Been out for Xmas dinner a couple of times ,by far the best one was up the Hastings Hill from George and the girls .
Geo even mixed the sprouts and the broccoli In with me mash,as he knows I can’t stand them.
 
Been out a few times down here in Harrogate. Places are always booked very early and you are finished by 4pm. We always enjoy it. Bloody expensive mind.
 
£70 odd quid for a Sunday dinner ? :eek:

You can come to ours and be served by a pissed bloke wearing a paper hat for £50
Surely you can see why people would rather pay the extra £20 for the comfort of a restaurant and sober, attractive waitresses.
 
One of the best things we've ever done going out for xmas dinner. All the women in the family not stressed to bits about getting the dinner sorted, means we can get all the families together in one place rather, all the kids see each other.
Takes away all the aggro cooking and washing up, and no disappointed relatives when you tell them you're going to a different relatives for xmas or they can't come to yours because there's already gonna be 9 people and you only have 6 chairs.
Not one person in the family regret doing it apart from my old man who doesn't think its worth £70 a head
 
Ma always threatens were ganning out somewhere next year but we never do, it wouldn’t be Christmas ganning somewhere to have dinner, I like the mess and carnage of most of my family coming to our house and everyone eating together in the comfort of our house where you can get pissed fart and just be yourself.
 
toyed with the idea every year and apart from going to a friends house for dinner twice in the last 6 years always end up doing it at home, because

A) im a class cook and cant imagine paying £50+ a head for something i can do at home

B) i wont be allowed 20+ pigs in blankets in a pub/restaraunt

C) you never get enough meat..we always do 3 joints...

D) i want to be able to sit and eat my dinner in whatever ridiculous T-shirt i have acquired from ASDA george that year, if u go out u feel the need to dress up

E) some fucker has to drive

F) i want to be able to crawl to the couch after all that bait

G) FUCK OFF

Some of my family went to the Grange for their Christmas dinner a couple of year ago and none of them enjoyed it. The place was too busy, service was slow, the food not all that great and they paid a fortune for the privilege.

That's exactly the kind of stuff that puts me off the idea. I can get all that at home.
 
Did it a few years back at Bowburn Hall, not sure how much but as a guide they want £73 a head this year.

Saved me the cooking but it was like eating Christmas dinner in a nursing home. f***ing awful.
That's not bad. We're paying £60 at a local place, nowhere near as nice as bowburn hall

Exactly.
I do ours and wouldn't have it any other way. Mind, I'm a chef by trade, so it's a piece of piss to do. No mess, no hassle.....would I shite fork out £70 a head for a Sunday dinner.
Top tip. As well as pigs in blankets, do some where you substitute the sausage for sage n onion stuffing. Lush.
