Re: Christmas Dinner

Not to sure what we are doing this year as I'm on nights Xmas Eve (will have to keep out of sight if I hear Santa) and Xmas Day. Might see about a small roast or something like that and slow cook it while in bed LOL

Re: Christmas Dinner

As usual I shall be dining out on Christmas day, not sure of the venue yet, (don't know which pubs will be open), my main course will be a packet of whatever flavour crisps they have behind the bar with all the trimmings (lot's of foaming beer).

I may even treat myself to one of those little packets of cheese 'N' crackers just to end the meal with, I do love a well matured cheese spread.

Thumbs down Re: Christmas Dinner

I have always cooked xmas dinner for the family for the past 33 years, but last year we went out for the first time to the Spread Eagle at Mellor. IMO it was very poor value for money. I opted for the traditional Xmas dinner. Starters was a bowl of pumpkin soup, (the bowl being the size of a small bucket). Main course of Turkey, we had to ask for stuffings, cranberry sauce and gravy as they weren't on the table, dessert was xmas pud which was ok.
I think they took too many covers (around 170, I believe) and gave us the bucket of soup to fill us up as the portions of turkey etc were quite small. It cost £43 for this, there were 10 of us.

This year it is £58, needless to say I will be cooking.

BTW, we are paying £50 for a 5 course at Northcote Manor on 28th, so I can't see how a pub can justify £58 for xmas lunch.
