate bar, offering guests a chance to uncover a golden ticket and win a bottle of Champagne. Priced at £38 per person, reservations are open, urging early bookings for this indulgent experience.
For a quintessential British experience, Cyan restaurant presents a timeless British roast, boasting a selection of five options complemented by all the classic trimmings – from roast potatoes and carrots to parsnips, swede, French beans, spring cabbage, and cauliflower cheese.
Grand Celebrations: Festive Party Nights
The Grand invites you to revel in grandeur during its shared Christmas party nights, ideal for friends, family, and colleagues alike.
Held in the opulent Empress Suite, these evenings promise a lavish three-course meal, complete with coffee and wine, all for £75 per person (with a minimum group size of eight people).
As the curtain falls on 2023, The Grand extends an invitation to bid farewell in style with an exclusive New Year’s Eve party package. Check in and absorb the festive ambience before heading to the Empress Suite for a Champagne reception, followed by a sumptuous five-course tasting menu.
Dance into the night with live music from the UK’s premier event band, RadioAction. The package, tailored for adults aged 18 and over, starts from £600 for two, residing in a classic double or twin room. Embrace the dawn with a grand breakfast before concluding your celebratory stay.
