Christmas Dinner
Years ago I always went out for Christmas Dinner, places like the Dunk, Marthome Grange, and for a few years the Steak Bar in Ossy, it was my Brother-in-Laws place. Does anybody still do this and what are prices like today

It was next door to Owen and Ewing Insurance agents, which was midway between the Civic Theatre and Rhyddings Street, the premises is now part of that firm

Re: Christmas Dinner
Repeating past threads on this, but back to the Balti Stan for dinner (not lunchtime .. gotta wait still stomach wakes up !). They are extremely friendly there, and the surroundings are cosy and welcoming and you can stay as long as you wish.
Good news is my daughter and grandaughter has decided to join us ... as daughter appears to have got over her aversion to the smell of Indian food (can have Turkey with trimmings). So just my small family of 5.
Last year could only get in at late notice for an English 'venue' at the Red Lion Whitebirk on Christmas Eve .. was very poor food, poor lighting and surroundings, and they hurried us out to prepare for Christmas Day. Maybe different this year though, so don't wish to slate them too much.
Would not even think about cooking now on Christmas day.

Re: Christmas Dinner

I would Jaysay, but is bordering on the truth.
I'm quite happy to cook plain food for myself now, but don't mind other people cooking something more exotic for me Food is just food to me to keep my body healthy. Really admire women (and men) who produce lovely exciting meals every day. Just find it surfeit to my requirements.

"Surfeit to my requirements" Do you always talk like this .... or are you smoking something that might interest me And if you like something exotic, may I suggest some Giant Condor; tastes a lot like Whooping Crane only a little saltier .......

Re: Christmas Dinner
Xmas dinner, in this house, will be salmon-en-croute (Sainsbury's) as my daughter and granddaughter, who live with me, are non-meat eaters. Daughter will prepare the vegetables and pudding will be the endless boxes of chocolates we seem to acquire every Xmas - washed down with port, brandy etc.
Boxing Day will see me and all my children and grandchildren at a local hostelry which has an excellent carvery and deliciously wicked puddings. Later, we will have a buffet (most of which is already in my freezers), an awful lot of champagne and other booze, and some very silly board games.
