Each December, The Nuthatch transforms into a warm, candlelit haven in the heart of Middlesbrough’s independent quarter for Christmas. Garlands and twinkling lights frame the bar, glasses clink, and the sound of laughter fills the air as friends gather to celebrate the season.
It’s the time of year we love most — a chance to share our passion for exceptional drinks, good company, and the unmistakable Nuthatch atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting for a quiet evening by candlelight or a full-on festive celebration, this year’s Christmas line-up promises something truly special.
Running between Christmas and New Year, Noël & Nibbles is our take on Bottomless — indulgent, relaxed, and unmistakably Nuthatch.
Guests can enjoy 90 minutes of unlimited Christmas cocktails, all handcrafted by our bar team and inspired by the flavours of the season. Expect everything from rich winter spices and festive citrus to sparkling, show-stopping serves that capture the magic of the holidays.
Each table also enjoys a British Charcuterie & Cheese Board to share, filled with carefully sourced meats, cheeses, and accompaniments designed for the perfect graze. It’s a feast for both the eyes and the palate — a laid-back afternoon that’s more about quality conversation and laughter than rushing through rounds.
Noël & Nibbles is priced at £45 per person, with a £10 deposit required when booking to secure your place. The balance is settled on the day, making it the perfect treat to slot into that wonderful week between Christmas and New Year when time slows down and indulgence feels like a tradition.
As always, the Christmas cocktail menu at The Nuthatch celebrates craftsmanship and creativity. This year’s line-up includes ten limited-edition drinks, each one crafted to evoke the comfort, sparkle, and nostalgia of the season.
From rich, warming flavours like dark chocolate and spice to crisp winter citrus and festive fizz, every cocktail is a nod to the magic of the holidays — and to the creativity that defines our bar team year-round.
If you’ve joined us before, you’ll know our drinks are more than recipes; they’re experiences — poured, stirred, and served with care.
No Christmas at The Nuthatch would be complete without our British Charcuterie & Cheese Boards. Each one is built for sharing — featuring six artisan items alongside bread, crackers, and accompaniments. It’s everything you’d want alongside cocktails and conversation on a winter’s evening.
Sourcing remains at the heart of what we do. We work with small, independent producers from across the UK to bring the very best to your table, from award-winning cheeses to beautifully cured meats that pair perfectly with our drinks.
Our New Year’s Eve celebration is now fully booked, and we can’t wait to welcome those lucky enough to have secured a table. It promises to be an unforgettable night filled with fizz, cocktails, and celebration as we raise a glass to 2026.
Guests will enjoy a welcome fizz cocktail, Charcuterie & Cheese Boards to share, two handcrafted cocktails from our menu, bar snacks throughout the evening, and Champagne at midnight.
For everyone who missed out this time — don’t worry, the celebrations continue with Noël & Nibbles between Christmas and New Year, giving you another chance to toast the season in style.
If you’re still searching for a thoughtful Christmas present, our Nuthatch Gift Cards are available to purchase online and make the perfect gift for cocktail lovers. They can be used for drinks, food, or experiences — and are a wonderful way to treat someone to an evening out in the new year.
Whether you’re raising a glass with friends, catching up with loved ones, or simply enjoying the magic of the season, The Nuthatch is the perfect setting for festive celebrations in Middlesbrough.
Bookings for Noël & Nibbles are now open, and with limited spaces available, we’d recommend securing your table soon.
