Christmas Day lunch around Bromsgrove costs £68.95 to £115 a head at eight pubs. 2026 prices, children's rates, deposits and pay-by dates, from each menu.
For Christmas Day around Bromsgrove, most people land on the Queens Head by the canal at Stoke Pound (£110 with a glass of English sparkling wine), Miller & Carter Marlbrook on Birmingham Road (£109.95) and Toby Carvery Bromsgrove (from £72.99). The lowest Christmas Day price here is £68.95 at the Old Hare and Hounds at Rednal. 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 Day menu, what it includes, what it says about deposits and paying, and its Food Standards Agency (FSA) hygiene rating. Prices are per person. Christmas Day 2026 is a Friday, and at every pub here the Christmas Day set menu is the only menu that day.

How we chose
These are the pubs in and around Bromsgrove that publish a 2026 Christmas Day price you can check. They are not our favourites. We started from the Food Standards Agency register for Bromsgrove District Council, left out anything rated below 3, and kept only places whose own website shows a 2026 Christmas Day menu with a price. Prices, dates and deposit rules come from each venue’s own site and menu on 2 November 2026. Some well-known names are missing: the Ewe and Lamb on Hanbury Road says its Christmas Day is fully booked, and the Court Leet, the Boat and Railway at Stoke Works and the Plough and Harrow at Catshill take Christmas bookings but did not publish a Christmas Day price we could read. Check with the venue before booking, as festive menus can change.
