Christmas Day 2026 costs £71.95 to £145 at eight Kingston borough pubs, hotels and restaurants, with December menus from £22.99: prices, child rates, deposits.
For Christmas Day in Kingston, the menus most people will find are at the three Young’s pubs, the Bishop by Kingston Bridge (£95 a head), the Albert on Kingston Hill and the Victoria in Surbiton (£100 each), and at Warren House hotel on Kingston Hill (£145). The lowest Christmas Day price on this list is £71.95 at the North Star in Chessington. Every entry was checked against the venue’s own site on 2 November 2026.
We have not eaten at any of these for this guide, and nothing here is a review. Each entry gives the price on the venue’s own 2026 Christmas menu, what it includes, and what the venue says about deposits and booking, plus its Food Standards Agency (FSA) hygiene rating from Kingston Council’s inspections. Prices are per person for three courses and exclude any service charge unless we say otherwise. Christmas Day 2026 is a Friday.

How we chose
These are the places in Kingston borough that publish a 2026 Christmas menu with a price you can check. They are not our favourites. We started from the Food Standards Agency register for Kingston Council, left out anything rated below 3, and kept only places whose own website shows a 2026 Christmas price. Prices, dates and deposit rules come from each venue’s own site and menu on 2 November 2026. Eight publish a Christmas Day price; the Wych Elm publishes a December Christmas menu but serves no food on Christmas Day. Some well-known places did not make the list: the Druids Head in the Market Place is closed on Christmas Day, Boaters in Canbury Gardens shows party menus but no Christmas Day menu, the Canbury Arms’ website would not load for us, Côte publishes a national Christmas Day price but nothing specific to its Kingston riverside branch, and Megan’s in Surbiton’s Christmas page is from last year with no prices. Check with the venue before booking, as festive menus can change.
