A hotel has seen a surge in Christmas lunch bookings.

Botley Park, in Winchester Road, Boorley Green, has already booked three-quarters of its capacity for Christmas Day lunch.

The hotel, which is part of the Macdonald Hotels group, has fewer than 50 spaces remaining for its private dining rooms.

This year, guests at Botley Park can look forward to a Christmas dining experience with a festive menu featuring traditional dishes with a twist, including roast turkey with all the trimmings and Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.

The restaurant will be decorated with fairy lights, garlands and a Christmas tree.

Tay Yamac, general manager at Botley Park, said: "This year, we’ve seen a real shift, with more families choosing to leave the cooking and cleaning to us and focus on enjoying quality time together.

"Our bookings are up significantly, and excited to welcome so many guests who are trusting us to make their Christmas extra special."

The hotel is encouraging early reservations to ensure a spot at their Christmas table.

Guests can also book in for a festive afternoon tea, enjoy a Sunday lunch with Santa or treat themselves to a Merry Little Spa-mas.
