A warm welcome and first-class festive fare will be on the menu again at one of East Dunbartonshire's most stylish buildings this year.
Kilmardinny House in Bearsden will once more be hosting luxury lunches fit for Good King Wenceslas - the perfect treat to set you up for a cracker of a Christmas.
Book your place for lunch at the A-listed building for Thursday 12 December, Friday 13 December, Wednesday 18 December and/or Thursday 19 December 2019.
For just £19.95 per person, you can enjoy a glass of bubbly on arrival at 12.30pm - followed by a fabulous three-course lunch.
The mouth-wateringly merry menu includes options such as:
- Chicken liver & Grand Marnier parfait, apple & fig chutney and toasted brioche
- Lentil soup, with a warm artisan roll & butter
- Roast turkey roulade with sage & onion stuffing, ‘pigs in blankets’, cranberry sauce and gravy
- Wensleydale & creamy leek tart, wrapped in filo pastry.
All main meals will be served with roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts and carrots.
There will also be a choice of desserts - Christmas pudding with brandy sauce or a winter fruit pavlova, with raspberry compote.
The lunches are being organised by East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture (EDLC) Trust and specialist caterers Elior.

Councillor Billy Hendry, Convener of the Council's Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets Committee, said, "Celebrate the festive season in style - secure your tickets now for the Kilmardinny Christmas lunches, offering first-class food and drink in the historic surrounds of this A-listed facility.
"As well as providing people with the chance to socialise and enjoy festive fare, it's an opportunity to see the stunning building for yourself."
Sandy Marshall, Chair of EDLC Trust, said, "Don't miss out on a mouth-watering Christmas lunch in wonderful surroundings. Kilmardinny House was rejuvenated by a major programme of works - delivered by the Council in conjunction with the Trust - and it's important for the facility's ongoing sustainability and vitality that we cater for a range of uses, from commercial events to arts and cultural bookings."
Lunches will be served in the garden pavilion extension - which provides a modern, flexible space able to accommodate a range of activities, including performances, exhibitions, conferences and weddings.
The main house - located in Kilmardinny Avenue, Bearsden - offers a range of rooms and studios for use by local arts and community groups, as well as individuals, companies and organisations.
