This much-loved dish appears on the pre-Christmas festive menu, giving you the chance to enjoy all the comforting familiarity of a traditional Boxing Day meal without the crowds, the chaos, or the post-Christmas fatigue.
A Taste of Boxing Day Calm. Before the Big Day
Boxing Day food has always been about comfort rather than ceremony. It’s unfussy, hearty and reassuring. Loungers capture that spirit perfectly by offering their Boxing Day Ham ahead of Christmas, when you’re still able to savour it properly. The Boxing Day Ham is Treacle cured pork belly, roast potato chips, slaw and truffle stuffing mayo.
Enjoying it earlier in December feels like a gentle warm-up to the festivities, a reminder of what’s coming, rather than something squeezed into an already busy holiday.
Festive Comfort Without the Pressure
Pre-Christmas can be surprisingly intense: shopping trips, appointments, social commitments and year-end deadlines all competing for attention. Sitting down to a Boxing Day ham meal at Loungers offers a pause button moment.
No stress.
No prep.
No expectations.
Just proper food, served in a relaxed setting, at a time when you actually have the headspace to enjoy it.
Perfect for Catch-Ups and Low-Key Celebrations
Because it’s available before Christmas, the Boxing Day Ham is ideal for:
Casual festive meet-ups with friends
A midweek lunch during Christmas shopping
A relaxed family meal without the formality of “proper” Christmas dining
An office or company Christmas party. (Actually, a Loungers cafe bar was where That's Christmas 365 staged its own office party!(
It feels festive without being overwhelming, exactly what many people are looking for in the run-up to Christmas.
Loungers Do Relaxed Festivity Exceptionally Well
Loungers café bars are known for their welcoming, informal atmosphere. In December, that translates into gentle festive décor, a warm buzz, and none of the pressure you can feel in more formal seasonal venues.
You can turn up as you are, linger over your meal, and enjoy a festive dish that feels familiar rather than forced.
A Festive Treat That Doesn’t Clash With Christmas Day
One of the best things about having this meal before Christmas is that it doesn’t compete with Christmas Day itself. You’re not repeating leftovers or feeling like you’re rushing through traditions.
Instead, it becomes part of the build-up — a small but satisfying Christmas ritual that marks the season without taking anything away from the big day.
A Quietly Brilliant Christmas Tradition
Calling it “Boxing Day Ham” is almost a stroke of genius. It evokes everything we love about the days around Christmas, comfort, simplicity and slowing down, while fitting neatly into the busiest part of December.
If you’re looking for a festive meal that feels genuinely enjoyable rather than obligatory, Loungers’ pre-Christmas Boxing Day ham is well worth adding to your Christmas countdown.
