NEW YEAR’S EVE
At a glance
Thursday 31 December 2026 | 7pm arrival
10 servings, 5 drinks pairings
Glass of Champagne on arrival
Hosted by Head Chef Adam Degg
£300 per person
If big parties and crowded dancefloors aren’t your style, FIFTY TWO offers something a little more intimate this New Year’s Eve.
Think friends around the table, aprons at the ready if curiosity strikes, great conversation flowing (helped along by a card prompt or two) and a playlist shaped by your own ‘dessert island discs’.
Head Chef Adam Degg, who you might recognise from The Great British Menu, will host your evening. There’s no printed menu on the night, just trust, talent, and ingredients either nurtured in our kitchen garden or hand-picked from local producers.
Expect 10 servings, 5 drinks pairings and a night that feels more like the best house party you’ve ever attended (without the washing up).
An arrival glass of Champagne will be served on the FIFTY TWO terrace at 7pm with dinner served at 7.15pm. If the weather is suitable, there will be an opportunity to walk around the Kitchen Garden before dinner.
When midnight approaches, you'll join other guests across Rudding Park to watch a spectacular firework display curated by Optimum Fireworks. From there, you can either keep things cosy with a nightcap at Clocktower Brasserie… or, head straight to the New Year's Eve Hootenanny at Rudding House — live bands, saxophone and DJ sets to dance through 'til 2am (£50pp supplement applies)
Alternatively, create your own tradition with exclusive hire for up to 20 guests from £6,000 - available on selected dates
