Set in 38 acres of formal gardens and woodland, Hastings Hotel is a great choice for both Christmas and New Year celebrations. Whether celebrating with colleagues, friends or family, you’ll find a warm Winter welcome, with delectable food and friendly professional service. 

Bannatyne Hotel can cater for any party size you may want this Christmas season - from intimate dining for 2, a smaller celebration of up to 70 guests in one of our private rooms, or join one of our Christmas Party Nights (renowned for their festive fun) of up to 260 guests. Whatever your plans this Christmas, you can rest safe in the knowledge that we have you covered! 

Don’t forget, our “Celebrate ‘n Stay” rates for accommodation, starting from only £60 per person (based on double occupancy), including a hearty full English breakfast. 

Or why not spoil yourself further, with our residential Christmas Escape Break or New Year’s Eve Party which provide exceptional value. 

So let us look after you this Christmas!
Sit back, relax and enjoy our festive hospitality. 

For a small gathering to celebrate Christmas with family, friends or colleagues and without the fanfare of one of our renowned party nights, our Christmas Fayre menu is ideal. Choose from our three course lunch/dinner or our Afternoon Tea menu.
