New Year's Eve at Riverside Hotel Branston

The countdown has begun and we've stocked up on bubbly (and then some), so let's get this New Year's Eve pub party started and wave farewell to 2026! To us, New Year's Eve is a colourful celebration of happy memories and new beginnings. That's why we're taking care of everything, so you can enjoy every sparkling moment.

Join us during the day for a bit of merry nibbling and sipping with our Festive Picky Bits Menu to ease yourself into the party mood (though you might want to loosen those trousers early). Or, when the evening rolls in, settle down and tuck into our New Year's Eve menu with three delicious courses for £37. After that, it's up to you! Cosy up by the fire with a warming hot toddy, or get up and dance like no one’s watching! We're here to keep the good times rolling.
