Dolly's Vintage Christmas Menu

🌟 DOLLY’S VINTAGE CHRISTMAS MENU 2025 🌟 A Home-Front Christmas at Dolly’s… Step inside and let Christmas begin the old-fashioned way. Here at Dolly’s, we’ve dressed the tearoom in a little 1940s magic — soft winter lights, the gentle hum of the kettle, and the cosy nostalgia of a Christmas spent together. Our festive menu is inspired by the simplicity and warmth of the Home-Front years: comforting flavours, generous plates, and treats made with love — the kind of Christmas your Nan would have sworn by. Every cup poured, every slice served, and every scone baked is our way of saying: “Sit down, love… you’re home now.” Whether you’re here for a hearty breakfast, a comforting lunch, or a luxury festive afternoon tea, you’ll find something that wraps you in warmth like a woollen winter blanket. This is Christmas at Dolly’s. Where traditions are treasured, memories are made, and every cup tells a story.
