Enjoy a Christmas meal in Handsworth at Sword Dancer

Let's get straight to it. Here's the deal with Christmas at Sword Dancer: festive feasts? Check. Santa's on his way? Check – and he's making a stop off for breakfast at ours. We're the home of full-on, festive fun. For everyone.

Whether you're celebrating merry moments with your mates or you've ended up here after your work 'do' (and you probably should've already gone home), Sword Dancer is the place to be in Handsworth for Christmas dinner, Breakfast with Santa, festive drinks and more. Jingle your bells, shake your antlers and loosen a button because we're going in. All in. It's time to take holly jolly to a whole new level.

Two people in festive jumpers sit at a Christmas dining table in a pub decorated with a snow-covered Christmas tree and seasonal decorations. One person wears a reindeer antler headband and a red novelty nose, while the other wears a paper crown from a Christmas cracker. Glassware and drinks are arranged on the table, creating a fun and festive Christmas Day gathering.

With a great atmosphere, refreshing drinks, unmissable events and the best festive food around, why WOULDN'T you want to spend Christmas with us? Just so you know, our Christmas bookings are now open, so you can secure your Christmas Day table at ours now. Early birds.

Plates include a traditional roast dinner with turkey, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy, alongside a steak meal with chips, peas and grilled tomato. Glasses of lager and red wine, Christmas crackers and shared tableware complete the festive dining scene.

All in on Christmas dinner

And, we think ours is better than Mum's. Sorry! It had to be said.

Keep it traditional, switch it up... Whatever you please, friend. Christmas dinner might just be the most important meal of the year, so let's not take any chances on Auntie Nora's burnt roasties.

Check out our Christmas Day plans

Three football fans sit around a wooden table in a sports pub decorated for Christmas, celebrating while watching live football on large screens. A Santa hat, reindeer antlers and team scarves add to the festive atmosphere, with a frosted Christmas tree in the background. Burgers topped with onion rings and pickle skewers, chips and glasses of beer are served on the table, creating a lively Boxing Day matchday dining scene.

All in on the Festive Sport

One eye on your Christmas meal, the other on the TV? If that's how you roll, then you'll be glad to know we're showing all the important stuff all Christmas long on our Sky Sports and TNT Sports screens. It's going to be a full-on festival of festive sport and we just. Can't. Wait.

Check out our Festive Sport

Four adults celebrate New Year’s Eve in front of a shimmering gold and silver tinsel backdrop, holding miniature beers and layered shot glasses. Several people wear novelty “Happy New Year” headbands and oversized party glasses, while glittering outfits and sparkling decorations create a lively festive atmosphere.

Boxing Day 2026

Boxing Day is definitely Christmas Day round two. Sorry, not sorry. We just want the celebrations to last forever! Which is exactly why our pub is open on Boxing Day – because we just love being part of the action.

Oh, and FYI – your new Christmas PJs are invited too. We're not judging. IT'S CHRISTMAS!
