The holidays are here, so let Hot Rocks take care of the festivities with our show-stopping Christmas menu and vibrant atmosphere in our Cocktail lounge.
Are you tired of the same old Christmas party venues that feel stuffy and predictable? We get it. Planning the perfect festive gathering shouldn't feel like wrestling with tinsel in a corporate boardroom.
Whether you're organising a large private work party, family gathering, or catch-up with mates, we have Christmas party-time venue in Bournemouth covered, taking all the stress out of the season. A Hot Rocks Christmas party is something special, bringing together globally inspired flavours, beachside vibes, and that laid-back energy that makes every celebration feel effortless.
Let us handle the cooking while you focus on making memories.
A Festive Feast That'll Make Your Taste Buds Dance
Let’s establish one thing straight off the bat; we're not your average Christmas venue, so here's where things get properly exciting.
Our Christmas set-menu in Bournemouth isn't just another turkey-and-Brussels-sprouts affair (though we love tradition when it's done right). We've created a three-course journey that celebrates flavours from around the world, because that's just who we are.
Start Strong, Share Better
Your evening kicks off with our generous starter platter – a proper crowd-pleaser loaded with crispy turkey and cranberry potato skins, coconut and biscuit-coated chicken breast strips, traditional pigs in blankets, hickory smoked BBQ chicken wings, and golden onion rings.
All served with a trio of sauces: blue cheese, honey mustard, and sour cream. It's sharing food at its finest, designed to get everyone talking and laughing from the get-go.
Main Event Magic
The mains are where our global soul really shines at our Christmas party Bournemouth restaurant.
Fancy something comforting? Our braised lamb shank comes with sweet potato mash, roasted root vegetables, and a rich rosemary jus that'll warm you right through.
Looking for elegance? Try our roasted chicken breast, stuffed with melted brie and prosciutto, served over roasted potatoes with fine green beans, sizzled spinach, and a creamy mushroom sauce sprinkled with toasted almonds.
For those who like their festive meals with a bit of attitude, our prime beef burger topped with pancetta and melted Stilton in a rosemary bun with cranberry relish hits every flavour note. And the beef bourguignon lovers get slow-cooked perfection with bacon, onions, mushrooms, and carrots in rich red wine gravy, accompanied by crispy duchess potatoes.
Seafood fans aren't forgotten either. Our fresh local mussels cooked in smooth red Thai sauce with seasonal peppers and shallots come with ciabatta garlic bread, while the perfectly roasted sea bream fillet sits in creamy white wine sauce with velvety mashed potatoes, asparagus spears, and pak choi.
Lastly, vegetarians get the royal treatment with baked layers of aubergine in our luscious marinara sauce with basil, extra virgin olive oil, and melted mozzarella.
And because we're Hot Rocks, any 12-inch Neapolitan wood-fired pizza of your choice rounds out the options – build your own masterpiece of the ‘best pizza in Bournemouth’.
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
And what meal would be complete without dessert?
The sweet finale features three showstoppers:
- Rich Havanna Club 7 rum chocolate mousse topped with crumbled triple chocolate biscuits, crushed pistachios, and icing sugar
- Light and creamy crème brûlée with caramelised sugar
- Chocolate digestive base banoffee pie layered with thick salted caramel, fresh bananas, and whipped double cream finished with chocolate swirls
