For groups of nine guests or more, select from our three festive menus, offering a variety of shared antipasti, main, and dessert with the additional option of a pasta course. It’s the perfect way to come together this Christmas season and celebrate with a unique Italian touch in the heart of Somerset. Our festive menus are available from 19th November through until early January.
An Italian Christmas in Somerset
Gather friends and family for Italian traditions, seasonal sharing feasts and festive celebrations!
Christmas Lights switch on
Kick off the festive season with us at Durslade Farm on Saturday 29th November, as we light up the site with our Christmas lights!
Enjoy an evening filled with festive cheer with carols sung by the Bruton St. Mary’s Church Choir. Afterwards, head into Da Costa for wood-fired plates from our grill, comforting pasta and risotto dishes and warm hospitality.
family-friendly festivities
Keep the little ones happy with our children’s menu, featuring freshly made pasta and homemade ice cream.
Don’t miss our family-friendly pasta-making workshop on Tuesday 11th November from 4pm-6pm, where small (and big!) pasta lovers are invited to learn how to make fresh pasta alongside our chefs, a relaxed way to celebrate the joy of cooking and good food.
a taste of winter
Our winter menu celebrates the very best seasonal ingredients. Enjoy North Italian flavours made with local Somerset produce, wild foraged ingredients from the Durslade Estate, and dishes inspired by traditional Italian cooking. From comforting risottos to hearty pasta, every plate is a true taste of winter.
Niki de Saint Phalle & Jean Tinguely: Myths & Machines
Combine your visit with a walk through Hauser & Wirth’s Exhibition, Niki de Saint Phalle (1930 – 2002) and Jean Tinguely (1925 – 1991) in collaboration with the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. The first exhibition dedicated to both artists in the UK illustrates Saint Phalle and Tinguely’s visionary artistic output and enduring creative collaboration over three decades.
After exploring the galleries and gardens, Da Costa is the perfect place to refuel and unwind.
