Les Gros Souper is a rather decadent six course Réveillon Festive Feast with the option of gathering round the fire pits for a Feurzangenbowle fire punch to begin. What a perfect excuse for a friends, family or colleagues festive gathering. Christmas as the club is slightly maverick and magical.

Fuerzangenbowle (Fire-Tongs Punch) is a German and now Hathersage Social Club Christmas tradition. Made to the Würstlin family recipe of fruit and spices with red wine and rum. The sugar is soaked with rum and set alight, melting and caramelising. The rum has to be at least 54% alcohol per volume in order to burn. More rum is poured with a ladle until all the sugar has melted and mixed with the wine. The ceremony is as important as drink itself, celebrating the gathering of friends and conveying a notion of gemütlichkeit.
Can be booked for tables of 6 or more
Price £7 per person
