Your Greenbank Christmas…
23RD DECEMBER
Your Cornish Christmas break begins! We’ll have the mulled wine and mince pies on standby eagerly awaiting your arrival in the Water’s Edge bar.
Dinner will be served each night in our awardwinning Water’s Edge restaurant courtesy of our Executive Chef Nick Hodges, Head Chef Bobby Southworth and the rest of the talented Greenbank kitchen brigade. Our traditional dishes with imaginative twists will have you wishing it could be Christmas every day!
Sample a slice of Cornwall with every mouthful, as our team use seasonal ingredients that are locally sourced wherever possible to create an unforgettable culinary experience. Think hearty winter warmers and showstopping numbers that pack a punch of flavour and creative flair, cooked to perfection and presented to impress.
On the evening of 23rd December, we’ll be tapping our toes and singing along to all our favourite carols in the Water’s Edge bar with a live performance from St Keverne brass band. Pop down for canapés and let the revelries commence. For those who want to sing-along, we’ll be providing song sheets at the bar.
CHRISTMAS EVE
Choir singers, Cornish pasties and seasonal cheer all round. If you haven’t experienced Christmas Eve in Falmouth before, you are in for a total treat. Rise and shine with a hearty breakfast by the bobbing boats and shimmering riverside, as you fuel up for an exciting day ahead.
Take the short stroll into the charming high street for some last minute shopping, warming hot chocolates or something a little stronger. The Cornish Christmas Harmony Choir’s annual performance is not one to miss and starts from 10:30am, when the town echoes the sweet sounds of carol singing, laughter and anticipation as the festivities unfold.
At 3pm, head back to The Working Boat for a jolly afternoon of sing-songs with a local choir group over a few toasty tipples, mince pies and fresh-out-the-oven pasties.
And there’s plenty more going on upstairs in the Water’s Edge. How about indulging in our festive afternoon tea complete with delightful miniature sweet treats and elegant finger sandwiches? The bar team will also be shaking up some special Christmas cocktails before dinner is served (additional charges apply). “
To make the evening even more magical, a magician will be performing from 7pm until 9pm on Christmas Eve, bringing plenty of festive fun and entertainment for all ages.
CHRISTMAS DAY
Recreate the nostalgia of opening your eyes on Christmas morning to the feeling of glee and magic as you wake to a surprise. Whether you’re up with the larks to see if Santa has visited, or making the most of the holiday season with a mellow morning lie-in, start the day at the Water’s Edge for breakfast, paired with Buck’s fizz.
For the full coastal experience, embrace the crisp morning with the yearly Christmas Day swim at Gyllyngvase Beach from 10am, where locals and visitors alike dash into the lapping waves in all their festive hats, scarves and swimwear – a rather brisk way to start the day!
This Christmas, leave the cooking to us, as our chefs will be merrily roasting the turkey, peeling the potatoes and baking the mince pies, so all you need to worry about is pulling the Christmas crackers with your loved ones – we’ll even handle the clean up!
As the evening draws near, snuggle up in the bar with a Christmas tipple or two, solve a puzzle in The Flushing Suite, and graze on a Cornish buffet with all the trimmings. After all the excitement of the day, rest your head and reflect on the magical memories made as you sink into a peaceful slumber.
BOXING DAY
Boxing Day is a day of leisure. Wake late, take your time over breakfast, then spend the day as you please.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll into Falmouth town, passing the docks and taking in views of Pendennis Castle, or stay cosy indoors with a selection of games in our Flushing Suite.
For ultimate relaxation, retreat to our wood-fired harbourside sauna, where you can breathe in the scent of the fire, let the heat sink deep, then plunge into the clear waters for the most invigorating of swims. Additional charges apply and opening times are to be confirmed.
