Those of us here at The Optimist would like to let you in on a little secret, direct from Santa’s workshop: we’ve been keeping busy behind the scenes, creating a little something special (and delicious!) for your little elves this Christmas. Our festive menu is now available, but be warned — their eyes may be bigger than their bellies!

All bookings of 7 or more people between 15^th November and 1^st January (excluding Christmas Day) will require a deposit of £5 per person. For Christmas Day a deposit of £10 per person will be taken. Pre-orders will be taken for all Festive Menu bookings for 7 or more and all Christmas Day bookings. Full payment for Christmas Day will be due by 1^st December. Please know, that your deposit will remain safe, and if government advice changes and your booking cannot proceed, we will of course refund your deposit in full, using the original method of payment.
