neems 2,406 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 We took my Mum out for Xmas dinner one year. It's just not the same, not to mention horrendously expensive. I think it suits some people depending on where they are in their lives. If you haven't got many people for xmas dinner for whatever reason, maybe just the immediate family, then i think it could be good being in a busy country restaurant, for the atmosphere. 90 quid a head seems a typical price but I'd certainly pay it, at least one year to see what its likes. I reckon in a decent pub it'd be sound. After the presents are all done,breakfast's finished and I've peeled the the veg I'm straight off to the pub to escape all the 'atmosphere' round here,until dinner. Wait until you've got stacks full of electric toys all going off at the same time,numerous disagreements,screaming and then the utter chaos and mess that comes from feeding small children food with gravy on it. You'll appreciate those quiet xmases then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
