Festive Dining

This year, The Banksia is reimagining festive dining with a Mediterranean twist. Our new seasonal menu brings together the comforting flavours of winter and the spirit of the Mediterranean. We’re talking fresh seafood, herb-roasted meats, and indulgent sweet treats – all made with the finest local produce that Leeds has to offer. It’s a lighter take on festive dining that’ll transport you straight to the coast…no passport required.

Whether you’re planning your work’s Christmas party, catching up with friends over a long lunch, or just need a pit stop while you wrap up the last of your Christmas shopping, The Banksia’s festive menu has you covered.

Available everyday* from November 28th – December 30th between 12:00-10:00pm, with 2 courses for £30, or 3 courses for £40 per person. (*Excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day)

We require a £10pp non-refundable deposit required at the time of booking. For groups of 6 or more, we would require a pre-order.
