Christmas

Christmas at Petronella

As the evenings draw in and Kilkenny begins to glow beneath its Christmas lights, the Butter Slip takes on a little extra magic. Think candlelight, cosy festive tables, the scent of cinnamon, mulled wine drifting through the laneway and long lunches and dinners shared around the table.

Christmas at Petronella is a celebration of the season, a decadent festive menu designed for gathering, celebrating and making an occasion of it.

Festive Group Dining

The office party, the extended family, old friends, or the people you only manage to gather around the table once a year. Petronella is made for festive occasions. Our 3-course festive menu brings together the warmth and indulgence of Christmas with the food and hospitality Petronella is known for. Available for lunch and dinner for groups of 8 or more.

Christmas Eve at Petronella

There is something particularly magical about Christmas Eve in Kilkenny. As the shops close and the streets begin to quieten, the city takes a breath before the big day. At Petronella, the candles are glowing, the glasses are clinking and Christmas Eve is just getting started.

Join us in the heart of Kilkenny for a leisurely lunch before the festivities begin – the perfect way to ease into Christmas.
