First Dates Christmas Special Ditches London for Hampshire in Festive Move
The First Dates Christmas special aired on Christmas Day, bursting with festive cheer—but there’s a twist. This year’s romantic rendezvous was filmed not in stylish London, but at a cosy new spot on the Hampshire-Berkshire border.
New Location Sparks Rumours
The show’s bosses have yet to confirm if the Hampshire venue will become the permanent new home. The move came after logistical headaches forced the production to abandon the Paternoster Chop House in St Paul’s. Insiders say staff and owners there were “gutted” about losing the popular filming gig.
Romance Blooms at The Wellington Arms
Filmed in the charming village of Tadley, the Christmas special took place at The Wellington Arms, offering a heartwarming backdrop for couples to spark new connections. The award-winning menu, known for its mouthwatering dishes, is sure to delight fans of the show.
Stay tuned for more updates on this festive switch-up!
