Christmas 2011
Dear Customer
After yet another year of doom and gloom we feel this Christmas we’re all overdue a little good cheer and we’d like to invite you to indulge yourself at the Helsby Arms.
You can choose to simply relax by our roaring log fire and soak up the festive atmosphere with our stunning real Christmas tree and flickering candles while enjoying a pint of Cask Marque real ale, a glass of one of our excellent wines or a coffee & freshly baked cookie.
You might like to savour an excellent value, sumptuous lunch or dinner made with the best quality locally sourced ingredients prepared in-house and cooked to order by our award winning Head Chef and his talented team.
Or why not let your hair down and tear up the dance floor at our New Year's Eve Buffet & Boogie?
However you choose to spend your time here this festive period we promise to do our best to spread some good cheer!
We wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas & a prosperous & happy New Year.
With heartfelt appreciation of your continued custom. Carole & Steve
