Christmas near Stroud

Celebrate this Christmas at Egypt Mill

Some places just wear Christmas well, and a 16th-century Cotswold mill is one of them. Set beside its own millpond in Nailsworth, a few minutes from Stroud in the heart of the valleys, Egypt Mill has centuries of character built into its stone walls — including the original waterwheel, still turning away inside the restaurant. Whether it's a festive dinner with family, a long lunch with friends, or a Christmas escape with someone special, this is a setting that does half the celebrating for you. This season, gather the people who matter and let us look after the food, the atmosphere and the memories.

Christmas Menus

Christmas belongs around a table, and ours is ready when you are. Our kitchen has put together festive menus celebrating the best of the season — familiar favourites done well, alongside dishes worth dressing up for.

All through December, the restaurant at Egypt Mill hosts everything from relaxed festive lunches to lively evenings with friends and colleagues, all in the shadow of the old waterwheel.

Come Christmas Day, the only job on your list is showing up hungry. We'll handle the rest — a full festive feast from first course to final pudding, with all the trimmings in between.

December tables at the Mill are always in demand, so book yours early and give this Christmas a setting to remember.
