What they ate is not officially published but can be pieced together by scrutinising the bourgeois press

Christmas breakfast: Women: fruit, half a grapefruit, toast, coffee served in their rooms. Men: full English in the dining room

Christmas lunch: Pre lunch drinks, gin & Dubbonet, Local Turkey from Scoles in Dersingham, carved by the Head Chef; Mashed & Roast Potatoes, chesnut & sage & onion stuffing, bread sauce, sprouts,parsnips, carrots. NO pigs in blankets; Christmas Pudding doused in brandy and lit by the Chief Steward

Evening buffet: stuffed boars head, ox tongue, roast and boiled hams
