For many people, Christmas dinner is the highlight of the festive season. Fresh vegetables, tender turkey and a sweet treat to finish all help to make this meal one of the most memorable of the year. We all love a home-cooked dinner, but why not give yourself or your mum a break this year and visit the Regency Restaurant for an extra special Christmas meal? You never know, enjoying a festive lunch at our restaurant Coventry could become your family’s favourite Christmas tradition.

Our Sunday lunches are always a popular choice whatever the time of year, but at Christmas our roast dinners are even more in demand. If you are familiar with the Regency Restaurant, then you will know that a unique dining experience awaits you when you step through our door, and at Christmas our chef pulls out all the stops to create a selection of delicious dishes to satisfy every taste. Combine this with our warm and welcoming festive atmosphere, and you can guarantee that this Christmas will be a huge success.

Here at the Regency Restaurant, we are renowned for our seasonal, locally-grown ingredients and inspired dishes, and whilst we understand that Christmas dinner is a classic, we still bring our own touch of unique flavour to this festive favourite.

Even if you are having a traditional home-cooked feast, why not visit us for a bite to eat during the run up to the big day? You could even pop in after a hard day’s Christmas shopping. Our close proximity to a range of hotels Birmingham means you can also enjoy a Christmas sherry or sample our extensive wine list before grabbing a taxi back to your accommodation.
