Escapade Silverstone: Take Things Up a Gear This Christmas With Elegant Trackside Dining

For those who find themselves caught in the familiar December scramble… last-minute lunches to organise, family gatherings to host, festive fatigue creeping in, Escapade, Silverstone offers a rather glamorous escape route. This year, the legendary home of British motorsport is pairing the drama of the Silverstone Circuit with an elegant seasonal dining experience at The Gallery Restaurant & Bar, its contemporary trackside restaurant. The result? A Christmas celebration that feels fresh, refined, and thrillingly different.

Perched above panoramic views of the circuit, The Gallery has launched a limited-time Festive Menu that runs from 1st December 2025 to 3rd January 2026. It’s designed for anyone seeking the joy of a beautifully curated meal without the burden of planning, prep or washing up. Two courses start at £55, with three at £65 an accessible cost for such an exceptional setting.

The menu opens with an array of seasonal small plates that set the tone for a meal rooted in fine ingredients and thoughtful technique. Diners can begin with House Beetroot-Cured Chalk Stream Trout served alongside Horseradish Cream, Cucumber and a crisp Mooli Salad; or Pan-Seared Scottish Scallops lifted by Maple-Cured Bacon and Pine Nuts. There’s also a decadent Duck Liver Parfait brightened with Kumquats, Cherry and Savoury Granola, while a Jerusalem Artichoke Soup enriched with Popcorn and Truffle brings comfort with a touch of whimsy.

The main courses offer a mix of traditions honoured and innovations embraced. The Sage-Roasted Turkey Breast Ballotine arrives with all the classic trimmings: Pigs in Blankets and Maple-glazed Parsnips, while a Spiced Ale-Braised Ox Cheek accompanied by Heather Honey-roasted Carrots, Potato Purée and a Beer Sauce delivers the kind of deep, wintery richness made for lingering meals. A Seabass, Celeriac and Barley Risotto finished with a Cep Beurre Noisette caters to those craving indulgent seafood, and vegans will appreciate the vibrant Feta and Root Vegetable Pithivier with Roasted Sprouts, Glazed Parsnips, Carrot Purée and Porcini Mushroom Jus.

Desserts maintain the celebratory mood: Panettone Pudding with Clementine Custard, a Honduran Mayan Red Chocolate Fondant paired with Cranberry Ice Cream, a classic Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream, and an exemplary cheese selection for those who prefer savoury endings. A seasonal Kids’ Menu ensures younger diners are every bit as well catered for.

While the Festive Menu takes centre stage in December, The Gallery’s wider all-day offer, covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday lunch, continues to showcase modern British cooking shaped by creativity, freshness, and the warmth of seasonal produce.

For groups, parties or company celebrations, the restaurant and bar offer standout options: seated Private Dining for up to 40, exclusive hire of the full space, or more intimate gatherings in the 20-seat Private Dining Room or 30-seat Briefing Room. The panoramic Roof Deck and Bar adds yet another unforgettable vantage point for festive entertaining.

Escapade Silverstone’s Festive Menu is available throughout the season for lunch and dinner, welcoming parties of any size. For those craving an elevated, stress-free Christmas celebration, complete with exceptional food and a front-row seat to the country’s most iconic track, it’s difficult to think of anywhere more atmospheric.
