Best Bistros in Thornton Hough

We loved our first Christmas Day at Burnt Truffle everyone made our day special and of course the food and drinks were spectacular

Absolutely brilliant Christmas dinner at Kala. Food was, as always, amazing. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. It's the first time we have eaten out for Christmas dinner but we loved the experience and it definitely won't be the last. Thank you to all the FOH staff and of course those working hard in the kitchen to deliver a superb meal.

Hispi is our favourite restaurant so we were delighted to get in early enough to book a table for Christmas Day. We knew it would be excellent, but the team delivered beyond our expectations and the whole experience could not have been better. There was a lovely atmosphere, and although the restaurant was full the staff succeeded in timing everything to absolute perfection. Having been asked to choose from the menu in advance, it was nice to have the option to change our minds on the day (which we didn't). There were fresh flowers and crackers on the table, and the Christmas card was a lovely touch; these details, together with the minimal but tasteful decorations, were just enough to mark the festive occasion without going over the top. The meal itself was a culinary delight from start to finish, and the only problem with the menu options was that we'd happily have had all of them!

Absolutely amazing food on Christmas Day, from the walnut focaccia as a pre starter to the Eccles cakes given to take away with us. None of the seven in the group left anything on their plates, and the staff were warm, friendly and nothing we asked for was a problem. Would definitely recommend, and will be going back soon

There’s normal restaurant food and there’s elite bistros food - it a big difference and for a small price difference. We had a most glorious Christmas Eve lunch with 8 adults and 3 toddlers and felt like we were in a private dining room. Service was superb, food was excellent and the family atmosphere was memorably calm and loving. Thanks sticky walnut for such a great start to Christmas.
