Festive Menu 2025 at The Fowler's Farm

presents-icons.png

Last year, we crossed everything off our festive to-do list: Celebratory treats, Christmas shopping, and sneaking in as many memorable moments at The Fowler's Farm as we could before the main event.

Fancy getting started on the next one? Our wonderful chefs already have one thing planned on theirs – deciding on the perfect flavours for a Festive Menu 2025 that will make this season in Braintree even more magical than the last.

But much like deciding on the perfect Christmas gift, these things take time. Make sure to come back later in the year, and until then… why not make more memories at ours while you wait?
