CHRISTMAS DAY, BOXING DAY & NEW YEAR’S EVE FESTIVITIES AT THE QUEEN VICTORIA PUB

Christmas Day Enjoy a traditional British Christmas Turkey Dinner with all the trimmings. Try our homemade “Figgy Pudding” with Brandy sauce. All for $22.50 per person, served 24 hours.

Boxing Day Traditionally this day belonged to the peasants. On Christmas day in the 1800’s it was common practice for the working folk to be busy at the Lords house preparing for his Christmas festivities. They would be cooks, maids and not unlike Las Vegas valets they would park the visitors horses and carriages. As they left the “Big House” the head servants would box up the leftovers and give them to the people that had worked the event. The next day, on the 26th of December, the peasants would then celebrate their Christmas day and open the “Boxed” food. In Britain today you would find that Christmas Day is celebrated with the immediate family and Boxing Day is a time for the extended family to gather and celebrate together. The traditional Christmas dinner will be served this day also.
